Correct, based on the definitions of the words.
So - if you are agree with my initial claim that you were deciding what was necessary or chosen - why did you dispute it in the first place?
Do you think gay kids choose to be raised in families that don't accept them?
A couple of things I disagree with here on a fundamental level.
First - I do not believe that anyone is born a sinner (i.e. homosexual).
That is an idea contrary to the Word of God and the doctrines of the Church.
They may be born with an attraction to the same sex - but that attraction does not automatically determine action.
Second - no one is defined by their sins (in this case sexual orientation).
Someone not agreeing with your behavior does not mean that they do not love or accept you.
There are things about me that I know my family does not like or agree with - but they still love me and accept that that is who I am.
Lastly - no one can choose which family they are born into - but they can choose whether or not a situation can be painful.
An LDS parent not agreeing with homosexuality does not - by itself - lead to a painful situation for a child who decides to act on their same-sex attraction.
It would be unreasonable for anyone to demand that someone would need to agree with everything that they do in order to love and accept them.
That they wouldn't choose for the situation to be different if they could?
We all have power over our own lives.
All parents - at one time or other - are going to disapprove of something that their child does.
It is up to the child to decide how to react to that.
Those situations obviously aren't necessary, because many parents have gay kids and do accept them.
I believe that a parent teaching their children what they have come to believe is true is
always necessary.
If you believe that we need to agree with everything about everybody - in order to accept them - that's fine and you are free to teach that to your children.
If you believe that we don't need to agree with everything about everybody - in order to accept them - that's fine and you are free to teach that to your children.
Disagreeing with someone's behavior does not
necessarily need to lead to pain of any kind.
Although - I would argue that there are times and situations where pain
is necessary and it can do everyone much good.
