Is being gay a sin according to your religion?

[sojourner]

nevermind

Whatever, but if you're here to expand yourself, "nevermind" isn't going to cut it. I do get what you're saying, but I think it's a rather flat way of looking at the world.

that is the reason i said nevermind.
Your only motivation for talking to me seems to be to correct me.
I don't need correcting.
I am happy to learn but these lessons i can do without.

 

[Ingledsva]

It's definitely one of the best resources! I love it.

Her links have always been great too.

Well, this is a debate forum. I disagree with what you propose here. It doesn't quite ring true.

There is no debate as to what the truth is if you are learning from your soul.

Not to be rude, but why are you here then? This is a debate forum.

Then post in the DIR instead of the debate forums. In the debate forums, you're going to get... debate.

And even truth can be debated, due to differing perspectives.

your not being rude.
I see your point.

I will be moving on now.

So obviously then, you are going to go back and try to prove your words? And actually prove me wrong rather then just claiming it? Yes?

Hi Ingledsva, I did prove my words by my post. I answered the question in this thread. My church is against same sex attraction and same sex marriage. I quoted scripture to support my opinion as well. What else would you like to debate about my post?

My church is against same sex attraction and same sex marriage.

So you honestly think people can "choose" what they are inwardly attracted to?

Not sure how you can be against an attraction, especially one that even psycharicists recognize is innate and unchangeable. As for scripture, I could easily show that the 'scriptures' (I prefer writings) are not against homosexuality, though I suspect the LDS Church will change its stance yet again at some time in the future.

"Moving the Goal Posts" in Mormon circles is more a theological construction than a logical fallacy.

It's either that, or lose all of those young millennials that religion tries so hard to appeal to.

Indeed. I am glad the youth of today are so illumined in their insight and in deed. They are idealistic about peace, equality, unity, and charity- all spiritual qualities that bring humanity near the divine light.

I doubt very much that the LDS Church will ever say that homosexual acts are not sinful. I can see the time, though, when they will be less involved in such human rights issues as same-sex marriage.

Following the recent Utah ruling that same-sex marriage is now legal, Mormon Apostle, Dallin H. Oaks (who was, prior to being called to his current Church position, Justice of the Utah Supreme Court), said the following:

“When our positions do not prevail, we should accept unfavorable results graciously, and practice civility with our adversaries.”

Yes, I think we must all be civil whatever the case.

LOL!


You are going to have to tell me which of my posts you actually meant to answer?


That one was a reply to Bible Student, clear back on page 24, post # 236!


Are you both Norman, and Bible Student?

I still do not understand your response to the question which was regarding how a lgbtq relationship could effect spiritual growth.
