ok. from the top.

When it came to the subject of who gets to rule earth. It came down to Jesus or Lucifer.

those who sided with Jesus, were white.

those who sided with Lucifer, became demons.

and THOSE who were undecided were cursed to be born with black skin.

that is the Mormon explanation of black

*Stands in stunned silence* I don't know who's butt that explanation came out of, but I know that it's not true. That's like saying that those who were righteous were born here in the US and the sinners were born over in Asia. Not true.

That was what was told to me by a former mormon man who was forced to divorce his wife because the mormon church frowned on being married to a non mormon.

so...what IS the true origin of black people according to the Mormons?

We force no one to get a divorce and thus he is lying.

Biblical studies show that the seed of Cain were cursed with a curse of dark skin, as well as the Lamanites (found in the Book of Mormon) were also cursed with dark skin to tell them apart from the Nephites, those that were righteous.

And now we see why most Bible-wankers detest evolution: it rejects this theory outright.

EDIT: As for the same set of scriptures issue, I wasn't talking about Catholicism, but all the differect christian sects that use different bibles.

The LDS Church IS, IS, IS a Christian sect. They use the KJV of the Bible and The Book of Mormon, and Doctrine and Covenants. (Maybe the Pearl of Great Price? I'm not 100% sure. My Mom just carries it in her church bag.) They use the same scriptures in the way that a Catholic uses the same scriptures as another Catholic.
So, your point is kind of retarded. Of course Mormons use the same scriptures as other Mormons, they're Mormons!

My best friends dad went as a Mormon missionary for Halloween and got wasted. haha.

Way to take it out of the context of the post I was replying to. You do have a point, though, and it is worth noting that most christians do not consider Mormonism to be a christian sect, their worship of christ notwithstanding.

On the non-profit issue: If the mormon church turns a profit, it does so no more than ANY other church. You think Catholics just made Vatican City happen with smiles and prayers? How much money do you think goes into the daily upkeep of just a small part of that place?

Biblical studies show that the seed of Cain were cursed with a curse of dark skin, as well as the Lamanites (found in the Book of Mormon) were also cursed with dark skin to tell them apart from the Nephites, those that were righteous. Nowadays this does not hold true. We are actually told in the Book of Mormon not to be racist, and we actually have hundreds of black and brown skin-toned congregations. I have actually worked with and baptized several of the latin community. We have been informed that the Curse of Cain and of the Lamanites are of no effect, if that were so, then there would be a lot of very horrible black people and millions of the world would be white, I include many of the people in this forum and I mean no disrespect.

This is unfounded. It is strictly a belief of the LDS as far as I know. Does anyone have a source from some KKK/White Southern Baptist who also possibly believes this? I would like to see a source for my own knowledge.

Take your blaspheming and scatter abroad! To outer darkness with you! gonk

Nonsense, outer darkness certainly isn't intended for such minor offenses.

Blasphemy is entirely subjective. I have defended the mormon church as only normal-religious-crazy, not evil-crazy, but even so, I am entirely an atheist, and a little humor at the expense of the church hurts nobody.

I've known real missionaries who drank on their missions, and even have a friend who smoked pot with a pair of em.

How did I take it out of context? You said "Mormon's use the same scriptures" they do, because they're all Mormon, just like Catholics use the same scriptures, cause they're all Catholic.
I also don't think that Protestant's are Christians, their worship of Christ notwithstanding. neutral
It's not worth noting that other sects dislike Mormonism. Other sects dislike each other. They follow Christ. They follow the Bible. They're Christian. Other sects do not have the say on what sect is Christian or not, or else the only Christians would be Catholics.
