Changes made to Mormon Doctrine
Posted by dashagua on .
Time to give you the answer before you ask the question.
Things that could possibly be construed as changes to mormon doctrine:
Blacks and the Priesthood -> Blacks were given the Priesthood in the late 1970s. President Spencer W. Kimball had previously echoed the belief of many of his forerunners that blacks would one day be granted the priesthood. We don't view this as a change of docrine any more than Christians see Peter's revelation that the Gospel should be preached to the Gentiles as a change of doctrine.
Polygamy -> Not practiced, but we've never renounced it. As far as I can tell, it's still officially part of the doctrine of the church, though it's current practice is condemned.
Rebaptisms -> An early practice in the church without doctrinal foundation. A few other quirky early church practices fit under this category as well; they are of little consequence to us, as none of them were practiced (from my knowledge) according to any revelation or any iota of scripture.
Come up with something else. Come on, I'm waiting. Truth be told, there are NO changes to Mormon Doctrine. There have been fewer changes to our doctrine than any Protestant church in the world as well as in the Roman Catholic Church. That's not a valid argument, Syntax.

Wait, those were the six bronze plates found in Illinois that were fake. Gold plates, bronze plates, it's so hard to keep track. Bottom line is, Smith was a loser, he wanted to be special, so he made stuff up. Then again, so many changes have been made to the Mormon doctrine to cover up the loopholes that it's hardly even his religion anymore.
