October 11 — America Redeemed by Shedding of Blood. Galatians 3:13 “Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree.”

The LDS Church has refused to believe the Bible has been translated correctly, but has no problem believing the US Constitution has been. Examples: AoF 8, and how Joe Smith taught Jesus paid for sins at Gethsemane – D&C 19:18. Today we see how one of their apostles stated the founding fathers were inspired of God. It’s a shame they don’t afford the same belief for God’s word which is actually God’s breath on paper.
Furthermore, how is it that America was redeemed by the shedding of blood, but not man?

General Conference, ‘Hearts Knit in Righteousness and Unity’, October 2020 “In our doctrine we believe that in the host country for the Restoration, the United States, the U.S. Constitution and related documents, written by imperfect men, were inspired by God to bless all people.
As we read in the Doctrine and Covenants, these documents were “established, and should be maintained for the rights and protection of all flesh, according to just and holy principles.” … The Lord declared:
Doctrine and Covenants 101:79–80 “Therefore, it is not right that any man should be in bondage one to another. 80 And for this purpose have I established the Constitution of this land, by the hands of wise men whom I raised up unto this very purpose, and redeemed the land by the shedding of blood.” — Quentin L. Cook
Mr Cook has apparently been infected by the political correctness virus. How is the church going to explain away the teachings and writings of it’s church prophets, regarding racial equality? I am sure that the GA’a are currently formulating a whole series of excuses, denials, accusations of slander by non church members etc, to cover up its questionable and less than honorable history.
