This echoed the words of Elder M. Russell Ballard who has taught that “men and women are equal in God’s eyes and in the eyes of the Church, but equal does not mean the same. The responsibilities and divine gifts of men and women differ in their nature but not in their importance or influence. God does not regard either gender as better or more important than the other”
The different gifts and roles of men and women are intended to complement each other. “The natures of male and female spirits complete and perfect each other, and therefore men and women are intended to progress together toward exaltation” (Elder David A. Bednar, Ensign Feb. 2006). It was never intended that man or woman be alone. As President Boyd K. Packer taught, “At first, Adam was alone. He held the priesthood, but alone, he could not fulfill the purposes of his creation. No other man would do. … Except Adam and Eve by nature be different from one another, they could not multiply and fill the earth. The complementing differences are the very key to the plan of happiness”
If you make such a radical declaration in front of a liberal these days, they’ll ask you to prove it. And you can prove it. You could tell them to close their eyes and imagine that gasoline is soda pop, and then go to a gas station and spray the nozzle into their mouths to see if their emotions are actually capable of overriding physical realities. Or you could tell them to believe really hard that they can fly, like R. Kelly says, and then jump off the Grand Canyon to test the song’s accuracy. But if you do that, you’ll end up with a lot of liberals choking on gasoline or splattered all over the ground. That doesn’t seem like the most Christian way to win an argument.
And here lies the great irony. The people who are the most opposed to free expression are the same people who want to express themselves as freely, outrageously, and disturbingly as imaginable. Self-expression is a right that they want to keep all to themselves. The rest of us must express ourselves in a way that conforms precisely to their wishes. They demand that we adjust our language — adjust our perception of reality itself — to meld with their delusions. "Here is the script you must follow," announces the man who refuses to even follow his own biology.
