BLACK Africans Cursed BLACK in HEAVEN & return to HEAVEN AS SLAVES!

Think of the Negro, cursed as to the priesthood... This Negro, who in the pre-existence lived the type of life which justified the Lord in sending him to the earth in the lineage of Cain with a black skin, and possibly being born in darkest Africa--If that Negro is faithful all his days, he can and will enter the celestial kingdom. He will go there as a SERVANT,(LDS APOSTLE Mark E. Petersen BYU, Provo,Utah, August 27,1954)


This teaches LDS Mormons that the king of Egypt (a Black African) is of the seed of CAIN and HAM by birth

21 Now this king of Egypt was a descendant from the loins of Ham, and was a partaker of the blood of the Canaanites by birth.

This teaches LDS Mormons that the king of Egypt (a Black African) can't have the priesthood because he is of the seed of CAIN and HAM

27 Now, Pharaoh being of that lineage by which he could not have the right of Priesthood
(Pearl of Great Price Abraham1:21-27)



LDS Mormons Believe The seed of Cain and Ham are the Africans who where Cursed Black in the LDS Mormon Pearl of great Price Scriptures (This is not in the HOLY BIBLE)

". . . there was a blackness came upon all the children of Canaan, that they were despised among all people . . . (Pearl of Great Price Moses 7:8)."

"And . . . they were a mixture of all the seed of Adam save it was the seed of Cain, for the seed of Cain were black, and had not place among them (Pearl of Great Price Moses 7:22)."




This teaches all LDS Mormons that Black skin is a CURSE FROM the Mormon GOD (THIS IS NOT IN THE HOLY BIBLE)

"...cursing to come upon them, yea, even a sore cursing...the Lord God did cause a skin of BLACKNESS to come upon them (Book of Mormon 2 Nephi 5:21)"

"And the skins..were DARK,according to the MARK which was set upon their fathers..which WAS A CURSE upon them...(Book of Mormon,Alma 3:6)"

"and the CURSING which hath come upon their skins...(Book of Mormon, Jacob 3:5)"




This teaches Mormons that Cain (Who Mormons Believe is the BLACK AFRICAN MAN) Loved Satan more then God and made oaths and covenants with Satan (This is not in the Holy Bible)

Moses 5:28-31 pearl of great price OFFICIAL LDS Mormon scriptures

28...they loved Satan more than God.29 And Satan said unto Cain: Swear unto me by thy throat,30 And Satan sware unto Cain that he would do according to his commands.31 And Cain said:Truly I am Mahan,the master of this great secret...

1947 the First Presidency (supreme council) of the Church issued an Official Statement: "From the days of the Prophet Joseph Smith even until now, it has been the doctrine of the Church, never questioned by Church leaders, that the Negroes are not entitled to the full blessings of the Gospel." (Statement of The First Presidency on the Negro Question, July 17 1947, quoted in Mormonism and the Negro, pp.46-7)

In 1949, The First Presidency issued the following statement: "The attitude of the Church with reference to Negroes remains as it has always stood. It is not a matter of the declaration of a policy but of direct commandment from the Lord, on which is founded the doctrine of the Church from the days of its organization, to the effect that Negroes may become members of the Church but that they are not entitled to the priesthood at the present time." (The First Presidency on the Negro Question, 17 Aug. 1949)


Official Statement of First Presidency issued on August 17, 1951, reads: "The position of the Church regarding the Negro may be understood when another doctrine of the church is kept in mind, namely, that the conduct of spirits in the pre-mortal existence has some determining effect upon the conditions and circumstances under which these spirits take on mortality, and that while the details of this principle have not been made known, the principle itself indicates that the coming to this earth and taking on mortality is a privilege that is given to those who maintained their first estate; and that the worth of the privilege is so great that spirits are willing to come to earth and take on bodies no matter what the handicap may be as to the kind of bodies they are to secure; and that among the handicaps, failure of the right to enjoy in mortality the blessings of the priesthood is a handicap which spirits are willing to assume in order that they might come to earth. Under this principle there is no injustice whatsoever involved in this deprivation as to the holding of the priesthood by the Negroes...

  1. Nice that all the LDS quotes are from the 1950s.

    Got anything more recent?

    Or should we start quoting Adolph Hitler to show what modern Germans believe as well?

    If you read the Book of Mormon carefully, the passages in question never really state that dark skin is a sign of God's disfavor. The skin color seems like almost an incidental flag that was put up in this one instance, but is not universally applicable everywhere.

    In fact, the "cursed" group of people eventually become more righteous and favored than the others. This seems to pretty clearly indicate that God really doesn't care what your skin color is when he is judging merit.

    Old racist quotes from Mormon leaders about the "Curse of Ham" or "Mark of Cain" were borrowed from racist Protestants (back when they tried to justify slavery and segregation). They are a misreading of both the Bible and the Book of Mormon. They are no longer held, taught, or believed by the Mormon Church.

    That Bill Maher is still trying to make hay from this simply demonstrates his poor grasp of the subject he is talking about.
