Same-sex marriage coming to Utah

[TripletDaddy]

PRNITMRWI? yea or nay?

[Maximus]

This means that a gay couple with children who wish to join the Church must divorce before baptism. Apparently the kids would be better off with only one parent in the home. Missionary work among gay parents is going to plummet!

Still wouldn't be ok since the parents had been in a former same sex relationship.

2nd A of F to be amended

The Bible will also be amended.

Jesus said,*suffer the little children, and forbid them not, to come unto me: for of such is the kingdom of heaven. Unless their parents are gay, then tell them they are not welcome.

If a child has a father who is a convincted child rapist and a mother that traffics minors into the sex trade, the child could be blessed in the LDS church. Obviously, the blessing would need to be done by someone else.

If a child has 2 law abiding married male parents, hell no, don't bless that child.

The bible is only scripture when translated correctly and as a companion to the Book of Mormon. No need to amend.

I doubt convicted felons would care if their child was blessed. Also if the mom is trafficking minors her own child is probably included.

I've seen a baby blessed that was born out of wedlock to a single mother, which mother was shacking up with some other guy. Of course it was the grandpa that blessed the kid. I've seen the kid of an excommunicated member get baptized. I'm still trying to figure out why a 16 year old kid that just happens to have two moms can't get baptized. It's not like he doesn't know his moms are living in the Mormon definition of sin after having gone through the missionary discussions.

Again, weird.

How many of you were this upset when polygamist children were told the same thing?

I hope you are outraged.

I've long thought that is a stupid policy. It's obviously there to distance the church from the polygamy perception...which is funny since we still do polygamous sealings in the temple. Of course, I imagine that policy was put in place well before I was born, so my outrage didn't just happen in one night...it's been ongoing.

Imagine you are a girl growing up in a same-sex marriage home.
You go to church with a friend and start to believe in the gospel. You gain a testimony. You are baptised. A few months later, the lesson is reinforced in church that same-sex marriage is an abomination to God and share this with your parents. Suddenly there is intense friction in your home because you believe your parents are evil and you want them to break up. You want your parents to change. Your parents become furious at the church and are hurt because their child is being turned against them by the Mormon cult. They forbid any contact with the church, they tell their child she can't go to church anymore, and they start showing her anti-Mormon propaganda. In a couple of years, the girl hates the church so much because it tried to break apart her family. It seems to me that this is what the church is trying to avoid.

This makes sense. Seems like a very plausible scenario. I'm glad the church had the foresight on this one...

I guess I'm in the minority in that I don't see this as a big deal. It's no surprise that the Church will have policies like this when they've made it clear that gay marriage is in direct conflict with core doctrine.

November surprise!

How about it is a big deal as it is inconsistent with LDS church doctrine.

34 Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword.

35 For I am come to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in law.

36 And a man’s foes shall be they of his own household.

37 He that loveth father or mother more than me is not worthy of me: and he that loveth son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me.
