You should do better research before you talk, specially publicly. You look really really ridiculous for someone who knows the truth. I am an active mormon and so I know what the truth is. Anyway, the time will come when you will EAT, as in EAT all your words. All the words that you puked, you will EAT every bit of it. Trust me. When you do....remember this post.
@ped200014 I understand you are upset by my boldness, in your perspective, arrogance...but that is the truth. He and you will "EAT" your words. Including what you have mentioned here. My motive does not come from revenge or anger. It is actually from concern and reminder.
@ped200014 Time will come, not far too distant, that you will come to realize who is brainwashed and by who. I desire not to contend with you, but to let you know, somehow, that the "Mormons" you so persecute because or our beliefs are really the ones striving to become like Christ. Now your persecution only strengthens our belief and testimony of the truth...well not all of us. There are those who move into the large and spacious building. I will have to work hard not to move in.
Looks like in our election we have the choice to either vote for a Mormon or a Muslim. Either way, it's sacrilegious. Lucifer is tightning his grip on our country.
Brother Manning....i was raised mormon and i wanted to applaud you for the research you have done. Everything u spoke of mormons was 100% correct..needless to say i havent been mormon for 17 years . i am now 35.thank u for educating others.. i believe there is a strong connection to freemasons to mormons due to the aprons both organizations wear. mormons in the temple and when they die they are buried in thier aprons.we all have seen freemasons apron. Peace ,Love and Truth 2 u Brother Manning.
@L00KCLOSER for your information, Brother Mannings information is NOT 100% correct. It is inaccurate. We do allow sisters into the temple even without brethren, as long as they have a temple recommend. Furthermore, sisters can enter into heaven even without a brother. They just have to be obedient and receive all ordinances, just like everyone else. Now to reach THE highest degree of heaven (Celestial Kingdom), the sisters AND brothers do need to be married or sealed in the temple
@LXT1969 EXACTLY..................Women can NOT ENTER the Highest level in YOUR Religion the celestial kingdom WITHOUT A MAN(a male religion like freemasonry) i have read ALL doctrine by MORMONS in seminary in hs . ..i have continued to study the history of Mormonism and i know there is a link between Mormonism and freemasonry...aprons in the temple u wear and are buried in and the secret handshakes are very similar...would u like to explain y ?
@L00KCLOSER NEITHER can a MAN enter the Celestial Kingdom WITHOUT A WOMAN! They cannot enter into the Highest Glory without each other.
Has it ever occurred to you that people who started the freemasonry were also once members, like you, then choose to be lead away, then created things like freemasonry to discredit the truth?
Reading all the Mormon Doctrine means nothing. What you need to do is read just one...The Book of Mormon. But read with the intention to find out if its true.
WHITE PEOPLE HAVE GONE INSANE PASTOR MANNING! THEY SAY WHATS PERVERTED IS RIGHTOUS AND WHATS MORAL AN GODLY IS WRONG!!!! SO, I SHUTTER FOR THE FUTURE OF OUR KIDS.
@tomcat624u I am white and will not call acceptable alternative what my God YHVH calls an abomination., I am not poitically correct but call it as I see it according to God's Word. This Caucasion is not insane and do not appreciate being bundled in with those you talk about anymore than you want to be included in Ghetto Bastards!
But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed. - Galatians 1:8
For if he that comes preaches another Jesus, whom we have not preached, or if you receive another spirit, which you have not received, or another gospel, which you have not accepted, you might well bear with him. - 2 Corinthians 11:4
We now have a warmongering cult leader fighting a warmongering adulterer for the right to replace a warmongering Muslim. The truly amazing thing is that so called "Christians" will line up by the millions to eagerly vote for one of these three men and then wonder why things are going so wrong in our nation.
Obama has'nt done anything for any U.S. citizen.Why do you think he should give black people special treatment anyway? A presidents job is to take care of all people reguardless of color.Obama is a threat to us all.
The Apocrypha are a body of works written between the era of the Old Testament and New Testament. They originate in Alexandria, Egypt and were written by learned Jews and are tainted by Greek philosophy.
