It wasn't alleged tho

Another matter. We hope that you who teach in the various organizations, whether on the campuses or in our chapels, will always teach the orthodox truth. We warn you against the dissemination of doctrines which are not according to the scriptures and which are alleged to have been taught by some of the General Authorities of past generations. Such, for instance, is the Adam-God theory. We denounce that theory and hope that everyone will be cautioned against this and other kinds of false doctrine.

Our Own Liahona, President Spencer W. Kimball, October 1976 General Conference

Gone are the days

Gone are the days when a student asked an honest question and a teacher responded, “Don’t worry about it!” Gone are the days when a student raised a sincere concern and a teacher bore his or her testimony as a response intended to avoid the issue. Gone are the days when students were protected from people who attacked the Church. Fortunately, the Lord provided this timely and timeless counsel to you teachers: “And as all have not faith, seek ye diligently and teach one another words of wisdom; yea, seek ye out of the best books words of wisdom; seek learning, even by study and also by faith.”

Policy Changes

Once called revelation, a difficult policy has been reversed. Children of gay parents can now be baptized into the LDS church before the age of 18, they are now eligible to have a baby blessing and all other ordinances allowed to other members of the church.

People in a same sex marriage are no longer to be disciplined under grounds of apostasy.

These changes come a short 3.5 years after they were put into place.

There are some questions I have regarding this.

1. Did God change His mind? It was spoken as revelation at the start, and now it’s more revelation to end such a practice? Which revelation is correct?
2. What of those who were excommunicated during the policy because they were found guilty of apostasy? Does God simply shake his head at it and say oops...that shouldn’t have happened.
3. How long before all of this is swept under the rug and people claim it never took place to begin with?
4. What about those who testified about the road the church took? How important it was and how God is never changing? What will they say now regarding it all?
5. Perhaps more importantly, what about those who committed suicide because of the harsh policy? They were told they weren’t welcome, weren’t wanted, and now the policy changes and it’s suddenly okay? As though nothing happened before November 2015.

I do not have answers to any of these questions. I doubt I will ever find an answer to these questions in my lifetime. Perhaps at the very end, I can ask God what He was thinking when he prompted these revelations.

This weighs heavy on my heart and soul.

He Never Changed His Mind... until 2019
