Theology of marriage
For those that oppose Prop 8, are you rethinking your view of what eternal marriage is, i.e. does marriage in the eternities necessarily involve a man and a woman (I guess I have to include "at least" one of each)? Or do you think the Church may someday redefine/clarify what eternal marriage involves?
For me, the issue about Prop 8 involves the involvement of the church in politics but I get the sense from some that they feel like the Church's definition of marriage needs to change as well. |

Temple work
Here's a question worth pondering: Let's say a man who was raised by two married gay parents joins the Church in 25 years. His parents are dead. He wants to do temple work for them. What does the Church say to him?
I don't pretend to know the answer. It's just a fascinating question. |

Fascinating question, exactly how? God is no respecter of persons, if you have faith the LDS Church is true than you would know that he is not going to allow same sex marriage throughout the eternities. Prop. 8 may lose in Ca, but it will not make the church change it's position no matter how many of you feel the church is wrong and should allow same sex marriages in the temple. But hey you guys keep wishing upon your lucky stars that it will happen..... |
I think we have a failure to communicate here

I agree though that the sealing issue is a fascinating question. Christ said what ye seal on earth shall be sealed in heaven. However, modern prophets say the sealing is merely a promise, and a person must remain worthy until judgment day in order for that promise to be realized. So why not allow dead homosexual couples to be sealed? If their relationship is found unworthy on the day of judgment, so be it. Conversely, church leaders could essentially say "we are so confident that homosexual marriage will be deemed unworthy, that we're not even going to waste our time doing those sealings." And that statement would have to come from the mouth of the same church that allowed Adolph Hitler's temple work to be performed multiple times. |
