The Mormon Faith & Black Folks
Conclusion
Conclusion
The journey of the Black Mormon has been a long one; a
very difficult journey. Black Mormons have had to bear burdens very few white
Mormons could have bourne. But when the sacrifice is greater so is the reward.
Now, at the end of their long journey, they have arrived, and, as Brigham Young
once declared, have the Priesthood and all the blessings every other Member of
the Church can enjoy, and more!
This book was written because thousands of black folks
are joining the Church every year, and eventually all of them hear something
about the Curse of Cain and the Priesthood ban. Naturally, they have questions;
sincere questions. Unfortunately, most of the time their bishops tell them
“Don’t worry about it!” or “That’s all in the past, just forget about it!” or
“Why are you asking such questions?” or “Look at the time! I’ve gotta run!”
This book was written for those black, white, yellow, red, and brown Members of
the Church, and the sincere Investigator, and the missionary, and the long-time
Member who has always wondered, who have sincere questions and deserve sincere
and truthful answers.. It was written
for you so that you can know the Truth, and the Truth will set you free
from doubts and questions.
On the top of most Mormon Temples one sees an Angel
blowing a trumpet. What does that symbolize? Is is symbolic of the Gathering of
the Elect. Jesus said:
“And he shall send His angels with the great sound
of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his Elect from
the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.” (Matthew 24:31)
Angels appeared to Joseph Smith, Oliver Cowdery, and
others, and restored to them the Priesthood keys to “bind on earth what shall
be bound in Heaven”. (Matt. 18:18). It is in Mormon Temples that faithful
Priesthood-holders are sealed to their faithful wives and
children for time and all eternity; so they can have and enjoy those
relationship on other worlds; worlds without end.
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints sends
out tens of thousands of missionaries each and every year with copies of The
Book of Mormon, which says that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God,...
"..and he inviteth them all to come unto him and
partake of his goodness; and he denieth none that come unto him, black or
white, bond or free, male or female; and he remembereth the heathen;
and all are alike unto God.” (2 Nephi 26:33)
