Teachings of Brigham Young
Topics
Brigham taught that the moon and sun were inhabited
Summary: It is claimed that Brigham Young taught that the moon and sun were inhabited, and that this is proof he was a false prophet.Was Brigham Young a racist?
Summary: Why did past prophets make racist statements? God had already revealed to Peter that he should not call anything "common" that God had cleansed (Acts 10:9-16), yet some modern-day prophets thought that blacks were inferior to whites; why is that?The "curse of Cain" and "curse of Ham"
Summary: Don't Latter-day Saints believe and teach that blacks are descendents of Cain, and that they are cursed?Do LDS leaders claim that blacks go to heaven as slaves?
Summary: Elder Mark E. Peterson said, " If that Negro is faithful all his days, he can and will enter the celestial kingdom. He will go there as a servant, but he will get a celestial resurrection. He will get a place in the celestial glory." Therefore, do Mormons consider God to have an "equal heaven" for all races?Death the penalty for race mixing?
Summary: "...Brigham Young said race mixing was punishable by death."Brigham says his sermons are "scriptures"?
Summary: Critics sometimes impose absolutist assumptions on the Church. Some critics hold inerrantist beliefs about scriptures or prophets, and assume that the LDS have similar views. Critics therefore insist, based upon the assumptions above, that any statement by any LDS Church leader represents LDS doctrine and is thus something that is secretly believed, or that should be believed, by Latter-day Saints.Quote mining JD 13:95 on sermons as scripture
Brigham Young on need to know for ourselves
Brigham Young as Young Earth Creationist?
Summary: Critics try to portray Brigham Young as a "young earth creationist" (YEC). This is someone who believes the earth was created in the recent past, usually 6-7,000 years ago, based upon a literal and fundamentalist reading of Genesis. They hope that by making Brigham appear uninformed about scientific matters, they can challenge his status as a prophet.Did Brigham Young think too much education was damaging?
Summary: Did Brigham Young state that too much education would be damaging to children? Brigham stated: "We should never crowd and force the minds of our children beyond what they are able to bear. If we do we ruin them for life."
