Pastor Opposed to HERO Thinks Trans People Need to Be 'Healed'

"David Welch, a Baptist pastor who is well-known in Houston as one of the organizers of the successful campaign to defeat the Houston Equal Rights Ordinance, is becoming almost as well-known for his views of those people who identify as transgender.

The pastor of Bear Creek Church, who draws an average of 3,000 faithful to his weekly sermons, feels "transgender people disrespected the Christian God by wanting a body other than the one he created for them," according to a report in the Houston Chronicle."

Reverend Welch, if you know how to heal trans people, DON'T KEEP IT A SECRET!!! Generations of doctors, psychiatrists, psychiatrists, clergy, and others have tried to do that with zero success. If you've figure out a way, by all means, let us all in on it!
Have you read my short story The Eve of Triumph?

I agree suzi.... I think we have all been "healed" at one time or another. But like a cold sore it just wont go away. This has been said many many times thier perfect god did not make us perfect.... my god may me who I am, my god dont make junk.




The ball is now rolling....I hope it doesnt run me 0ver

I guess the Reverend thinks he is more powerful than God.  I prayed for over 40 years for healing.  I prayed for healing either way and God did not see fit to answer.  So Reverend, which is it. 
Did God create me predestined for damnation?
Does God not care either way?
Did God create me this way?
Or is your concept of God simply not correct?

So Reverend,  you can heal where God has failed.  Then do it and do it today.  Show us your miraculous power.  Or is your power limited to just pontificating about things you know nothing about.  I thought so!!!!!

Love is not obedience, conformity, or submission. It is a counterfeit love that is contingent upon authority, punishment, or reward. True love is respect and admiration, compassion and kindness, freely given by a healthy, unafraid human being....  - Dan Barker

You know the Mr. pastor is absolutely correct. I did need healing. I finally healed .......... and was then allowed to leave hospital. Fortunately I don't think Mr. pastor had anything to do with it. The hospital staff said it was natural healing after surgery. My surgeon had a lot to do with it from the amazingly incredible job she did.

Sadly though the article he's represented in takes a dive for the worse when outlandish claims of "The Womens Restrooms" lack lustre argument enters the fray. Mr. pastor should look a little closer into his own organisation.

The endless atrocities that emanate with sickening rapidity day after day from the Royal Commission into Child Abuse in Institutional Organisations (including the church) that is close to celebrating it's second birthday in Oz, is enough to make you violently sick to the core. Makes his argument look like the Marx Bros, Day At The Circus.

The real elephant in the room for Mr pastor is how many of his brother pastors have desecrated and continue to desecrate the lives of vulnerable boys and girls entrusted to their care? Hummm? Their victims are truly the living dead. Those wounds will never heal, no matter what you do.

Speak to you as soon as Mr pastor pulls his head in and gets a life.
