Equal Marriage Discussion in the Belfast Telegraph

From Faith and Pride I have had a letter on equal marriage published in the Belfast Telegraph. The letter was shortened a bit for publication. The original is below. Dear Sir, With reference to Cynthia Campbell’s letter about same-sex laws (Letters, February 12), I would simply like to say that, as a practising Christian who […]

Fencing Around the Gospel

In order to avoid breaking the laws of God (and even the laws of man) we all put additional restrictions on parts of our lives. As long as we, as Christians, recognise the difference between our own restrictions and what the Bible says, these restrictions are a good thing.

My Least Favourite Translation of 1 Corinthians 6:9-10

Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor homosexuals, nor sodomites, nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners will inherit […]
