....
the prophet and his counselors have different keys not given to the other apostles....
i believe they all possess the keys of being prophets, seers, etc, but i think the prophet and his presidency have additional keys that are bestowed upon them by the whole group of apostles.....joseph fielding smith talks of this in doctrines of salvation, how all the apostles contain keys and when a prophet dies collectively they have all the keys to bestow upon the new prophet....
if you dont have all of the apostles you cant have the full keys of the priesthood, without the full keys of the priesthood you cant organize a church....
when i talked of ressurection i was talking of john, and peter, james, and john must be beings with bodies of flesh and blood, how else could they lay on hands? i think the 3 nephites, and john were quickened beings. they were quickened, meaning probably died and brought to life again to never taste death again....
