Discourses of Wilford Woodruff, p. 235 “…I want to say this to all Israel: Cease troubling yourselves about who God is; who Adam is, who Christ is, who Jehovah is. For heaven’s sake, let these things alone. Why trouble yourselves about these things? God has revealed himself, and when the 121st section of the Doctrine and Covenants is fulfilled, whether there be one God or many gods they will be revealed to the children of men… If we want to know any more, wait till we get where God is in person.” You can also find this at Millennial Star, No. 23, Volume 57, June 6, 1895, pp. 355-356.

First Black Mormon Polygamist

 Brigham Young wore many Hats. He had to make a determination during the Debates on Slavery in regards to which side Utah would take. In 1832, Elijah Ables, was called as the first African American priesthood holder by Joseph Smith to be a Seventy. Shortly after that, they were cast out of Missouri for wanting to abolish slavery. When the Saints started their journey out west in 1847, an African American convert named William McCrary began practicing Polygamy and taken on multiple white women as wives. But that wasn’t the reason for his excommunication. Things got really ugly he when started claiming to be a prophet while Brigham Young was away on a political trip to Washington DC to discuss Utah’s statehood. By the time he came back Orson Pratt had taken a decision to excommunicate McCrary. This is the beginning of the priesthood restriction on African Americans. There was no official D&C on the ban and it was not a revelation from God and therefore, racism must be condemned. ...

Perfect Doctrine given to imperfect people

1835 D&C 101:  https://www.josephsmithpapers.org/.../doctrine-and.../259 "Inasmuch as this church of Christ has been reproached with the crime of fornication, and polygamy: we declare that we believe, that one man  should have one wife; and one woman, but one husband, except in case of death, when either is at liberty to marry again." Brigham Young removed it from Utah LDS group D&C in 1875 “I commenced revising the history of Joseph Smith at Brother Richard’s office: Elder Heber C. Kimball and George A. Smith were with me.” Brigham Young -History of the Church 7:389 Have you seen examples of the corrupted Utah LDS church under polygamist Brigham Young trying to change the church history? It is literally right there for all to clearly see. Here is a quick example of Oct 5, 1843 where they changed what Joseph said entirely!: Joseph Smith's journal entry - Noting that Joseph forbids the practice of plural marriage (handwriting – Williard Richards)  https://www.josep...

Coming back to the Universal One true Church

 All humans have an inherent need to discover the purpose of their existence. It's what motivates us every morning.  I wasn’t attending mass during my college (Uni) years. But I sought meaning in life in the material world with new age beliefs. It is this search that led me to learn about the "restored" Gospel of Jesus Christ through the missionaries of the Latter Day Saint (LDS) Church.  By the time I landed my first corporate job and immersed myself into work and hanging out on Friday’s late into the night drinking and smoking, I was only Catholic on paper. I allowed myself to be deceived into thinking that if I was a good person and believe in Jesus that is sufficient. So after being pursued for months and maybe even years by Mormon Missionaries, I was baptized in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. Prior to making my LDS baptism decision, I never sought to determine the authenticity of the teachings passed down through the tradition of the Catholic Churc...
