Theres a group who call themselves the Restoration Church of Jesus Christ. These wastes of flesh have taken it upon themselves to perform Temple ceremonies "sealing" homosexuals together in an "eternal companionship"

This is mocking God and his priesthood. This is what they want the LDS church to accept!

From their site:
Sexuality

A thorough study of the scriptures, along with recent revelations from the Lord, lead us to the solid conclusion that sexuality, in and of itself, is not bad. Like all good things, however, the Lord has wisely established limitations on its usage.

The Restoration Church of Jesus Christ teaches that sexual activity is appropriate only when it takes place between loving individuals, and only in circumstances where love and mutual respect exist. Any activity which violates the sanctity of other relationships of the parties involved is adulterous, and is always inappropriate.

The Church strongly encourages the formation of coupled relationships. Such relationships, regardless of the genders or orientations of the individuals involved, may be sealed for time and all eternity in the Lord's holy temple.


Yes they have their own version of the Doctrine and Covenants called "The Hidden Treasures and Promises" which they use to justify their corrupt teachings.

Every aspect of homosexuality is in direct confrontation with the teachings of the gospel. Gods name he has chosen to be known by is Father. The gospel is family centered, and a homosexual relationship is incapable of producing a family.

If these political hardliners who are seeking to meet with the prophet in an effort to change his mind are that far gone in their delusions and perversions it would be better for them die than to continue in their sin which is a cancer on their ever living soul.

Sort of like how baptisms for the dead mock deceased Catholics and Jews?

Sort of like how the LDS church wants Catholics and Jews to accept continued baptisms of their ancestors for the dead?

Gaz, what is happening Brother? There is no moral benefit to digging oneself into a pit. God has love for everyone. Why not seek to be a harbinger of that love or at least refrain from sending out hateful messages?

Gaz,

See how strongly you oppose this group because you think they're leading people AWAY from truth, they have their own versions of scripture, etc? That's exactly how strongly some EV's feel about Mormonism.

Just sayin'

6 But whoso shall offend one of these little ones which believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea.

D&C 121
18 And those who swear falsely against my servants, that they might bring them into bondage and death—
19 Wo unto them; because they have offended my little ones they shall be severed from the ordinances of mine house.
20 Their basket shall not be full, their houses and their barns shall perish, and they themselves shall be despised by those that flattered them.
21 They shall not have right to the priesthood, nor their posterity after them from generation to generation.
22 It had been better for them that a millstone had been hanged about their necks, and they drowned in the depth of the sea.

Shades,

I can prove baptism for the dead from scripture and early christian writings. Homosexuals sealing up gay marriages in a mockery of sacred ordinances is something else entirely.

"A living Prophet, a moving vehicle of the Lord's..." Could be a, "creeping, crawling thing mired in the mud of prehistoric ignorance and arrogance..." Cancer, too is living.

While LDSism seemed to equate with the romance of the 1950's, it is currently displaying itself incapable of self-analysis and retro-fitting its vehicle. Which is demonstrated publicly by its chief MDB proponent, GAZ of Vegas. Or is it incapable?

That there will be a "meeting" demonstrates that ALL TBM Admins do not hold as tight to the "Iron Rod" as does GAZ. IF anything, THE church is a savvy survivor... !978 Priesthood to Blacks; modify garments; eliminate blood-&-gore from Temple Rituals; up-grade real-estate holdings; continue the cost-effectiveness of non-paid, part-time, amature-personnel as a bottom-line requesit, with little regard to the inability of such personnel-effectiveness to deal with member problems... Sure the church will change, AoF # 9... Warm regards, Roger

So Gaz, what would you think of me if I were to come out and say that I'm gay? And how would your opinion change if I said that I was totally straight and was dating someone? Just wondering because you seem to think that gay people are sinful and evil.

If you were Gay? Then Id say you had a serious law of chastity problem.

Straight and dating someone? I would hope that you would be able to keep your hands off each other until after you could both enter into the covenant of marriage.

Homosexuals are living in sin. They are actively engaged in a perversion. I don't think this is a difficult concept.
