One group is claiming that “the Bible affirms trans, intersex, and queer people,” and providing evidence to back it up. According to Christian Post, LGBT Faith UK — an Anglican group associated with the Church of England advocacy group “Changing Attitude” — published a resource guide to its website, including information about how “The Bible affirms Gays and Lesbians,” how “The Bible affirms Bisexuals,” and how “The Bible affirms trans and queer people.”Under the website’s “About” section, the group writes, “This site is affirming of people of faith outside of the cis gender and heterosexual majority. All are children of God and deserve respect and affirmation.”READ MORE: What the Bible actually says about abortion may surprise youChanging Attitude, which was founded by retired Anglican priest Colin Coward, “said it wants to transform what it describes as the Church’s ‘patriarchal, heteronormative, white, western privileged culture’ into one that ‘unconditionally embraces lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, intersex, and queer people,” Christian Post reports.To justify its argument that “The Bible affirms Gays and Lesbians”, LGBT Faith UK points to the relationship between Ruth and Naomi, as well as the relationship between King David and Jonathan.”These two stories are same-sex relationships told in the Bible,” the group writes. “The Bible is completely positive about these relationships. There are other examples of LGBTQI people and situations in the Bible.”British Catholic cleric Calvin Robinson, according to Christian Post, “recently warned Americans to avoid the same mistakes that he said are leading to the destruction of his mother country.”Robinson, who now pastors a Michigan church, told the news outlet, “The Church of England has become very liberal in terms of divorce, sex outside marriage. And every time the Church tries to be more inclusive, it actually becomes more exclusive to Christianity and to Christian values, and more inclusive to worldly values and just further plummets that downward trajectory. It’s a great shame.”READ MORE: An atheist explains why America should ‘become more truly Christian’Christian Post’s full report is available here.
