- (AM) The Language Barrier -- When one becomes a Mormon their blood physically changes to Jewish blood. Bruce R. McConkie explains:
- By the law of adoption those who receive the gospel and obey its laws, no matter what their literal blood lineage may have been, are adopted into the lineage of Abraham. . . . to purge out the old blood, and make him actually of the seed of Abraham (Mormon Doctrine, 23 )
- That this adoption involves a literal change in the convert's blood was plainly taught by the Prophet (ibid., p. 390).
