In reply to the discussion: Leaders say Mormons cannot condone same-sex marriage [View all]DallasNE
(8,008 posts)Are not those "truths" really things man has declared in the name of God, such as the 10 Commandments.
And did not the Mormon Church once declare that polygamy was one of those truths. How unchangeable was that? I also find his phrasing is odd when he says "God meant marriage for a man and a woman". Why would he say it that way unless he still harbors the notion that polygamy is not a sin. After all, he did not say "God meant marriage to be between one man and one woman". This is not a slip of the tongue. After all apostle Dallin H. Oaks is a former Utah Supreme Court Justice. One of the truths is that God has created homosexual Mormons so has God created sin? That seems to be what Oaks is saying. This is the problem when men declare things in the name of God and someone comes along and declares them to be unchangeable. It sets up indefensible positions, making people look rather foolish.
