Gay Legislation Trumps Religious Freedom in the UK

What is going on in the UK? In what amounts to a legal rejection of the Right to Religious Freedom, it seems that Christians are a casualty of the homosexual equality/equivalency agenda. Apparently tolerance and equal protection under the law does not include those of the Christian faith.

Dale McAlpine, a British Baptist street preacher, was arrested and jailed on April 20 by a homosexual police community support officer (PCSO) for allegedly saying homosexuality is a sin according to the Bible.

Intolerance of Christianity grows in England and threatens the very foundation of Western civilization.

Don’t worry, when the Muslims take over Christianity & gays will go first.

[Verginius Rufus]

How soon before copies of the Bible have to omit the verses which condemn homosexual behavior?

Maybe it will be OK if they just leave the offending verses in the original language, like the Loeb Classical Library used to do for the racier passages in Greek and Roman authors.

But MUSLIMS wont have to worry

INDEED.

HORRIFIC MANY TIMES OVER.

Nothing new. For years now liberal polemicists have engaged in laborious attempts to negate the Biblical condemnation of homosexuality, and to find sanction for the same, using a hermeneutic which effectively negates any moral laws, and or the Divine authority of the Bible. These specious attempts being refuted (see below), they now seek to silence the Bible thru the judiciary. Per usual.

Gary David Comstock, Protestant chaplain at Wesleyan University, termed it “dangerous” to fail to condemn the apostle Paul’s condemnation of homosex, and advocated removing such from the canon. (Gary David Comstock, Gay Theology Without Apology (Cleveland, OH: Pilgrim Press, 1993), p. 43. http://www.albertmohler.com/article_read.php?cid7) Episcopalian professor L. William Countryman contends, “The gospel allows no rule against the following, in and of themselves: . .. bestiality, polygamy, homosexual acts,” or “pornography.” (Dirt, Greed, and Sex (Fortress, 1988) Christine E. Gudorf flatly denies that the Bible is the primary authority for Christian ethics. (Balch, Homosexuality, Science, and the “plain Sense” of Scripture p. 121) Bishop (Ret.) John Shelby Spong denies all miracles, including the virgin conception and literal bodily resurrection of Christ, as well as the Divine inspiration of Scripture, and denies that there are any moral absolutes (Michael Bott and Jonathan Sarfati, “What’s Wrong With (Former) Bishop Spong?”) and relegates the clear condemnation of homosexual relations in Romans 1 to being the product of the apostle Paul’s “ill-informed, culturally biased prejudices.” (Spong, Living in Sin? A Bishop Rethinks Human Sexuality, 149-52)

You mean the Book that for 5000 YEARS has been the MOST influential BOOK in Western Civilization, The Book that Altered the Course of History, The Book that Changed the Lives of Untold MILLIONS of people throughout the Milennia, The Book that has directed the movement of Peoples across the sands of time and space, and documented what billions believe is the Communication Of The Supreme Ruler of the Universe with His Creation and his Dwelling Amongst Them,THAT BOOK? That is evidently not on a par with the Enlightened and Finely Tuned Sensibilities of These learned gentlemen?
I know that is a run on sentence, but I am truly stunned.

5000 YEARS .......that would be 2,000 years

I read the Old testament too. The Scripture don’t start with MATTHEW!

I read the old testament too, but the article was discussing the bible and what should be taken out of it....The modern bible, including the old testament, is about 2,000 years old....granted its’ ideas are as old as time itself, but the book is about 2,000 years old

Thank God that you have eyes that see, while one will notice that in the preeminent N.T. chapter on homosexuality, it reveals that the practice and promotion of this immorality is a result of souls who, “Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools.” (Rm. 1:22)

May God give them grace to repent and be saved thru faith in the Lord Jesus, and us to obtain our victories in holiness also.

Thank you. Rather than argue about how OLD the Word of God is, (when in fact, it is ETERNAL, LOL)some people on this thread, like you and me, are more concerned about what it SAYS!. Be Blessed in the beauty of holiness, my FRiend and my you grow and prosper in the Grace of Our LORD.
