Summary

"So a few quick words are needed on whether or not same-sexual orientation is “reversible” in this life. And the answer to that question is that you don’t work on people like pastors were mechanics and parishioners were carburetors. For various reasons, the effeminacy of some does lie pretty close to the bone, and that is the battle they will have until they die. For numerous others, their same-sex attraction can be successfully mortified in this life, and they can marry someone of the opposite sex and live a faithful Christian life in an ordinary way, and go to bed every night in a bed with heterosexual residents. What the Revoice project wants is for the church to leave a particular class of lusts and desires entirely alone. If someone is same-sex attracted, that is just the way it is. But if we are simply leaving that set of desires alone, the one thing we should not call it is a robust gospel response. It is more like a robust throwing in of the towel."

0:00.0	Welcome to blog and May blog from Doug Wills.com. This audio was brought to you by
0:10.0	Cannon Press.com. Murder on the Orientation Express, Monday, July 8th, 2019 by Douglas Wilson. Introduction comes now the Amazon Death Star with news that they
0:40.4	will no longer carry books by a gent
0:42.8	named Joseph Nicolose, the founder of what has come to be called
0:47.1	conversion therapy.
0:49.1	Conversion therapy or reparative therapy for minors, therapy designed to reverse
0:55.0	homosexuality, is now illegal. Oh, in loads of places and Amazon is now doing
1:02.4	its part to make sure none of its adult
1:04.4	customers ever encounter any icky versions of wrong think either. But the way
1:10.2	this whole thing is unfolding indicates to me that evangelicals are getting just what
1:15.5	we deserve as opposed to what we actually need on this issue, which is mercy.
1:21.1	And by mercy, I am talking about mercy from God, not from our secular overlords.
1:26.9	They are merciless while he is not.
1:30.6	A Distinction Winston Churchill wants to find an appeaser as one who throws others to the alligator,
1:38.0	hoping to be the last one eaten.
1:40.0	So hold that thought for just a few moments.
1:43.0	Reperative therapy takes many forms, but in the main, it is a secular, psychological approach to homosexuality considered as a problem.
1:52.0	At the same time, secular or not, it is the kind of approach that ought to be fully legal
1:58.0	in any country still pretending to be free.
2:01.0	Depending on the activity, we are teetering on the edge of pretending to be free and
2:06.5	not even pretending anymore. Now when Christians who reject secular psychological counseling for biblical reasons, undertake themselves to help a young teenager walk away from a feminacy and homosexual desire and or practice, they must understand that their approach will simply be categorized by the secularists as a faith-based reparative therapy.
2:30.0	And that would only be if any distinction were to be made at all.
