Lunacy. If their words won’t be true five years from now, then they aren’t true today. A small child should be able to grasp that.
"Thus sayeth the Lord (if the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles unanimously approve it, and if the General Authorities unanimously approve it)!"
Yeah, of all the Lds "apostles" the only one possibly more racist than Bruce McConkie was Mark E. Petersen, who took the initiative (or was assigned) to wade into it out in the open with his "Race Problems --as they affect the Church" piece in August, 1954.
McConkie's Mormon Doctrine had the Cain racist rhetoric (see p. 109).
Then, after Kimball's "revelation"...McConkie was forced to eat crow...and did so publicly:
(1) "Forget everything that I have said, or what President Brigham Young or President George Q. Cannon or whoever has said in days past that is contrary to the present revelation. We spoke with a limited understanding and without the light and knowledge that has now come into the world." (Sermons and Writings of Bruce R. McConkie, pp. 164-165)
(2) "...the Lord has now given the revelation that sheds light out into the world on this subject. As to any slivers of light or any particles of darkness of the past, we forget about them." (Ibid, p. 165)
So...see ANYTHING these hierarchy-guys utter now -- will simply be written off...dismissed due to a "limited understanding and without the light and knowledge" that will supposedly flood the next "prophet."
