mormons and anti mormons! How many teachings today in the LDS church are exactly opposite of what Joseph....?

Question

Taught?is it possible to Learn of these overturned docctrines and still believe in the LDS Cannon? or will most mormons act like muslims and non repentant christianity? hehehe. I think all religions are corrupted.

one minor change was that of Racism! even mixxed race marriage. See my other question on this subject for reference.

Answer 1

Joseph Smith had a pretty tart reputation with those who opposed his Church. He was also prone do be drunk, like Noah in his tent after the flood.

It is completely possible that Joseph taught some things that were uninspired and that these have since been corrected by more inspired teachings. The LDS Church doesn't hold anyone (even Joseph the Prophet) to be perfect like Christ was perfect. The LDS Church doesn't even claim to be a 'perfect' Church; it just claims to be Christ's Church. The Church claims to teach a perfect Gospel, but also claims that the Church itself is no more perfect than its members.

Rather than seeking to prove religions are true or false, I personally think it is important to determine through your own study of the Bible (and Book of Mormon if you wish) what the ultimate truth is, then to attend the Church of your choice and understand how to discern between God's teachings and Man's teachings. No Church can save you, just your belief in Christ. Even the most devout Mormons don't actually believe that it is the Church saving them, but Christ saving them as they live his principles and follow him, which they learned to do through the Church.

Answer 2

As the above stated, the Church is not static, and therefore there is room for change. Just as the circumstances of the world change so can God's advice. This is why God has called prophets (e.g. Noah and Moses) to tell people to change their ways or act in a certain way. I don't think there is anything that is exactly opposite from what Joseph Smith taught, because he taught in continued revelation from God, which leaves open the possibility things would be different in the future. Also, from my understanding, Joseph Smith was not a racist and did not teach that Black people were less then any other race, but that they were equals; Black people may not have received the Priesthood until the late 70's, but that does not mean they weren't equals in the sight of God and the Mormons have never taught that.

Answer 3

LDS Doctrine is always changing since we have modern day prophets. The world is always changing and we need to keep up.
I couldn't find your other question. I am in an interracial marriage. In America generally people who are colored have other challenges that white people don't because of their skin color. The more challenges we face let us grow and become wiser. This is what Heavenly Father wants for us (according to LDS doctrine) So colored people are actually lucky I believe. If they can overcome all the obstacles they face then they truly are blessed. One prophet said that black people were an inferior race. was he saying that as doctrine? Or stating what was happening in those times, when they were not treated equally.

Answer 4

...your question becomes way to nebulous to target a good answer... the church of LDS refuses to accept the "Rock" solid teaching of Christ and thus has become "static" and vicarious under the teaching of "Smith"... follow Smiths life (his earlier life) and then truly decide of he is the profit for the god you want to follow... I trust in the Profit Isaiah, chapter 53 to set down the a foundational platform for a relationship with God... The Disciple "Paul", being the witness that he was is also a very very creditable author... (It's all in The Book)... the one written and Rock-Solid long before the book of Mormon...

Answer 5

It is possible to LEARN from your own moral codes, research into other faiths and belief systems and to form your own opinions with your own mind!!
