People do not choose their sexuality, and homosexuality cannot be cured, no matter what the people from NARTH claim.
People do not choose their sex. They do choose what they intend to do with it or not do with it.
People who report being healed of their sexual addictions caused by abuse (whether this manifested as heterosexual or homosexual)
did NOT choose that abuse either and did NOT choose to suffer.
But these people who did heal, did so through forgiveness therapy
that not only healed the symptoms but the root event that started the whole chain.
Sometimes it happens within this lifetime, the abuse that starts the pattern or cycle.
Sometimes it is traced to karma/generational things that happened before the
person was born, thus they were born with the conditions.
Likewise with cases of cancer cured by healing prayer, some came from
conditions like smoking introduced later; some were born with cancerous genes
or conditions; some cases are still cured even if they were genetic, some are
not even if they were caused by factors that occurred later; it depends on the case.
Some cases the people live their whole lives and do not change.
But this is totally different from people born with the conditions who did
realize it was not natural for them and were able to heal and change that.
Some pray and it does not change, you are right.
We need to let people have their own path and process and not dictate it for them.
People have wanted to commit suicide when they tried to change and it did not work.
So we need to be very careful and let the people work with their own path and process Unconditionally
which will heal any anxiety or unhappiness, REGARDLESS if this changes or that doesn't change.
We need to accept them, either way, or we cause great harm and suffering that doesn't solve the problems but make them worse.
Not try to make it all the same for each person, which it isn't. In a study done on spiritual healing on
Rheumatoid Arthritis, one patient was healed 100% where it was clearly the result of the team prayer,
while others showed no change or effect; nobody chose to suffer from RA, and the
degrees to which the symptoms were reduced or eliminated varied for each person.
People on both sides of the issues are guilty of pushing this way for one viewpoint that excludes people it does not apply to.
Well meaning people who see this, often push their views even harder, and this causes opponents to backlash more, and it does not help either.
The more we fight it blocks the formation of trusting communications needed for progress, we can end up hurting the very people we are trying to help.
It helps to have more compassion if we are going to hear each other, and listen to others as we wish them to listen to what they're missing also.
We can't hear each other if we are both yelling above the fray.
As more advocates realize there is validity on both sides, and
cases that don't fit just one category, we can stop the judging
and promote healing and forgiveness that is going to help
people regardless of what is going on with people. We can
at least heal that part of the suffering by embracing and
including all people from all views unconditionally and quit judging who is wrong.
