Are blacks no longer the seed of Cain since June 8th, 1978?

Post by _daheshism »

If Living Prophet "A" says that Negroes are the cursed and inferior children of Cain, less valiant in the War in Heaven, and bare the Mark of Cain that is black skin, a flat nose, and kinky hair, then this is Eternal Truth and "Official Church Doctrine".

If Living Prophet "A" dies he becomes a "Dead Prophet". His teachings are no longer Eternal Truth and Official Church Doctrine but subject to re-write and interpretation. His "truths" because "personal opinions".

If LivingProphet "B", who is still alive, says blacks are NOT cursed, never were cursed, and never were the children of Cain, then THAT is Eternal Truth and Official Church Doctrine......until of course he becomes a Dead Prophet, then his "truths" can also be called "personal opinions".

The Church now says that blacks are NOT the children of Cain, never were, were NOT less valiant in the War in Heaven, and were NEVER under ANY divine curse, and in fact the Church NEVER TAUGHT that blacks were cursed or the children of Cain. Some nameless/faceless "Members" may have believed that at one time, but it was never Church Doctrine!

The Church (as usual) is lying.

It was in the Year of 1996 when that doctrine changed.

From LDS President Gordon B. Hinckley's interview with Mike Wallace in 1996:

Mike Wallace: Church policy had it that blacks had the mark of Cain. Brigham Young said, "Cain slew his brother, and the Lord put a mark upon him, which is the flat nose and black skin."

Gordon B. Hinckley: It's behind us. Look, that's behind us. Don't worry about those little flecks [uncertain of that word; can anybody else hear it clearly?] of history.

The Curse of Cain Doctrine was taught in General Conference, in books written by General Authorities, in mission and stake conferences by GAs, from President to Seventy, and in letters written by the First Presidency and signed by all three Members of that quorum. AT NO TIME did they say "in our opinion". IT was called "a doctrine of the Church" many times. Always presented as such.

You will NEVER hear Thommy Monson say "Negroes were never cursed!" He is smart enough NOT to say that.He lets LDS Public Affairs handle all such questions, and they have said since 1996 "The Church NEVER taught that".

Tommy has his underlings lie for him. The smart thing to do. That way, he can say to Jesus: "No Lord, I NEVER denied the Curse ofCain doctrine!" He never did, he just allowed his spokesmen to do so, for decades.
