Answer:
then they can go forward as do all other members of the Church.
Step-by-step explanation:
Okay, let us fill in the gap from the question below. Note that the words written in capital letters are the missing words to complete the question.
''We love them as sons and daughters of God. They may have certain inclinations which are powerful and which may be difficult to control. Most people have inclinations of one kind or another at various times. If they do not act upon these inclinations, THEN THEY CAN GO FORWARD AS DO ALL OTHER MEMBERS OF THE CHURCH".
Gordon Bitner Hinckley was born on the 23rd day of June, in the year 1910 in Utah United States of America, and he died on the 27th day of January, in the year 2008. During his sojourn on earth he was the President of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter day Saints.
The statement he said above was his response when he was asked about people that have same gender attraction in November, 1998.
He continued further by saying that 'we' --the Church wants to to help them. See it in his own words below;
'' If they violate the law of chastity and the moral standards of the Church, then they are subject to the discipline of the Church, just as others are.
We want to help these people, to strengthen them, to assist them with their problems and to help them with their difficulties. But we cannot stand idle if they indulge in immoral activity, if they try to uphold and defend and live in a so-called same-sex marriage situation. To permit such would be to make light of the very serious and sacred foundation of God-sanctioned marriage and its very purpose, the rearing of families''.
