I had a very thought provoking discussion with a friend of mine the other day.  I'd like to highlight the thoughts for discussion.

1) The reason for Blacks and the Priesthood Ban was because the Church didn't have proper resources to expand into Africa until we did.  If more blacks were not only baptized, but ordained, there would have been so many of them that wanted to go on missions to Africa, that the church's resources would have been depleted. And we'd be unable to support them there.  Some holes in this theory.  But it does have some merits as well.

 

Your buddy is way off the course on this one, his theory has no merit. 

I have my opinions on as to why Blacks were banned from holding the priesthood, those theories do not play well in this forum.
