The Bible Says…

“Homosexuality is a sin. The Bible tells us that.” That is a reaction I get often if I talk of LGBT issues, especially of late when I’ve said quite clearly that my position has changed somewhat, and now is the time for our wee church to take a stand, and provide liturgies for same-sex blessings that bishops can attend. Now is the time for us to say that we will consecrate an openly gay man or woman to be a bishop if we feel that is what the Holy Spirit is telling us we should do, and that person has been called by God to be a bishop.

Have a wee read here! An excellent article!

    I DONT KNOW WHAT BIBLE YOU ARE READING IT IS A SIN YOU ARE NOT THINKING ABOUT MARRYING TWO BUFFTES MAYBE SOCIETY CHANGES BUT GOD DOES NOT LOVE THE SINNER BUT HATE THE SIN DO NOT ENCOURAGE IT

    Problem is that God loves all of us equally, gay or straight. The Church tells me I can bless a same-sex relationship, as long as I don’t invite the bishop. There’s some hypocrisy going on here!
