That sums up the propitiation for sins . . . what are your thoughts on the "much more" aspect, as in Romans 5:10? "For if while we were enemies we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, now that we are reconciled, shall we be saved by his life."" However, love also does not allow others to be harmed ---->But we must be careful that this isn't done out of some self-righteousness or other fleshly motive. Again, better to err on the side of love rather than on the side of judgment toward other believers.

For the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ.
Mercy and truth are met together; righteousness and peace have kissed.


John 1:17 & Psalm 85:11
so those conversion therapies were out of self righteousness and fleshly motive. Now my question to you StG, is how do we preach it as love when our motive is for the person to be converted and recognize it as sin, as our preaching at times does more harm than good for the lgbtq? For example, How would you preach the gospel to lgbtq in your own words?
