BoM Believers Turned White

 July 30 — BoM Believers Turned White. 3 Nephi 19:25 “And it came to pass that Jesus blessed them as they did pray unto him; and his countenance did smile upon them, and the light of his countenance did shine upon them, and behold they were as white as the countenance and also the garments of Jesus; and behold the whiteness thereof did exceed all the whiteness, yea, even there could be nothing upon earth so white as the whiteness thereof.”

Acts 10:34-35 “Then Peter opened his mouth, and said, Of a truth I perceive that God is no respecter of persons: 35 But in every nation he that feareth him, and worketh righteousness, is accepted with him.”

Does the BoM reference above sound inspired to you?

Thank you, Jesus, that you got me out of Mormonism just as you did for Jonah when he came out of that whale. My prideful heart kept me enslaved to sin much longer than I should’ve been.

Speaking of slavery, did you know slavery wasn’t based upon skin color until c. 400 AD? Until that time it was based upon the god you worshiped not your skin color.

Man was the instigator of racism, not God. The BoM has shown it’s the work of a prejudiced man and the Church has carried on their racist views even today. You can read the 27 verses in the article, Book of Mormon Racist Teachings.

In spite of what the Church has embraced, the theme throughout the Bible is consistently in direct opposition of racist ideologies.

The list below is a small sample of what the Lord has said about judging others based on skin color.

Gen. 1:27 Leviticus 19:33-34 Deuteronomy 10:17 1 Samuel 16:7
2 Chr. 19:6-7 Proverbs 24:23 Malachi 2:10 Matthew 28:19
Mark 12:31 John 7:24 John 13:43

John 13:35

Acts 17:26; Acts 15:9; Romans 2:11; Romans 3:22; Romans 10:12-13;
Romans 12:3; 1 Corinthians 12:13; Galatians 3:28; Ephesians 2:14-15; Ephesians 6:9; Philippians 2:3-4; Colossians 3:11; 1 Timothy 5:21; James 2:1-4; James 2:8-9; 1 John 2:2; 1 John 3:15-16; 1 John 4:19-21; Revelation 5:9-10; Revelation 7:9; Revelation 14:6.

 

 

When you have the opportunity share this info with the Mormon in your life! When I was Mormon a Christian showed me how the Bible is filled with verses where God only looks at the heart of man and not the outer appearance.

It had an immediate impact on how I perceived myself. I’m not exactly white and delightsome as the BoM says.

Pray for Mormons to turn to Jesus and forget about the racist canon their church embraces!

With Love in Christ —
