The scriptures don’t consistently condemn homosexual practices, but something they do consistently condemn is our hypocrisy and love for judging others.

What would Jesus do? Maybe Matthew 19:14 can offer some insight.

“Suffer little children, and forbid them not, to come unto me, for of such is the Kingdom of Heaven”

And for the record, my daughter isn’t struggling with anything. She left, and this policy change has sealed her determination to never return. Where once she was ambivalent, now she is adamant.

I am sorry for that part of my reply to you

Blessings

I know that God still loves him despite the path he has chosen. I have two nephews who struggle with this also. I am pleased that the Church has taken this stand as a bulwark against sin and the cultural depravity we see around us.

The policy has nothing to do with logic and sense it is about right and wrong.

When did Mormons forget the teachings of the scriptures? They consistently condemn homosexual practices.

What would Jesus do? I believe he would not consign his son to a life of sin and unhappiness. He would try to rescue as did the shepherd.

Peace and greetings from Calgary
