No, I’m asking. Was your church a racist church before it allowed black clergy?

This is a simple question.

Was your church a racist church before it allowed black clergy?

Why don't you do some research and find out?

Your BoM was racist when first 'interpreted', and it still is today.

  'And he had caused the cursing to come upon them, yea, even a sore cursing, because of their iniquity. For behold, they had hardened their hearts against him, that they had become like unto a flint; wherefore, as they were white, and exceedingly fair and delightsome, that they might not be enticing unto my people, the Lord God did cause a skin of blackness to come upon them.'

-- 2 Nephi 5: 21

 

'And the skins of the Lamanites were dark, according to the mark which was set upon their fathers, which was a curse upon them because of their transgression and their rebellion against their brethren, who consisted of Nephi, Jacob and Joseph, and Sam, who were just and holy men.'

-- Alma 3: 6

... that they might not be enticing unto my people...

 

That has worked well!!

 

 

 

 

 In 2013, the LDS Church disavowed previous teachings which stated that interracial marriage is a sin.^[9][10]

In 2013, the LDS Church...

I guess it took a LOT more praying - from 1978 to 2013 - before GOD finally changed His mind; again.

[teppe]

So, when did your church stop teaching that inter-racial marriage was a sin?

[teppe]

Naw ... I just wanted to know if you knew as much about your own church as you think that you know about mine.

Apparently you do not. Pretty hypocritical.

[Elsie]

Show your data.

If you have any.

[Elsie]

Naw ... I just wanted to know if you knew as much about your own church as you think that you know about mine.

I do not 'think I know' any thing about your chosen religion.

I do; however; know how to find and print the things it teaches.

The Doctrine and Covenants

Section 49

Revelation given through Joseph Smith the Prophet to Sidney Rigdon, Parley P. Pratt, and Leman Copley, at Kirtland, Ohio, May 7, 1831. Leman Copley had embraced the gospel but still held to some of the teachings of the Shakers (United Society of Believers in Christ’s Second Appearing), to which he had formerly belonged. Some of the beliefs of the Shakers were that Christ’s Second Coming had already occurred and that He had appeared in the form of a woman, Ann Lee. They did not consider baptism by water essential. They rejected marriage and believed in a life of total celibacy. Some Shakers also forbade the eating of meat. In prefacing this revelation, Joseph Smith’s history states, “In order to have [a] more perfect understanding on the subject, I inquired of the Lord, and received the following.” The revelation refutes some of the basic concepts of the Shaker group. The aforementioned brethren took a copy of the revelation to the Shaker community (near Cleveland, Ohio) and read it to them in its entirety, but it was rejected.

 

 17–21, The eating of meat is approved; 

 

 

 18 And whoso ^aforbiddeth to ^babstain from ^cmeats, that man should not eat the same, is not ordained of God;

 19 For, behold, the ^abeasts of the field and the fowls of the air, and that which cometh of the earth, is ^bordained for the use of man for food and for ^craiment, and that he might have in abundance.

D&C 89:12-13  12 Yea, flesh also of beasts and of the fowls of the air, I, the Lord, have ordained for the use of man with thanksgiving; nevertheless they are to be used sparingly; 13 And it is pleasing unto me that they should not be used, only in times of winter,
