Canada does not have the First Amendment nor protections for free speech. It’s why pastors there will eventually be jailed for proclaiming the gospel.

A pastor out west here was ordered by a Human Rights Tribunal to retract a letter he wrote to the editor and given a cease and desist order that basically said he was never to speak negatively about homosexuality again in his life.

Fortunately a court overturned it. But, it could easily have gone the other way.

BTW, his letter was not hateful. He simply stated his Christian viewpoint.

If Canada wants to dig itself into such a self intimidated hole badly enough, running from its own shadow, it will. God will let that happen.

That noted, let me add the following.

The message every serious Christian should bring to homosexuals (and other sinners) is that there is a supernaturally charmed, better way to live. Too often it stops at “it’s a lousy rotten thing to do that” without offering the Lord’s hand up. And sometimes quite a powerful hand is needed to raise the practicing homosexual above pre-existing spiritual burdens which lowered his world view enough to make what he is doing now look acceptable. It is a grief to me that this is not an issue that the church has not approached square on, in person, with the people thus grievously affected.
