The FLDS Mormons follow closer to the teachings of Joseph Smith & Brigham Young, then the "watered-down" mainstream LDS Mormons do. The LDS god changed his mind about blacks joining the priesthood around the civil rights era. He changed his mind again about polygamy, the so-called "new and everlasting covenant of plural marriage" only after the Utah territory was denied statehood twice, due to polygamy. How convenient for the LDS Mormons to have a god who allows U.S. laws to supercede his own.
"Negroes in this life are denied the Priesthood; under no circumstances can they hold this delegation of authority from the Almighty. (Abra. 1:20-27.)...In the Video Clip above you will learn about the changing god of Mormonism. The goal is to teach History of a changing Religion. To see what the Foundations of Mormonism are. To be informed as to what the Early LDS Prophets believed and taught. Namely Brigham and Joseph.
The gospel message of salvation is not carried affirmatively to them... negroes are not equal with other races where the receipt of certain spiritual blessings are concerned, particularly the priesthood and the temple blessings that flow therefrom, but this inequality is not of man's origin. It is the Lord's doing, is based an his eternal laws of justice, and grows out of the lack of Spiritual valiance of those concerned in their first estate." ..SOURCE...(Mormon Doctrine, 1966, pp. 527-528)
Brigham Young taught a much greater extreme. In a sermon given on March 8, 1863, Young stated, "Shall I tell you the law of God in regard to the African race? If the white man who belongs to the chosen seed mixes his blood with the seed of Cain, the penalty, under the law of God, is death on the spot. This will always be so" (Journal of Discourses, 10:110)....ALWAYS BE SO?....Anyone else find this teaching disturbing?
Smith also stated that "there is a reason why one man is born black and with other disadvantages, while another is born white with great advantages. The reason is that we once had an estate before we came here, and were obedient; more or less, to the laws that were given us there. Those who were faithful in all things there received greater blessings here, and those who were not faithful received less" (Doctrines of Salvation 1:61).
On December 3, 1854, Brigham Young said, "When all the other children of Adam have had the privilege of receiving the Priesthood, and of coming into the kingdom of God, and of being redeemed from the four quarters of the earth, and have received their resurrection from the dead, then it will be time enough to remove the curse from Cain and his posterity" (Journal of Discourses 2:143).
