‘Oku valokiʻi ‘e Sēkope hono kakaí koeʻuhí ko e anga taʻe maʻa fakasekisualé
Ko e fakamatala ‘eni naʻe fai ‘e Palesiteni ‘Eselā Tafi Penisoni. Mateʻi mai ‘a e foʻi lea ‘e ua ke fakakakato ‘aki ‘a e fakamatalá:
“Ko e angahala fakamalaʻia ‘o e toʻu tangata ko ‘ení ko e ” (“Cleansing the Inner Vessel,” Ensign, May 1986, 4; sio ki he ngataʻanga ‘o e lēsoní ke maʻu mei ai ‘a e tali totonú).
Lau ‘a e Sēkope 2:22–23, 28, pea fakaʻilongaʻi ‘a e ngaahi kupuʻi lea naʻe ngāue ʻaki ‘e Sēkope ke ne fakamatalaʻi hono mamafa ‘o e anga taʻe maʻa fakasekisualé. ‘E tokoni kapau ‘e mahino ‘oku ‘uhinga ‘a e foʻi lea feʻauakí ki he ngaahi angahala fakasekisualé.
Naʻe fakamatalaʻi ‘e ‘Eletā Lisiate G. Sikoti ‘o e Kōlomu ‘o e Kau ‘Aposetolo ‘e Toko Hongofulu Mā Uá ha ngaahi ngāue ‘oku nau maumauʻi ‘a e fono ʻa e ʻEikí ki he angamaʻá: “Ko e fetuʻutaki fakasekisuale kotoa pē ‘i tuʻa ‘i he ngaahi haʻi ‘o e malí—ko ‘eku ‘uhingá ki ha fetuʻutaki pē ‘aki ‘a e ngaahi kupu toputapu ‘o e sino ‘o e tokotaha kehe; ‘o tatau pē pe ‘oku vala pe taʻevala—ko ha angahala ia pea kuo tapui ia ‘e he ‘Otuá. Ko ha maumau-fono foki ha feinga ke fakaʻaiʻai ‘a e ngaahi ongo ko ‘ení ‘i hoto sino pē ‘oʻotá” (“Making the Right Choices,” Ensign, Nov. 1994, 38).
‘Oku toe maumauʻi foki ‘a e fono ‘a e ‘Eikí ki he angamaʻá ‘e he ngaahi tōʻonga homosekisualé mo e sio ‘i he ponokalafí.
Fakatokangaʻi ange ‘a e anga ‘o e feinga ‘a e kau Nīfaí ke fakatonuhiaʻi ‘enau ngaahi angahalá, ‘o hangē ko ia kuo tohi ‘i he Sēkope 2:23–24. ʻAi ha kiʻi taimi ke ke fakakaukau ai ki he anga ‘o e feinga ‘a e kakaí ke fakatonuhiaʻi ‘a e anga taʻe maʻa fakasekisualé ‘i he ‘ahó ni.

Ka neongo iá, naʻe fekau ‘e he ‘Otuá ‘a ‘ene palōfita ko Uilifooti Utalafí ke fakangata hono fai ‘o e mali tokolahí (vakai, Fanongonongo Fakamafaiʻi 1 ‘i he Tokāteline mo e Ngaahi Fuakavá).
