Those are your top news stories we have more news in your next hour. Houn the Shadow Health secretary wes streeting, said in the telegraph this week that christians against gay marriage have a pick and mix approach to faith. He said those who argue homosexuality is sinful cannot choose which of the Ten Commandments they like or dont like. So i wanted to take a moment to talk about why the Shadow Health secretary is right. Accidentally right . Of course, because ignorant course, because his ignorant statement rooted biblical statement is rooted in biblical illiteracy. But in his poor illiteracy. But in his poor attempt to be disparaging towards christians, actually towards christians, he actually makes point. Yes makes a fair point. Yes christians are called to obey all Ten Commandments. We cannot pick and choose which commandments we obey, and we cannot ignore any of them. To cannot ignore any of them. To break one is to break them all. The epistle of james chapter two, verse ten, reads for whoever keeps the whole law but fails in one point has become guilty of all of it. However mr streeting seems to be confused when he speaks of christians against gay marriage. The against gay marriage. The bibles teaching on issues of holy matrimony and sexual city are not founded exclusively in the Ten Commandments. The seventh commandment is thou shah seventh commandment is thou shalt not commit adultery, which means one should not cheat on ones spouse and one should not have intercourse with anyone elses would a elses spouse. That would be a sin. But the bible is also teaching us that fornication is a sin, which means that any sex outside of marriage is a sin. Additional to that, the bible teaches that is a sin and other homosexual activities. Its important to be clear on this, describing something as sinful isnt a judgement from one man to another. Its gods word for an action or thought which separates us from him. God is separates us from him. God is love and god wants the best for us. He teaches us, as any father would, what is good and what is not good for us. He gave us his word so that we might know how to follow his divine order. We have free will, so we may choose not to. And that is sinning. The bible also teaches that marriage is between one man and one woman. Its monogamous and its heterosexual. That is a heterosexual. That is a definition shared with pretty much all of Human History christians, atheists and those of other faiths. Until about five minutes ago. It used to be that words had meanings and we all knew what marriage meant. All knew what marriage meant. There are no christians against gay marriage because christians are in favour of marriage. And christians understand that gay marriage is an oxymoron. Dont marriage is an oxymoron. Dont get me wrong. Some people are same sex attracted and there is something to be said for those who and manage to live lives who are and manage to live lives as saints. Following the teachings scriptures and teachings of the scriptures and living life. Singleness living a chaste life. Singleness can be a good and holy thing for those who are not called to marriage. But theres such marriage. But theres no such thing a christian context as thing in a christian context as gay marriage, and any Sexual Activity outside of marriage is sinful. Is the christian sinful. That is the christian faith. There is no cherry faith. There is no cherry picking there, its high picking there, and its high time our politicians stopped attacking christians for following faith, as following our national faith, as we for nearly we have done for nearly 2000 years. As the message isnt that some people are sinners and we should judge them for it. The message is that we are all sinners different ways and we sinners in different ways and we must repent of our sins and have faith christ. Is how we faith in christ. That is how we are saved, a firming our are saved, not by a firming our sinful but by helping each sinful ways, but by helping each other to sin. No more. Other to sin. No more. The Vice President of programs at peta , peta, sent a letter to at peta, peta, sent a letter to the old bulldog pub group asking them to rename their pub to the old mutt in the belief that this move will help avoid promoting deformed and flat faced dogs and instead help promote mixed breed dogs who are healthier and live longer. The letter concluded longer. The letter concluded with peta offering a contribution to any cost in order to change the name and signs at the pub. So should the pub change its name from the old bulldog to the old mutt, all of which brings me to tonights dual. Which brings me to tonights dual. Task. The which brings me to tonights dual. Task. The name of the pub , the old bulldog, really promote breeding of pedigree dogs. Joining me now on my dual lists, emma webb, uk director of the common sense society, and andrew wyborn, a futurist and lawyer. Andrew futurist , absolutely. And i knew you were going to say that. So what we do, we work around the world helping companies ascertain what the opportunities are and the threats for our things in the future. I talk a lot about al. I talk about technology on that