Remarks made by the mormon Prophet Brigham Young in the SLC mormon tabernacle...dated 1863:
"The rank, rabid abolitionists, whom I call black-hearted Republicans, have set the whole national fabric on fire. Do you know this, Democrats? They have kindled the fire that is raging now from the north to the south, and from the south to the north. I am no abolitionist. Neither am I a proslavery man; I hate some of their principles and especially some of their conduct, as I do the gates of hell. The Southerners make the negroes, and the Northerners worship them; this is all the difference between slaveholders and abolitionists. I would like the President of the United States and all the world to hear this.
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.
Pretty strong words..by a prophet of mormonism.
Here's another......by the prophet B. Young
I would rather undertake to convert five thousand Lamanites [American Indians], than to convert one of those poor miserable creatures ( Jews ) whose fathers killed the Savior, and who say, "Amen to the deed," to this day. Yea, I would rather undertake to convert the devil himself, if it were possible.
I ask the mormons here....are these accurate prophetic "revealing scriptures"?
Are they misquoted?
Are they just crazy rantings of a mormon prophet?
Are they out of context?
Just when is Young a "good" prophet...and when is he a "bad" prophet?
Yes, they are 150 yrs old. But this guy is a FOUNDING MEMBER of YOUR CHURCH. His name is on ten's of buildings..and a University.
Aren't you guy's ashamed of this man. How can you base much of your religion on him?
And we haven't even started on J. Smith.
Do you refuse to listen. How many times does it take for you to understand that those are not the teachings, nor the beliefs of Mormons. Any Mormon would distant themselves from such a quote. There were never a part of the official teachings of the Church. Do you want me to dig up racist comments from leaders of the Catholic, Lutheran, Baptist, and other Christian churches made 140 years ago? Then I can say, “See this is what they believe in.” Do you realize how dishonest you are being?
