Doctrine & Covenants Section 163:7c
It is not pleasing to God when any passage of scripture is used to diminish or oppress races, genders or classes of human beings. Much physical and emotional violence has been done to some of God's beloved children through the misuse of scripture. The church is called to confess and repent of such attitudes and practices.
