Credit where credit is due, of all the cults, the Mormons who
don't want to be called Mormon anymore have made themselves appear pretty legit from a worldly perspective. Standing firm on
a foundation of Freemasonry, the Mormons appear to the unsaved eye as a branch of christianity. Of course they are no such thing, as our apostle Paul tells us, because a gospel preached by an angel in the Church Age is an accursed thing. Sorry, Moroni, pack your golden plates and beat it.
"But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed." Galatians 1:8 (KJV)
Mormon Church Reverses Controversial LGBTQP Policy
FROM THE HUFFINGTON POST: The church’s First Presidency, its top governing body,
announced Thursday that while it still considers same-sex marriage to be a “serious transgression,” queer church members in these relationships will not automatically be treated as apostates, or individuals who in the church’s eyes have turned away from the principles of the gospel.
“Instead, the immoral conduct in heterosexual or homosexual relationships will be treated in the same way,” the First Presidency said in its statement.
In addition, the children of parents who identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender can be baptized in the church as long as the parents understand that the child will be taught to follow the church’s doctrines.
The policy change is a stunning reversal of the church’s stance in
2015, when it announced that children of same-sex couples would only be allowed to join the church when they turned 18 ― with the condition that they move out of their parents’ homes, disavow their parents’ relationship, and get permission from church leadership. The 2015 policy also labeled members in same-sex marriages as apostates, and dictated that they would be forced to go through disciplinary hearings that could lead to excommunication.
