Why pastors are preaching on biblical sexuality today
by Samuel Sey, Christian Post:
Canada’s new law, Bill C-4, is framed as a conversion therapy ban, but it’s really a Christian therapy ban. And considering the cunning and vague nature of the law, Bill C-4 threatens to criminalize Biblical preaching, too.
When Bill C-4 became law on January 7th, Prime Minister Trudeau said, “It is now illegal to promote, advertise, benefit from, or subject someone to this hateful and harmful practice.”
However, Bill C-4 won’t protect homosexual and transgender people from hate or harm. It’ll actually penalize the people who attempt to protect them from hate and harm.
he preamble for the bill says:
“Conversion therapy causes harm to society because, among other things, it is based on and propagates myths and stereotypes about sexual orientation, gender identity and gender expression, including the myth that heterosexuality, cisgender gender identity, and gender expression that conforms to the sex assigned to a person at birth are to be preferred over other sexual orientations, gender identities and gender expressions … in light of those harms, it is important to discourage and denounce the provision of conversion therapy in order to protect the human dignity and equality of all Canadians.”
Therefore, the bill implicitly suggests the Bible is filled with hateful and harmful myths about sexuality, equality, and human dignity.
