I noticed this statement on an online video about Mormons. My dad was Mormon and also believed it was true. How can they be so dumb? Also, I have heard that they believe Africans had something to do with being cursed by god, having their skin cursed or something. My grandmother was a Mormon and talked like this. Is this true and where can these funny ideas be traced in the book of Mormon? Is there a page about this stuff that I can look up?

This is false doctrine as it came from the "book of mormon". Please don't believe this stuff. If you want to read something good, something that will help your soul, read the Bible. The LDS church is a cult, they give you just enough gospel and mix it in w/hogwash from Joseph Smith. If you don't know the Bible you will get sucked into their little cult and will find a hard time getting out.

I'm Christian, and I've looked at some of the mormon doctrine against the manuscripts: Not a good find, so I want to make it clear that I do not agree with the mormon religion, But......
Don't be too quick to judge this; The Tribes of Judah, along with Benjamin and the Lev.
Priestline, remained in and around Judea,
but the other ten tribes migrated north over the caucus mountains, settled Europe and eventually the USA and were come to be known as "caucasions"; they find Hebrew inscriptions on digs in this Country quite a bit; I saw a documentary on one of them on the Discovery Channel. So, without a deeper study of those migrations, I wouldn't want to rush to critisizm on this one.....

B.S. (Barnabas Saves), To be honest, i don't know. were all of us white at the same time as contained in the backyard? i don't know for positive, I wasn't there. Now for the community human beings. we've by no potential claimed that all community human beings got here from the human beings of the e book of Mormon. We do trust besides the undeniable fact that that there are communities of human beings bring about the americas from distinct places. in case you would possibly want to fairly study the e book it truly is clearly reported therein. We trust that they got here from many lands and that God has the right to steer whomever He desires to a land the position they could prepare their faith freely. with the purpose to entice close a lot on even if or not they were white is merely short sighted. the position they righteous and does their celebration to us have fee? Does their record factor to Jesus Christ and do they testify of His divinity and position as our Savior? to those questions the answer is actual sure. Addendum: C., your contempt is quite palpable and your critiques at the same time as you've the right to them instruments you aside as well as any solutions you could proffer up as contemptable. Your vapid responses and slanderous accusations are for this reason tainted so a lengthy way as being a reliable source of any options. Pity.

Yeah, I had some mormons talk to me once about how a tribe of israelites made boats and paddled over to America, and turned into the Mayans or something. They ended up getting killed by people who didn't believe in God and thats why we have mayan buildings but not mayan people. I kinda don't believe that. I kinda laughed after they left. Not nice, I know, but funny!

I don't know about Mormons, but I believe some Israelites are of Native American descent.

I don't know about the NA/Israelites thing. But the thing about Blacks they did believe. For a long time they would not baptize Blacks - but they now do, and allow then to hold church callings. I don't know a scripture reference - but a Mormon bishop or seminary teacher would.

Sad,but true. Since the DNA evidence they are doing some back tracking on it. They don't teach it, and much as they used to.

There are no people native to the Americas. As far as Africans being cursed...they first evolved from the apes, so this explains their unruly behavior and actions.
