LDS Scriptures Condemn Proposition 8?

Post by _asbestosman »

Does the following condemn proposition 8?
D&C 49:15 And again, verily I say unto you, that whoso forbiddeth to marry is not ordained of God, for marriage is ordained of God unto man.


(yes, I believe I'm twisting the scriptures, but I wondered what others think)

How does that square with the Old Testament where God said to Moses, "Let there be Adam and Eve, not Adam and Steve"?
Mormonism ceased being a compelling topic for me when I finally came to terms with its transformation from a personality cult into a combination of a real estate company, a SuperPac, and Westboro Baptist Church. - Kishkumen

Steve was Eve's name before the fall?

Are you suggesting the talking snake wasn't dealing with a women as such, rather a pre-op transexual?

Heavens no. I'm suggesting that Eve and Steve may have been gender neutral names in Adamic--something akin to Pat or Chris.
