Submission from St Neots Evangelical Church
On behalf of St Neots Evangelical Church, Cambridge
Street, St Neots, Cambridgeshire PE19 1PL, I write to inform the
Committee that Biblical Christianity, ie the Christianity that
regards the Bible as God's Word has no desire to offend any. (1
Cor 10:32; 2 Cor 6:3). However, the Word of God tells us that
the Gospel of God, when proclaimed accurately will offend those
who do not believe that Jesus of Nazareth is the one and only
Son of God, God made flesh, who was crucified, then resurrected,
and ascended into Heaven. (Rom 9:33) Galatians 5:11 tells us that
the Cross of Jesus is an "offence". Therefore, you must
be aware that if true Christianity is to continue in the UK as
a "legal" faith, its message will undoubtedly "offend".
Nothing short than making it illegal will guarantee a cessation
of the "offensive" nature of the Message that He died
in "our" place, that we might be forgiven and receive
eternal life.
