The 3 Mormons discuss Blacks and the Priesthood once again! We received many questions from the first episode and decided to answer those questions in this follow-up episode. 

There is a difference between doctrine and policy in the LDS Church, as is explained by Ian. The ban on blacks holding the priesthood was not core doctrine, it was simply policy. 

The Bible also has examples of policy vs doctrine. Ian talks about the apostle Paul in the Bible who was told to teach the gospel to all people. However, Paul interpreted the commandment in different ways. Thankfully, Christ continuously comes back to help interpret the commandments. 

The interpretation of the commandment doesn't diminish the calling of the prophets and apostles. Though they are fallible people, they are not perfect. 

We have been promised that there will no longer be an apostasy. God will use our hands on earth in order to accomplish his work before the second coming. 

Many people have asked Kwaku about his reconciliation with the church's prior ban on blacks holding the priesthood. Kwaku says that he belongs to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. He does not belong to the Church of any other prophet or person.
