Islington Tribune - LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Published: 9 October 2009
 
Gays and the bible

• AS a follower of the teachings of Jesus Christ, it worries me to hear of a controversy at Islington Council registrar’s office.
If same-sex union is endorsed by lawful government, then it is right and correct for a Christian employed in the registrar’s office to carry out their duties in the appropriate spirit. The bible teaches us that a legitimate government that punishes evil-doers and praises the worthy must be honoured.
Gay people have been persecuted for far too long and in the most deplorable and inhumane manner for any individual to try to find justification in the sacred word for further persecution.
For any gay person who has suffered discrimination or persecution, please remember the words from Luke: “If the world hates you, remember it hated me first.”
David Joseph
Alexandra Grove, N4
