It is appropriate for this thread, unless you intend for people to not actually follow your links and see what this is all about. Are you just looking for blind support?

I think it is great that someone wants to help homosexuals leave the lifestyle. I also think it is great that someone wants to share the gospel with them. I don't think it is great to scam them into feeling "okay with God" when you aren't giving them the true gospel. You might as well give them their 12-step program and emphasize a higher power like alcoholics anonymous. I would feel better about that because the AA people don't pretend to be offering salvation and eternal life with their freedom from alcohol abuse counseling.

This might work as therapy (a good thing on a temporal level), but it also may secure their place in hell better than if they stayed with the sin. At least then they won't have a false assurance of eternal life. It isn't love to mislead a person with false eternal assurances.

Precisely why your discussion should remain in the religion section where it's appropriate to discuss theological issues.
