President Packer

Now, I love this man with all my heart. I feel so sad for him that he is getting all this negative stuff from people around the world, and even in the church. But at the same time, I think it's great. I mean, this man has had so much courage to say what is right, and not falter. Even when he could have taken back what he said, he didn't, because he knows that it is absolutely right. And I admire that so much about him.


And now about his topic that has caused so much trouble. The topic of being homosexual. For some odd reason, I've found that people think this is the most touchy subject, because they make it be. That's all, for no other reason. President Packer said that it is a sin to act upon the feelings that they may have, and if they can, then great, if not, then that's not very highly favored of God. He never really said that they were hated or anything. He just made it clear, and in the most kind and loving way. I found no fault in his testimony, I rather enjoyed it in fact.


The thing that I think has caused the most talk is that he said the our God would never create a child to be that way. And I think that is so right. I mean, think about it, He loves us so much, He would never intentionally do that to someone. Contrary to what some people may say out there. They believe that they are born this way, and have no options. I feel so sad for them when they think that, we are born the same. It's our physical weaknesses and Satan's influence that may lead someone to think that. And maybe they truly do, but to act upon it is what is not the best.


And in this little blog post, I am in no way saying I hate those people. They are human. And just because they prefer something different doesn't mean I am better or disgusted with them. I just don't support their choices. They are nothing to me. Fine if they are happy that way. I have no place to judge. My brother is gay, and I know that I will always love him, nothing he can do will make me change that. He may bug me and not make choices that I will, but that's okay. I support him in making good choices though, and if he doesn't want to listen or is offended, then I am sorry. I just believe in what President Packer has said.


I love General Conference, because it teaches so many things and I really do believe that he was inspired to share this. Why now? I don't know? And why if it was inspired must he go through all this persecution, but for whatever reason, he is being blessed for sticking to his words. It may be a trial to see how much he will stick to what he has said, and so far, he is doing an excellent job. I love this man with all my heart, I know he is right. And always will be. I admire his faith and his persistence. He is such a great man.
