@PurestZinc I know it’s hard to read and understand the Bible for some folks. That’s OK. We have to struggle with the text of any great work. Here’s a couple versus you might think on for a bit. Maybe even pray about them and ask what God means by them. Love you, brother.

@PurestZinc It’s just logic. Either you are bagging on us for believing handicapped folks go to heaven or you are bagging on us for believing handicapped folks are healed and perfected in Christ when they reach heaven. Either way, makes you look like an idiot or a hateful person.

I've been assigned to present the fifth Sunday lesson on the USA and religious freedom to our Ward's youth. I'd appreciate any suggestions on what might be beneficial for them/ideas for how to present it. (I'm in San Antonio TX)

@ThoughtfulSaint As Elder Bednar has said, there will be no middle ground. I don’t know how this man is still a member of the church. He’s on a clear path (and has been for years) of apostasy.

Episode 892: Greg Prince Book “Gay Rights and the Mormon Church”, Episode Two My friend Greg Prince (writer, scientist, businessman, philanthropist—see bio at: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gregory_P…) joins us to talk about his book “Gay Rights and the Mormon Church: Intended Actions, Unintended Consequences” released in 2019. In this episode, Greg talks the legal efforts of the Church to stop same-sex marriage starting in Hawaii (1990), Proposition 22 (2000) and Proposition 8 (2008) in California, and other efforts—and the “Unintended Consequences” along the way. Greg takes us behind the screens to understand the Church role in and arguments against same-sex marriage—arguments that end up not being empirically defendable. Stung and surprised by the backlash against the Church for its role in Proposition 8, Greg shares the stories of reconciliation between both groups—and how that led to the Church’s support for LGBTQ+ non-discrimination protections in Utah regarding housing and employment (SB296 in 2015). Greg talks about the Church support in 2023 for the Respect for Marriage Act—sending a General Authority Seventy for the signing of the bill at the White House. I believe it is important to understand the church’s efforts against same sex marriage—and its ultimate support 32 years later for the Respect for Marriage Act. It helps me understand the needless pain for LGBTQ Latter-day Saints and their families largely driven by the culture and fearmongering of the day—and to also open our hearts and minds to future efforts to better support them. It also causes me to consider targeted groups today—like our LDS transgender friends—and not wanting to fall in the same pattern. Thank you Greg for being on the podcast and all your efforts to bring more understanding and support for LGBTQ Latter-day Saints and their families.

The problem with radical acceptance in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints: Although there is no movement that is immune to moral drift, we as members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints need to do better at recognizing movements and sentiments that are not compatible with our shared faith. Could you imagine devout followers of Jesus Christ during his mortal ministry promoting the idea that God does not care if you continue in sin or reject his teachings as long as it makes you happy? That the most important thing to God is that you are free to “express yourself” in a way that is praised by the secular world? Even if at its core it is a denial of God’s divine hand in creation of the spirit and body? It is obvious that Jesus Christ would teach that we should not judge those that have gender dysphoria, but that is only half the story. He would teach those with gender dysphoria that He loves them, but also that gender is an eternal and immutable characteristic that should not, and more importantly cannot, be changed or altered. We should love those that are confused, but we should not encourage, support, or promote confusion. The Family Proclamation is doctrine and the Lord’s revealed answers for questions regarding gender identity, same-sex marriage, and those that seek to identify as transgender. These are not open questions in the faith and they are not subject for debate. They have been settled for thousands of years. Without fully getting into the weeds this post, I’d like to ask why those who claim to be devout members such as Richard Ostler (@Papa_Ostler) would be reposting the Salt Lake Tribune’s (@sltrib) article about “LGBTQ latter-day saints” trying to find space within the church to live outside the bounds the Lord has set? Would those same members repost a puff piece about a middle-aged man seeking to find space within the church to worship multiple deities at the same time? Probably not. They would recognize that practice as a rejection of one of God’s fundamental teachings, yet they are unable to draw the same conclusion about promoting the LGBTQ movement, especially the transgender movement. According to God’s teachings, there is no such thing as a “transgender” individual, there are individuals who are confused about an essential part of their identity. They need our love and support, but both of those should be grounded in supporting and encouraging them to live according to God’s law, not participating in the game of pretend that the modern left has engaged in. This is another example of the subversion of Christlike love into a modern, and secular, idea of inclusion. If we are to love as Christ did, we ought to start by both living and teaching the principles that He teaches. There is room for all to come unto Christ and we want everyone to feel welcome at church and other social gatherings, but that does not require members to pretend that God’s laws are not eternal and that individual’s feelings supersede God’s laws and teachings. As for policies regarding bathroom usage and other sensitive areas, the feelings of the women who use them should be what is taken into account. It is not transphobic to state the reality that there are only two genders and that one's gender is eternal and that is what dictates who can use what facility. Though an individual may struggle with that identity, it is far more loving to encourage them to live according to the truth. The article by the Salt Lake Tribune contains several logical fallacies, misrepresentations, and a willful ignorance of basic church doctrine. The most egregious of which is likely the claim that there is no scriptural basis for the belief that you cannot change your gender (a biological fact) or for the belief that engaging in homosexual activity is sinful. Both of these claims are unequivocally false and I would invite all of those that reposted this article to explain why modern liberalism should supersede revelation and scripture? I would hope that those that engage in this activity in good faith will come to see that it should not, and in turn, do more to keep modern secularism out of Christ’s church.

