Nephites: Very White and Highly Intelligent Mormon Dilemma 361

Nephites: Very White and Highly Intelligent

The Juvenile Instructor, No 11, Vol. 1, p. 43 “The Nephites, on the contrary, were a very industrious, peaceable people…They were also a very white and beautiful and highly intellectual and cultivated people…After this there were none but Lamanites left, and the present American Indians are their descendants.” – Salt Lake City, June 1, 1866

 Matthew 23:12 “And whosoever shall exalt himself shall be abased; and he that shall humble himself shall be exalted.”

As an FYI, the LDS reference above was written by their apostle George Quayle Cannon.

Today we’re wondering…

Where in the Bible does it say being white means you’re highly intelligent, or very beautiful?

For the record: Jews are from the Middle East and are not Caucasian.

Although the Church has tried to come across as non-racist in recent years, their canon tells a different story.

I’ve often wondered what my black Welsh grandmother thought of their doctrines once she got to the States after she converted in Wales.

Pray for LDS members to see the truth in the many contradictions!
