Scottish Christians Support Ban on Sex Buying
Faith Facts
- Scottish Christians and charities support a bill to make buying sex illegal.
- The Unbuyable Bill includes new support for women leaving prostitution.
- Key Christian voices highlight the bill as a stand against exploitation.
Faith groups across Scotland are backing a proposed law that would make it a crime to purchase sex, aiming to uphold dignity and protect vulnerable women. This initiative, known as the Unbuyable Bill, shifts the legal focus from those selling sex to those buying it and offers help to those seeking a way out.
The Scottish National Party adopted support for this policy in 2017, but it has not yet been enacted. The effort to criminalize buying sex now has new momentum thanks to Independent MSP Ash Regan’s leadership.
Anti-trafficking charity Restore Glasgow, CARE for Scotland, and the Evangelical Alliance are leading Christian support for the legislation.
“The Scottish Government’s Equally Safe strategy states that the definition of violence against women and girls includes commercial sexual exploitation, including prostitution, lap dancing, stripping and pornography.”
Christian leaders assert that current laws do not match these policy commitments, allowing cycles of exploitation and lasting harm to women and girls to continue.
CARE for Scotland emphasized that inaction is unacceptable and called for immediate protection for those at highest risk.
“It would be a genuine tragedy if yet another parliamentary session was to conclude without any definite action to criminalise this recognised form of violence against women and girls,” Stuart Weir of CARE for Scotland warned.
Restore Glasgow believes that passing this bill would be a strong step toward ending human trafficking and the exploitation of women in Scotland.
“It’s time for Scotland to speak up for the unseen, voiceless victims of the sex trade,” said Karen Miller of Restore Glasgow.
Scottish Christians are urging lawmakers to stand up for biblical justice, protect the vulnerable, and oppose the commodification of God’s creation. Stand for faith, family, and freedom by praying for bold legislative action in Scotland.

- Adam Christopher Sheafe, 51, charged with first-degree murder for pinning 76-year-old Pastor William Schonemann’s hands to a wall in crucifixion pose.
- Sheafe sought guilty plea and immediate death sentence in court to deliver quick justice for victims’ families.
- Crime part of alleged plot targeting 14 pastors nationwide due to their Christian faith.
This heinous attack on a devoted shepherd of New River Bible Chapel echoes biblical persecution of the faithful, demanding swift divine justice in our land.
Authorities linked Sheafe via burglary evidence, backpack items, and stolen truck after responding to the April 2025 scene.
Prosecutors filed charges including burglary, kidnapping, theft, trespass, and three attempted murders, vowing to pursue capital punishment.
“It’s an undisputable fact that the victim, Pastor Bill Schonemann, was over 70 years old. It’s an undisputable fact that the crime was heinous in nature. I intended it to be heinous,” Sheafe declared in court.
“From day one, I’ve said I did this. These are the reasons why I did this, and I’m not contesting anything,” he insisted.
In a confession, Sheafe admitted crafting a crown of thorns for the pastor and plotting assaults in cities like Las Vegas and New York while avoiding bystanders.
Believers must rally in prayer for protection over pastors, upholding America’s godly heritage against Satanic assaults on faith and freedom.

- New book weaves her trial with biblical heroes like Jonah, urging perseverance and sharing mercy universally.
Fox News anchor Shannon Bream faced a rare genetic eye condition that caused unrelenting agony, testing her limits profoundly.
Through fervent prayer, she sought divine guidance to the right healer.
“If you’re not going to heal me,” she prayed, “please at least lead me to somebody to help guide me through this and lead me to the right doctor.”
Her ordeal deepened intimate knowledge of Scripture’s promises, transforming intellectual faith into lived reality.
Today, she marvels at simple sights like individual leaves, a miracle post-surgery.
“I’m literally looking out the window at the leaves on a tree, and it’s a miracle that I can see them individually,” she shared.
Bream’s ‘Nothing Is Impossible with God’ profiles figures like Moses and Peter.
It highlights triumphs over doubt, failure, and enmity through divine restoration.
Jonah’s reluctance to extend grace mirrors human biases, yet God pursues all souls relentlessly.
“God is the God of the universe. That means He wants relationship with every single human being, even those you may see as enemies.”

Draw from Peter’s denial to leadership, proving God’s mercy endures.
