Does the LDS Church Shun Members Who Leave, Elders Holland & Christofferson Give Answers
In a 2012 BBC interview, Elder Holland said the LDS Church does not shun members who leave it. He said, "if I had a son or a daughter who left the church or was alienated or had a problem, I can tell you I would not cut that child out of family life." Two years later in a young adult devotional in 2014, Elder Christofferson gave a different message. He said when a family member's beliefs or choices make it impossible to support both the Savior and family member ... our support or tolerance at times is suspended, for the sake of our higher love to the Savior.
This is just another way of saying to shun these family members. Christofferson has laid out a theological argument that any Mormon family could use to shun others. So, when they're talking in a public interview, they can say that we don't cut off family members that have left the church, but when they're talking to the members in a devotional, they teach how the love of Christ is needed to support cutting these people out of our lives.
I encourage everyone to come unto Christ and follow the Doctrine of Christ, as Jesus Christ taught it in the Book of Mormon: https://doctrineofchrist.com/

En una entrevista de la BBC de 2012, el élder Holland dijo que la Iglesia SUD no rechaza a los miembros que la abandonan. Él dijo: "Si tuviera un hijo o una hija que dejara la iglesia o fuera alienado o tuviera un problema, puedo decirles que no sacaría a ese niño de la vida familiar". Dos años después, en un devocional para jóvenes adultos en 2014, el élder Christofferson dio un mensaje diferente. Dijo que cuando las creencias o elecciones de un miembro de la familia hacen que sea imposible apoyar tanto al Salvador como al miembro de la familia... nuestro apoyo o tolerancia a veces se suspende, por el bien de nuestro amor superior por el Salvador.
Esta es solo otra forma de decir que eviten a estos miembros de la familia. Christofferson ha presentado un argumento teológico que cualquier familia mormona podría usar para evitar a los demás. Entonces, cuando están hablando en una entrevista pública, pueden decir que no cortamos a los miembros de la familia que han dejado la iglesia, pero cuando están hablando con los miembros en un devocional, enseñan cómo el amor de Cristo es necesario para ayudar a eliminar a estas personas de nuestras vidas.
