I guess there's not a way you know or can prove it, but I feel like that's what the gospel is about. You may not know it in the typical sense like you know water is made of hydrogen and oxygen, but you can know it by feeling it. You can pray to feel God's love and ask him to help you know he hears you. That's honestly how I know, though I must admit I am the worst at prayer, but I know he hears me because I've felt him and I've seen the blessings of prayer, like silly things when I pray to find a missing shoe and after the prayer I am able to find it, even when it was somewhere I already looked. The best way to realize God hears prayers is to hear missionary stories, about how certain people prayed and God gave them very direct answers. One is from a missionary prep teacher I had once, he said when he was on his mission they received a prompting to go somewhere weird they'd never thought of. they knocked on the door and a woman came to the door and proceeded to tell them she was about to kill herself and had prayed one last time for an answer from God. They literally saved her life and God answered her prayer.
Gay people are gladly welcomed to attend and be members. However just like any heterosexual, acting upon sexual feelings is a sin outside of marriage. The church believes marriage is ordained of god and is between man and woman. Nonetheless gays are respected and loved just like anyone else. They can be complete and faithful members and I have several gay friends who choose to remain a part even though it is difficult for them to do so. There are many heterosexual people that don't have the opportunity to marry either and they still choose, like those faithful gays to keep the law of chastity.
Personally I have gotten a lot of horrible messages --- however I have also gotten genuine sincere questions that I've enjoyed answering. It all depends :)
Hahah I don't know, sometimes I fear my maturity and place in life would differ far too greatly
Haha I did get it. 30 isn't old but relative to me it's about twelve years difference. I'm 18 haha. And I'm obviously totally normal, maybe haha
Haha okay well then
A. Where do you live (city not address I'm not that weird)
B. How old are you
C. Scale of one to normal how normal are you?
Haha well I think I'm pretty transparent but maybe not. Well, you could always tell me who you are right?
Haha because I don't know who you are and that's not okay, plus your entertaining me during my two hour break so why not?
Haha maybe one day... That does sound very unfortunate... I thinking cooking together for a date would be cool though. So my question is, how come you're talking to me, out of curiosity I must know
Haha oh I would tell you its just a lot to explain. Hmm, honestly I like anything. I like reading, writing, music, movies, cooking, doing service, talking to others, thinking, sleeping, eating, etc haha
Well... I guess it's complicated. And a long explanation. And deep.
