The problems caused by gay-marriage advocates versus traditional marriage advocates seems to be getting worst. Not long ago I wrote an entry here on this blog entitled, “Will the Church Work Against the Law?“. It was a concern of what the LDS Church will do if faced with an “either / or” situation to marry gay persons or face prosecution or a penalty. From what I find is that this “damned if you do or damned if you don’t” situation has already hit others in the world and in some cases, cost those who refused to marry gay person’s a pretty penny.

In the past while, I came to have an interest to research some of this Church’s history in Germany during World War II, under the Nazi rule of Hitler. This is because a comment was made to me that the members of the Church in Germany were obedient to the government of that time, a comment made in an attempt to illustrate the “order of the Church”.

This comment struck an interest in me to find out as much as I can, the state of affairs in Nazi Germany, to see if any dilemma existed between obedience to the local government and laws and the doctrines of God. I found a good example.

On May 16, 2008, the California Supreme Court decided that same-sex marriages are legal and constitutional. That was a sad day for the Church to see that the law of the land has moved in favour of sin, as the doctrine of this Church clearly stands against it. The question that has come to my mind is “will the Church work against the law if the law says it must obey it?”.

The fight for the divine order of marriage is not over yet. Proposition 8 was just passed in California banning same-sex marriages which now establishes a new law contrary to the California Supreme Court decision. Is this now over, will this see-saw battle over homosexual marriages now end? - I do not think so.

How many people complain about how this person did this or that, or how they should have done something differently? How many complained about the prophet or any of the General Authority?

When reading the scriptures, what pattern exists between God and his prophet(s)?

Some Anti-Mormon’s will try to debate and argue some preceived ills of the LDS Church. It is their attempt to breed contempt, contention and rebellion in our hearts and minds. They are determined to convince us that the authority of this Church continued to practice polygamy contrary to it’s 1890 Manifesto stopping the practice. An Anti-Mormon of late tried to convince me that this Church lied or misrepresented itself. Initially, this was not a concern to me but this person spurred me to research more about the matter and this is what I found.

Little did this Anti-Mormon know that I would find good information discrediting his claims. I seek truth and good understanding, giving credit where credit is due. That happens to be what Jesus Christ and this Church teaches.

The following are excerpts from “historic” documents or sources.

Recently an Anti-Mormon contacted me and tried to present himself as a ex-member of this Church, likely because he wanted to gain some favour in my eyes. During our email conversation he brought up his disbelief in this Church based on his view of historic events and one of them was the story of Joseph Smith putting a stone into a hat, using it as a seer stone to translate the Book of Mormon. Suffice the say the correspondence ended quickly due to his argumentative style of writing, but that encounter spurred me to write about the “seer stone” and the Urim and Thummim which was used by Joseph Smith to translate the Book of Mormon.

Before writing, I took the position as an investigator, one who has a background in the scriptures. I investigated the validity of a seer stone within the Bible. I started with the Bible because this pertains to religious matters, not worldly matters. Here is what I found.

How many times have I read this, not just from the Book of Mormon and from the Bible,

Ephesians 4: 14
That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive;

Can this happen to an average member of this Church, where some unknown person lies in wait to deceive, or is this something we read about that only happens to the most important members of God’s Church?

I am sure that there are some detractors of this LDS Church that would claim, after reading my blog articles and testimony, that if another church had pursued my membership with them instead of the Mormon missionaries, then I would have easily become a member of another church.

I say this to those who claim that, -humbug!

Here is why.
