A gay Mormon married a woman.... curious about the morality aspect on this

[Dakota_Roberts]

Andy’s right, the question is a valid one, if not for our benefit for other Mormons. Other Mormons may want to know how he found a way to circumvent the instruction in Leviticus, Paul and Peter.

I’m rusty on Mormonism, but if memory serves me they are one of the most severe religions on such an accepted condition. If this is true, never mind the homosexuality, he needs to attend his church more often than he does.

Where is this guy anyways. Get him here so we can discuss.

Mormons are waiting.

What are you talking about? The Bible prohibits sex with the same sex, not being attracted to the same sex (that wouldn’t make sense anyway as concupiscence anyway)…

In review.

As a whole, his blog conveys a certain nonchalant acceptance of his state, his resignation and complacency with his internal thoughts.

**If, on the other hand, the condition does not remove the sinfulness of the action, the desire is also sinful. This is clearly the case where the action is intrinsically and absolutely evil, e.g. blasphemy,abomination,etc

*delectatio morosa, i.e. the pleasure taken in a sinful thought or imagination even without desiring it;

He proudly announces his identifying with this inherent sin, contrary to Church doctrine and lack of trust in it’s teachings. It is schismatic in that he sought platforms to disseminate his condition, the first in betrayal to his marriage’s third party, filial Christ, who absolutely commanded us to teach our children by example positive holy things. The second to the public in general.

We notice this is different from admitting to his children a wrong committed. We have instead a notice to them of his sense of satisfaction and that no treatment is necessary. Nowhere does he state he is attempting to remedy it, and does not speak of dialogue with his church or attempts to seek assistance. This is a dangerous stance and dares satan to tempt to have him move to the experimentation stage, this without the Sacraments the Church would provide.

*sin may be committed not only by outward deeds but also by the inner activity of the mind apart from any external manifestation, is plain from the precept of the Decalogue: “Thou shalt not covet”, and from Christ’s rebuke of the scribes and pharisees whom he likens to “whited sepulchres… full of all filthiness”

I believe the doctrine of the Mormon Church is true.

If one believes, then one adheres to it’s doctrine. It is unfair to his readers that he does not
attempt to prove his adherence through it’s doctrine. The void that remains is an appeal to ignorance.

His marriage itself calling for close scrutiny and seems devoid of spiritual Filiality. The conveyance seems to display a lack of knowledge of responsibility and what is expected, and what a marriage entails.

In conclusion, this story proceeds from defects. If one were to seek treatment from this condition, he would first benefit from the right sources of help. Belonging to the only Church sanctioned today would pave the road to recovery more reliably and certainly than one that isn’t. He would receive positive assistance. Remedies are readily available for this subtle and devious affliction, and a cure is also available. It leaves us to wonder whether a cure is sincerely sought once mired deeply into a secular life where complacency of the delectable is the norm.
