The Chinese were not godless, like many of us assume:

I know that Joseph Smith taught that Noah was the first leader of the first dynasty in China where he eventually settled with his one son and family, Japheth - after he left the area of Turkey.
I am in the middle of a massively awesome phase in my life, so the blog will be spotty for the next four weeks, or so as I transition.
Please provide the document proof that Joseph Smith taught Noah was the first leader of the first dynasty in China.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great video....i learned lots. Thank you so much.
ReplyDeleteCurious about the Joseph Smith quote. Do you have a source? I am not doubting you, but would like to explore it further. I'm intrigued. Love the blog!
ReplyDeleteMy wife is Chinese and she always mentions the similarities of the painting of the head and side posts of the entrances with lambs blood in the Ten Commandments; how they remind her if the entrances of Chinese homes have the red paint on the side posts and head. Godless comment comes from 19th century English culture encountering the Orient. The Chinese I have the most respect for, of all cultures of the earth. They are traditionally conservative - at least as long as they have not been too contaminated by either Communism or western decadence. My wife's father, who died early had three wives. My wife's Catholic sister doesn't want to speak of it. The first wife he took was someone he took in to provide for, the second he had only one daughter and her mother had four children. Those who had more were able to provide for others. Polygamy may have been one of the main reasons why they were called Godless. Ironically, monogamy, I consider to be more of the Greek - Roman cultures influence upon Christianity.
