Why Barrack Obama Should Not Be President
The following succinctly outlines the reasons (the everlasting gospel does not change. Truth does not change, but lies do (progressive revelation is a lie, saith the Lord):
The prophet Brigham Young, who was president of the Church longer than any other man and who had been taught the doctrines of this Church firsthand from the Prophet Joseph Smith, made this significant statement:
...any man having one drop of the seed of Cain... in him cannot hold the Priesthood and if no other Prophet ever spake it before I will say it now in the name of Jesus Christ I know it is true and others know it (quoted in "Race Problems--As They Affect the Church," by Mark E. Petersen, p. 7)
The reason for Brigham's making this strange but important statement was possibly explained by a black man--Dr. Booker T. Washington, who obtained a degree in the field of genetics. In 1913 Dr. Washington was invited to speak at the University of Utah, at which nearly all of the general authorities of the Church were in attendance. Bishop John Whitaker, in a private conversation afterwards, asked him about the effect of this mixed blood between the two races. Whitaker reported:
If perchance under discussion on some Negro problem, the question arose as to how a Negro would vote if only one drop of Negro blood run in his veins which way would that drop of blood vote on a question, white or black?
Without hesitation he [Dr. Washington] said, "If there was one drop of blood in a person and such a question arose, it would always vote with the Negro." I was struck with his ready answer, [205] showing he had thought out almost every conceivable connection white and black. And I have been told that pure white blood through intermarriage with any other blood runs out in four generations. I am told that Negro blood will persist up to eight generations. There seems to be something in that accursed blood that will not yield to white blood. (Daily Journal of John M. Whitaker, March 27, 1913, U of U Library)
It is for this reason that men who are of partially mixed blood with the Canaanite will not vote or sustain the laws or principles that pertain to the covenants and Priesthood of the House of Israel. Therefore, men must be particularly certain as to where, how and by whom the Priesthood is handled.
This problem came up in a Council meeting in which George Q. Cannon spoke up, saying:
President Young held to the doctrine that no man tainted with Negro blood was eligible to have the priesthood; that President Taylor held to the same doctrine, claiming to have been taught it by the Prophet Joseph Smith. (Council Minutes, Aug. 22, 1900, Bennion Papers)
These factors governing the Priesthood are so critical that men, in any position, can lose their own Priesthood and calling by disobedience to them. Brigham Young understood it to be so conclusive that he declared:
Let this Church which is called the Kingdom of God on the earth; we will summons the First Presidency, the Twelve, the High Council, the Bishopric, and all the Elders of Israel, suppose we summons them and appear here, and here declare that it is right to mingle our seed with the black race of Cain, that they shall come in with us and be partakers with us of all the blessings God has given to us. On that very day and hour we should do so, the Priesthood is taken from this Church and Kingdom and God leaves us to our fate. The moment we con-[206]sent to mingle with the seed of Cain, the Church must go to destruction--we should receive the curse which has been placed upon the seed of Cain, and never more be numbered with the children of Adam who are heirs to the Priesthood until that curse be removed. (Speech by Gov. Brigham Young in Joint Session of the Legislature, giving his views on slavery, Feb. 5, 1852)
According to this, then, every man in the Church who tries to give the Priesthood to the Negro, or sanctions giving it to them, must, of course, lose his own Priesthood. Such a situation is now occurring within the Church.
This loss of Church Priesthood is also noted in a recent small pamphlet put out by the Utah Christian Mission, reprinted in part here:
On June 1, 1978, the Presidency and the Twelve Apostles of the Mormon Church decided to permit Negroes to hold the Priesthood. The Priesthood is regarded as the ultimate authority by which they are empowered to carry on their ministry here on earth Mormons maintain that without it, none of their ordinances would have any value with God.
Previously, no Negro was allowed to hold the Priesthood because he was under a curse. The Mormon Prophet, Brigham Young, declared a drop of Negro blood was sufficient to bring a person under the curse and bar him from the Priesthood.
Brigham Young, in true prophetic style, anticipated the day when the Church would reverse itself on this matter. He declared that if the time ever came when the Presidency and the Twelve Apostles should meet and CONFER THE PRIESTHOOD ON THE NEGROES, immediately, THE PRIESTHOOD WOULD BE TAKEN FROM THE CHURCH AND THE CURSE BE GIVEN IN ITS PLACE. Prophet Young declared:
... the first presidency, the twelve, the high counsel, the Bishoprick, and all the elders of Israel, suppose we summon them to appear here, and here declare that it is right to mingle our seed, with the black race of Cain, that they shall come in with us and be partakers with us of all the blessings God has to us. On that very day, and from the hour we should do so, the priesthood is taken from this Church and kingdom and God leaves us to our fate. The moment we consent to mingle with the seed of Cain, the Church must go to destruction, - we should receive the curse which has been placed upon the seed of Cain, and never more be numbered with the children of Adam who are heirs to the....
