| 00:56.04 | homemadejam | I'm struggling to understand all this marriage stuff that is kicking off at the moment. What is the churches problem with it? |
| 00:56.46 | homemadejam | The only marraige that is 'correct' in the eyes of God is between a man and a woman. So if a man marries a man, or a woman to a woman, it's not true marriage |
| 00:56.52 | homemadejam | So what's the problem? :S |
| 00:57.35 | homemadejam | I'm not trying to spark some debate off here! I am genuinely confused at what all the fuss is about |
| 02:56.10 | klys_ | I think the best summary is from recent conference addresses. at least the last two general conferences have talks that address it. |
| 03:41.20 | klys_ | https://www.lds.org/general-conference/2013/04/marriage-watch-and-learn?lang=eng |
| 03:47.27 | klys_ | the following talks use the term gender in an advice capacity: 1987/04/spiritual-security 1993/10/the-great-plan-of-happiness 1995/10/a-strategy-for-war 1999/10/beware-of-false-prophets-and-false-teachers 2000/10/ye-are-the-temple-of-god 2006/10/he-heals-the-heavy-laden |
| 03:58.44 | klys_ | the basic trouble I see is that when say, two marry in new york, then move to nevada, and one attempts to gain a temple reccomend for sealing to a partner, the bishop would have to point out that she first needs to obtain a divorce. I know that's a dodgy example because she is likely to admit it, though I hope I'm getting at what you said. |
| 06:05.51 | resplin_ | Throughout time the Church has encouraged institutions which promote righteous living and spiritual happiness. Same sex marriage does not. |
| 06:06.17 | resplin_ | A marriage between a man and a woman is the best place to rear children, and deserves special protection. |
| 06:06.46 | resplin_ | Oh, I guess homemadejam isn't around to get that. |
