This approach can give them a chance for healing from the wounds that Satan, society, and other churches have imposed on them. He did not require us to become perfect, then open His love to us. We are never called upon to engage government any where in Scripture. Legislating morality is a fruitless effort. God clearly showed us that in the history of the Israelites in the Old Testament.
Law solves nothing.
Only a change of heart and spirit is what is important and will create true change. Driving people away from God and away from our churches is not the churches' job. Yet it is what we have done. It is what countless homosexuals have had to overcome in order to come to, or return to, a faith in Jesus Christ. Reparative therapies, which are psychological interventions to change the homosexual into heterosexuals, have been condemned by the American Psychological Association, the American Medical Association, and the American Psychiatric Association as more harmful than beneficial.
