September 27 — Is God a White Man? Juvenile Instructor, Vol. 3, No. 20, p. 157 “We understand that when God made man in his own image and pronounced him very good, that he made him white.” – George Q. Cannon, October 15, 1868

Gal. 3:28 “There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus.”
Genesis 2:7 “And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.”
Revelation 4:11 “Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power: for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created.”

Because Adam’s name means red and he was made from the earth I would venture to say he probably wasn’t white…all things are possible with God, but confusion isn’t one of them.
Furthermore, when the Bible states that God made man in His own image this doesn’t mean God is a man. This phrase is an allegory. The verse in the Bible says, “So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.” – Genesis 1:27
Since Jesus told us in John 4:24 that God is a spirit we know that God isn’t a man so the phrase in Genesis isn’t talking about physical attributes.
If you’re LDS have you ever heard that God is a Spirit? Do you think of God as a white man?
We’re praying you know the true God!
As an FYI – I did not post the image from the Juvenile Instructor’s article. The image attached to this post is from the front cover for their monthly magazine.
You can see the image I left out when you click on link provided above. The reason why I didn’t post it is because I found it to be very offensive and can’t imagine I’m the only one who would think so.

[…] Is God a White Man? – George Q. Cannon […]
Wow. God is a spirit and if he was a man ,would it make a difference what color he was?Mormons are so deceived. 🙏🙏🙏they look to God of the Bible not their prophets and they wake up.
They need to quit looking to man for answers and seek God of the Bible.
Just another episode of the many examples of the abject racism of the LDS throughout their history. And now there are black LDS churches!!! Oh, the folly!
I was thinking the same thing when I saw the list of speakers at this GC. I often wonder at that folly as well. So sad.
