Galatians 3:26-28 “For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus. 27 For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ. 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.”

Is this really a work of a perfect God?

Today we’re adding another segment to our Book of Mormon Foundation Series with our list of Racist Book of Mormon verses. It seemed only fitting to give this topic its own category for two reasons.

1. Expose the truth about the false Jesus in the BoM.
2. Expose the truth about its racist ideologies.

Racism has no place in the life of a true believer. While attitudes towards nonwhites have changed from the time I was a kid growing up in Utah Mormonism, LDS canon remains the same. Along those same lines, the Mormon people are far too accepting of this canon, and their leaders who use it to preach venomous lies.

We’re challenging the ambiguity of the Mormon people, and do so in all sincerity.

If you’re not racist, denounce the doctrine.

You can’t love the Book of Mormon, and hate racism at the same time.

We encourage you to stop being tolerant of ungodly doctrines like the one below that sums up the way leaders answer questions when confronted with this issue.

Juvenile Instructor, Vol. 30, No. 1, Salt Lake City, February 15, 1895, p. 129; “We are asked if the natives of New Zealand and of the Samoan, Society and Sandwich Islands are descendants of the Nephites or of the Lamanites. If of the former, how can their dark color be accounted for? . . . if they are descendants of Nephi, how came they to be dark as the Lamanites?

 It is plain from the history which the Lord has given us in the Book of Mormon that this dark skin has been brought upon them by transgression. Whether this transgression occurred before they left this continent or afterwards, is not clear.”

Here are the 21 passages containing all the racist verses in the BoM, and the Pearl of Great Price. Be sure to check back often for our updates of other categories!
