Hi,
I am an African American convert to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and this issue almost kept me from joining the church. Those trying to help me into the Church were telling me, lovingly, that I was curse, was less valiant in the pre-existence and was of the seed of Cain. I knew they were all wrong on this issue, but felt the Lord guiding me there anyway. I've since been used by the Lord to develop a series of videos using the scriptures and more to demonstrate what is really meant.
The bottom line is there is scriptural guidance to help all who truly desire to know what those passages mean. The problem is that most take them out of context. However, when you consider the whole, all of the standard works, it paints a pretty clear picture. We've opened up all the videos free of charge on our website NEW VIDEO ON LDS & RACE
