Are you really saying that the societal flavor of the week is homosexuality? The LGBT movement is THE movement of my generation. There are multiple stories everyday dealing with homosexuality and as much as they want to ignore it, the Church is forced to talk about it all the time.

Brigham and McConkie said they same thing about blacks and the priesthood. Don't underestimate the power of societal pressure. Do you really think that as other churches begin to accommodate the LGBT community that the LDS Church will be the last one standing? Public opinion and political pressure changed the doctrine of polygamy and priesthood, it will change this one too. We just need to speak up when we have the opportunity and let time do its thing.

Before I die, the Church will accept active homosexuals and they will be married in the temple. If not, the Church will gradually lose credibility, influence and eventually, relevance.

Your metaphors and hypothetical examples are kind of silly and irrelevant. What you are saying is that we have a closed canon and that there is no longer a need for revelation. We both know that is not the case. The policy can be changed. I am not saying it will but it is possible. You are acting as if you know God's future will. I'll repeat myself, policies have been changed before and they can be changed at anytime if it is God's will. Even if it weren't possible(which it is), your response to her original post was callous and cold.

What's the matter with you? Do you not have any compassion at all? She understands the policy she just would like to have her children sealed to her. Have some tact man. If we do things via proxy and the Lord was our great proxy for sin and redemption then there is no reason that Church policy can't change. You are way too dogmatic. Major Church policy has changed in the past. It could happen again
