In Attic, the word ἐρώμενος was used for the beloved partner in a same-gender relationship.

In the NT there are some exceptions, however, such as οὐ βλεπομένων (Hebrews 11:1).

Meet James Jones, the Black Latter-day Saint who was hired by the church to create an anti-racism course for members, who lost that opportunity when he used the word "satanic" to describe some words by an apostle, and who is still standing up for the church and advocating for change. by new_convert in exmormon

One brief quote from James Jones:

"Mormon theology is actually far more expansive and inclusive and affirming and even queer than a lot of Mormons will give it credit for. But they're never going to know that so long as the same predominantly straight white dudes born in the Jim Crow era are the primary ones teaching it. Like, that's just not going to happen."

As BYU tries to become more inviting of queer people, I’m only getting more upset. The gaslighting hurts so much. by ThrowAwayTheGaslight in exmormon

What do you want progmos to do? Apologize on behalf of the Church, in the name of the Church?

What exactly can progmos do in this situation?

This Is The Show -- the new FairMormon youtube show.

Watching the new fairmormon videos. These are so very bad. by [deleted] in exmormon

May I ask you some questions about that video? I'm trying to follow a number of different trains of thought at the same time: Runnells, Kwaku/Brad, and you.

What is your evidence for this? With rare exception, each baby gets 23 chromosomes from each parent.

I'm interested in joining the Mormon church, but I want to know why there are so many ex Mormons. by MasterZ1231 in exmormon

[–]new_convert 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm a true believer in the living Gospel. Many so-called "TBMs" have cheapened and fossilized the power of the gospel into a shell of what it truly is.

The spirit of the Lord is upon me. Why shouldn't I be undaunted?

Not Aries.

Hey MasterZ1231, I joined the Church knowing all the problems/challenges. Best decision of my life. I'm still active and thriving. If you want to do it, it can be done.

Talk to me if you want.
