Do the changes in Mormon beliefs(ie black people are cursed and polygamous marriage)?

God told us that, and God told us to stop it.

Anytime a major change is made in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (mormons) it is directed by God. Actually nothing is done in the church that is not directed by God.

These policies were changed as a result of revelation from God, to His prophets.

Edit**

God is perfect, we don't know his reasons for doing things, one day we will. Please understand that God's people are human, and being so are not perfect. Sometimes, throughout time certain doctrines get perverted by the imperfect humans who are living and practicing these doctrines. The Lord knows this and that could be why sometimes, he makes a law and then replaces it with something else. Sometimes, there are certain needs, so our Loving Father in Heaven (God) makes provisions for these needs. I don't have all the answers, but I do know that our Father in Heaven loves us, and He wants us to do the right thing.

Juju- to learn more about Mormons and Mormonism, visit the LDS church's official website, www.Mormon.org, that should answer some of your questions. The contreversy is mostly from those who don't take the time to understand what we are all about. People don't take the time to research our teachings

God.

We believe that the rules are for us, not God. So, as we need a rule, He gives it. When it is no longer necessary, He takes it away, or puts it on hold. It is up to God, not us.

For the record...God is perfect...He is just dealing with imperfect children. This means that He needs to give us some rules that prepare us for others, and when the new rule come down the line, the old one is put away because it has done its part. Hence "line upon line precept upon precept, here a little there a little."

well you stated, why would God change. God can do whatever he likes, and change whatever he likes. This does not suggest he is imperfect.

Lets take the situation where Abraham was commanded to kill his son. God told him, commanded him to do it. Then at the last minute, he was told not to kill his son.

Whats the difference? God does what he wants, when he wants. If he wants to change something he can, and no one can stop him.

Hope that answers your question.

Polygamy was practiced in the Mormons church up until 1890. There were various reasons for polygamy. One of them was that the early growing church was gaining many more female members than male, and there was no way that many women would be able to find a Mormon husband. Additionally, Joseph Smith approached God in prayer and asked God why it was the ancient prophets had more than one wife in the Bible. Joseph Smith's answer was that it was a higher law, that only a few, aka prophets were asked to follow at certain times when it was required.

We are taught now in the LDS church that polygamy is no longer required. Will it come back again some day? I do not think so, as the reasons for doing it in the early days of the Church no longer exist.

And Just for you to know the truth of lds

There have to be a purpose for life otherwise we will miss the path so we want to be just better everyday

so

Spiritually,

What is God? ,

What’s makes God as god? ,

What is God’s Power? ,

For all sort of these questions, I have very limited understanding so Let me give you the point. Well, just try to know, what’s makes God as god, the Power, isn’t it? So what the power can do? Ah? Well, It can give the ability to organise all things and It can give the ability to separate everything and most importantly, the ability to control everything. Isn’t it? Isn’t it Good? Ah? So, what I try to say here is, from my hard study and effort with the help from god, I realized that the ability to control everything, the Power of God is gradually increased in the full amount to use so, The Power of God is always the omnipotent and existed among everything so the God now is always the same omnipotent, who is organised us So how could that be possible to be perfect in perfection always, Ah…? And The Power of God, the ability is the reward for us to control everything in a proper manner, like the true God of goodness.

So ~ LOVE IS THE ABILITY ~

You have to lift it up little by little towards Perfection. So

If you are humble, please... Pray to know the truth from true God by the inspiration of the Holy Spirit with great faith and do what is right for you and sometimes, things can be right in your point of view but wrong in Public point of view so

Basically, just pray about it for the Good Answer and try to do the God's will first always

And

I have true testimony of true God

Please, just try to understand the fundamental...

If you think, why so much trouble and pain in this world…? Then there is only one reason, without pain, No pleasure and without pleasure, no pain. So without them, we cannot enjoy this life so always we need them in our development towards the perfection of God. So-so, you use pain and pleasure instead of pain and pleasure use you. And

It is Wonderful… wonderful nature for us by the true… God. And

we all make mistakes so it is hard to look for star in daylight. So just in faith… it is possible. Like that the faith in true God. And If you think, even expert can be wrong then you have to make the fine research in all most everything so It is hard and some time, it is impossible to achieve so Why we need inappropriate action to find the owner of higher power? SO,

So, just try to understand, because of Lack of faith in true God, we do not have the great gift of understanding of things so just

understand this please.

We cannot get anything from nothing so changing something into this perfect state, we need something or someone so all things are spiritually first, to govern everything by God. So, closely, Have a look at this world of wonders of yours and then you know the truth, when you listen to your real voice and then Having a strong desire to do the best every day then stick with the best to do your best. And most importantly, try to be grateful for what you have now and try to know where you come from to have the great gift of understanding and then, have the faith to become the best winner in your life. And this is the best meaning of happy life.

And

The Low of mercy cannot rob the Low of justice so God provided the way to our salvation to overcome our sin so Jesus Christ sacrifice is much needed to return to live with God, because God is perfect in perfection so Jesus Christ is our savior to pay our punishment of our sin so-so Because of the perfect love of god for you. So God gave Jesus Christ for us ~ FOR US ~

Well,

It is the time to make the great decision.

Good luck.

Okay, who says that change is us = change in god?

God doesnt change, WE do. Therefore what hr currently teaches may change.

Can somebody explain what Mormonism is?

Why is there such a controversy about it?

the polygamy was not a "belief" it was a commandment.

We have loved black people throughout the whole history of the church.
