Larry King Live — Interview with Pres Gordon B. Hinckley

On December 26, 2004, CNN's Larry King interviewed President Gordon B. Hinckley of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints on issues "from faith and forgiveness in the world today to the myths and realities of his own church." In this clip, Larry King asks President Hinckley about his feelings on gay marriage or alternative options for gay couples.

I've learned that amidst the darkest times of depression or any other type of sadness, there is always a ray of light. When a person goes through something bad they choose to either learn from it and come out stronger, or learn from it and come out weaker, and more negative. We could sit here and debate but at the end of the day every single person wants to feel happy. When it comes to it every single person wants to feel joy and warmth. This is universal.

you have to look on other people's perspective. others don't see things as

Mormons do. some people can be negative all the time, and i don't think thats their fault.

i honestly think that by trying your best, it doesn't matter if you have made wrong decisions in your life, those decisions will make you much stronger as a person compared with some one that has little experience of life. negative and positve go hand in hand.

good comes from bad, bad comes from good.

Mormons don't see this.

Polygamy isn't practiced anymore? Not on earth, but in heaven it will be practiced, men can have another sealing to another wife, if his wife dies. He keeps both of them in the after life. Who invented plural marriage? I'm not critisizing the LDS or FLDS... if you think polygamy is/was an ordinance from God, I respect your beliefs.

[zmcleod]

Of course Mormon women have a lot of privileges, no one was saying they don't. However, When a wife dies, the man can get sealed to more than one woman, meaning he will have both women or (many) in heaven to help him procreate worlds. Women do not have this option, they cannot get sealed more than once. Even though polygamy is not practiced on earth, polygamy can be practiced in heaven and is considered a celestial law. Unless this has changed recently, someone tell me.

I agree with you techdeck! Jesus taught us to love one another and not to judge! We are also to live by examples and teach our children the right ways to walk not being prejudiced against others and wanting to fight others because of their beliefs and what they do!

[Angie188]

umm... okay... but Mormon women do have plenty of privilages. More then people think they do. Mormons don't believe in having many wives anymore, those are the FLDS, not the LDS. There's a difference.

With all the craziness going around it is such a joy to listen to a prophet's voice, someone so adorable with no guile in his bones.
