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.

There is a website called, “United Families International“ who keep track of many news worthy items pertaining to the attacks on traditional marriage which includes gay marriage. In particular, one of their e-mail news releases read as follows,

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)?
