Ychat Pictures

These are pictures of chatters that used to frequent 'Y-chat', a chat room in BYU university that helped LDS Singles from around the world to meet. The images are of poor quality as many did not have the advanced graphic programs and scanners of today. That is how the owners of this site met. Since then most of us have moved on, but you can still keep in touch with us through the above links. All of them are sites managed by us, and yes, we have our own chat room and Community now with a LDS Deep Doctrine Board and a LDS Singles Section.

Mormon Doctrine News: Is Cain Bigfoot?
QUOTE
It seems the best defense from believing something uncomfortable is to discredit Abraham O. Smoot. Can I just say that it is sad to criticize someone who is long dead, when they were never criticized in similar fashion in life? After reading the post smearing Brother Smoot, I did some research on the internet and found only complimentary information about him.


I apologize if I got my people mixed up. I should have checked my source before posting. It is not Smoot that I am referring too but rather the original source is based on David Patten’s story of encountering Cain, whom he described as very tall and covered in dark hair, in 1835, as described in a letter published in Lycurgus Wilson’s biography of Patten. Spencer Kimball copied the letter in Miracle of Forgiveness. It is Patton's diary that is always seen as kind of suspect. There is also similar stories that are very similar like all urban myths. I am not sure why Spencer Kimball added it to his book, but it is just a bad source to quote from.
It is all folklore and myth that is a reflection of 19th century ideas of evil and race. There is no doctrine about Cain and I do not think you would get any of the 12 to say different. In the Hebrew the "mark" talked about in Genesis literally means a brand, or a tattoo. It is nothing to do with a physical change of of skin color or appearance. It is a racist notion left over from the 19th century. Ask any rabbi or Hebrew scholar and they will tell you that Cain's mark was not a skin color change or any Bigfoot transformation.
