Everybody is somebody for whom Jesus died. Jesus died for a world with which he didn't see eye to eye with.
It is not a question of seeing "eye to eye". It is a question of repentance. Modern LGBTQ+ rejects repentance and claims that the behavior is normal and not sinful.
“Enter by the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and there are many who go in by it. 14 [a]Because narrow is the gate and [b]difficult is the way which leads to life, and there are few who find it." Mat 7:13-14
Christ died for our sins, but He requires repentance. Many western Christian denominations are more interested in filling pews than they calling sin sin.
It’s kinda like “ballet harvesting”…..always looking for a way to increase their numbers! memtb

The LDS Church is not condoning same sex marriage as an accepted practice, it does not! Rather the legislation attempts to "protect" a persons ability to make their own decision on the matter. It is called "Free Agency" and the ability to choose for one's self. It also supports one's right to worship and believe what they choose to believe, hence the Church's interest. In my mind, it is more about "tolerance" in the screwed-up world in which we live. The old "sand box" is getting pretty crazy as time goes on AND it is not getting any bigger either.
This what happens when "religion" and "freedom" run into .gov. Our Country was founded on religious freedom. It is just getting a lot harder to satisfy everyone's freedoms without stepping on someone else's rights or beliefs. The scriptures contained prophesy indicating that things would get rough in the end...
The judgement is a whole different matter if you believe in such as part of the "plan." IIRC, as a Christian, that part is taken care of by someone else and it is not all just based on sodomy or lack thereof alone. Need to keep our own lives in order if one adheres to such beliefs... the old "stones in glass houses" analogy.

The global homosexual movement is about incremental perversion. If you think this is about freedom you are deeply confused and seriously gullible. It is about a RADICAL changing of society. It is about a complete destruction of the nuclear family. Our society is crumbing because of the insidious destruction of the basic family unit. Sodomy and homosexuality have long ago been decriminalized in the west. So individuals have had the freedom of personal action they desired. Codifying gay marriage is about "normalizing" homosexual *moral choices*.
The West deserves the dystopian hell they are creating - the problem is the grandchildren will inherit this.
"Then He began to rebuke the cities in which most of His mighty works had been done, because they did not repent: " Mat 11:20
I'm not condoning this behavior or disagreeing with your comments at all wrt my own personal beliefs/conduct.
I agree that society is slipping and that this behavior has become more prevalent and accepted by many as OK. The family is where it is at for humans from an evolutionary sense as well as religious for many reasons. Look to nature, particularly primates and large mammals! Not that it does not occur but it is not selected for. Mother Nature and natural selection are pretty harsh as well as efficient! Once again, just my personal observation and opinion.
We don't live by the laws of nature any longer. We think we are smarter and our record is pretty good, at least here in the short term...
>gov believes they can fix everything for everyone... doesn't work that way.
Interesting times to come. Once again, not necessarily a surprise at all from a religious viewpoint.
From a scientific standpoint, ever study the laws of thermodynamics and particularly the "natural" tendency/drive towards increased entropy or "randomness." This can also be viewed as less "organization" and more "chaos." It also fits the situation to my understanding at the social/macro level. Overcoming that requires "heat" and effort in the form of work, cooperation, morals, belief in a higher power, etc.
