4,000 North American Pastors Unite against Canada's New LGBTQ Conversion Therapy Law, Warn It Will 'Criminalize Christianity'

Billy Hallowell : Jan 18, 2022  Faithwire.com

"This bill, while purporting to protect individuals from coercion and abuse in the form of 'conversion therapy,' will instead criminalize Christianity in our country. This bill's wording is sufficiently broad to allow for the criminal prosecution of Christians who would speak Biblical truth into the lives of those in bondage to sexual sins like homosexuality and transgenderism." -from the Statement

In an article titled, "Bill C-4: How Should The Church Respond?" the organization offered guidance, and directly addressed issues with the law.

"This bill, while purporting to protect individuals from coercion and abuse in the form of 'conversion therapy,' will instead criminalize Christianity in our country," part of the statement read. "This bill's wording is sufficiently broad to allow for the criminal prosecution of Christians who would speak Biblical truth into the lives of those in bondage to sexual sins like homosexuality and transgenderism."

Liberty Coalition Canada expressed worries that even parents could be imprisoned for trying to help their children escape "sexual sin through repentance and faith in the Gospel of Jesus Christ."
