General Synod Report - Thursday

http://www.evangelicals.org/news.asp?id=626

[EV News] 1 Mar 2007--This was not a day to have a weak constitution, or to believe that the Bible, being God’s Word, has enduring authoritative value.

The General Synod was treated during two major debates to many attacks on the authority of Scripture. It was asserted by some that modern understandings of sexuality were not foreseen when the Bible was written; so either Scripture is not the Word of God, or God did not know what He had created when He made us.

Synod was repeatedly told that the experience of people, in particular their sexual relationships, must be our primary reference point today and clearly takes precedence over revelation.
