I love the Bible, but if it were all I had, I could not be a Christian. It is so flawed.

http://www.blacksinthescriptures.com/ I am not advocating buying their stuff, but if you want a black Mormon's interpretation on this specific issue i thought you might be interested. An aside I do know Marvin Perkins personally. The selling of these materials is not his primary source of income. He works in sales for a Pharmacuetical company I believe. |

I'm not arrogant enough to pretend I know what God will or will not do and why or why not. Thus, it's entirely possible to me. I have no concrete reason to disbelieve that little tidbit and yet at the same time believe the rest of the Book of Mormon.

I don't know. They address cursings in both the bible and the Book of Mormon. I think they contend that the skin cursing in general (both the Bible and Book of Mormon) is not as explicit as you indicate. I have not seen their fireside nor have I purchased their materials but they do take their audience in a journey through the footnotes of these scriptures.
