Ordaining Women
Currently in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints women are not allowed to be ordained in the priesthood. This can be unsettling for some because of the want for equality between men and women and because women can't be ordained they see it as unfair. I am not God, I don't know why things are this way but the prophets have said that they don't even know the truth of all things. This is a divine decision. It is not one that even the prophet can make. We do know that women aren't denied the blessings of the priesthood though. One of the general authorities said that just because someone opens the blinds to let in the sun doesn't mean that they control the suns power. Similarly all that men do is open the blinds. Men don't get any different blessings than women based on the circumstance. It is a subject that requires faith on our part that one day we will have understanding of all things like God. But even god has said that our thoughts are not his thoughts.
