The report also says the regulations will not "prevent pupils from being taught as part of their religious education the fact that certain religions view homosexuality as sinful", but they may not teach "a particular religion's doctrinal beliefs as if they were objectively true".
The LCF said this was an "astounding statement" which would make it illegal for faith schools to teach that Christianity and its principles are 'objectively true' and prevent any school from "having a religious 'ethos', which the law currently allows, in any true sense of the word".
The LCF also refuted the claim from the JCHR that a person's sexual orientation was the same as their race or sex as an 'inherent characteristic', saying it was an "unfounded claim with no basis in science".
"Whilst there is indisputable proof that race and sex are genetic, it is obvious that sexual orientation is not comparable in this regard, not least because no one can change their race or sex," it said.
The LCF warned that the JCHR report would be reported to the Government and politicians "unchallenged in its assertions" unless Christians took the "time and effort to stand up and explain the truth".
While it said that unjustified discrimination on the grounds of sexual orientation must rightly be opposed, it also said that Christians must "be free under British law to lovingly and compassionately hold to the clear teaching of the Gospel that God created sexual relationships to be enjoyed only within a monogamous heterosexual marriage".
The LCF called on Christians to contact their local MPs and peers to oppose the regulations, as well as Ruth Kelly and the Department for Women and Equality.
The SOR's are scheduled to come into effect in England and Wales and Scotland in April this year after a ratifying vote in Parliament. They came into effect in Northern Ireland 1 January 2007.
