Mormon church leaders have restated the faith's unequivocal position against gay marriage in a letter to members in Argentina, where the government is debating whether to legalize gay unions.
"The doctrine of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is absolutely clear: Marriage is between one man and woman and is ordained of God," said the July 6 letter from church President Thomas S. Monson.

Or what will a man give in exchange for his soul? For whoever is ashamed of Me and My words in this adulterous and sinful generation, of him the Son of Man also will be ashamed when He comes in the glory of His Father with the holy angels.” Galatians 1:8-10 But even if we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel to you than what we have preached to you, let him be accursed. As we have said before, so now I say again, if anyone preaches any other gospel to you than what you have received, let him be accursed. For do I now persuade men, or God? Or do I seek to please men? For if I still pleased men, I would not be a bondservant of Christ. Mormonism is a great deception: They reject Jesus' Word and exchange Them for a lie.
Jessica,
Well said and your scriptures were right on! I think of them as monopoly money, who could be fooled?
Acts 4:11,12 This is the ‘stone which was rejected by you builders, which has become the chief cornerstone.’ Nor is there salvation in any other, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved.”

2 Cor. 6:14. Do not be bound together with unbelievers; for what partnership have righteousness and lawlessness, or what fellowship has light with darkness? 15. Or what harmony has Christ with Belial, or what has a believer in common with an unbeliever? 16. Or what agreement has the temple of God with idols? For we are the temple of the living God; just as God said, "I WILL DWELL IN THEM AND WALK AMONG THEM; AND I WILL BE THEIR GOD, AND THEY SHALL BE MY PEOPLE. 17. "Therefore, COME OUT FROM THEIR MIDST AND BE SEPARATE," says the Lord. "AND DO NOT TOUCH WHAT IS UNCLEAN; And I will welcome you. 18. "And I will be a father to you, And you shall be sons and daughters to Me," Says the Lord Almighty.
Note: We are not only commanded to have no spiritual fellowship with unbelievers, but God states that He will not welcome us and be a Father to us if we reject His advice. Also notice the lack of gray areas in Paul’s comparisons: righteousness – lawlessness, light – darkness, Christ – Belial, “believer – unbeliever”, temple of God (our bodies) – idols.
