May 10 – 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.”

Ask a Mormon what they think of Mr. Hinckley’s statement. Wouldn’t it mean that he should be disqualified for holding their priesthood because of the oaths he took before they allowed blacks in?

General Conference, ‘The Need for Greater Kindness,’ April 2006 “I remind you that no man who makes disparaging remarks concerning those of another race can consider himself a true disciple of Christ,” said President Hinckley. “How can any man holding the Melchizedek Priesthood arrogantly assume that he is eligible for the priesthood whereas another who lives a righteous life but whose skin is of a different color, is ineligible?” – Gordon B. Hinckley
[…] Prophetic Contradictions Mr. Hinckley stated no one who agreed with racism could hold the priesthood. Before 1978 he agreed with the Church’s racist doctrine and supported the BoM after 1978. […]
The chickens are finally coming home to roost. So many folks leaving the church today because of church history, coverups, contradictions, obvious political agendas, not to mention truths being uncovered about Joe Smith, Brigham Young, Parley Pratt, Joseph F Smith, David O McKay and countless other church “leaders”(?). The church is really running scared now days. They are losing too many members and nobody inside the GA wants to take responsibility for the exodus. Lots of GA talks these days about remaining faithful, not deserting the ship, the] need for more marriages and more kids., not ignoring the “wise”(?) counsel of the General Authorities etc.
It’s quite sad – sad for those who still believe the lies, and for those who don’t dare leave but know the truth. May Jesus have mercy.
I pray what you said, Soldiermp, is true. My Utah-living, LDS-believing daughter and her husband and four children are still gung-ho. I pray, pray, pray daily that someone in her household asks a question….any question about the church. That would be a miracle and I know God can do it!
What the LDS and this clown fail to understand is that biblically NO ONE is eligible for the Melchizedek priesthood. There is only ONE who holds it, and that is Jesus.
