Using your example then whatever the prophet says would be scripture even the wrong stuff that has been mentioned. If you can prove your point using church doctrine, then we would have something to talk about.

Why do you feel it is necesary to continue to try and insult me by using the name Bill? I agreed to quit calling you school boy.

Particularly, I draw attention to President Benson’s sixth fundamental: “The prophet does not have to say ‘Thus saith the Lord’ to give us scripture.”

I doubt the Lord hates Gays as much as religious people claim he does.

Perhaps the Lord feels different about Gays than the Prophet or church traditions do.

Where is the “Thus sayith the Lord”

This doesn’t dodge the question – it places it in the proper context. If you really believe President Hinckley is a real prophet – then there is no argument. If an argument persists, then it seems to me that a person hasn’t fully accepted that he is a bona-fide prophet.

What about Brigham Young and the blacks? Brigham Young spoke his own mind (not in the capacity of prophet) on many occasions. Likewise President Hinckley. But the question of the gay-life style is clearly not one of those occasions.

The question then becomes not one of whether the Church should be accepting of the gay-life style, but whether President Hinckley is indeed a prophet of God. That’s how I must settle the question – without that, I don’t know how to settle this one.

Christ Suffered in gethsemane for all of our sins. Anyone who continues to commit the same sin might have underlying issues to deal with. I am noo one to judge them or anyone else. My reasons here are simple; We can all feel peace in our hearts and happiness in our lives.