sort basis, talk sort of basis, talk about changing pub names and why its so bad, right, on that sort of basis. You look at basis. Because if you look at the pub it all the history of pub names, it all goes to the romans who used goes back to the romans who used to distinguish what a pub or a place where you could have a glass of wine was as opposed to a and they a general residence. And they used little vine leaves used to put little vine leaves up that when they up to indicate that when they came britain, obviously came over to britain, obviously vine were not so vine leaves were not so prominent, so they would get a bush and they would put that up, which to names such as which gave rise to names such as the the bird and the the bush and the bird and the bush so and so forth. It bush and so on and so forth. It then changed. In 1393, there was an parliament when king an act of parliament when king richard, the second it richard, the second made it compulsory that you have compulsory that you would have a pub identified by a sign, and so you would then get things like the crown because they wanted to be to the king. You would be loyal to the king. You would have the red hart, have things like the red hart, the hart, the red lion, the white hart, the red lion, all sorts things, the all sorts of things, the heraldry. Thats where all heraldry. Thats where it all came so old dog, not came from. So the old dog, not just dog fighting, but just about dog fighting, but its reference that. Itd its a reference to that. Itd be about heraldry, things be a bit about heraldry, things like the, which that they like the, which is that they have two sort of place have on number two sort of place like was actually at like that. It was actually at fighting, youd have look fighting, so youd have to look at pubs and change it on at all the pubs and change it on that sort of basis. But the sign is essential part of the is an essential part of the british we shouldnt be british pub and we shouldnt be messing it. Im with you. Messing with it. Im with you. Amen. Thank you. Amen. Thank you. You. There we go. Thank you. There we go. Thank you. There we go. Is not getting much of a this is not getting much of a i love that bit of history. There this pub in there that this pub in particular, emma, was named because owner. He because of the owner. Well he was his rescue dog. Was inspired by his rescue dog. He a bulldog that he he has a bulldog that he rescued, so he named it after his dog. Do think its his dog. Do you think its promoting the rescuing of bulldogs . It could . Bulldogs . Do you think it could . Peter right. Peter could be right. I just think this is so no, i just think this is so stupid. Theyre petty busybodies. Its busybodies. Yeah, and its something is so sort of something about it is so sort of arrogant churlish and arrogant and churlish and disrespectful owner disrespectful to the owner of the the way the the pub. Even the way that the letter is addressed to him is just so disrespect awful. Yeah. Firstly, you say, theres firstly, like you say, theres an origin story behind this name and seen peter obviously and weve seen peter obviously hooking themselves onto this trend weve seen with black trend that weve seen with black lives where people will lives matter, where people will try bully a pub into changing try to bully a pub into changing its because regarded its name because its regarded as theyve managed to as offensive. Theyve managed to come some way in which come up with some way in which this relation to this is offensive in relation to animal. And now theyre Animal Rights. And now theyre trying pub into trying to bully this pub into saying if you dont do this saying that if you dont do this , promoting the bad , then youre promoting the bad breeding of animals. I love animals. I also have concerns about breeding. But its also i think we have to recognise that theyve gone for the bulldog and look at that beautiful bulldog. This is a National Symbol of british identity. So theyre british identity. So theyre also theyve just happened to pick on a pub name that isnt just a dog that may have some breeding issues, but also a dog thatis breeding issues, but also a dog that is symbolic. Its associated with who . Churchill. Associated with who . Churchill. Somebody else who has been attacked by the vandals and iconoclasts in relation to other progressive movements. So i think that this is disingenuous nonsense from them. And they need to be treated. They need to be treated like children. They need to be told no in the way that you would tell a child no. Yeah, absolutely. Andrew im glad emma touched on that because theyve for because theyve also called for the churchill dog to retired because theyve also called for thewell. Chill dog to retired because theyve also called for thewell. And dog to retired because theyve also called for thewell. And its| to retired because theyve also called for thewell. And its not retired because theyve also called for thewell. And its not just ztired because theyve also called for thewell. And its not just thed as well. And its not just the insurance company. It is like. Mrs. Its a british