Ye are correct, but individual saints can apply the gospel for themselves, be not afraid to go against the leaders so you can abide the gospel, for it is the words of the Father and Son shall give ye life not the words of men who are in error.Lizzy60 wrote: ↑May 22nd, 2019, 3:16 pmYes, it's pretty clear he is going to be looking for a same-sex relationship. Otherwise, why the divorce. By the way, the majority of comments on the Deseret news article are positive. He's so brave, blah, blah, blah.Serragon wrote: ↑May 22nd, 2019, 3:07 pmThere is nothing quite so heroic as a man who destroys his family in pursuit of his natural man. Nearly brings a tear to my to see such courage.Lizzy60 wrote: ↑May 22nd, 2019, 2:24 pm Nathan Ivie, Utah County Commissioner, came out as gay this week. He and his wife are divorcing (two young children) so he can be authentic to the person God made him to be.
And yes, he talked about his suicide attempt, because, you know, we haters need to be told that we are responsible for making gays want to kill themselves.

I predict that when he marries another man, the Church will not excommunicate him. Too big of a black eye. We are witnessing the infiltration of one of the most depraved sins into the rank and file of the Church. Good being called evil, and evil being celebrated as good. Isaiah saw our day, as did Mormon.
There is nothing that would so soon weaken my hope and discourage me as to see this people in full fellowship with the world, and receive no more persecution from them because they are one with them. In such an event, we might bid farewell to the Holy Priesthood with all its blessings, privileges, and aids to exaltations, principalities, and powers in the eternities of the Gods.” Brigham Young April 8, 1862 (JD 10:32)
I am led, likewise, to preach the things of this world and to accept things that are NOT of God, how easy it would be for me to lead you astray! But I say to you, live so that you will know for yourselves whether I tell the truth or not.” Brigham Young (J.D. 18:248)
I told the people that if they would not believe the revelations that God had given, He would suffer the devil to give revelations, Have I seen this fulfilled? I have. I told the people that as true as God lived, if they would NOT have truth, they would have error sent unto them and they would believe it." Brigham Young (Deseret News, June 8, 1873; 2 Thes. 2:10-12)
“It is the L. D. Saints who have transgressed the laws, change the ordinance, broke the everlasting covenant.” Joseph Fielding Smith (Deseret News, Church Section, Oct. 17, 1936)
When we undertake to cover our sins, or to gratify our pride, our vain ambition, or to exercise control or dominion or compulsion upon the souls of the children of men, in ANY degree of unrighteousness, behold, the heavens withdraw themselves; the Spirit of the Lord is grieved; and when it is withdrawn, Amen to the priesthood or the authority of that man.” (D&C 121:37)
As soon as someone boasts they have priesthood, it is immediately amended. As soon as someone judges another person and bases it on them having a recommended their power no longer is, many in these days think they have the power of God, but it is long withdrawn. But God can work with a powerless people and do as he wills with the baptisms, just the rest of things will be revealed in a time they worked iniquity in their own ways. Now again all must repent.
This was foreknown even by the founders of the church what would come and did.
