Since mormons say Joseph Smith prophecies are 100% true, is the whites being superior to blacks prophecy true?

We never said we were superior to blacks.

Joseph Smith did make some conditional prophecies. However, when a condition isn't met, the prophecy won't come true. There are similar examples of this in the Bible. The ones that you're claiming "didn't come true" were simply conditional prophecies. Research them a bit more and it's very clear. He did prophecy his own death. He did prophecy that his church of 6 members would "fill the earth" and go to "every nation". He did prophecy that the saints would establish the Utah desert He did prophecy of the civil war. He prophesied that the individual running against Abraham Lincoln (can't remember his name) would lose the presidential election (even though he was the favorite at the time). Actually DNA evidence is inconclusive. We just know too little about the DNA of the Jaredites, the DNA of other inhabitants, the DNA of the Mulekites, and the DNA of the Nephites and Lamanites. Haplogroup X is a Semitic DNA marker that shows up in about 3% of Native Americans and ancient Hebrew writings that pre-date the spanish have been found in the Americas. I find it interesting that people like yourself completely ignore the hundreds of things that offer supporting evidences to the Book of Mormon and Joseph Smith's claims. Each time you're proven wrong, you pretend that it never happened and change the subject. Why is that?

What I find interesting is that at this point nearly all of the answers have received huge amounts of thumbs downs except the best contributors/mormons who have answered the question. In view of this observation, which is there for all to see, I have to wonder if some of these people have multiple accounts and are booting their own answers several times over. Is this legal in Answers!?

My own opinion is that the question itself is weak. For one, even the Mormons recognize that not all the prophecies are 100% true, or they would not keep providing "new revelations" to replace the old ones. Secondly, because this old revelation about white supremacy was "fixed" with a new revelation when it became a civil rights issue, the point is now moot. I was told back in the early 80s by a Mormon elder in Portland, Oregon that the LDS would be courting a massive black mormon population to give the Mormons new credibility in this area, and see that this has been accomplished. Don't be confused, just keep up with the new revelations and stay current. And yes, I know the difference between LDS and Mormons, and in this instance, the differences don't affect the answer.

Also note that in the topics of religion, politics, and evolution here on Yahoo Answers!, the only constant is change, and the only truth that seems to matter is perception. I am seeing that questioners often vote for Best Answers of those who agree with them, not necessarily those who have the best answers to the questions. This is unfortunate, as I would hope that if you want an answer to your question, you would want to consider your options, not just vote for someone who jumps on your bandwagon. We shall see here soon enough who will get Best Answer to this question.

I do take issue with the posters who globally claim that Christians are bashers and then do the same thing. Why is this allowed? Everyone is entitled to his opinion, even the many posters are allowed to be abusive and sarcastic just because they are not Christians. Anyone who truly believes in his faith would defend it to his death, and I would expect nothing less. We should all be respectful of another's beliefs, but be strong enough to defend our own. The Bible tells us to be ready to give an answer to any man who asks about the hope that is in us. In doing so, someone who disagrees will tend to take offense, but this cannot be avoided and is sometimes a good thing in that it makes us consider our options. We all need to be able to 'sift the wheat from the shaff', and every answer should give us something to think about. After all, isn't our spiritual condition the point of all this discussion, Renee, me, and nighttree? And yes, I am a Christian. Because my opinion doesn't match yours, how does this fact automatically make me a basher?

The statement made by Brigham Young about the blacks being cursed is never read and quoted verbatum when it concludes, ". . . but the day will come when all that race will be redeemed and possess all the blessings which we now have. I am opposed to the present system of slavery."

How utterly convenient for those antagonists to stop their quotation just before the crucial ending of Brigham Young's famous discourse.

That prophecy came true in the year 1978. Believe it or not.

He didn't teach that blacks were inferior he cursed the south Americans with a dark skin... the book of mormon was never about Africa and her inhabitants.

And that's not a 'Joseph Smith Prophesy' those are part of the book of Mormon... Doctrine and Covenants pertain to 'revelations'.

