The latest discussion occurred in January, when her co-worker remarked that she was unhappy that she could not \u2018marry\u2019 her partner because of the Church\u2019s beliefs, and stated that she thought God had nothing against homosexual behavior.<\/p>\n<p>When Mbuyi replied by explaining the biblical position on the matter, she was reported to her boss.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen I said \u2018No, God does not condone the practice of homosexuality, but does love you and says you should come to Him as you are\u2019, she became emotional and went off to report me to my manager,\u201d Mbuyi stated in a press release.<\/p>\n<div>\u201cI never ever condemned her, or accused her, but when she asked me directly what I believed, I was open about sharing the Bible\u2019s teaching that homosexual sex (not the people) is wrong,\u201d she continued. \u201cIt\u2019s clear that this offended her and she was determined to get me sacked, simply because I expressed traditional Christian beliefs.\u201d <a href=\"http:\/\/christiannews.net\/2014\/04\/22\/uk-childcare-worker-fired-after-explaining-biblical-position-on-homosexuality-to-co-worker\/\" target=\"_blank\">Click here<\/a> to continue reading.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Heather Clark Christian News&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[614,17,113,385,45],"tags":[42,2919,2932,173,585,1296],"class_list":["post-15384","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-world-in-crisis","category-children-at-risk","category-homosexuality","category-freedom-signs-of-the-times","category-signs-of-the-times","tag-persecution","tag-signs-of-the-times","tag-homosexuality","tag-freedom","tag-united-kingdom","tag-uk","wpcat-614-id","wpcat-17-id","wpcat-113-id","wpcat-385-id","wpcat-45-id"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v28.4 (Yoast SEO v28.4) -
