    The answer is a resounding “yes!” The “Mormons”, or more appropriately, Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, “believe that through the Atonement of Christ, all mankind may be saved, by obedience to the laws and ordinances of the Gospel.” (Faith being the first principle of the Gospel.) (Articles of Faith 3).

    You might have thought it otherwise because up until September 30, 1978, anyone that descended from Ham (Genesis 9:18) could not receive the priesthood of God, because Ham and his posterity were denied that right when Noah, his father, cursed him (Genesis 9:25).

    In 1978, that curse was removed and the priesthood was extended to all male worthy members.

    (Please note that in interpretation of scripture I take full responsibility for this information, and do not speak for the Church or its leadership.)

    If you want to know more, go to www.mormon.org or lds.org, and for more specific questions, you can contact official representatives of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in your area.

    Absolutely. God loves ALL his children and wants as many home with him as are willing to come.

    Of course they do!
    Next Q!

    They believe that God loves all men everywhere - "black and yellow, red and white, all are precious in His sight; Jesus loves the little children [and Big] of the world"

    I can tell you quite plainly, there will be no Black people in heaven! Actually, that is because the day will come when there will be no Black people at all, period. Perhaps I should explain..in 1978 the Lord removed the curse from the "Seed of Cain." and now all worthy righteous men may hold the Priesthood. However, the "Mark" placed upon Cain and his posterity will remain until after the resurrection. In other words whatever condition we were in when layed into the earth at death, is the same condition we will rise from the grave. Babies will still be babies, etc. Black, white, yellow,will still be the same when they first arise. But when we go through the change from mortal to immortal, our bodies, skin color and everything will change and we will all be white and delightsome. Babies however will remain babies, until they grow to adulthood, which is another story. But everyone will be judged according to their works and will receive the reward they have merited on earth.
    Sso yes! All people will be given that heaven they deserve, according to their works done here on earth...Later
