@JediMormon Brigham Young also would not allow Elijah Abel (a black Saint who was ordained by the prophet Joseph Smith, Jr. & later ordained a Seventy by Zebedee Coltrin) to be sealed to his wife. B.Y. would not permit it. That was a day where the LDS Church took about 3 steps backward & it took over 130 years to finally correct the mistake. God does allow leaders to make mistakes. It would truly help the Church if it only would admit those mistakes and not try to sweep them under the rug.

@JediMormon Also Jedi, Brigham Young made a dumb mistake based on his own racist worldview (very common at the time) about Walker Lewis' (a black priesthood bearing Latter-day Saint) son marrying a white woman in Massachusetts (a very progressive state even during Brigham Young's time). Brigham Young became incensed about this interracial marriage and he feared that these interracial marriages between whites and blacks would eventually make their way to the temple and he would not allow that.

@JediMormon It was a doctrine at one time that was taught. I studied LDS History at BYU and at Rick's College. Brigham Young, though a prophet of God was not God and made mistakes. You see what too many Latter-day Saints can't get through their thick skulls is the fact that prophets cane make mistakes and they can make dumb ones. Just look at the Bible. Moses made some really stupid mistakes yet God continued to work with him.

Too bad Mitt Romney doesn't take this teachers advice. I've never seen a politician running for the office of Pres. of the U.S. tell such outrageous lies as he does. Mitt's lies just keep going on and on. It's really sad and shameful.

@trumpetboy262 In other words Brigham Young detested interracial marriage between a white person and a black person. That's the fact that started this whole process and it didn't end until 1978 when finally someone had the strength to question the tradition that had become a policy and that was Spencer W. Kimball.

@trumpetboy262 Where in the hell did you get that crap history from? Sorry but there was more than one black man of African descent who was ordained to the Priesthood under the leadership of Joseph Smith, Jr. the prophet. Elijah Abel was one and Walker Lewis was another. After Joseph's death Brigham Young started the practice of keeping black men of African descent from receiving the LDS Priesthood because of a marriage between Walker Lewis' son and a white woman got Brigham infuriated.

@trumpetboy262

You're so accepting of people's innate sin - - i'm going to go sign up, and hand my daughter over right away! !! !

[trumpetboy262]

@RexisAZero Actually, that is what people see are incorrect. Fallen people will forever live in Hell (outer darkness as we call it) and shall live with the Devil. Blacks (I think this word is generally informal) are decendents of Cain. Cain was the only one who was cursed, he just passed on the color of his skin to signify, that in the times of old, they weren't allowed to get the birthright (preisthood, 1/4 + another forth, ect.) because of their ancesters. Blacks can now have the preisthood.

i thought the blacks were 'fallen' people, according to the LDS?
