This comes from yet another conversation with my husband. I don’t want to be insensitive here. So, if you offend easily when it comes to the subject about homosexuals, you might not want to read this.
I’ve written many times on this subject, trying to figure out both arguments and my view on the matter. I’m not sure that I actually considered the argument from Heavenly Father’s point-of-view entirely. I was trying so hard to figure out a way to allow both ideas to co-exist. As I was speaking to my husband about this, I figured it out and he pointed out a few scriptures and ideas that aligned with the correct view.
During our conversation I was asking if it were possible for both to exist. Christians would have their sacred Marriage and homosexuals would have a union of some sort, but still recognized like Marriage by the Government. I didn’t fully recognize that homosexuals are in open and direct rebellion against Heavenly Father. Listed below are the things being destroyed or defiled):
- Marriage was created by Heavenly Father. It is a sacred covenant; between him, one man and one woman.
- Families were also created by Heavenly Father. Man and Woman are to be fruitful and multiply. Families and Marriage were created together. Man and Woman (Father and Mother) being the head of the household with Heavenly Father being the center.
- Their symbol (the Rainbow) is also a creation of Heavenly Father. It was a promise to man that he would never again flood the earth. So he took his hand and created a Bow in the sky.
- The color purple is also associated with Christ (he was adorned with a crown of thorns and a purple robe). It is symbolic of “King of the Jews” and royalty (to rule over the earth and man).
I could add scriptures, but we all know them from all the arguments. I can argue all day the right and the wrong, but that isn’t my point — this is:
Being in that kind of open and direct rebellion can’t work on this earth, but mostly in heaven. You can’t mock Heavenly Father in any way. Also, I don’t think that Heavenly Father would create someone with sin, because sin is NOT HIS creation. That is the creation of the Adversary. Before Satan rebelled, we lived in harmony together; no knowledge of Sin — Satan taught us Sin and it was OUR CHOICE to follow Satan or Heavenly Father. Some of us chose to follow Satan and of course they were the 1/3 cast out with him. Each of us made one right decision. That is why we’re here now and with all the chaos Satan created we couldn’t live in harmony one with another. Some angels wanting to do right and some giving in to newly learned sin(s), etc. It wasn’t going to work.
This is earth is for us to overcome Satan basically. It is our choice to follow what we know to be right, good and true. We all knew at one point the correct path. Satan destroyed it. That is why you can’t accept sin of any kind.
When we are born, all of us have a clean slate. ALL OF US. We are SIN FREE. That is why Heavenly Father does not create sin or anything bad or ugly. Sin is LEARNED BEHAVIOR. It is up to us to overcome it — it is our choice. Heavenly Father gave us the Atonement to overcome, he didn’t leave us powerless. We are tempted to try and do things; some of us choose not to and some do.
I do understand that some of us are born with physical and sometimes mental handicaps. There isn’t much you can do about those circumstances — what you can do is accept that it is what it is and ask Heavenly Father to help you. Help you accept it and move on, to show you a better way — he can make anything like that into a blessing if you let him. Heavenly Father will show you a better way. As far as same sex tendencies, regardless of what you want to believe, born with it or not; doesn’t really matter honestly at this point. I can argue that all day as well, so I don’t care what you think about it, its irrelevant at this point (I know the truth and choose to accept it). So, you know have the issue, now what do you choose to do with it? Which direction do you choose: to be in direct rebellion or not.

I need to add this:
Genesis Chapter 2: 18 – 25
18 And the Lord God said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him an help meet for him.
19 And out of the ground the Lord God formed every beast of the field, and every fowl of the air; and brought them unto Adam to see what he would call them: and whatsoever Adam called every living creature, that was the name thereof.
20 And Adam gave names to all cattle, and to the fowl of the air, and to every beast of the field; but for Adam there was not found an help meet for him.
21 And the Lord God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam, and he slept: and he took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh instead thereof;
22 And the rib, which the Lord God had taken from man, made he a woman, and brought her unto the man.
23 And Adam said, This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man.
24 Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh.
25 And they were both naked, the man and his wife, and were not ashamed.
Notice the word WIFE?! the man and his WIFE! They were married by God.
Now, because people abused marriage it doesn’t make it right and it doesn’t change what it was meant to be. From the very beginning it was meant for man to have ONE wife. We all fall short, we all sin, but that doesn’t change what marriage is or was meant to be.
We’re not meant to divorce either, but it happens and here again he talks about marriage and what is was meant to be:
Matthew 19: 3 – 9:
3 The Pharisees also came unto him, tempting him, and saying unto him, Is it lawful for a man to put away his wife for every cause?
4 And he answered and said unto them, Have ye not read, that he which made them at the beginning made them male and female,
5 And said, For this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife: and they twain shall be one flesh?
6 Wherefore they are no more twain, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder.
7 They say unto him, Why did Moses then command to give a writing of divorcement, and to put her away?
8 He saith unto them, Moses because of the hardness of your hearts suffered you to put away your wives: but from the beginning it was not so.
9 And I say unto you, Whosoever shall put away his wife, except it be for fornication, and shall marry another, committeth adultery: and whoso marrieth her which is put away doth commit adultery.
Another scripture for you:
Jacob 2:27-28:
27 Wherefore, my brethren, hear me, and hearken to the word of the Lord: For there shall not any man among you have save it be one wife; and concubines he shall have none;
28 For I, the Lord God, delight in the chastity of women. And whoredoms are an abomination before me; thus saith the Lord of Hosts.
The New Testament was a higher law because they weren’t ready for it. When Christ came, he taught these new things to them, things they ought to have been doing.
