Having a discussion with TBM. where in the BofM does it say that having sex with a dark person is so disgusting?

that was a BY quote.

'of course' all BY ever said was 'scripture', correct?

No it's in the b of m. The reason why they have a dark skin is to make them repulsive to whites

Brigham Young comments about blacks

"You see some classes of the human family that are black, uncouth, uncomely, disagreeable and low in their habits, wild, and seemingly deprived of nearly all the blessings of the intelligence that is generally bestowed upon mankind . . . Cain slew his brother. Cain might have been killed, and that would have put a termination to that line of human beings. This was not to be, and the Lord put a mark upon him, which is the flat nose and black skin." (Journal of Discourses, vol. 7, p. 290).
"In our first settlement in Missouri, it was said by our enemies that we intended to tamper with the slaves, not that we had any idea of the kind, for such a thing never entered our minds. We knew that the children of Ham were to be the "servant of servants," and no power under heaven could hinder it, so long as the Lord would permit them to welter under the curse and those were known to be our religious views concerning them." (Journal of Discourses, vol. 2, p. 172).
"Shall I tell you the law of God in regard to the African race? If the white man who belongs to the chosen seed mixes his blood with the seed of Cain, the penalty, under the law of God, is death on the spot. This will always be so." (Journal of Discourses, vol. 10, p. 110).

Wtf? if I wasn't already out of TSCC this statement alone would shatter my shelf. Once again I am embarrassed to have EVER been a member of that sick-asss cult!!!

2 Nephi 5:21-23
https://www.lds.org/scriptures/bofm/2-ne/5?lang=eng

21 And he had caused the cursing to come upon them, yea, even a sore cursing, because of their iniquity. For behold, they had hardened their hearts against him, that they had become like unto a flint; wherefore, as they were white, and exceedingly fair and delightsome, that they might not be enticing unto my people the Lord God did cause a skin of blackness to come upon them.

22 And thus saith the Lord God: I will cause that they shall be loathsome unto thy people, save they shall repent of their iniquities.

23 And cursed shall be the seed of him that mixeth with their seed; for they shall be cursed even with the same cursing. And the Lord spake it, and it was done.

Alma 3:8-9
2 Nephi 5:21-23

they were all 'Speaking as a Man'!

that, PLUS..... BY was a human being, right? It was just a mistake, when BY cursed an entire human race. No profits are perfect.

BY used the word 'black', which is more specific than the BoM scripture cited/quoted.


OOPS! it's also in the scripture (blush)

In 2003, I debated this issue with a TBM named Guy Briggs. Guy was trying to reconcile in his mind the racist implications of the BOM verses where God turned the Lamanites "dark and loathsome" to distinguish them from the "white and delightsome" Nephites. Guy advocated that the skin-color change thing wasn't literal, and that the "real" Lamanite curse was being denied the spirit of God. In this thread, Guy wrote:

> Personally, I'm of the school that doesn't take the dark-skin thing
>literally.
>bestRegards, Guy.

I responded:

And what "school" would that be, Guy? The School Of Closet Apostates Who
Really Don't Believe The Book Of Mormon Is Literal?

A major premise of the BOM is that it gives the alleged explanation for the
skin color of American Indians: It's the mark of the "curse" of God.

That premise has been repeated by LDS leaders from Joseph Smith down to Gordon
B. Hinckley.

Whilst you repeat your assertion that "the curse was their being separated from
God," the BOM states clearly that the "wicked Lamanites" had their skins turned
"dark and loathsome" so that they wouldn't be "enticing" to the "white and
delightsome Nephites."

Now, if you had half a brain, you would acknowledge that that verbiage means
that the way a "righteous Nephite" could identify a "wicked Lamanite," and thus
avoid interbreeding with them, was their "dark and loathsome" skin color.

And that makes it obvious that the verbiage in the BOM about skin color
referred to a literal situation, as opposed to your inane idea that it wasn't
"literal."

When you write things like this that directly oppose what the BOM clearly says,
and which have been reiterated by LDS church leaders, what you are really
telling us is that you don't believe the BOM is factual, and that LDS leaders
don't have any credibility in expounding doctrine.

End quotes. Throughout the BOM storyline, the word "white" is repeatedly associated with "delightsome," and "dark" is similarly paired with "loathsome."

Good stuff Randy.

...explain away the obviously racist implications of the BOM storyline. Today's native Americans are supposedly the literal descendants of those "dark and loathsome" Lamanites. The fact that modern native Americans are still dark-skinned means that they're still "cursed," according to the BOM's clear teachings.

I'd love to hear some Mormon GA give a sermon in which he reminds young native American Mormon girls that, according to the holy scriptures, they aren't "enticing" to white Mormon boys.
