BCSpace Posted March 1, 2012 Posted March 1, 2012 (edited) I would say a web site like the Church's is almost constantly up to date, to within days or minutes. And anything published thereon, especially in that context, is the latest and greatest....Seriously? You're arguing that everytime the church website refreshes it counts as a new pronouncement of doctrine?No. But even you will admit that a web site can be changed far quicker than a paper publication.If that's true, then you must admit that the newsroom statement issued today is just as current because it also is constantly refreshed.I have no problem with the newsroom statement. It doesn't change anything I've said. It doesn't present any new doctrine. It doesn't contradict any old doctrine.Once again, this is today's statement: "It is not known precisely why, how, or when this restriction began in the Church"Does not change the Church's doctrine that continues to exist:http://www.lds.org/s...e-1978?lang=engNotice that why is not answered there either. Other peoples have rejected God and notice that even the Lamanites were not banned from the priesthood when they joined in BoM times or modern times. The doctrine of the ban may have been explained by other doctrine but nowhere has doctrine EVER stated exactly why this particular lineage was singled out or why it lasted when or as long as it did.
