In 1978, the Priesthood was extended to all worthy males regardless of their race or ethnicity but what was the reason that were not able to have it prior to 1978? (in your opinion)

Because they are the descendants of Cain.

Is this your opinion or just the opinion of one of our early Church leaders? I do not consider this to be "doctrinal" at all.

Yes, Brigham Young as well as others said so...but again Brigham said so many "interesting" things.  Tongue

That's true.  Does anyone have a copy of the Journals of Discourses?

A lot of it it's just pure speculation.  We don't know for sure the answer to that.

It's not speculation at all.  If you study the Gospel you will find it, I have found some stuff, just can't think of it.
