WE KNOW THE SCRIPTURES ARE TRUE,
BECAUSE THEY TELL US SO!

(1831 - 1844)
JOSEPH SMITH Discoverer of the Golden plates
First Prophet and President and Founder of the Mormon Church:
"Had I anything to do with the negro , I would confine them by strict law to
their own species and put them on a national equalization.''

(1848 - 1877)
BRIGHAM YOUNG 2nd Prophet and President
"You see some classes of the human family that are black, uncouth, uncomely,
disagreeable, sad, low in their habits, wild, and seemingly without the blessings of the
intelligence that is generally bestowed upon mankind.
"Shall I tell you the law of God in regard to the African race? If
the white man who belongs to the chosen seed mixes his blood with the seed of Cain, the
penalty, under the law of God, is death on the spot. This will always be
so."
|
 |
(1877 - 1887) JOHN TAYLOR 3rd Prophet and President
"...after the flood we are told that the curse that had been pronounced upon Cain
was continued through Ham's wife, as he had married a wife of that seed. And why did it
pass through the flood? Because it was necessary that the devil should have a
representation a upon a the earth as well as God;.. "

(1901 - 1918) JOSEPH FIELDING SMITH 10th Prophet and President
"I would not want you to believe that we bear any animosity toward the Negro. "Darkies"
are wonderful people, and they have their place in our church."
"Not only was Cain called upon to suffer, but because of his wickedness he
became the father of an inferior race.
"... and they have been 'despised among all people.' This
doctrine did not originate with President Brigham Young but was taught by the Prophet
Joseph Smith ..."

BRUCE
R. McCONKIE of the Quorum of the 12 Apostles
The negroes are not equal with other races
when the receipt of certain spiritual blessings are concerned..."
...As a result of his rebellion, Cain was cursed with a dark
skin; he became the father of the negroes"
"Cain Ham, and the whole negro race have _ cursed with a black skin, the
mark of Cain, so they can be identified as a caste apart, a people with whom the other
descendants of Adam should not intermarry."
|
MARK E. PETERSON of the Quorum of the 12
Apostles
"At least in the cases of the Lamanites and the negroes we have the definite
word of the Lord Himself that He placed a dark skin upon them as a curse - as a
punishment and as a sign to all others.
" If there is one drop of negro blood in my children, as I have read to you,
they receive the curse, There isn't any argument, therefore, as to intermarriage with
the Negro, is there? "Now we are generous with the Negro. We are willing that the Negro have the
highest kind of education. I would be willing to let every Negro drive a Cadillac
if they could afford it.

ORSON PRATT of the Quorum of the 12 Apostles
"The Lord has not kept them in store for five or six thousand years past, and kept
them waiting for their bodies all this time to send them among the Hottentots, the
African Negroes, the idolatrous Hindoos, or any other of the fallen nations of the
earth

These Seers and Revelators silently acquiesced
in in the Mormon condemnation of black and Indian people.
It is
noteworthy than none disagreed.
In all fairness --
In June in 1978, President
Kimball spoke with The Heavenly Father, who lives on the planet Kolob.
Afterwards, an announcement was made -- without any doctrinal statement -- which only said
the Lord had indicated that the time for change had come. Blacks could now become
full participants in the church, if they are worthy." Nothing else had
happened.
But No doctrinal statement was given.
Mormonism can never correct its
denigrating view of Blacks and Indians. To do so would mean that the scriptures
aren't true. It would mean that the war in the 'pre-existence', on Kolob might,
after all, not have caused the devil to mix his blood with that of Cain. Then,
Cain could not have fathered all black skinned children...
A doctrinal statement to gloss over
this racist mormon business is therefore not possible. Mormonism could not survive
it.
To correct the bigotry now would mean
that Joseph Smith could not have translated the golden plates. Perhaps Smith
could not even translate anything at all! Perhaps he couldn't read
Egyptian, to boot. Could it be that Smith was a fraud and Mormonism is his
colossal hoax? If so it would mean an unthinkable loss of tithing revenue for
church coffers.
A Mormon recantation of its racist
foundation cannot happen because racism is directly hard-wired into the source code of the
entire program.
However, with the
change of the Negroes receiving the Priesthood in 1978, Mormon leaders
are attempting to cover up this embarrassing teaching concerning skin
color.
"... many
generations shall not pass away among them, save they shall be a WHITE
and a delightsome people." (1830 Edition, p. 117)
"... PURE and
delightsome people." (1840 Edition)
"...WHITE and
delightsome people." (All later editions until 1981)
"... PURE and
delightsome people." (1981 Edition, II Nephi 30:6)
Although the Mormon
Church will not make available the handwritten manuscript of the Book of
Mormon, the R.L.D.S. Church has the handwritten printers copy,
which was given to the printer to set the type for the first printing.
It too, agrees with the 1830 Edition. It reads "white".

The
above quotes by Mormon Primates are short ones.
Read on if you would like to see the comments in their fuller context, along with
the sources from which they are taken.
A good site where you can verify -- from
the Mormon's own scriptures -- that what is written here is not just all made up, is the
Mormon church's bookstore: http://www.deseretbook.com/scriptures/pgp_home.html
.
Mormon Scripture is quietly and systematically
being cleaned up. For example, the 'Mormon Doctrine' by Mormonism's chief
apologist, Bruce McConkie, is being revised regularly. Much of the
condemnation of Blacks has been censored away. You may have to track down some older
copies in libraries to verify the veracity of this web page.
Much of this text is also given at
various 'Truer' Christian web sites, each with its own axe to grind. These sites
dredge up the ugly side of Mormonism to bolster their own view of THE TRUTH. One such site
is Saints Alive In Jesus
Here are some recent and good books about
Mormonism
