Why are people born black or born white? Does Nelson know?

Post by _Infymus »

Nelson brings his uneducated and logic-deprived self to the podium at about 28:30.

God is the father of our spirits. He has a glorified, perfected body of flesh and bone. We lived with him in heaven before we were born. And when he created us physically, we were created in the image of god, each with a personal body.


What color is God's perfected body?

Why are some people born white and some born black?

We know what past Prophets and Apostles of the one true cult have said in the past.

What does Nelson believe now?

He probably doesn't know.

The body of "Flesh and bone" eh? Do Mormons still believe that God doesn't have any blood in his body? The rest of Christianity doesn't believe that God once walked an earth, paid his tithing and became a God, created his own planet ( er, maybe not, well, they don't know now ) had lots of babies ( no mention of Celestial polygamy ). Oh and yeah, God's body got drained of blood and now he's just flesh and bone.

You could add to that, are men born in His image, or are women? Or indeed, are both, in which case we need to be clear about what 'in His image' means when it comes to the componant parts of a body...