institution, absolutely. Absolutely. Interesting as and whats interesting as well, doesnt just well, and it doesnt just stop there, whole wokery, there, this whole wokery, because change the because they tried to change the ploughmans lunch in a pub in dartmouth and they wanted to call the plough persons lunch because thought it would because they thought it would be i know its wonderful stuff, isnt it . It has to stop the plough people today. Love the plough people today. I love the alliteration, you could alliteration, though. You could have a post person, have a postman, a post person, all things. It all these sort of things. It makes lot modern plough. Makes a lot of modern plough. Offended a person women so offended a person whole as opposed to a manhole. Those citizens i think we all those citizens i think we have there is a serious have to there is a serious issue. Serious issue is issue. The serious issue is sometimes inbreeding of issue. The serious issue is sometltles inbreeding of issue. The serious issue is somet it is. Inbreeding of issue. The serious issue is somet it is. Inbreeding of issue. The serious issue is somet it is. And 1breeding of issue. The serious issue is somet it is. And ifreeding of issue. The serious issue is somet it is. And if youing of issue. The serious issue is somet it is. And if you lookf issue. The serious issue is somet it is. And if you look at dogs. It is. And if you look at the history the bulldog, the history of the bulldog, thats happen. Thats what tend to be happen. It tend to be some of it was fairly cosmetic as to why they did it. And a of these dogs, did it. And a lot of these dogs, which are very snuff noses, its basically for basically very difficult for them and have them to breathe. And you have similarly cats, adore similarly with cats, we adore cats and all sorts of animals, but theyve been bred in a certain are for certain way which are for cosmetic reasons. I think cosmetic reasons. And i think youre to look at that. Is youre right to look at that. Is that and its cruel. That the right and its cruel. Cruel. Mean, some of its cruel. I mean, some of these they cant these animals, they cant exercise health is exercise their health is impacted and the point impacted by this. And the point that they make that, you know, a mutt live longer, its mutt will live longer, its just. But you know, maybe theyre trying to use this as a way raising some way of raising getting some attention their cause. But attention for their cause. But its a disingenuous its clearly a disingenuous attack trying attack on this pub trying to basically bully and pressure them into changing the name away from something. And you as from something. And if you as you you know, the you mentioned, you know, the historic pub part historic basis, pub names, part of this is the erasure of history. This is erasing our ability to meet our history in our daily life. Some of these pub names are ancient. Absolutely they go they go back to periods of time where you didnt even have the names written on the pubs. It would have just been an image. And in this the case of this particular pub, you mentioned, calvin, pub, as you mentioned, calvin, you has its yes, you know, this has its a yes, its a history, but its its a modern history, but its a distinctive reason for a good distinctive reason for that pub name. And i think that peter just need to get you mustnt rewrite history. And the reason for a lot of the pub signs originally was because illiteracy was obviously enormous. Order to enormous. So in order to identify, these identify, you had these particular what particular pictures. And what tends they tend to tends to happen, they tend to follow particular things, whether hunting whether its hunting or they followed heraldry. We followed heraldry. The reason we have i think there was 150 families that have a red lion as part of their emblem. So what then happens is we have about 600 pubs called the red lion because it followed that sort of stuff, but calling it the old mutt is deliberately derogatory , isnt it . Its sort of where you go for hair of the dog deliberately. You work on that sort of principle. So it has to be peter do some great be wrong. Peter do some great jobs , but i think this is not jobs, but i think this is not going help cause. Can going to help their cause. Can we just remind ourselves we can we just remind ourselves that, same people that, peter, are the same people who wanted to replace to kill two stone, to two birds with one stone, to feed two birds with one stone with one stone . Thats how seriously we should thats how seriously we shothey it a scone as they called it a scone as opposed to a scone. Outrageous. Thats thats outrageous. Thats just theyre not actually so theyre not actually Animal Rights activists this Animal Rights activists at this point, though, because theyre not radicals not protecting their radicals like their radical. And like i say, love and like i say, i love animals. I about animal animals. I care about Animal Rights. Dont want animals rights. I dont want animals to being be bred a way that being be bred in a way that makes suffer makes them makes them suffer and makes them li