Hillsdale College invited Erika Kirk to speak at graduation UVU, where Charlie Kirk was publicly and horrifically murdered in September, chose as its graduation speaker a woman who defamed Charlie immediately after he was killed That reflects well on Hillsdale and poorly on UVU

Mormons always ask me why I won't submit to the Book of Mormon Another Testament of Jesus Christ. So here is my answer, plain and simple. In the Bible we have the Old testament and the New testament. These are not "testimonies" like the Mormons profess, but are covenants. That's the meaning of testament. SO how do they blaspheme the God of Christianity? The name of the BOM speaks of ANOTHER testament, IE. covenant and is an overthrow of the NEW covenant that Jesus purchased with His blood. There is the blasphemy. Add to that they hold that God the father was a man of flesh and bone and that IS NOT the God of Christianity.

Former Mormon cult member here🤚 Family crossed the plains to SLC. Everyone served missions and gave into the lies. 30 years in it myself. Imagine my shock when I found out last year that this 'Book of Mormon' takes place in the Americas? Nobody in my ward knew this.

@BenBird53920553 This is a lie or you lack all listening/reading comprehension skills. Did you ever talk to a person during your mission? People on the other side of the earth who aren’t members knew about this before we talked with them.

I served a Mormon mission from 2002 - 2004. None of us missionaries knew that Joseph Smith practiced polygamy. I was never taught that as a Mormon kid. I don't think I found out until I was in my mid-twenties, and I didn't find out about it at church. I found out about it online.

“Why haven’t you ever heard of this?” Maybe cause you never looked at what is literally right on our website. Hahaha (Seriously this is taught in all Church history classes)

@andrewklavan Your post was basically “don’t take so much offense, guys” and “that vulgar musical making fun of Mormons was pretty funny.” Thanks for trying to be more fair with this. We don’t take offense as much as we’re just sick of it. Defending ourselves is a good thing.

Just so you know: this is exactly what I said in my substack post. I haven’t changed my position one bit.
Luke Hanson@LukeFHan

Andrew Klavan @andrewklavan today on the Matt Fradd Mormon controversy (shortened): "I love Matt Fradd. He's not like these hateful people just slinging mud in the name of God. But I have to say I don't agree that he should be doing this. Mormons aren't blowing people up, leave them alone. When you take away something that you disagree with in somebody else's faith, you might think you're doing something good, but you might actually be taking the step away from them that's going to lead them to something closer to the truth."

EXCLUSIVE: Senator @CurtisUT eyeing a run for Governor? His chief of staff, @IronmanCorey, tells me he's not ruling it out. "This is the reason I'm not closing the door. John Curtis will serve where the people of Utah want him to serve. If that is being governor, or if that is staying with the Senate, he will serve where the people of Utah want him."
