How does the Church talk about past explanations for the priesthood restriction?

The Short Answer

The Church teaches today that all are alike unto God (2 Nephi 26:33). The essay says the explanations people gave back then for the restriction are not Church doctrine. One of the strengths of the gospel is that revelation keeps coming — God can correct and clarify through living prophets.
