Brigham's Priesthood Ban...and More!

Post by The Red Pill »

This is a very well researched and documented DEEP DEEP...DEEP dive into Brigham's priesthood ban by Rob Fotheringham. However...it goes far beyond that. It explores many of Brigham's policies that have since been reversed and rebuked.

It's LONG, but we'll worth your time and effort...I guarantee you will learn some things you didn't know...I certainly did...so grab some popcorn and enjoy.

I ask respectfully...that you ACTUALLY watch it before commenting about it. Like a movie critic that didn't actually see the film...is not really in a position to give their own rating...

I will watch this before I comment. I will attest that I have been given personal revelation on many questions that I had about BY's doctrines and their impact on the church.

Rob Fotheringham is a total joke. He's completely intellectually dishonest. I haven't watched this video, but I have no doubt that it's more of the same shenanigans.

Did he discuss what Joseph Smith and the scriptures have to say about blacks being decendents of Cain and Canaan and under a divine curse and that according to Abraham 1, this includes a ban on receiving the priesthood?

Did he mention that Elijah Abel is a very unique case, being only 1/8 black and that there are several sources which say Joseph Smith took his priesthood away?

I doubt it.

So Joseph Smith led the church astray?

Atticus… the forum Gods have made it so that I can no longer see your posts. The small little *read post* button from the “ignore list” is now gone. We have been forever separated. May God gently smile down upon you.

And it came to pass that the forum God's were merciful unto Reluctant Watchman, yea insomuch that the great stumbling block has been removed from before his path.

Great be the rejoicing for the compassion and blessings that the forum God's have bestowed this day....hallelujah and praise their name!

Dwindling in unbelief; belief in bad doctrine/false doctrine, causing one or a thing (like a church or a message) to become less due to faith in something untrue

Someone needs a safe space, would a participation award 🥇 be in order also? 😂

You should watch it. He disputes what you said very concisely and gives the sources to back it up.

If you can give me a time stamp for this concise dispute of his, I'll check it out. But I'm not watching the whole video. I've watched several of his videos in the past and consider them to basically be garbage.