As Paul wrote, "Jews seek a sign and Greeks philosophy but we preach the Christ crucified," but to speak well of the Book of Mormon is simply absurd. It's nothing but a cult and should be shunned by true Christians. At the same time, we should remember the parable of the Good Samaritan.
but seriously man you speak of Obama like he murders people daily

2009 Joseph W. Sitati called as a General Authority. He is the first Black African General Authority of the church and the second General Authority of Black African descent. The other was Elder Helvecio Martins from Brazil who served from April 1990 – September 1995 in the Second Quorum of the Seventy. Elder Elijah Abel, an African American, was ordained in 1839 to the Third Quorum of the Seventy. At this time, the title of General Authority was not used as far as we know.
2005 Jackson T. Mkhabela Called as Stake President of the Soweto South African Stake
All previous Stake Presidents in South Africa had been white though there have been black counselors. While there have been black stake presidents in other countries, this is a first for South Africa.
(Read full statement here) … we believe the Negro, as well as those of other races, should have his full Constitutional privileges as a member of society, and we hope that members of the Church everywhere will do their part as citizens to see that these rights are held inviolate. Each citizen must have equal opportunities and protection under the law with reference to civil rights.
1967: Sociologist Armand Mauss Surveys LDS Attitudes about Race
The survey also shows, “among those of urban origin, the LDS ‘Orthodox’ or ‘believers’ were consistently less likely to express anti-Negro attitudes than were the ‘doubters’ of key Church doctrines.” (Neither White nor Black, Bush and Mauss, Signature Books, 1984, pg. 20-23)
1967: Sociologist Armand Mauss Surveys LDS Attitudes about Race
Survey shows that “the Mormons, in spite of their peculiar doctrine on the Negroes, were no more likely to give anti-Negro responses than were the Presbyterians, Episcopalians, Lutherans (whether American or Missouri Synod) or Baptists (whether American or Southern), and furthermore the Mormon respondents were very nearly the same as the Protestant averages.”
964: Dr. A.F. Mensah of Ghana Gives a Book of Mormon to J.W.B. Johnson
J.W.B. Johnson, after reading it and receiving a series of dramatic personal revelations, becomes converted and spends time spreading the gospel among fellow Ghanaians. He forms several “Latter-day Saint” congregations.
1963: Look Magazine Publishes “Memo from a Mormon“
This October article, while not especially favorable to the LDS church, is widely misquoted by anti-Mormons to make it appear that the Church is racist.
Sometime in 1962 a missionary tract, the Joseph Smith Story, found its way into the hands of a black religious leader in Ghana, Dr. A.F. Mensah. He converts several others, sets up a church congregation and corresponds with the Church missionary department.
Under the direction of David O. McKay, Melanesian blacks are defined as from a different linage and not under the priesthood ban. The first Figians receive the priesthood in 1958 while the Negritos of the Philippines were given it earlier. (Armand Mauss, Neither White nor Black, Signature Books, pg. 152)
J. Golden Kimball receives a telegram saying the Ku Klux Klan is going to tar and feather all of the Mormon elders in the county if they don’t immediately leave.
1869: the “Neutral in the Preexistence” Explanation Denied by Brigham Young
When asked “if the spirits of Negroes were neutral in heaven,” Brigham Young answers, “no, they were not, there were no neutral [spirits] in heaven at the time of the rebellion, all took sides…. All spirits are pure that came from the presence of God. (Journal History, 25 December 1869, citing Wilford Woodruff’s journal.)
1867: Deseret Constitution Amended to Extend Rights To All
Brigham Young wrote Thomas Kane in 1869 the Constitution of the State of Deseret had been amended February 4, 1867, to eliminate the words “free, white, male” from voting requirements by a vote of “14,000 for and 30 against.” (October 26, 1869, in Brigham Young papers, LDS Church Archives.)
1854: Brigham Young has Green Flake Freed from Slavery
Green Flake is a slave of a Southerner who converted to the Church. Flake eventually dies a faithful Mormon in Idaho Falls, Idaho. In Idaho, Green is known as “the best damn missionary we have” (words of Oz Call).
1844: Joseph Smith Runs for President On an anti-slavery platform.
“[We] hold[s] these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal;…but at the same time some two or three millions of people are held as slaves for life, because the spirit in them is covered with a darker skin than ours.”
Joseph proposes the sale of public lands to pay for the release of every slave and to abolish slavery by 1850.
Green is the slave of James Madison Flake, a convert to the LDS Church. At the age of 15 Green is baptized, but remains a slave. Green remains a faithful member of the Church throughout his life.
