The sad part about some of these comments is that people's relationship and salvation with God is so dependent on an organization/religion that things like this even being hypothesized is a threat to them in some way, shape or form. My relationship with God and belief in Jesus Christ is completely detached from any organized religion that it simply doesn't matter to me what any of them decide on their so-called doctrines of salvation. I read the Bible for me personally because I don't want/need a middle-man or middle-organization rather standing in-between and rearing it's ugly head. Salvation is personal so there is absolutely no reason I need authorization from some other mortal/imperfect human to help decide my salvation. The entire concept is ridiculously asinine. Do any of you really believe that God will base someone's acceptance to Celestial glory based on a ceremony in a building over someone who actually devoted their entire life to being loving to others. Even the idea that they still have to accept the true church at some point just to get in is so ridiculous. It's absolutely petty. Who you become is monumentally more important than making sure you've checked the "covenant path" boxes. Many who check those boxes haven't become loving. Of course those ordinances are to help them to become loving, but that's reliant on conformity. If someone's mission in life is to help innovate a way to cure cancer and never affiliate with the church in this life or the next and don't accept it any point, that's a pretty petty God if you ask me. I utterly refuse to believe in that kind of God. Someone motivated by love to cure cancer or other things is what its all about, not going through some "priesthood authority" to be "allowed" to live with God and your family. That's not a loving God in anyway. "you believed in the catholic christ, sorry no eternal family for you" "Oh your family was baptized and kids later married in the temple but stopped attending church weekly, sorry can't live with them." That's a heartless God.

It seems like 30 years ago, we were taught murder, suicide, and denying God was "game over". Now, we are taught that LDS people who engage in "suicide or murder" can be forgiven by God. Think about the temple recommend holding LDS man from an area near Cedar City who murdered his whole family last year...is it "game over" for him? Most LDS people think not. Looks like the "bar has been lowered" since my earlier days as a Latter Day Saint. To me, suicide, murder, denying God, denying the gospel, temple married person cheating on wife (after holy commitments made with the Lord in the holy temple), pedophile church leaders are all worst then two same-gender adult couples living a homosexual life. At the end of the day, most of the world's population (regardless of religion, nationality, sexual orientation, etc) will be "punished", but will make it back to so-call "heaven" (Celestial, Terrestrial, or Telestial kingdoms)...due to the grace of the Lord and law of repentance.

However, Christian’s in the U.S. is dying and ironically people can have open polygamous lifestyles and society now doesn’t bat an eye. Mormons need to stand firm and society around will indeed change, but they can whether it. Also Mormons are a lot more powerful now than they were back then to resist change.

God does not change. God's nature does not change. You have to go by God's word and the scriptures. There are several references in the old and new testaments pertaining to homosexual interactions. It's very specific writing. Homosexuality is condemned by God. Not the feelings, but the actions. This is not because God doesn't love everyone equally. It is because it goes against natural law and therefore has consequences. Medically speaking, there are countless reasons why homosexual activity, particularly in males, leads to disease. Many laws exist to protect us, even if we don't like their restrictions. I don't believe that homosexuals choose their feelings. But as free agents, all human beings can choose their actions and lifestyles. The Mormon church seems to be constantly changing their rules. That's just not even logically ideal, much less spiritually. God loves us and we are saved by grace, not by works. But the sexual sins are on a category of their own because God's word says that they are sins against our own bodies and therefore they have more severe consequences. Again, God still loves us, but for every action there is a natural law reaction. As for the Mormon church accepting gay marriage, perhaps, but that would go against its family teachings. In gay relationships, there cannot be natural offspring. However, there is a lot of money in the gay community, and having church faithful gay members would greatly add to the loot....

Yes. Any religious mythology must adapt to society at some point in order to maintain relevance and to avoid conflict with civil rights groups and governmental friction for holding outdated, discriminatory beliefs and translating them into organizational policy. “God’s Law” is the law of the men who currently act as the representatives and curators of LDS mythology, in much the same way that the Pope, Cardinals etc. act as the curators of Catholic mythology. Give it time, churches come around to societal betterment like the acceptance and full social integration of gay people into society. The church’s approach to gays has changed so much even in my short thirty years on the planet. When I was in the young men, open disgust and hatred of gays was still socially acceptable, and so the leaders treated it that way. Nowadays, leaders and members have attempted to incorporate a friendlier, more “compassionate” (at least on the surface) approach to gays overall and members who suffer from “SSA”. In two or three decades’ time, that’s my guess anyway, in order to avoid being labeled a hate group, the church will allow gay members to fully participate in the church as fully realized people who are allowed to be gay AND upstanding members of Mormon society albeit in a monogamous, highly patriarchal structure similar to the current exclusively heterosexual institution of marriage that reigns supreme. Wait until the Millennials begin to take the highest positions in the church hierarchy, then you’ll see the changes start to happen.

