I received this question from an Anonymous comment to my last post: "What Does Ex-Gay or Change Mean to Me":
"What do you think about Alan Chambers saying Reparative Therapy doesn't work, that 99.9% of 'ex-gays' still have SSA, and that gays can go to heaven just by believing in Jesus?"
I appreciate your questions. I have corresponded with Alan
via email about his statements a few times. For brevity’s sake, I will respond to the
first question here and the second question in a second post (See Part 2: Question on Salvation). First I’d like to start out with the areas where I agree with Alan. My faith in Christ
and my moral convictions are independent of whether or not my SSA (Same-Sex
Attraction) is ever “cured.”
