SALT LAKE CITY (ABC 4 News) - Organizers of Tuesday's "Celebration of Marriage" at Utah's Capitol Hill got a much larger crowd than they probably expected. The evening was intended to celebrate traditional family. While that did happen, people who attended were surrounded by hundreds gay rights activists.

Tuesday's celebration of traditional family marriage had everything: the Osmonds, the Governor, and hundreds of gay rights party crashers. Needless to say it was not what traditional family supporters expected.

"Do you think it makes this thing tense?" asked Reporter Brian Carlson.

"In some ways yes, in some ways no," said Claus Nielsen, traditional family supporter.

"It breaks my heart to see some of the signs around her that talk about hate, there's one I'm looking at right now that says 'Hate is not a family value,' and that's not what this is about, it's about sharing love but standing up for what we believe," said Jill Johnson, traditional family supporter.

hate is not a family and yet they are their showing hate to those who oppose their sham .

So true!! It REALLY exposes their agenda; doesn't it!!!

Questions put to Joseph Smith: "'Do you believe the Bible?' [Smith:]'If we do, we are the only people under heaven that does, for there are none of the religious sects of the day that do'. When asked 'Will everybody be damned, but Mormons'? [Smith replied] 'Yes, and a great portion of them, unless they repent, and work righteousness." (Teachings of the Prophet Joseph Smith, p. 119).

Joseph Smith: "for the teachers of religion of the different sects understood the same passages of scripture so differently as to destroy all confidence in settling the question by an appeal to the Bible" (from Pearl of Great Price 1:12). "What is it that inspires professors of Christianity generally with a hope of salvation? It is that smooth, sophisticated influence of the devil, by which he deceives the whole world" (Teachings of the Prophet Joseph Smith, p.270).

 

 

 

Brigham Young stated this repeatedly: "When the light came to me I saw that all the so-called Christian world was grovelling in darkness" (Journal of Discourses 5:73); "The Christian world, so-called, are heathens as to the knowledge of the salvation of God" (Journal of Discourses 8:171); "With a regard to true theology, a more ignorant people never lived than the present so-called Christian world" (Journal of Discourses 8:199); "And who is there that acknowledges [God's] hand? ...You may wander east, west, north, and south, and you cannot find it in any church or government on the earth, except the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints" (Journal of Discourses , vol. 6, p.24); "Should you ask why we differ from other Christians, as they are called, it is simply because they are not Christians as the New Testament defines Christianity" (Journal of Discourses 10:230).

 

 

 

Orson Pratt proclaimed: "Both Catholics and Protestants are nothing less than the 'whore of Babylon' whom the Lord denounces by the mouth of John the Revelator as having corrupted all the earth by their fornications and wickedness. Any person who shall be so corrupt as to receive a holy ordinance of the Gospel from the ministers of any of these apostate churches will be sent down to hell with them, unless they repent" (The Seer, p. 255).

 

 

 

Orson Pratt also said: "This great apostasy commenced about the close of the first century of the Christian era, and it has been waxing worse and worse from then until now" (Journal of Discourses

, vol.18, p.44) and: "But as there has been no Christian Church on the earth for a great many centuries past, until the present century, the people have lost sight of the pattern that God has given according to which the Christian Church should be established, and they have denominated a great variety of people Christian Churches, because they profess to be ...But there has been a long apostasy, during which the nations have been cursed with apostate churches in great abundance" (Journal of Discourses , 18:172).

 

 

President John Taylor stated: "Christianity...is a perfect pack of nonsense...the devil could not invent a better engine to spread his work than the Christianity of the nineteenth century." (Journal of Discourses , vol. 6, p.167); "Where shall we look for the true order or authority of God? It cannot be found in any nation of Christendom." (Journal of Discourses , 10:127).

 

 

 

James Talmage said: "A self-suggesting interpretation of history indicates that there has been a great departure from the way of salvation as laid down by the Savior, a universal apostasy from the Church of Christ". (A Study of the Articles of Faith, p.182).

 

 

 

President Joseph Fielding Smith said: "Doctrines were corrupted, authority lost, and a false order of religion took the place of the gospel of Jesus Christ, just as it had been the case in former dispensations, and the people were left in spiritual darkness." (Doctrines of Salvation, p.266). "For hundreds of years the world was wrapped in a veil of spiritual darkness, until there was not one fundamental truth belonging to the place of salvation ...Joseph Smith declared that in the year 1820 the Lord revealed to him that all the 'Christian' churches were in error, teaching for commandments the doctrines of men" (Doctrines of Salvation, vol. 3, p.282).

 

 

 

More recent statements by apostle Bruce McConkie are also very clear: "Apostasy was universal...And this darkness still prevails except among those who have come to a knowledge of the restored gospel" (Doctrines of Salvation, vol 3, p.265); "Thus the signs of the times include the prevailing apostate darkness in the sects of Christendom and in the religious world in general" (The Millennial Messiah, p.403); "a perverted Christianity holds sway among the so-called Christians of apostate Christendom" (Mormon Doctrine, p.132); "virtually all the millions of apostate Christendom have abased themselves before the mythical throne of a mythical Christ whom they vainly suppose to be a spirit essence who is incorporeal uncreated, immaterial and three-in-one with the Father and Holy Spirit" (Mormon Doctrine, p.269); "Gnosticism is one of the great pagan philosophies which antedated Christ and the Christian Era and which was later commingled with pure Christianity to form the apostate religion that has prevailed in the world since the early days of that era." (Mormon Doctrine, p.316).

