Answers to Gospel Questions, p. 94 “Nothing good comes out of card games or games of chance. There are numerous ways in which we may obtain wholesome amusement and recreation which is beneficial to both body and mind. In games where cards are used usually “stakes” are played for, and betting is done. Someone will obtain the “stakes,” but no one really wins, for the one who obtains the “stakes” has lost part of his manhood which is difficult to regain.” — Joseph Fielding Smith, 10th LDS Prophet (more…)

The Heavenly Mother of Mormonism
By Melissa Grimes
One of the core beliefs in Mormonism is that not only do they have a Father in Heaven, but a Mother in Heaven as well. This doctrine came from what they call “latter day revelation”, yet it isn’t something you’ll find in any of their extra scriptures.
Mormonism teaches Heavenly Mother is the wife of the Mormon god, and was most likely his wife in the life she lived before earning her place by his side as his goddess wife of the planet earth.

It’s hard to keep track of everything when there’s always a laundry list of requirements so we’ve laid them out and listed them here.

Other Reasons Why Negro Cannot Hold Priesthood
Answers to Gospel Questions 2:188; “Kindly see chapters 15 and 16, in The Way to Perfection, for further light in relation to the reason why the Negro cannot receive the priesthood. In brief, it is as follows: Because of transgression in the first estate which deprives him in this second estate. Since Cain slew his brother Abel in order to obtain all the rights of priesthood to descend through his lineage, the Lord decreed that the children of Cain should not have the privilege of bearing the priesthood until Abel had posterity who could have the priesthood and that will have to be in the far distant future. When this is accomplished on some other world, then the restrictions will be removed from the children of Cain who have been true in this “second” estate”.
