June 5 — Racist Doctrine Still Evident with Joseph Smith’s Prophecies. Matthew 28:19 “Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.”

Although the Church has busied itself with announcing they abhor racism, the truth belies their true self. Throughout their BoM we’ve seen how racism is still couched within its narrative. In the LDS reference below, we see how their founder taught they should withhold the gospel from black slaves.
Since they’ve not removed, nor denounced this doctrine, we can only surmise they still believe Joseph Smith’s prophecies were true.
Their doctrine goes against everything the Lord told us to do! How can Jesus’ gospel be true in 2020, but not in 1830?

Doctrine and Covenants 134:12 “We believe it just to preach the gospel to the nations of the earth, and warn the righteous to save themselves from the corruption of the world; but we do not believe it right to interfere with bond-servants, neither preach the gospel to, nor baptize them contrary to the will and wish of their masters, nor to meddle with or influence them in the least to cause them to be dissatisfied with their situations in this life, thereby jeopardizing the lives of men; such interference we believe to be unlawful and unjust, and dangerous to the peace of every government allowing human beings to be held in servitude.”
[…] Racist Doctrine Still Evident with Joseph Smith’s Prophecies D&C 134:12 still tells members not to share gospel with black slaves. […]
“Had I anything to do with the negro, I would confine them by strict laws to their own species, and put them on a national equalization.”
