We go forth not to fight 'gainst the sinner, but sin;

The Lawyers’ Christian Fellowship (UK) has published Guidance on the Sexual Orientation Regulations that came into force in the UK on 30 th April 2007. Christians object to these Regulations because they will force them to become involved in promoting or facilitating homosexual lifestyles that are contrary to the teaching of the bible. Christians (especially TSA) does not seek to refuse homosexuals access to restaurants and hospital lists and the whole myriad of basic goods and services to which they are entitled as individuals.

The Regulations are widely misunderstood. Those promoting them talk about the need to eradicate prejudice against homosexuals not realising that without the necessary safeguards these Regulations are creating a new prejudice against those who want to live according to the bible's teaching that all sex outside heterosexual marriage is wrong.

The Lawyers’ Christian Fellowship has produced Guidance on the new law which is available here.

The Guidance should be read in conjunction with the Frequently Asked Questions document.

Also see debate in The UK Times this week to understand how the Regulations are being misunderstood, here and here.

As Fred Fry put it...

"We go forth not to fight 'gainst the sinner, but sin;
The lost and the outcast we love;
And the claims of our King we before them will bring
As we urge them his mercy to prove.

Love and prayers to EVERYONE!
