It is our hope and prayer that the Church would stand clear in the truth so that it is better equipped to love and help those struggling with homosexuality. But it is not out of judgmentalism, bigotry, hatred or homophobia that we write this rather, it is out of love – love for God and for his word, love for the Church, love for the nation, and most especially out of love for those who are struggling with homosexual attractions.
No doubt some will have stopped reading already, calling the article hateful, homophobic, or anti-Christian.
Amid all the confusion, the Church must stand clear on these issues. Here, we present six reasons that clarify why ‘pride’ and an LGBT lifestyle are unbiblical. So why do so many Christians seem to oppose it? But all of these stories have created a mixed response from Christians confusion still reigns around how Christians should respond to ‘gay rights’ and ‘gay pride’.Īnd when people such as Vicky Beeching proclaim that God ‘accepts you as you are’, the Church of England appears to affirm transgender ideologies, and the gospel to simply ‘love your neighbour as they are’ is being preached, it’s understandable that people assume the Bible must support the cause of LGBT. The issues of ‘gay pride’ and the LGBT ‘agenda’ have featured a lot in the news recently, whether through ITV ‘exposés’ on ‘conversion therapy’, the silencing of an ex-gay X Factor contestant, or news of parents fighting against schools promoting LGBT.
