WHITE INDIANS?
Joseph Smith falsely taught that good Indians turn white. When he dug up an Indian burial mound, he said, "I discovered the person whose skeleton was before us was a white Lamanite, a large, thick-set man, and a man of God." (History of the Church, June 3, 1834, 2:79-80)
Mormon "scripture" is about dark-skinned evil savages, beautiful whites, and changing colors! It calls Indians "Lamanites". (See Book of Mormon introduction or Doc & Cov 3:18-20; 19:27; 28:8; 32:2-3; 54:8; & 57)
WHITE IS BEAUTIFUL
1 Nephi 11:13 "...she was exceedingly fair and white."
Mormon 5:17 "They were once a delightsome people..."
3 Nephi 19:25 & 30 "...they were as white as the countenance and also the garments of Jesus; and behold the whiteness thereof did exceed all the whiteness...nothing upon earth so white as the whiteness thereof...they were white, even as Jesus."
A blue-eyed European-looking Jesus is not the Jesus of the Bible.
DARK SKIN IS EVIL
1 Nephi 12:23 Indians are ".dark, and loathsome, and a filthy people, full of idleness and all manner of abominations". Joseph Smith held them in contempt. (Joseph Smith, History of the Church, Vol. 5, pp.218-219)
GOOD INDIANS TURN WHITE
1 Nephi 13:15 "...they were white, and exceedingly fair and beautiful, likeunto my people [Nephites] before they were slain."
2 Nephi 30:6 "...scales of darkness shall begin to fall...they shall be a white and delightsome people." (changed to "pure" and "delightsome" in 1981) Check the cross-references. (5:21; 3 Nephi 2:15; Jacob 3:8)
The story says the Indians were Hebrews. Never! Get the ”DNA and the Book of Mormon” DVD at our bookstore.
Jacob 3:8-9 "...their skins will be whiter than yours...revile no more against them because of the darkness of their skins..."
Alma 23:18 "...[Lamanites] did open a correspondence with them [Nephites]and the curse of God did no more follow them."
3 Nephi 2:14-16 "...Lamanites who had united with the Nephites werenumbered among the Nephites; And their curse was taken from them, and their skin became white like unto the Nephites...became exceedingly fair..."
The claim of Mormon Indians turning white is why a Mormon LDS prophet reported to the Mormons, "I saw a striking contrast in the progress of the Indian people today...they are fast becoming a white and delightsome people...The children in the home placement program in Utah are often lighter than their brothers and sisters on the reservation." (Spencer W. Kimball, Conf. Report, Oct. 1960, p.34)
Do you know any white LDS Indians?
WICKED PEOPLE GET DARK SKIN
2 Nephi 5:21 "...a sore cursing...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."
Jacob 3:5 "...whom ye hate because of their filthiness and the cursingwhich hath come upon their skins..." (Lamanites cursed)
Alma 3:6 "...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..." That is just another insult!
Mormon 5:15 "...shall become a dark, a filthy, and a loathsome people,beyond the description of that which ever hath been amongst us..." (Prophecy about Lamanites) Brigham Young claimed anyone leaving the LDS would become physically "gray-haired, wrinkled, and black, just like the Devil." (Journal of Discourses 5:332)
CURSES FROM MARRYING INDIANS
Alma 3:8 "...that their seed might be distinguished from the seed of Their brethren...that they might not mix..."
Alma 3:9 "...whosoever did mingle his seed with that of the Lamanites Did bring the same curse upon his seed." Mix-blood people are cursed!
Alma 3:14 "Behold, the Lamanites have I cursed, and I will set a mark On them that they and their seed may be separated from thee and thy seed, from this time henceforth and forever, except they repent..."
Alma 3:19 "...brought upon themselves the curse..."
The truth is that Dark skin is beautiful. It is not cursed!
The Pearl of Great Price claims:
Moses 7:12 "...Enoch continued to call upon all the people, save it were the people of Canaan, to repent..." Obviously evil people!Moses
7:22 "...for the seed of Cain were black and had not place among them."
Abraham 1:21 & 27 "...king of Egypt was a descendant from the loins of Ham,and was a partaker of the blood of the Canaanites by birth...Pharaoh being of that lineage by which he could not have the right of Priesthood..."
Joseph Smith Translation claims:
The LDS church is embarrassed of the JST, but the RLDS (now "Community of Christ") prints it. None of the JST is supported by Bible manuscripts or >the Septuagint that Jesus used. In a long passage of verses added to the Bible, Joseph Smith had this to say about skin:
Genesis 7:10, 14, 29 "And there was a blackness came upon all the children of Cainan, that they were despised among all people.And it came to pass, that Enoch continued to call upon all the people, save it were the people of Cainan, to repent.for the seed of Cain were black, and had not place among them." Dark skin is despised.
Genesis 9:30 ".and Canaan shall be his servant, and a veil of darknessshall cover him, that he shall be known among all men."
Racism dates back to the very founder of Mormonism, Joseph Smith.
"this dark race was separated and isolated from all the rest of Adam's posterity before the flood, and since that time the same condition has continued, 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...we all know it is due to his teachings that the Negro today is barred from the Priesthood." (The Way to Perfection, pp. 110-111).
"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." (Joseph Smith, History of the Church, Vol. 5, pp. 218-219)
True Scripture, the Bible says:
Isaiah 43:25 "I, even I, am he that blotteth out thy transgressions formine own sake, and will not remember thy sins." God has nothing to say about sins of pre-existence or any curse of dark skin. Past sins have nothing to do with what we receive when we trust in the Lord.
Acts 10:34-36 "God is no respecter of persons: But in every nation he that feareth him, and worketh righteousness, is accepted by him."
Romans 3:22-24 "Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference: for all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus." Jesus died to save any race!
1 Peter 1:17 "And if ye call on the Father, who without respect of personsjudgeth." The Gods of Mormonism indiscriminately favor whites but the true God is never partial!
Revelation 7:9 " a great multitude, which no man could number, of allnations, and kindreds, and people, and tongues, stood before the throne..." God embraces every race as equals as it will be in Heaven for believers.
The only Indian who was serving as a General Authority in the LDS church exposed a deeply vile racism! George P. Lee, a Navajo warned, "You are slowly causing a ...spiritual slaughter" promoting "white supremacy." (The Provo Daily Herald, Sep. 3, 1989).
The Bible challenges you to see if you are in the right faith or you will be rejected by God. "Examine yourselves, whether ye be in the faith; prove your own selves. Know ye not your own selves, how that Jesus Christ is in you, except ye be reprobates?" (2 Cor. 13:5)
There is nothing to gain by just taking your chances and there is everything to lose by failing God's test. Is Jesus Christ in you? Will you trust the One who died for you and arose?