Brother@ The Chuch has to comply with ALL governmental deceees no matter what the subject matter is. Otherwise, it's illegal and the Church will never put itself in this position and put its members in illegal position. Plus laws vary from one country to the next. Wherever the Chuch is legally in it has to comply with the laws of the country it's in. While Polygamy is wildly debated by non mormons. Remember one thing. It's about selflessness. About the priesthood, it was a political issue so it was outside the Church control. Same sex marriage, you will need to revise the entire Bible first. Cos the Bible is CLEARLY anti-queer in this debate. That's the first filter you need to cross line with before touching the Chuch. You can identify as "queer" in the Chuch but you can't act on it. Remember it's about protecting the family unit as prescribed in scripture. Not about "social emancipation". In other words, about promoting a program for selfish reasons.

I wonder if priesthood for women will ever become a thing. On the one hand, they changed the doctrine for black people so they could now receive it, so perhaps they could do the same for women. On the other hand, I struggle to imagine the leaders being willing to concede any power to women, ever. Gay temple marriages are probably more likely, actually.

Women do have significant leadership roles in the church and without women in those roles, much of the work of salvation would cease to be done. Also, did you know that women officiate in priesthood ordinances in the temple?

@@briddle1978 So why can't they officiate in priesthood ordinances outside of the temple?

That would be the end for TMBs.

Nope

Will the church accept gay polygamy ?🤨

Nope. It goes against the entire purpose of God's plan; "to bring about the immortality and eternal life of man." This process can only survive if men and women have families. I support everyone's right of agency but that doesn't change the plan of salvation.

Honestly, I can respect this perspective. While I want the LGBTQ community to receive better treatment and support, I agree that allowing them to marry in the temple contradicts everything I was taught at church growing up.

What a disturbing past and yet its so important now to be pure and perfect...fancy that!!!..

The church never should have compromised on Celestial Marriage then, and they shouldn't compromise now. Looking into the 1886 Revelation, maybe it's time to look for the Priesthood in another lineage of prophets.

Yeah right

NO

Won't happen. Leviticus 20:13 If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them. The polygamy argument is a non-starter. God allowed polygamy in the OT. The BOM says it is not preferred, but allowed in extreme circumstances.

Deuteronomy 22:28-39 28 If a man happens to meet a virgin who is not pledged to be married and rapes her and they are discovered, 29 he shall pay her father fifty shekels[a] of silver. He must marry the young woman, for he has violated her. He can never divorce her as long as he lives. Let's not use the Bible as a moral authority hun, it's an evil book

So which GA are you claiming will go against scripture, doctrine, and modern church authorities over the past 190 years?

I think that is some huge wishful thinking. You had some good points, but you got the History of Polygamy wrong. If you really understood what most older males in the church look fondly on the future day when polygamy is re-instated. It is not going to happen. I suggest you just walk away with whatever dignity you have left.

Plural marriage: practiced in the scriptures. Priesthood restrictions based on genealogy: practiced in the scriptures. Gay temple marriage: never practiced in the scriptures. You’re giving false hope. Stop it

God said same sex relations are unnatural and an abomination. Truth is eternal, God is perfect and does not change! Romans chapter 1.

bull.

Based on the corporate bottom line

Polygamy and blacks obtaining the Priesthood have absolutely nothing to do with so-called gay marriage. I say so-called because anything involving something other than men and women married is not marriage at all, but a perversion. It amazes me how left-leaning members conflate the issues of priesthood and the doctrine of polygamy with being gay. Polygamy is between men and women - always! And when and how the priesthood is granted is not a matter of whimsy but follows doctrinal necessity. The men under Moses (certainly the prophets had priesthood, but that's another matter) excepting the Levites were all denied the priesthood until the time of the meridian saints.

Sadly, we are on the pathway for it to happen. This will defile the temple and its purpose. Since God is the same yesterday, today and forever it will be unjust for God to condemn this practice in the past and reverse it now.

This will NEVER happen ! STOP deceiving people !

Yes it is very likely at some point

FWIW, I don't believe Joseph was a polygamist. I know, I know, the church narrative says that he was, but a deeper dive into history would suggest otherwise.

Contents nowadays leads you to confusion. It is important to research your own.

Yeah, the doctrine of eternal families will broaden to include the modern family in heaven. The sealings that have happened from the churches' beginning are a complete stew. I reckon everyone will be sealed to everyone. it's a joke.

These changes were from scriptures and society and the scriptures don’t support gay marriage. Yes polygamy was commanded in the Bible during the law of Moses.

Doctrine, theology, practices, etc. change so much in the LDS church in order to go along with the times that it won’t surprise me at all if it happens.

It always comes down to money doesn't it?

@giuliom3564 let me get the strawman out of the way. I don't believe the world is flat. As far as Joseph Smith practicing polygamy. If you dive into the actual evidence and sources, you will find gapping holes in the narrative and problematic sources that have been altered. The reality is that there is no actual contemporary evidence and that Joseph, Hyrum, Emma, and many others only fought against it. They published articles in the newspaper, gave sermons condemning it, they canonized scripture, and excommunicated members for practicing it. The evidence points to Brigham Young and associates as the primary practitioners.
