Why Mormonism Cannot Win on the Marriage Issue

[_Philo Sofee]

The reason is obvious, the "Lord" doesn't have just one standard for marriage, that is, if the Bible has any value at all. The singular best response to Oaks I have ever seen. The graphic and scripture says it all.

Yes, with our complicated history of marriage and the theological rhetoric regarding it, we seem to lack some street cred when it comes to traditional marriage.

One thing we can be assured of, however, is that nothing - no matter how unchangeable we might insist it is - is actually unchangeable. We have an Article of Faith that says as much in a roundabout way.

Even those graphics seem to acknowledge that male/female is the only definition of marriage, regardless of numbers of females or status of either male or female.

So are they really varying "standards" of marriage or are they just variations on the male/female traditional marriage theme?

People mine the Bible for parts they like and agree with, and disregard the rest. If Mormons begin to care about what the Bible says, there would be a list a mile long of inconsistencies between what the church teaches and what the Bible actually says.

Wow, I'd love to hear your definition of a sandwich. No, seriously. Give it a try.

Exactly why the Bible simply takes second place......shellfish is one of the best foods for you.

Unless, like my Dad, you are prone to gout. Then you can't have any.