Blacks have souls (an item that others didn’t necessarily believe) and that they are a product of their environment. Given an equal environment they would be on the same level as whites.
1842: Joseph Smith Writes in His Personal Journal that Slaves Should be Set Free
He writes that the slaves owned by Mormons should be brought “into a free country and set …free– Educate them and give them equal rights.” [30 Dec. 1842 Joseph Smith Journal as quoted in Neither White Nor Black, Bush and Mauss (Signature Books, 1984), p. 62]
1836: Nondiscriminatory Rules Published for Governing the Temple in Kirtland
The rules provided for “old or young, rich or poor, male or female, bond or free, black or white, believer or unbeliever…” (History of the Church 2: 368-69)
In December of 1836 Elijah is ordained a Seventy by Zebedee Coltrin. He also becomes a “duly licensed minister of the Gospel” for missionary work in Ohio. (Minutes of the Seventies Journal, December 20, 1836)
In March of 1836, Elijah Abel (first black Mormon) is given the priesthood and ordained to the office of Elder. This is reportedly done by Joseph Smith himself.
1998: James Landrith denied admission to Bob Jones University
Landrith was denied admission because he was married to an African American woman. A letter from the university explained that “God has separated people for His own purpose” and that the university “is opposed to intermarriage of the races because it breaks down the barriers God has established.” [Stephen R. Haynes, Noah's Curse (Oxford University Press, 2002), 3-4.]
1995 Southern Baptists Apologize for their Racist Past.On June 20, 1995, the Southern Baptist Convention adopted a resolution apologizing for their racist roots and their past defenses of slavery. The SBC was founded in 1845 because the main body of Baptists wouldn’t appoint missionaries who were slaveholders.
1873: Pope Pius IX Prays that God Remove the Curse of Ham.
Pope Pius IX is concerned about the “wretched Ethiopians in Central Africa.” He prays that “Almighty God may at length remove the curse of Cham [Ham] from their hearts.” God’s curse on Ham is that the Canaanite people would be forever enslaved. Some theologians had long used this Biblical passage to justify enslavement of Africans. (The Raccolta: Or, Collection of Prayers and Good Works)
1861: Presbyterian Church Splits Over Slavery Issue
The Presbyterian Church in the United States of America splits and the Presbyterian Church in the Confederate States is formed in the south. They later rename themselves the Presbyterian Church in the United States.
The American Baptist Missionary Union, (now the American Baptist Convention) split over slavery and the Southern Baptist Convention is formed. It remains a separate convention to this day.
“In 1843, 1,200 Methodist ministers owned 1,500 slaves, and 25,000 members owned 208,000 slaves…the Methodist Church as a whole remained silent and neutral on the issue of slavery.” (Slavery and Religion in America: A time line 1440 – 1866)
Southern delegates to the Triennial Convention of the American Baptist Foreign Mission Board “protested the abolitionist agitation and argued that, while slavery was a calamity and a great evil, it was not a sin according to the Bible.” [J.G. Melton, The Encyclopedia of American Religions, Volume I, Triumph Books, (1991), Volume II, Page 5.]
Your full of bullshit. You don't know a damn thing about the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints!! LOL Black people have always been welcome as members of the LDS church! Every 2 seconds he says something false!! Please don't be a religious bigot spreading lies!
DR.Manning, couldn't agree with you more. Mormonism is a lie. Could you someday speak to another cult called the "Faith movement". Was once caught up in it as newborn Christian. Please, a word from the Lord, not just for me, but all those blinded by the likes of Osteen, Roberts and Hagin.
ok go ahead then and vote for Obama...he'll have you praying 5x a day to mecca next term.....ROMNEY, DAFFY DUCK, ANYBODY BUT BARRY 2012...I'D MUCH RATHER HAVE A MORMON THAN THE DEVIL THAT'S IN THERE NOW....AT LEAST WE'D HAVE A JOB!!
i would rather have a religion of the Garfield comic of the orange cat than that false religion called mormon... what a terrible racist tradition they have in utah
I am "Mormon" and I am a female and I go to the temple by myself a lot.
Mitt Romney is NOT a General Authority in our church. He WAS a local leader in Boston. But he does not make policy or doctrine at all.
The Book of Mormon is a testament of Jesus Christ.
There have always been blacks, and other people of color, in our church.
