Articles of Faith 1:2 “We believe that men will be punished for their own sins, and not for Adam’s transgression.”
2 Nephi 5:21, 23 And he had caused the cursing to come upon them, yea, even a sore cursing, because of their iniquity. For behold, they had hardened their hearts against him, that they had become like unto a flint; wherefore, as they were white, and exceedingly fair and delightsome, that they might not be enticing unto my people the Lord God did cause a skin of blackness to come upon them. 23 And cursed shall be the seed of him that mixeth with their seed; for they shall be cursed even with the same cursing. And the Lord spake it, and it was done.” [emp. added]
Acts 17:26 “And hath made of one blood all nations of men for to dwell on all the face of the earth, and hath determined the times before appointed, and the bounds of their habitation”.
1 Samuel 16:7 “But the LORD said unto Samuel, Look not on his countenance, or on the height of his stature; because I have refused him: for [the LORD seeth] not as man seeth; for man looketh on the outward appearance, but the LORD looketh on the heart.”
Not only does the Church’s canon and LDS doctrine contradict each other, they have the same track record contradicting God’s word.
We pray that Jesus will open Mormon eyes to see the contradictions in the books they carry to church with them. I remember not realizing the truth was right there at my fingertips for 30 years before I finally got serious about my faith and discovered the lies.
In a loving manner, ask the Mormon you know for their opinion about God’s definition of cursing people by changing the color of their skin.
For more info on how the Mormon god cursed multiple generations, see Lamanites Cursed Until All Gentiles Convert and Galatians 3:26-28 which says there is neither Jew, nor Greek.
