Excellent….Thank you
I would pledge and ban my entire family to enter this game if it was for real. Awesome series
I’m not even pro lgbtq community, but I still believe this therapy is extremely harmful
Pence was the product of conversion therapy, makes sense doesn't it. Personally, I had conv. therapy tried on me as a child, have the scars on my wrist to show for it. It kills.
But aint homophobia in fr just about every religion?
Conversion therapy is an act of self-harm.
California fights for the sanity of all its children by baning this christo-fascist form of torture in 2012.
“May the Lord forgive you. Pray child. Pray the gay awayâ€ÂÂ
😂😂add a southern accent to that
If one assumes the female role, is how I am interpreting these relationships – and one assumes the male role, at least how it appears in the video clip, then is their heart actually leaning towards a male/female relatiosnhip? It seems that even in this sort of relationship that is the overriding impulse. It just never appears as two purely effimnate women, or 2 masculine men.
I just saw the film. Honestly, they were fairly gracious to both sides. They allowed both sides to be accurately represented. For this I give them credit.
Heard testimonies from gays and ex gays who said that this movie was a lie. The creator was paid millions to lie to people. If we really cared about gay people, we would tell and share the truth, not propaganda.
how did this documentary make the cut?
It’s not about change (you can’t change your sinful nature, God gives you His alongside) it’s about sacrifice. Before Genesis 1:1 the Lord Jesus Christ knew that to love YOU was going to cost Him His life and He willingly gave it up for You, justifying € sanctifying you in His Resurrection. Why can’t you be a living sacrifice to His glory & honor , out of true pure love?! Yes, He accepts you as you are today but He loves you too much to leave you that way , so He gives you the power and grace and Word to reflect His image, and not be dominated by sin, so to enter His Kingdom by grace. Whoever is faithful till the end will receive the crown of Life. Why be/live what the Devil and others have caused us to become? When we can be born again/from above/ of God? Our true identity is in Christ and His Spirit makes manifest our true self/being/ IDENTITYâ£︠Get on your knees and ask Him if this is true or false – He shall reveal it to you💜
We have been FORGIVEN by Him and believing it is powerful to change & transform. PLEASE let’s not believe a deleterious lie, deception & nemesisðŸ™ÂÂðŸÂ½May the Lord embrace you, kiss you & smile upon you🌹🕊🌿
Christian Community Placement Center is one of those programs.
This guy Ryan Murphy’s hatred for Christianity is played out
Film is misleading and not accurate.
How do people dislike this? Wth is wrong with you people?
Die Arte-Doku zum Thema (https://youtu.be/Vu8Cgffcjvs) hat mich tief erschüttert. Homosexualität ist keine Krankheit und braucht keine Heilung. Bei bestimmten Ausprägungen von Religiosität bin ich mir da nicht so sicher…
Edit: Since the documentary I relate to is only available in German and French, I decided to write my comment in German. Gay conversion "therapy" is also a problem outside of the US, and I was deeply shaken by the documentary I mention above. When I watched "PRAY AWAY" on Netflix, at first I thought it was pro-conversion, but since I know Netflix isn't like that, I somehow made it though the first part. Well, you know, I'm not anti-religions, but it is just so wrong to tell a religious LGBTQ person that god doesn't love them the way they are!!! I mean, what god could possibly reject one of his creations for doing something that makes them happy while doing no harm at all to other people?
As a heterosexual woman, I wouldn't want anyone in the world to try and "convert" me into being gay, and I guess that what feels wrong to me must feel just as wrong to anyone else regardless of their sexual orientation. LOVE IS LOVE, and it's the most prescious thing in the world. So if you find someone you love and who loves you back, thank the Lord, thank the Universe or whatever you think brought you together, and ENJOY the presence of each other because hey, life is pretty short and hardships are waiting around the corner. So if God exists, I believe that He wants all of his children to be happy with the one(s) they love while they can.
Didn’t God know beforehand that these people would be gay even before they were born or even before he created the universe, earth and people?
Wow another christian problem. Gay love is natural it’s all over nature no matter what you think your fake god tells a man who writes a book.
Show me where Jesus said "Pray the gay away"
He said "Come as you are" and "Pray that you don't enter temptation"
Nicki minaj is the true wayâ¤ï¸ÂÂðŸ›ÂÂ📿ðŸ™ÂÂ🙠follow her and you shall be free ðŸ™ÂÂðŸ™ÂÂ
All these Baptist regurgitating versus from a 17th century book called the King James Bible. Why would anyone read a version of the Bible written 400 years ago for the benefit of an English King? SMH.
I'm definitely going to watch
God's Word calls for all people everywhere to repent and believe in Christ. That means we are called to repent from everything God calls "sin". For me at age 13, that meant repenting from lust(including my viewing of pornography), anger, and pride. Could my struggle with sin cause fear, self-hatred, or trauma? Maybe. But does God, who created us, know best or not? For the person who is tempted by same-sex attraction, they are called to repent of that because God calls it "sin". Sure, you can find some scholars who will insist that the Bible doesn't call homosexuality a sin. But their interpretation of the text is suspect. This comes down to an issue of authority. Is God's Word true? Is it reliable? Is it inspired? Is it inerrant? Does it carry God's authority on this issue and others? If you reject the Bible as being false, then you have no reason to even have this discussion. This discussion is for those who still wish to claim faith in Christ. Do we question the narrative that homosexuality is absolutely fixed and that repentance from homosexuality is bad for people, or do we question God's word, and two thousand years of study and Christian reflection upon the text?
Blasphemy against God …
But what does the BIBLE say? ðŸ¤â€Â
Haa gaaaaaaaaay
This is demonic
There’s only one flag to unite under
Love is love 🌈ðŸÂ³ï¸ÂÂâ€ÂÂ🌈🌈ðŸÂ³ï¸ÂÂâ€ÂÂðŸŒËâ€
If prayers worked we wouldn't need hospitals
That thumbnail is so true.
And yet yal arel for full term abortions and gender conversion of toddlers.
That thumbnail is an abomination.
When I was a Christian I used to think homosexuality was immoral for no other reason than just because the Bible said so. I'm so glad I'm not a Christian anymore.
