While I condemn conversion therapy s useless and dangerous. I find that this article goes far beyond that.

“While the denomination doesn’t currently have a live-in program like Quest,” Ferguson says, “it has continued to promote spokespersons who claim to have changed. Yet, most, if not all, of them admit that they are still tempted by those of the same sex. If one has changed, why would they still be tempted? Since my experience, I have had conversations with many Adventists who have tried desperately and prayed for years, but have not had their prayers answered. To say they have not prayed hard enough or with enough sincerity only belittles them and God.”

So we are to take Ferguson’s word on homosexuality over Gods? How does it change that God has called homosexuality a sin? We all struggle with sin. How are homosexuals any different? How is calling on homosexuals to overcome sin through Jesus any different then any other sinner? Why do homosexuals get a pass for their sin, but others don’t? Just some things to think about yes?
