Australian State Could Send Christians to Jail If They Pray for People With Unwanted Same-Sex Attraction

"What are we, China? This is straight out of China. It criminalizes Christianity." -Fellow conservative commentator Evelyn Rae

(Australia) — [LifeSiteNews.com] Christians in Sydney and throughout the rest of New South Wales (NSW), Australia, could now face five years in prison and fines of up to $100,000 for offering counseling to or praying for "LGBTQA" individuals, even if they say their same-sex attraction or gender confusion is unwanted.

On April 4, legislation known as the Conversion Practices Ban Act 2024 became law, raising alarm among Christians who by merely explaining the Good News of Jesus' power to heal, the immutable definition of marriage, or timeless truths about the complementarity of man and woman, risk being punished as criminals in NSW.

As such, this is a major step toward criminalizing Christianity and the fullness of the Gospel message in "the land down under."

While the NSW government has been careful to assert that the new law has no impact on religious freedom, that is a misleading statement. It will have an enormous chilling effect on non-woke, orthodox Christians who reject neo-Marxist identity politics and the teachings of affirmation-only religious denominations and sects.

Australian commentator Ben Davis described the new law introduced by the NSW government as modern "LGBTQA apostasy laws."

"What are we, China?" asked fellow conservative commentator Evelyn Rae. "This is straight out of China. It criminalizes Christianity." 

"The state has literally become the arbiter of truth and authority and they are now deciding what Christianity is allowed to say and do," she said, adding:

The LGBTQ community is just as much a religion as Christianity, because they're taking a stance right now on what Christians can and can't say. They're taking a moral stance on sexuality and gender. They are just as much a religion as Christianity and the state has said, 'You know what? That religion trumps Christianity.'... Subscribe for free to Breaking Christian News here
