Re: Coop Bars Christian Voice For Ant-Homosexual Views

Christian Voice's response: http://www.christianvoice.org.uk/Press/press001.html

"Stephen Green retorted: †œOf course we make †˜discriminatory pronouncements on grounds of sexual orientationââ ¡Ã‚¬Ã¢â€žÂ¢. We have been criticising homosexual rights ever since we started eleven years ago. Standing up for righteousness is what we do. www.christianvoice.org,uk In fact you could say there are dozens of such pronouncements in my own book †œThe Sexual Dead-Endââ‚Âà ‚¬Ãƒâ€šÃ‚, which was published in 1992. It is a conviction of our Christian faith that homosexual activity is sinful; in fact that it is an abomination in the eyes of God. It is also a conviction of ours that the Lord Jesus shed His precious blood to forgive the sins of all who put their trust in Him, including sexually-active homosexuals. We told the Co-op bank when we switched to them three years ago that we were a voice for Biblical values and that we promote traditional family life. They raised no problem with that at all, and at no time did they tell us about their militant pro-homosexuality."

Abomination, as opposed to sinful, is a pretty strong word.