 

 

 

President George Q. Cannon said: "After the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints was organized, there were only two churches upon the earth. They were known respectively as the Church of the Lamb of God and Babylon. The various organizations which are called churches throughout Christendom, though differing in their creeds and organizations, have one common origin. They all belong to Babylon" (Gospel Truth, p.324).

 

 

President Wilford Woodruff stated: "the Gospel of modern Christendom shuts up the Lord, and stops all communication with Him. I want nothing to do with such a Gospel, I would rather prefer the Gospel of the dark ages, so called" (Journal of Discourses , vol. 2, p.196).

Amen.

[manc]

sadly the stupid party talks about reaching out and wants to ignore the freedom of religion and the attacks of the first amendment and the very basics of why this country was founded.

Those who shout tolerance and have their diversity stickers are the biggest most intolerant lot I have ever had the misfortune of coming across

About ten years ago (can’t believe this crap has been going on this long) when I lived in Asheville my daughter (who was 16 or 17 at the time) went to a Support Traditional Marriage downtown and of course the homosexuals were out to interfere. During prayers they were yelling and saying vile things. The cops made them move to the other side of the street. Vile, disgusting excuses for human beings. They haven’t changed.

[Neoliberalnot]

Why is anyone surprised that a group of mentally ill sexual degenerates would attack anything they view as not 100% on their side? It is simply one more manifestation of their mental derangement. Either the civilized world stands up or slides back into the days of Sodom.

Perhaps the male butt-lickers ingested a bit too much waste and were temporarily insane?

According to a Gallup survey of 120,000 interviews conducted in October 2012, only 3.4% of respondents identified themselves as LGBT:

http://www.gallup.com/poll/158066/special-report-adults-identify-lgbt.aspx

Yet, given the bombardment of relentless pro-LGBT propaganda in our universities and public schools and the gross over-representation of in-your-face pro-LGBT content and characters on television and movies, is it any wonder why the average American has been completely duped into thinking that gays make up 25% of the population!

http://www.gallup.com/poll/147824/adults-estimate-americans-gay-lesbian.aspx

This is just one powerful example of how pop culture and education have succeeded in completely distorting reality and in turn end up advancing a radical left-wing agenda!

[DestroyLiberalism]

Oh, and of course we can’t forget the communist-controlled media’s role in all of this either!

[Travis McGee]

An unnatural act can never be the basis for a natural marriage.

[1010RD]

What percent of those are wanting any kind of ‘til death do you part’ relationship?

Same sex civil unions have been legal in Illinois since June 1, 2011. So far I can only find about 1600 same sex civil unions. I suspect that was the first rush. The statistics in other countries look the same. There’s a dearth of homosexuals wanting permanent relationships or legal protection for their relationships.

We’re being had.

I believe you’re right... I think this is all part of the left-wing progressives/communists’ sinister quest to deconstruct and destroy the United States of America from within and what better way to go about it than to undermine, redefine, and ultimately eradicate our most foundational building block necessary for a moral society to flourish.... marriage and the traditional nuclear family.

I often wonder why the American left is so hell-bent on ruining and destroying every single tradition and institution that has made our nation the greatest in the history of the planet? I mean, don’t they have to live here too???

[1010RD]

We need to get the numbers on same sex civil unions state by state. What are they to date?

That’s a tell and it will burn homosexual activists with their fake 10% number. If they really want ‘marriage’, then they should be all in for civil unions.

That was the compromise and the proof. We need a state by state comparison starting with the earliest states. The SCOTUS decision isn’t made. Kennedy can be swung round to our side.

That data is key.

[Jane Long]

Facts are stubborn things. I like how you think!

[Venturer]

We’re being had.

Well: WE aren’t but those going along with this crap are.

I don’t really care what the law says. My faith tells me that a marriage is between a man and a woman, and if the State does otherwise it is to their shame, not mine.

I won’t be looking back when we walk from Sodom.

[Maelstorm]

Did anyone take pictures? When the gays are being disgusting around children its useful to give them publicity the negative kind.

What do you think?

[Venturer]

I think most homosexual males are notoriously Promiscuous.

The Females not so much so, but still the real Butch ones are never happy with one woman. They are trying too hard to be males.I would say it’s the older ones who want marriage and mainly for the Benefits and the salary of the one with the best job.

I do not think they realize themselves yet what a hassle it is to get divorced.

[Monorprise]

The sodomites attack again eh?

[Monorprise]

There is a popular saying among the younger generation: “Don’t judge me”
This is taught to us in schools and the whole propose is imply that their acts are not subject to any moral standards nor inherently injurious to others.

Honestly I don’t believe most people who say that have any clue as to what their saying. The fact this IS what is being taught our children in schools with our tax dollars. Its also what our children are being exposed to by the degenerate and self-destructive left in the media.

[DesertRhino]

2%,, no way it’s 10. Thats homo propaganda, nothing more.

Hey folks..............thinking of joining a Cult?
