Lineage of Abraham and Mormons

 July 31 — Lineage of Abraham and Mormons. Answers to Gospel Questions 1:85 “…Abraham, Joseph, and Moses married women of their own race, and we need have no worry over our lineage, because we are of that same race.” — Joseph Fielding Smith

Galatians 3:16 “Now to Abraham and his seed were the promises made. He saith not, And to seeds, as of many; but as of one, And to thy seed, which is Christ.”

Actually, Joseph married Asenath, a black Egyptian woman.

She was given to Joseph as a gift from the pharaoh in appreciation for what Joseph had done for Egypt. (Gen. 41:45)

Why are they claiming to be descendants of a Middle Eastern heritage?

Asenath and Joseph had two sons: Manasseh and Ephraim.

Secondly, Mormons are not a race of people so how could they be Egyptian or Hebrew?

Mormons like to claim they’re from the line of Ephraim, but the Tribe of Ephraim was taken into captivity c. BC 722 when Israel’s Northern Kingdom was taken into captivity.

According to records there’s no possible way to track where they are today.

Ask a Mormon you know if they believe Mr. Smith’s claim and let them know you’re praying for them!
