NOT SO GOOD NEWS...

The following is from the Whittenburg Door Insider. DNA Tests Contradict Mormon's Explanation of "Diversity" Bill Lobdell of The Los Angeles Times reports a seismic event in the lives of millions of Native Americans who have been told by the Mormon church they're "descended from a lost tribe of Israel that reached the New World more than 2,000 years ago" and that by joining the Mormons they could become "white." Modern DNA evidence reveals that their ancestors came from Asia, not the Middle East. For Mormons, this is no minor collision between faith and science. According to Lobdell: "It rattles the very foundations of the 'Book of Mormon,' a 175-year-old transcription that the church regards as literal and without error. According to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, an angel named Moroni led Joseph Smith in 1827 to a divine set of golden plates buried in a hillside near his New York home. "God provided the 22-year-old Smith with a pair of glasses and seer stones that allowed him to translate the 'Reformed Egyptian' writings on the golden plates into the 'Book of Mormon: Another Testament of Jesus Christ.' "The book's narrative focuses on a tribe of Jews who sailed from Jerusalem to the New World in 600 BC and split into two main warring factions. "The God-fearing Nephites were 'pure' (the word was officially changed from 'white' in 1981) and 'delightsome.' The idol-worshiping Lamanites received the 'curse of blackness,' turning their skin! dark. "According to the Book of Mormon, by 385 AD the dark-skinned Lamanites had wiped out other Hebrews. The Mormon Church called the victors 'the principal ancestors of the American Indians.' If the Lamanites returned to the church, their skin could once again become white. "The problem is that Mormon leaders cannot acknowledge any factual errors in the Book of Mormon because the prophet Joseph Smith proclaimed it the 'most correct of any book on Earth'..."
