“But if the watchman see the sword come, and blow not the trumpet, and the people be not warned; if the sword come, and take any person from among them, he is taken away in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at the watchman’s hand.” [Ezekiel 33:6]

[2] Free Church of Scotland Moderator Emeritus Condemns Mandatory LGBT Education

A 6 July 2016 Christian Concern article titled “Free Church of Scotland Moderator Emeritus Speaks against Mandatory LGBT Education” reports that Free Church of Scotland Moderator Emeritus the Rev. David Robertson spoke out against Scottish National Party leader Nicola Sturgeon’s proposal to implement mandatory LGBT education In Scottish schools, saying:

“We are concerned that what is being proposed is not teaching children facts but indoctrinating them with a particular political/sexual philosophy.

“The bottom line is that we are opposed to our state education system being used for social engineering and for foisting propaganda upon children.

“We believe that no one should be subject to bullying but that the way to combat bullying is to teach people respect for all human beings, not to indoctrinate children.”

“We believe that if this policy is accepted and acted upon, it will result in confusion and brokenness amongst our children rather than fulfilled potential.

“It is a policy that will bring untold disaster and harm upon Scotland’s children. This is nothing less than state sponsored indoctrination of the weakest and most vulnerable members of our society.

“To tell children that they can choose their own gender is a recipe for misuse and abuse. Teaching children they can choose their own gender is itself a form of child abuse.”
