BRANCH1:Ans'r continuation RE:Blacks, Racism & Mormon Doc P1

Pt 1 of ?
If you haven't seen the previous "TRUNK" portion of this multi-"BRANCHED" series please see that first.

This particular "BRANCH" addresses the overall themes of race and the ban, and relinquishment of that ban, with regard to the LDS/Mormon Church and its priesthood and temple ordinances and how all these things relate to the actual doctrines of the LDS/Mormon faith.

The closest I got to BYU was the MTC. I have had correspondent with the Geology department and I know they teach Millions of year as one would hope. They also teach that a Global flood is a myth which I found encouraging.

So how do you work pre-Adamites into the fall? Are we not all the posterity of Adam? I have always had my doubts.

WTF

""Biblical man"?!! is there any other kind?"

you must not have taken evolution at BYU?

[rd1999]

"Biblical man"?!! is there any other kind?

[omiolo]

first of all

"God did it or tens of thousands of years"

I don't know if God did it or if man did it to themselves. Or even if they started eating some plant root that blocked vesiscle function. there are too many unknowns to be exact.

I really don't think we can say that man started 6K years ago. It looks like Biblical man started 6K years ago though.

Our genetic understanding is still "ambigious at best".

[rd1999]

so are you saying God did it or tens of thousands of years did it over the natural process of adapting to a new environment and that all humans having evolved in Africa and moving out to other climes with less light developed lighter skin as an adaptation as logic would dictate there for making us all the product of Black me rather than the a White man, Adam 6K year ago.

rd1999,

skin color is determined by how fast your intracellular vacuoles can digest pigmentation. It really is that simple.

[rd1999]

I would never limit God to anything. Logic and the evidence however dictates a different story and I would never turn my back on that due to something that may be misinterpreted. The Church still hold to all the continents dividing in the days of Peleg four generation after Noah that has to be less than 4.5K years ago it is just nutty to believe that.

[rd1999]

I believe they and their group could have been change to black skin but get this as we are studying the Book of Mormon this year when I brought up this point that they are said to have become like unto flint = black our Sunday school teacher said you think that means black, I take that to mean they were hard. More PC crap in the Church.

"And I said unto them: If God had commanded me to do all things I could do them. If he should command me that I should say unto this water, be thou earth, it should be earth; and if I should say it, it would be done."

Do you believe this?
