DID GOD MAKE A MISTAKE ??
DID GOD MAKE A MISTAKE ? Years ago, when I was serving as a Bishop, I had the privilege of interviewing two men on different occasions who had in essence the same question- Did God make a mistake? Let me share their stories. The 1 st we’ll call Joe. Joe was married with several small children and a lovely wife. Both he and his wife were hard workers in the church and in their occupations. Joe was a good guy with lots of great qualities. The one challenge he was facing was a same sex attraction. I admired his candor and his courage. He didn’t know why he had these feelings, but they were real, and he was tired of fighting it. We prayed, read scriptures, testified, shed tears and together felt the Lord’s love for him. Ultimately though, he left his wife and children and the church to follow his attractions and I never heard from Joe again. His wife and children were heart broken but Joe was convinced that in his case, God indeed had made a mistake. James w
