  Priesthood (Mormonism) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
There are at least two types (called "orders") of Mormon priesthood: (1) the Aaronic Priesthood (or Levitical priesthood), which is considered to be a lesser priesthood tracing its roots to Aaron the brother of Moses, (2) the Melchizedek Priesthood, which is considered to be a higher priesthood.
The Book of Mormon refers to priests that were "called and prepared from the foundation of the world according to the foreknowledge of God, on account of their exceeding faith and good works." (Alma 13:3).
Mormons generally understand priesthood power to be given in one of two ways: (1) as part of an ordination ceremony, or (2) through the Endowment ceremony (a minority view).

The case was originally filed in 1995, in response to the way that the Mormon family, and a Catholic family that joined them in the suit, were treated by teachers and other students in the school district.
When one of the children in the Mormon family questioned a teacher's promotion of a revival, the teacher asked the student what religion she belonged to.
When told that the child was Mormon, the teacher launched into an attack on Mormonism, calling it a "non-Christian cult," saying it was of the devil, and telling the child that she was going to hell.

 Bob Davis - Mormonism: Cult or Christianity?
Mormon had written the history of the Nephites, as was started by Nephi, and was carried on by other Nephites down the line, on golden plates.
Mormon abridged the contents of the smaller plates and hid his abridgment in the hill of Cumorah.
After Mormon was killed in battle in 3 8 5 A.D., his son Moroni added to the plates the books of Ether and Moroni, and reburied the plates on Cumorah in 421 A.D. In the years 1823-1827, Moroni, now an angel, or resurrected personage, disclosed the place he had originally hid the plates.

 Book on Mormon Religion
A slight challenge exists that the original Mormon leaders and their numerous character witnesses that would rise to their defense when they were slandered and falsely accused are no longer alive to defend themselves, and thus we only have their testimonies and that history which hasn't yet been tampered with.
Mormons should also know that these commandments not to worship others Gods, apply today just as they did then; that they are not to trifle with strange beliefs outside of their religion.
Mormons should know to trust only in the traditions revealed from God, and not try to incorporate ancient symbols into their religion, based on flawed historical research, and the opinions of man. The Book of Mormon warns us not to put our trust in the arm of flesh.