You have a number of misconceptions, but I've seen before these misconceptions published by anti-Mormons who should know better.

When you reference the Book of Mormon you aren't talking about a prophecy of Joseph Smith. Would you call the Bible a prophecy of modern translators? No, of course not. The Book of Mormon is a book Joseph Smith translated.

Are you aware that the scriptures you referenced in the Book of Mormon have nothing to do with African Americans? Those scriptures in the Book of Mormon talk about the Lamanites and their descendants. They talk about the Native Americans. Native Americans were never denied the priesthood. Those who were denied the priesthood were the descendents of Ham. They have a dark skin and they come from Africa.

What the Book of Mormon is talking about is a dark skin on the descendants of Laman (or, in general, the Lamanites) who were given that dark skin as a warning to the Nephites to not marry them. Why is that, you might ask? It was because the Lamanites had become a wicked and idolatrous people. Once they repented and turned to the Lord the dark skin was taken away from them.

No one is saying that whites are superior to blacks. You could say that the Book of Mormon teaching is like the Bible teaching that believers should not marry unbelievers and thus be unequally yoked. It was not the color of their skin that made the difference in the Book of Mormon, it was their deeply engrained false beliefs.

With the descendants of Ham it is not the color of their skin that prevented them from having the priesthood, it was the will of God that this mark be put upon them until a time when the Lord should see fit to give them the priesthood. It is not saying that one race is superior to another, there was just a distinction made by God.

You're confused because you haven't read a word of the scriptures you are quoting or the stories that they come from.

Since you are choosing to crush your boyfriend's skull with hate rather than read what he believes, you may have missed the following:

-The Book of Mormon was translated by Joseph Smith.

-1 and 2nd Nephi refer to the Lamanites, a group of Native Americans likely in central or south America. That curse didn't jump the water to Africa.

-Joseph Smith put no prophecy in the Book of Mormon.

-Doctrine and Covenants holds the prophecies of Joseph Smith. None are about the black race (except the Civil War starting in South Carolina over slavery)

If you had any care at all for your boyfriend, you would study what he believes rather than try to tear it down with the help of others trained to do so.

No teenager is equipped with absolute truth. If you feel that you have it, then you are a very arrogant and destructive person.

First of all, Joseph Smith didn't prophesy that whites were superior to blacks. That is a misconception on your part. Taking what is written in the Book of Mormon for Joseph Smith's prophecy is another falsehood. Joseph Smith didn't write the Book he simply translated it. The words in it are God's words. God isn't racist because God is the Father of us all. Most Churches of the time when Joseph Smith was a prophet were racist. they all taught that the black man was inferior. It wasn't just a mormon thing. It was a human society thing.

Maybe if you actually read the book of Mormon you would know that those verses have nothing to do with black people and that there is no such prophecy saying one race is superior to another. But you wouldn't know that because you have never read it.

"There is a lot of folklore and misinformation about black members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Black Mormons not only have to deal with their own families and their own salvation, but they also have to deal with these myths that continue to be spread about blacks in the LDS church. Some of these myths include the idea that blacks are not welcome in the LDS church, or that the LDS church teaches that blacks are somehow less valiant than their white brothers and sisters.These myths are partly spread and maintained by some who belong to anti-cult ministries whose purpose is to tear down the beliefs of Mormons, and to prevent people from joining the LDS church. Ironically, while they shout racism, some of these anti-cult, or anti-Mormon ministries are all-white organizations.

Unfortunately, the myths are also passed on by well meaning but misguided members of the LDS Church. This means that black members have to not only deal with their own issues but spend time educating others as well and do this all within the context of a predominantly white culture.

Thankfully, many of our black brothers and sisters have been successful at this. This Web site is to educate and to support the black and white members of the LDS church as they deal with these issues."

For of being racist the christians who accuse us, like to remind them that the baptists (and other christians) fought on the confederate side and refused to stop segregation in the 1900s, I would. Like the remind them that the christians a few hundred years ago were involved heavily in the slave trade, I would. Yeesssssss.
