You do know that Mormons were driven out of Missouri because they were against slavery, and were a large voting block. Many Many evangelical churches still have segregated congregations.

If Baptists want to take this issue on, they had better be prepared to do so.

That was not the only reason allon. The "Missouri War" was kicked off by Sidney Rigdon's 1838 "Salt Speech" in which he declared a "war of extermination,". Smith later made this speech into a pamphlet. Then you had the Danite band raiding the local countryside.

Many Many evangelical churches still have segregated congregations.

And just 3% of Mormons are African-American. Only one black serves in the top 105 leadership positions of the mormon church today. Yet the mormon church has refused to repent of its racist theology and history - a point you seem to want to avoid.

If Baptists want to take this issue on, they had better be prepared to do so.

Fine, at least they have officially repented of their sinful past. Where is the same from the mormon church? (crickets)

You forgot to add that they were against the real Jesus too! And take a look at what Brigham said about black people in the JOD and about the priesthood and blacks? Along with other Mormon leaders, you can deny their racist history all you want but the facts are undeniable.

Brigham Young - "Cain and his posterity will remain cursed and not receive the priesthood until all other children of Adam have had this privilege." — Journal of Discourses, vol. 2, p. 143 (December 12, 1854)

Brigham Young - "The mark of Cain is a flat nose and black skin." — Journal of Discourses, vol. 7, p. 290 (October 9, 1859)

Brigham Young - "The present struggle (Civil War) will not free the descendants of Ham who are slaves." — Journal of Discourses, vol. 10, p. 250 (October 6, 1863)

I'm cursed according to the early Mormon leaders! These are my main arguments when I witness to Mormons and they claim that they "have new revelation from the living prophet"!

The truth does not change! According to Dut. 18:20-22, it only takes one!
