  • 58 Skin of Blackness and Mormon Apologetics
    Oct 11 2024

    In this gripping third installment of our series, we dive deep into the Book of Mormon to unravel the true meaning of the cursed “Skin of Blackness." Are recent apologetic theories—claiming it's just paint, dark coats, or tattoos—offering genuine insights, or are they merely attempts to gloss over the text's troubling implications? Join us as we confront these arguments head-on and question whether we should trust the prophets or the apologists. Don’t miss this eye-opening discussion!

  • 57: Skin of Blackness: The Book of Mormon Curse
    Sep 20 2024

    In this episode, we dive into part two of our exploration of the "skin of blackness" mentioned in the Book of Mormon.

    Historically, leaders of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints identified Native Americans as the Lamanites.

    But as we approach the early 2000s, new theories have emerged. Could the "skin of blackness" refer to paint, tattoos, or dark animal skins? Join us as we unpack these intriguing ideas and their implications for understanding the text.

  • 56: How Modern Mormons Still Defend Racist Scripture
    Aug 2 2024

    Can ancient scripture be reinterpreted to erase racism? Mormon apologists are attempting just that with controversial “skin of blackness” passages in the Book of Mormon. But can these efforts stand up to historical scrutiny, or do they merely obscure uncomfortable truths? Critics argue it whitewashes history and denies lived experiences. Join us as we critically examine how modern LDS apologists attempt to explain away racist teachings in early Mormon history and scripture by comparing their modern interpretations with the information they avoid most strenuously–the original words and primary sources of the doctrines to begin with.
