That this is even being written of and discussed ought to make every professed Christian fall prone on the ground crying out “Abba, Father, forgive us and we repent of our sin!” but many of those that created this are so-called professed Christians, believe it or not.

In reality? They are NOT Christians. Oh, they might claim to be. They might belong to a denomination, a church, a synod, they may hold a title in a church, they may profess to be theologians and on and on it goes around sinking ever downward — but they, NONE of them espousing such things, on the side of evil, sin, the world can be known or considered as true believers. True Christians. True disciples of the Lord Jesus Christ. For if they were? They would have been renewed of mind and spirit. Transformed by the Supernatural power of the Holy Spirit and while being saved by the free gift of grace given by God? They would also then strive, live to obey, and serve the Lord. Out of love and thankfulness for the Lord’s sacrifice taking their sin upon them, pulling them from being condemned by sin, all are condemned by sin and none are with an excuse or escape — and out of that love, that flowing thankfulness, that discernment comes obedience to the Lord, to His word, to His ways.

We have bishops (read of the known one in the Church of England in the article below), pastors, preachers, and the whole sorry lot saying prayer should be prosecuted. We have people in Christian organizations and of title practicing the perversions, the abominations, the sins of homosexuality and transgenderism, of bisexuality and claiming to be Christian as they say things such as; “all prayer that seeks to change or suppress someone’s innate sexuality or gender identity is deeply damaging and causes immeasurable harm”.

Jayne Ozanne, practicing homosexual (lesbian), rebellious and active proponent of the homosexual and transgender fascism taking place in all Western societies, a member of the General Synod of the Church of England speaking those words.

What of the IMMEASURABLE HARM OF ETERNAL DAMNATION? What of the IMMEASURABLE HARM done to the unrepentant heart and mind of an individual for their sin against God and their refusal to humble themselves and turn from their sin and live Biblically as a true disciple of Jesus? What about the IMMEASURABLE — ETERNAL — HARM that results from that? The eternal damage brought about by being ensnared in sexual immorality, lusts, depravity, and such abominations without ever repenting, without ever coming out of the darkness and into the light and becoming renewed of mind and spirit, transformed by the power of the Spirit of God?

I suggest the ETERNAL damage, the IMMEASUREALBE ETERNAL HARM of being cast into the fiery depths of hell for eternity far surpass any concerns on this temporary earth pertaining to the sexually immoral, sexually deviant, insatiable lusts and fleshly desires of any individual.

Where is the fear of God?

Where is the understanding of the word of God?

Nearly nonexistent even within the professed, now drying up dead bones, terminally ill and dying professed body!

Further on in the article below, Matthew Hyndman, who co-founded the group Ban Conversion Therapy says, “The pernicious power of prayer must be dealt with”.

Only evil views the power of prayer as “pernicious.”

For…

“Satan trembles when he sees the weakest saint upon their knees.”

~William Cowper

Evil knows the power of prayer. That is why this has become the issue it has.

Satan and each of his ministers, minions, and mouthpieces of evil here on earth KNOW the truth while denying it and rebelling from it. They all know the power of prayer and that God is Superior above all. And even evil will submit and succumb to God’s infinite power, wrath, and judgment for disobedience, lying, rebellion, sin and refusing the truth, refusing the light, refusing His Son, Jesus Christ.

And all those in a church, belonging to a denomination, with a title, that professes to be Christian yet abide in and follow the world and its lies? They in truth serve Satan and not God, not Jesus, not the Holy Spirit and they spit upon the word of God?

Woe to them when they are before the Lord in Judgment. Woe to them…

ACP — A Crooked Path

 

Conversion therapy activist calls for the ban to include ‘gentle’ prayer

 

16 June 2021

Reprinted from The Christian Institute

 

The Christian Institute has told the Prime Minister that it is ‘alarmed’ by the latest threat to prayer from a leading lesbian, homosexual, bisexual, and transgender activist.

The letter to Boris Johnson and Women and Equalities Minister Liz Truss, follows Jayne Ozanne’s calls for “gentle non-coercive prayer” on sexual ethics to be included in legislation banning lesbian, homosexual, bisexual, and transgender conversion therapy.

Speaking to The Guardian, Bishop of Manchester David Walker said he supports prosecuting prayer, but does not think “gentle non-coercive” prayer should be included. However, Ozanne, a member of the General Synod, said she would “strongly refute” the concession.

Violation

Ozanne claimed “all prayer that seeks to change or suppress someone’s innate sexuality or gender identity is deeply damaging and causes immeasurable harm”.

Responding, the Institute told the PM: “While the Institute does not oppose a ban that protects people from harmful pseudo-medical practices, the idea that ‘gentle non-coercive prayer’ should be included in a list of illegal actions is alarming. In any event, it would violate the human rights of believers.”

“This view is confirmed by a legal opinion from Jason Coppel QC, one of the U.K.’s leading human rights lawyers, which says a conversion therapy ban encompassing ordinary prayer ‘would be likely to violate Convention rights’.”

‘Dark days’

It continued: “Those pushing for the ban to include ordinary prayer seem to attribute the worst possible motives to those of us who hold different theological beliefs from them. They are not willing to listen to mainstream Christian groups or to their concerns.

“Now they have gone a step further by stating that the legislation should cover not only practices they consider coercive but all forms of prayer, no matter how mild.”

Simon Calvert, Deputy Director for Public Affairs at The Christian Institute, commented: “This latest remark from Jayne Ozanne is very revealing. It shows the focus here is not about protecting people from genuinely abusive behaviour. It’s about criminalising mainstream theology that campaigners on the fringes of the church don’t agree with.

“In Britain, we worked out centuries ago that prosecuting people for praying ‘the wrong kind of prayer’ was oppressive, counter-productive and wrong. Apparently, there are some who want to drag us back to the dark days of prosecuting people for not having the same religion. Thankfully, most people think this is a terrible idea. The U.K. government must make clear that it does too.”

Prayer power

Mr. Calvert concluded: “The Government would do well to remember that the Courts have consistently ruled that mainstream Christian beliefs about sexual ethics and gender are protected by Article 9 of the European Convention on Human Rights and worthy of respect in a democratic society.

“This requires the state to treat those beliefs with neutrality and impartiality. No matter what some activists might think, you can’t outlaw other people’s beliefs just because they offend you.”

Ozanne’s remarks are the latest in a series of calls by lesbian, homosexual, bisexual, and transgender activists for prayer on sexual ethics to be banned.

In February, Matthew Hyndman, who co-founded the lobby group Ban Conversion Therapy, called for Christians to be banned from praying for someone with unwanted same-sex attraction. He denied that anyone willingly seeks out such help and said: “The pernicious power of prayer must be dealt with”.
