What Your Sunday School Teacher Didn't Tell You About Blacks in Mormonism

Joseph stated this himself on April 7, 1836: "The curse is not yet taken off the sons of Canaan, neither will it be until it is affected by as great s power as caused it to come." Continued...

I have studied theology and Mormon doctrine for more than 60 years and I am well aware that inspired exceptions were made to this ban. Continued...

I’d highly encourage every church member to read Paul Reeves book, Let’s Talk About Race and Priesthood, sold at Deseret Book. This policy was so much more than a priesthood ban, it was a horrific display of racism and pure blood ideology that was truly alarming. It’s a shameful part of our past and a formal apology is due. The church can also stop blaming God for this ban and admit that it was a mistake of man from the start.

It is not official church doctrine and would be good fir toilet paper if it werent so hard! It us full of lies, misleading statements, and omissions!!!

[@GeorgeDemetz]

This is what Joseph Smith had to say about deceivers like Dr. Reeves: If any man preach to you doctrines contrary to the scriptures, mark that man down as an imposter!!! Continued...

[@GeorgeDemetz]

However, Joseph knew about the ban! He is the one who translated the first chapter of Abraham, Moses 7:8 and 7:22! READ THEM! Continued...

No priesthood ban is mentioned in any of those verses.

[@GeorgeDemetz]

@@brettmajeske3525 You need to read Abraham chapter one again! It specifically states that pharaoh was banned from the priesthood due to him being of that "race," (from Canaan) which was denied it!!!

Why? If you know how to live you don't need people to tell you how to live. There are those that need to be reminded daily how to live. If you can't afford institutions by all means join a religion.

[@GeorgeDemetz]

Joseph Smith and other prophets made inspired exceptions such as Christ made for the Canaanite woman as Matthew records. In fact, these were made as late as 1935! Continued...

[@GeorgeDemetz]

It was scripture, which makes it official church doctrine! READ Abraham chapter one, Moses 7:8, and Moses 7:22! Continued...

[@GeorgeDemetz]

I could tell the story if the underhanded and deceitful way that this evil lying essay was rushed for approval and hurriedly published, but that is confidential! Continued...

[@GeorgeDemetz]

His evil essay has thrown the church and many if its prophets under the bus and has dine great harm to them and the churcs credibility, but what can our leaders say now?!? Continued...
