Virginity above Life
Gospel Standards, p. 55; “There is no true Latter‑day Saint who would not rather bury a son or a daughter than to have him or her lose his or her chastity ‑‑ realizing that chastity is of more value than anything else in all the world.” – Prophet Heber J. Grant
Psalm 34:18; “The LORD is nigh unto them that are of a broken heart; and saveth such as be of a contrite spirit.”
Matthew 5:4; “Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth.”
The list of verses to find comfort from the Lord for those who’ve endured such a horrific event in life is extensive. Type the phrase bible verse comfort rape victim into your browser and you’ll see what I mean.
If you’re LDS (or even if you’re not!) the words from the mouth of this so-called man of God are from the pit of hell.
The most important thing in life is just that. Your life! Nothing is above your life and salvation in God’s eyes. He loves you with no strings attached. Because this is a huge problem in Utah as is child abuse I’ve listed it here today.
Your identity is not your virginity. That is not who you are! God created you to have life abundantly and for you to live a life fulfilled in Him as His adopted child.
The words of this man as well as other leaders in the Church – all the way up to Hinckley – are not true. This isn’t what God thinks and it’s not what He wants for you!
