The SNP is possibly the least ‘gay-friendly’ political outfit north of the border but a row has blown up in it after a group of SNP MSPs stepped out to protect freedom of conscience over same-sex ‘marriage’.<\/p>\n

SNP MSP John Mason took the lead, tabling a motion at Holyrood stating that no person or organisation should be forced to be involved or to approve of same-sex marriage.<\/p>\n

That seems resaonable, but a homosexual SNP MEP has insulted his party colleagues calling them ‘bigots’ (of course)
\n
\nThe Daily Express reports<\/a>: ‘Nationalist MEP Alyn Smith joined opposition leaders in berating four SNP MSPs for their \u201cmean\u201d and \u201cangry\u201d stance on gay weddings.’<\/p>\n

The ill-tempered outburst comes just ten weeks after the Church of Scotland voted<\/a> to allow homosexual men and women to become ministers.<\/p>\n

Perhaps it is worth reminding ourselves of what the Lord Jesus Christ said about human sexuality:<\/p>\n

Mark 10:6\u00a0 But from the beginning of the creation God made them male and female. 10:7\u00a0 For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and cleave to his wife;\u00a0 10:8\u00a0 And they twain shall be one flesh: so then they are no more twain, but one flesh.<\/p>\n

And becoming one flesh, in all the beauty and mystery of sexual intercourse, is something a pair of gays or a couple of lesbians can never do.\u00a0 In the words of Dr David Reuben, they are ‘trying to solve the puzzle with only half the pieces’.<\/p>\n

What a pity the Church of Scotland did not vote to minister the saving and healing power of Jesus Christ to people suffering from same-sex attraction.<\/p>\n

Perhaps there are a few names even in the Kirk which have not defiled their garments; the\u00a0 Lord Jesus would say ‘they shall walk with me in white: for they are worthy.’ (Rev 3:4)\u00a0 They may also need a law passed a little like that which John Mason proposes.<\/p>\n
