Yes, I read the full article. I have watched the video of the interview. I KNOW that homosexual sex is a deviant evil practice. A sham marriage makes it even more blasphemous. Any person who thinks there is any case where gay marriage can be supported is condoning some level of a deviant sinful practice. There is no leeway in God's eyes on this subject.Mark wrote: ↑December 11th, 2018, 7:25 amLizzy60 wrote: ↑December 9th, 2018, 2:27 pm Elder D Todd Christofferson:
LDS are free to support gay marriage on social media without losing their temple recommends.

This is your example? Did you read the full article? Let me quote the last couple lines for you:
"Could there be a time when the LDS Church would change its position on gay marriage?
The apostle was unequivocal.
Nope, he said."
Case closed. The Brethren will not change their views of the sanctity of marriage as between a man and a women and the need for obedience to the law of chastity. Their will be no "reset" on Gods moral laws governing behavior. There will be no split among the quorum of the 12 as you surmise. You are just trying to create controversy and division where there is none. You seem to enjoy doing that.
How would you feel if an Apostle said it's okay (your temple recommend is not in jeopardy) to support swinger's clubs? How about adultery? How about pedophilia? Remember, you are not participating yourself, just promoting the belief that these things are just fine and dandy for others because they happened to be born with a deviant sexual desire.
Seriously, I am still ASHAMED that an Apostle would give members of this church "permission" to condone any sort of deviant sexual sin. And you see the results -- these members have now formed lots of groups who have organized all sorts of programs and activities for any and all LGBTQ young people. I predict many hookups and partnerships have been, and will continue to be formed.
Stick around. It's only going to get more blatant. The camel has far more than his nose in the tent.
