Okay, but that is irrelevant to the discussion here.

The Bible is also very clear about killing homosexuals – “If a man lies with a male as with a women, both of them shall be put to death for their abominable deed; they have forfeited their lives.” (Leviticus 20:13 NAB)

I hope you’re a man of your word.
I also hope law enforcement is well informed of your intentions.

So, perhaps stating a norm or ideal does not preclude approval of other types of marriages and relationships.

“For all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God.” Romans 3:23

“For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.” Romans 6:23

All sins are equal in God’s eyes. In this world, each sin has a different consequence and a different imediate effect on a person’s life, but at judgement day a person will be judged for sin.

Homosexuality is a sin.
Greed is a sin.
Lying is a sin.
Gluttony is a sin.
Theft is a sin.
Murder is a sin.
Hatred is a sin.

But the gift of God is aternal life through Jesus Christ, regardless of your sin.

“For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son that whosoever should believe in him shall not perish but have eternal life.” John 3:16

“Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that hears my word, and believes on him that sent me has everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life.” John 5:24

I am a homosexual.
I am a Christian.
I am going to Heaven.

See comments here and here.

Meanwhile they may continue to have endless “celestial sex,” as has been described by Dick Baer and Ed Decker in The Godmakers.

It’s true that I feel safe in believing you’re not an apostle, since I’m pretty familiar with the current list of those. But I have no idea whether you have left the Church or qualify as an apostate. I also don’t know (or care to know) whether you are “gay,” openly or otherwise. As far as I know, you’ve never stated any of those thingson this ‘blog; above, you say only that I’m assuming them, not whether they are true or false.

The only things I know about you are that a long time ago you were a member of the first student ward I moved into at BYU after getting married, that I once read an editorial letter you wrote to The Daily Universe about the John Birch Society, that until recently you ran a rather nice website about LDS temples, and that you have recently championed same-sex marriage and condemned the views of Elder Oaks on this weblog.

I’m also not making any demand that you prove Elder Oaks wrong. I just see that you have a very definite view on this and would like to know more about why you hold that view.

Then in the Hereafter, when They are all exalted and receive Their planets to populate, each Couple will be given a rock in the Asteroid Belt between Mars and Jupiter. Since They will have no Eternal Increase, there is no need for full-sized planets for Them to occupy. After They have their own planets settled, which will be fully populated when They settle there, what will then happen throughout the Eternities?

At least They won’t have any Satans to throw monkey wrenches into Their Systems, so They won’t have any sorrow from Their children falling away from Their Eternal Plans, whatever They may decide to put into action.

Come to think of it, that sounds like a really good program, in many respects–kind of like Adam and Eve would’ve been in the Garden of Eden, had they not succumbed to temptation.

I’m just wondering what your basis is for your position.

I believe, and apparently you do, too (?) that some physical characteristics will rise in the resurrection and some will not. You seem very confident that sexual attraction of men to men and women to women is in the former category. I’m just wondering what you’re founding your belief on.
