Religious leaders should respond with a demand for the Foreign Office to reinterpret their LGBT policy in line with the Bible.

Americans forget that the Anglican Church in England is a creation of the state in Britain and remains a state Church with the British monarch as the titular head of the Church.

Yes, the British now practice freedom of religion, but that is separate from church-state relations between the British government and the Anglican Church in England.

To get the British government completely out of Church affairs, the Parliament would have to sever the ties of the British monarch and government from the entanglement with the Anglican Church in England, which is historic. It is not just a matter of law, but of 100s of years of national tradition.

[Hebrews 11:6]

I’ve reasoned to this speculative understanding: Paul, while writing as a man, wrote circumspectly in verse 26 about women just out of a sense of decorum; whereas in verse 27 about “men” he spelled it out thoroughly, no holds barred—so to speak.

Here’s the Amplified Bible:

“For their women exchanged their natural function for an unnatural and abnormal one,

And the men also turned from natural relations with women and were set ablaze (burning out, consumed) with lust for one another-—men committing shameful acts with men and suffering in their own bodies and personalities the inevitable consequences and penalty of their wrong-doing and going astray, which was [their] fitting retribution.”
