Russell M. Nelson, president of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, and his wife, Sister Wendy Nelson, wave to students after a devotional at Brigham Young University in Provo, Utah on Sept. 17, 2019.PROVO, Utah — The leader of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is reaffirming that the religion must stick to its opposition of gay marriage because God's law states that marriage should only be between a man and a woman.
Church president Russell M. Nelson also said Tuesday in a speech to students at the church-owned Brigham Young University that a 2015 policy banning baptisms for children of parents in same-sex relationship was rescinded earlier this year because leaders took note of the"heartache" it caused.
ProxyAlive Not all news is bad.
Old white guys twist and interpret whatever they want, however they want to push their own masculine insecurities on the weak and gullible. Notice how they never condemn child rape, sexual abuse, forced marriages of little girls.....no surprise
Fake Christians
Let’s be the Mormons alone lol. They aren’t forcing people to be in their weird ass church so let em believe some weird shit that a kid wrote down whilst traveling a couple hundred years ago
As a Christian I am here to say I do not care who you marry. Neither should they, easy. Boom. Love who you want, it's not like they're being forced into gay. Honestly. Smh
That would be the same 'God's law' that they've just...you know...made up.
Just remember, God “changed his mind” about black people in 1978. Mormons are monsters until it suits them not to be.
He’s goddamm right. Marriage is between a man and a woman and a younger woman and a barely teenager. Anything else is an abomination.
I may be Christian, but I agree with this.
Some of you have growing up to do. You are too damn sensitive. If you don't believe in God, you don't have to comment on what he said. It easy for you to believe in the devil than God.
No one cares. Tell him to shove it
Lying, fraud, corruption, theft, and adultery all still fair game though. Isn't there top 10 list of bad things? Is gay marriage on it? How can people continue to show up at these places of worship with these false prophets on stage?
Good
As I understand it and I may have it wrong:)! The Morman Church was a break off of the Church of England. The Church of England. The King James Version is the American version used by most a Protestant religions. Way back in Jesus day Homosexuality was con’t
The Book of Mormon isn’t against God’s law?
WhiteSupremacist Homophobia
Now tell us how many boys he had in his office last night.
John 15:12 My command is this: Love each other as I have loved you.
blabla guns are ok?
What a cult of crazy control freaks. “God” only made 10 “laws.” And that ain’t one of them.
What god?
I’m serious why do you think it’s newsworthy? Everyone knows about how straight laced Mormans are they don’t even drink coffee.
PTL
This is a joke, I laughed so loud I peed my pants. Are there people that believe this crap?
To be fair, the Church is dumb AF.
A shame he has a belief so many can't seem to handle because it differs from their own. 'If everyone thought alike, then no one is thinking'.
It’s fine for him to admonish Mormons...so be it. But that is not to be foisted on US or Utah or any community
Says the group who back in the day thought it was okay to have multiple wives. Real men know one is enough. 😎
A whole lots bigots in these comments.
And that’s fine-they can believe whatever they want-they just can’t legislate it.
Society does not dictate what is right or wrong....
But marrying multiple women, some barely past the point of puberty, that’s a-okay.
It is your “God’s Law”, but as you know, other people have different perception and opinion about “God’s Law”, that’s why, for matter related to human relationships, we appeal to human laws, laws not based on whatever religion perspective 💁🏽♂️
God doesn't set laws.
When these people wake up in 'Godistan', they can apply their own god law. Until then, we Americans have the Constitution and Common Law.
Does he reaffirm Jos Smith's raping of young girls?
It's against the natural order liberal fascists. I'll tolerate homosexuality to the extent people STFU about it. I wouldn't wish it on anyone. Life is hard enough without having to deal with with that crap in your world.
Screw them
The fact that anyone takes this seriously is frightening.
I am wondering how on earth do GOP, Trump & custodians of religion tell gross leis in the name of God. Do they have secret line of communication with God, or they also have an “alternative” God too?
Without a Doubt!
Who cares. Its the Mormons.
Next week we’ll find out that he’s gay.
It’s spelled wrong it’s MORON
I reaffirm my hate for Antigay bigots !
Why is people believing what they want news?
He ain't wrong. What, you think relentless pressure is going to cause true believers (whatever their religion) to bend over for 'the cause'? You got another thing coming.
Sad religion.
So gays are bad yet having multiple teen wives isn't. Why are all these religious people so against what YOU do yet what THEY do is so much worse.
Wrong, it's against bigoted extremists law. It's not in the Bible! Try reading it!
I'm not seeing your tweet about Ed Bucks arrest. Am I missing it somewhere?
Religion?
And where did God say or write that exactly?
GodDoesntExist
If Jesus Christ sat down and ate dinner with sinners, prostitutes, tax collectors, ( bad people at the time ) and criminals talked and NEVER judges them WHY are religions making judgements on people today? WHY? If Jesus Christ didn't why are we?
Good!
Ask the church whether pedophilia is against God’s law. Much of the church’s foundation is built on pedophilia. The issue split the Mormons early on with the pro-pedophilia group winning out.
if it is his religion, I do not begrudge him that.
All the mormons on knew where assholes that destroyed public property for fun & drank pop
