As I understand it, the two men were sealed in a father/son relationship. Plus, it is a practice that has long since been abandoned.<BR/><BR/>The idea that Adam was created by priesthood power rather than a male/female coupling is an interesting notion that I'm going to have to chew on.Abelard Enigmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13166049686152203530noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2072949053404807587.post-63260314546224607382007-12-05T23:08:00.000-05:002007-12-05T23:08:00.000-05:00Thank you; I have never heard of this... very fasc...Thank you; I have never heard of this... very fascinating...<BR/><BR/>To me, this implies that posterity, in the Lord, is not dependent on physical seed, but rather priesthood seed (see Abraham 2:10) more than it implies anything about same-sex relationships. <BR/><BR/>However, since same-sex relationships are shunned <I>because</I> of the presumed limitations on posterity, I think there are some incredible secondary applications to this idea when it comes to same-sex coupling.chednerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14963974112297032614noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2072949053404807587.post-57767530086773528492007-12-05T20:33:00.000-05:002007-12-05T20:33:00.000-05:00Interesting, I've always thought the law of adopti...Interesting, I've always thought the law of adoption was an extremely interesting topic. I don't know too much about it either, though there is a great podcast about it from LDS Liberation Front at http://www.ldsliberationfront.net/evening_morning_star/EMS%202.mp3 I hadn't ever thought of applying the practice to solve the question of same sex marriages/unions/sealings, but who knows, maybe that will be the way that they will be incorporated into the church someday.<BR/><BR/>And I'm not going to lie: foxx, you made me laugh out loud.austinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16710012254870960445noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2072949053404807587.post-60967426340646726002007-12-05T19:57:00.000-05:002007-12-05T19:57:00.000-05:00Oh man!
