A church minister who heckled Jeremy Corbyn as a 'terrorist sympathiser' wrote a series of homophobic and anti-gay marriage messages on social media.

Church of Scotland Minister Reverend Richard Cameron stood by a series of controversial tweets after shouting Islamaphobic remarks at the Labour leader in Glasgow.

Cameron posted that "homosexual behaviour is a sin" and said "allowing children to change their gender is wicked".

The Scotstoun Parish Church minister, whose Twitter handle is Pastor Richard @thebiblestrue, told the Daily Record he retweets the posts because he shares the same views.

In September he tweeted: "Christ has the power to help and change anyone. Obviously many gays hate this because want to carry on in their perversion."

On Tuesday he retweeted a post which read: "How can raising a boy as a girl not be child abuse? It is emotional, mental and sexual abuse surely?

"We must get serious about praying for a society, such as ours, which has plumbed such depths in parenting and care for our children. #prayer #children.'

When shown this tweet Cameron confirmed this was his account and said: "I didn't write that but I retweeted it. I stand by it and absolutely agree with what it says."

He also shared a series of controversial views on Islam, describing terrorism as "a problem Islam needs to deal with", a full face veil as "oppressive and unBritish" and the prophet Muhammad as "a violent man".

He also shared a link to a Jacob William Rees-Mogg You Tube video and said "Jacob Rees Mogg explains eloquently why he opposes all abortion and voted against same-sex marriage."

On November 8 he encouraged his followers to resist Stonewall, a lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender rights charity.

Cameron branded Corbyn a 'terrorist sympathiser', and said 'I thought you'd be wearing your Islamic Jihad scarf, Mr Corbyn' during the Labour leader's visit to Glasgow today.

He approached the politician when he visited the Heart of Scotstoun community centre on his on his 48-hour tour of Scotland.

He can be heard on camera shouting: "Who’s going to be the first terrorist invited to the House of Commons when you’re prime minister?"

Cameron said he had no regrets over how he handled the situation and branded Corbyn a 'dangerous' man.

He added: "I'm not scared to voice my concerns. I have no issues with the Labour Party. Jeremy Corbyn is the problem. I don't think the media are looking into what his underlying beliefs are. People will be in great fear if he becomes the leader of our country.

"I don't have strong politic views. I'm a boring, sensible, democratic but I think this group have hijacked the Labour party."

A Church of Scotland spokesperson said: “There has been significant concern raised today about the comments made by Rev Richard Cameron and his social media use.

“At this stage all we can say is that there is a formal complaints process and that any complaints we receive in relation to this matter will be taken seriously and addressed.

“We do deplore any comments which are Islamophobic or homophobic.

“The Church of Scotland works closely with our Islamic neighbours and the General Assembly has taken a strong position and said formally that we decry homophobia in any form."
