Coalition of LGBTQ Groups Press Gov’t To Criminalize Conversion Therapy

Days after a letter signed by 2,500 Christian leaders in the UK was delivered to the Government Equalities Office (GEO), calling for their churches to be exempt from the conversion therapy ban the nation is currently debating, a collective of LGBTQ ne’er-do-well Christian Demon advocacy organizations returned the favor in kind, signing their own letter in support of it and in favor of functionally criminalizing the everyday work of the church.

The UK is currently debating the same sort of conversion-therapy ban that recently became law in Canada, where counseling someone to mitigate, lessen, and struggle against their same-sex attractions would be viewed as a crime and punishable with up to 5 years in prison.

According to Premier Christian News, “during the meeting, government officials were really clear that “it was not the intention of the government to outlaw mainstream Christian religious practice” but were also “adamant that the government is going to introduce legislation outlawing conversion therapy”.

Because those in these LGBTQ advocacy groups are not Christians, but rather deceived, Christ-hating pagans, they rabidly sought to squish any and all exemptions for the clergy, writing in part: (in full here)

It is not the purpose of this letter to offer counterviews to the “Ministers Consultation Response (Ed. Note. The letter against conversion ban)”, rather a pastoral concern to challenge the harm that has been caused to many by the insensitive and ill-informed nature of the document. The pain that many have experienced in seeing their priest or minister, or indeed one local to them, assent to these views ought not to be underestimated.  

We reject the concept of one Christian view on human sexuality and gender identity, as well as one Christian view on conversion therapy. Our affirmation of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, intersex, and queer identities is rooted in a breadth and depth of Christian theology; as is, therefore, our heartfelt and informed desire to see an end to conversion therapy in the United Kingdom, and around the world. 

It is our belief that conversion therapy is indeed clearly defined as: 

“…an umbrella term for a therapeutic approach, or any model or individual viewpoint that demonstrates an assumption that any sexual orientation or gender identity is inherently preferable to any other, and which attempts to bring about a change of sexual orientation or gender identity or seeks to suppress an individual’s expression of sexual orientation or gender identity on that basis.”

We also all believe that conversion therapy is coercive, and that therefore informed consent is not possible. It is important to distinguish between genuine choice, and that which is coerced by virtue or culture, the interpretation of religious teachings, and context. 

We believe that lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, intersex, and queer peoples are made fully and beautifully in the image of God, and that their sexualities and gender identities can neither be cured nor changed – for this is how God has made them to be.  

The conversion ban therapy is expected to be passed in the spring, making UK yet another nation poised to fall to the rainbow army.

    2. “Conversation therapy?” The Gospel Coalition is not to be believed when they contradict the word of God, which they do. Believe the word of God which says that “conversion” by the Holy Spirit is required in order to receive forgiveness of sin, eternal life and escape from eternal damnation.

  1. Of course indoctrination into and coercion into the LGBT lifestyle and practices by LGBT activists is perfectly acceptable. Subsequently redirecting of those who have been deceived by this indoctrination is what they want to become illegal and punishable by prison.

    You can be openly deceived into the lifestyle, but prison time is waiting for those who try to help you come out of it. Sounds like someone attempting to leave a gang affiliation.

  2. Whatever perceived success the “rainbow army” may accomplish by the working of Satan will be short-lived. There is no fear of God before their eyes, for they suppress the warning given in scripture, “He condemned the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah to destruction, having reduced them to ashes, having set an example of what is coming on the ungodly.” ((2 Peter 2:6) Individuals and nations alike need to take heed. Coming to Christ for forgiveness of sins and turning from wicked ways is the only means of hope and escape from eternal damnation for anyone, for we are all born into this world as sinners in need of a Savior, which is Christ the Lord.

      1. The sovereign God of the universe is in complete control and I belong to Him and His word tells me to fear not man. Be warned that it says to “fear Him who is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.” (Matthew 10:28) His word is true and He will bring to pass the judgment that He has promised. Take heed. Repent.

  3. Up to I saw the check four $6520, I be certain that…my… neighbors mother woz like they say truly receiving money in their spare time on their apple laptop.. there best friend started doing this 4 less than nineteen months and at present cleared the loans on there apartment and bought a new Mazda. navigate to this web-site…… https://googlewebincome01.blogspot.com/

  4. Arguments and excuses that will not work on judgement day …

    1) But that is how you made them!
    2) I reject your one view!
    3) But I was born perfect!
    4) …

    1. If it would be stupid to try to argue something with God Almighty on judgement day, then it’s stupid now. His Word says what it says. It will never change. His judgment is final and permanent. You either submit to Him, or you don’t. One or the other. There is no middle ground. There is no compromise. Choose this day whom you will serve.

      1. Right, God’s word is not up for debate. He has spoken it and He will accomplish it, “That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow…And every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father,” (Philippians 2:10,11) No human being in any period of history is exempt.
