Evidence that The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints Possesses Priesthood Authority

Summary: Latter-day Saints claim to hold a special authorization from God to perform ordinances on behalf of others that are necessary for their individual salvation and exaltation. It is on the basis of this possession that The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints claims to be God's "only true and living church on the face of the whole earth" (Doctrine and Covenants 1:30). This claim is controversial for obvious reasons. If evidence can be given to show that the Church does not possess this authorization, then their claim to being the only true church can be either weakened or entirely dismissed. This article explores what evidence the Church can give to support their claim to the possession of priesthood authorization.
