The LDS and Homosexuality

SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints said Tuesday it would back proposed federal legislation to safeguard same-sex marriages, marking the latest show of support for the measure from conservative-leaning groups.

The nearly 17-million member, Utah-based faith said in a statement that church doctrine would continue to consider same-sex relationships to be against God’s commandments. Yet it said it would support rights for same-sex couples as long as they didn’t infringe upon religious groups’ right to believe as they choose. . . . 

The faith opposes same-sex marriage and sexual intimacy, but it has taken a more welcoming stance to LGBTQ people in recent years. In 2016, it declared that same-sex attraction is not a sin, while maintaining that acting on it was.

Mormon church backs same-sex marriage law, maintains relationships still sinful. PBS News Hour, 11/16/22

There is no need for this law except for the governments to be able to force dissenters to comply with desires of same-sex couples. The party of perversion, the Democrats, have decided that the SCOTUS decision didn’t go far enough in that it allows REAL Christians to refuse to give sanction to same-sex faux-marriage, such as florists, bakers, real churches, etc.

The LDS continues to claim it is Christian yet here they say they “would support rights of same-sex couples…” There are no rights that same-sex people have that are different from normal people except that they have been given the ungodly right to redefine what marriage is.

Also, GOD calls same-sex attraction a sin just as much as a married man becoming sexually attracted to another woman is the sin of adultery whether or not the act is committed (Matthew 5:28). For the LDS to claim homosexual attraction (i.e. desire) is not a sin, is to spit in the face of God.

This is not the first time the LDS have given homosexuality sanction. In fact, I wrote a whole post on the LDS and Homosexuality.

On 1/28/15 I also noted a previous statement by the LDS also showed their 100% support for special rights for “gays.” I wrote, The real problem here is that the Mormons pretend that “gays” don’t already have the exact same rights as everyone else, and what they really want — and are getting — are special rights base on their sexual behavior!  So, my big question is this: Why aren’t Mormons taking God’s side on this issue?

There was also my 3/5/15 article also exposing Mormon compromising with homosexuals.

And, like noted in current statement, I wrote how the LDS says one can be a Mormon and be “gay. I guess that goes along with their current claims that being “gay” isn’t a sin.

Then I told of the LDS donating $25K to an LGBTQ support group.

As noted in my post of 1/31/20:  Brigham Young University is now allowing same-sex couples to participate in a ballroom dance competition. This is giving tacit approval to homosexual relationships, contrary to God’s commands against homosexuality.

Just more evidence that the LDS is NOT a Christian faith.
