white skin a mark?

[_MCB]

Maybe white skin didn't exist before Adam?

Disease did not exist before Adam, ergo, white skin did not exist before Adam.
or, an alternate view, those who participated in relations with the nephilim (Neanderthals) had, as punishment, children with white skin.

Face it, Fence Sitter, you just don't have the intellectual and philosophical rigor to deal with deep truths like this.

lol

The awkward moment when you read "thrusts" rather than "truths."

Then how do you explain what Elohim looks like? Huh? He had a resurrected body with righteous Scandinavian features and white skin before Adam!

Reminds me of this quote

If oxen and lions had hands and could paint with their hands and produce works of art, as men do, horses would paint the forms of the gods likes horses and oxen like oxen. Each would represent them with bodies according to the bodies of each. So the Ethiopians make their gods black and snub-nosed; the Thracians give theirs red hair and blue eyes. -Xenophanes

Just because people have the license to portray Jesus as looking like them, does not mean that Jesus actually looked like them. Jesus was Jewish, and the Jews, living where they did, were a very mixed-race group of people. We know that he did not look like an Asian, a sub-Saharan African, or a Scandinavian.

My Tongan BIL jokes on Facebook about his "curse" from time to time. One time, I tried telling him that it was more likely God cursed white folks and the ancients were jealous so they put black curse rhetoric in the scriptures (i.e. Book of Mormon).

Not far from the truth.

Racial characteristics are not my field. I am researching a paper on the invention of the ladder. It appears to be a northern European invention which did not make its way to the southern hemisphere until around the time of Egyptus who apparently outlawed their use in Egypt, deeming them not to be child safe. Currently I am in the process of translating some upside down hieratic writing on some papyri fragments that fell into my possession. They appear right next to a hieroglyph of a ladder on its side and a black slave lying prone as if he were injured. So far all I have is "Do Not Stand or crap" though the last word is not clear.

I had a mission companion who happened to be this short, fairly dark-skinned, kind of Bolivian looking guy. When we got to the part in our little flip books that had the photo of Jesus, he made a point of emphasizing that this was in fact exactly what Jesus really looked like. People would usually argue with us along the lines you do here, but he emphasized that we have apostles who have really seen Jesus, and this painting was done with the inspiration of the priesthood, and that the people who hang out with Jesus confirmed that the painting was correct.

This was an important part of his testimony. I found it weird, and a little sad.

VERY sad.

I am reading Barbara Wood's "Green City in the Sun" Progressively, as the Kenyans became Christian, they moved from hope that becoming Christian would make them white, to portraying Jesus as black.

Considering that the Mormon God is a Scandinavian

A Geat in particular. Frisians, Danes, Swedes, and Franks are cursed.
lol

But on the flip side, I have proposed, in Church on several occasions, that God might be black as that is certainly possible in our doctrine.
