My little brother claims to be a homosexual and even does his homosexual advertising on the myspace. But if he were to apologize to God for his homosexuality and promise not to commit any further crimes of sodomy could he join the glorious ranks of the LDS Priesthood?
To this date he still lives a life of sin and lies but he is my brother so we think that someday he will grow out of the homosexuality.

If he is a practicing homosexual, he would be excommnicated. If he remained chaste and celebate, then he would not have a problem.
NO one, I mean, NO ONE in this world ever died because they did NOT have sexual intercourse, remained a virgin their whole life. The most vocal of the homosexuals seem to think that it's vital that they have SEX, lots andlots of SEX. But, to me, that makes them like rutting animals.

I think it is unlikely (but not impossible) that your brother will "grow out of [his] homosexuality," but perhaps he may choose to refrain from acting on his tendencies in the future. Mormons believe that homosexuality is likely caused by a complex combination of genetics and environment. We believe that most homosexuals don't "choose" their tendencies, and so we don't believe it is a sin to have homosexual feelings. However, all men and women are free to choose how they'll act on their innate tendencies. We are not responsible for our tendencies, but we are responsible for our actions. This is true of homosexuality as well as many other innate human desires and tendencies. Like many religions, Mormons believe that homosexual acts (including sex) are contrary to God's will. Unlike many other religions, Mormons do not believe that homosexual feelings themselves are intrinsically evil.
Homosexual acts can be forgiven. If repentant, those who learn to deal with their tendencies without engaging in homosexual acts (which I'm sure is very challenging!) can join the church and can hold the priesthood.

He did a great number of learn and secure his very own adventure growing to be up in Haiti. this is been a pair of years because I examine the e book, yet as I bear in mind the biggest reason the Priesthood became into no longer prolonged to the blacks became into because of the fact a million) some thing got here approximately around Abraham's time the place a counterfeit Egyptian priesthood became into favored, and a couple of) The perpetuation of voodoo as yet yet another counterfeit priesthood interfered with the business enterprise of the actual Priesthood of Jesus Christ in such places as Africa and Haiti. Even different Christian communities have had situation interior the face of previous superstitions, because of the fact the flexibility utilized by potential of voodoo practitioners is diametrically antagonistic to the actual power of God. it rather is to no longer say that this became into an argument for each guy or woman as much as 1978, yet basically that there have been different matters in different aspects of the international which maximum folk in modern cases might desire to evaluate as to why it appeared to take so long to strengthen the Priesthood advantages to blacks. regardless of solutions you get might or won't be others' evaluations, and that i be attentive to it rather is my opinion besides. Have a happy day, and that i deliver you a digital gummy undergo.

Wow! A "serial" homosexual. As opposed to someone that only had gay sex once or twice? Are you a "serial" heterosexual?

The key is "True repentance".
Since he is still living in sin, then he is not repented.
