“I testify that the Book of Mormon is truly the word of God. It contains the answers to life’s most compelling questions. Its truths have the power to inspire, comfort, restore, strengthen, console, and cheer our souls,” President Nelson wrote.
“It is my hope that each of us will see this book, today and always, as it really is: more precious than all the riches in the world.”
According to Nelson, the following is the word of God and a precious truth...
21 And he had caused the cursing to come upon them, yea, even a sore cursing, because of their iniquity. For behold, they had hardened their hearts against him, that they had become like unto a flint; wherefore, as they were white, and exceedingly fair and delightsome, that they might not be enticing unto my people the Lord God did cause a skin of blackness to come upon them.
Premise 1. Eyewitness testimony is notoriously unreliable.
Premise 2. The best evidence for the Book of Mormon is eyewitness testimony.
Conclusion. Therefore, the best evidence for the Book of Mormon is notoriously unreliable.
Ha! You are trying to paint President Nelson in a bad light by tying him to this racist writing. These are just things written by a man before further light and knowledge entered the world.
After going through the B@llard thing and now seeing this, I've been watching old firing line on YouTube with William F. Buckley and his super-guest. I think the hoover institution must of put up about 100.
But being black is not a curse from God. I think we were all black once but wondered up into Northern Europe where we had less sun during the year so our skin became lighter. Science can tell us the real reason.

I’m simply taking Nelson to mean what he says - “I testify that the Book of Mormon is truly the word of God”

Coming from a man who breaks the law with hundreds of billions of dollars this is just pablum. I can't take anything he says seriously until he actually shows his thinking on the Book of Mormon being more precious than hundreds of billions of dollars that could do so much more good in the world and for the world than sitting in the stock market and land. Even his picture looks Hollywooded up.
