Here is a recent exchange on Facebook –
Me: Of course not! Freedom means being able to follow your
conscience. Homosexual "weddings" are a total sham and a celebration
of perverted behavior. A true Christian could never go to one, approve of one,
or participate in the celebration of an abomination as a baker, photographer,
or other enabler. THIS IS BASIC FREEDOM, which liberals, Muslims and others
routinely enjoy as NO CASE has ever been brought about their matter-of-fact
refusal to bake Trump cakes (libs), gay cakes (Muslims), etc. it It a
purely anti-Christian effort. We have the Bill of Rights for a reason, though
many judges do not understand that but simply are there to push a demented
left-wing agenda with zero consideration of the law. There is a real
possibility Kennedy will vote his pro-gay beliefs and make it 5-4 against the
Constitution. If that happens, Christians must be prepared to stand regardless.
The SCOTUS has made many errors - remember Plessy vs. Ferguson in 1896? A man
who was 1/8 black but passed for white got on the best part of the train with
no issues. When he stated he was really black, they asked him to move to the
"colored" section. The SCOTUS ruled against him that Separate but
Equal was fine. Some universities today still do that with back dorms, etc.
except now it isa t the request of blacks. Only God is the final arbiter and we
need to stand for right no matter how many stand for wrong.
Challenger How about a racist motel owner turning away
black family in need of lodging for a night? Racism and anti-gay bigotry are
“matters of conscience.” We’re allowed to think and speak as we like, but when
we offer our services commercially, we need to offer them to all comers
our equal terms. If you can’t be gracious, you’ll attract legal challenges that
will put you out of business. I suspect that there were once pastors who would
not perform interracial marriages as a matter of conscience.
Me:
I cannot disagree more and find it extraordinarily insulting to compare
the color of one skin with abominable sexual perversion that does violence to
the human body. This argument by gay radicals deeply insults black people. I
testified concerning this at a public hearing on so called "human
rights". Thankfully the mayor's veto was sustained The argument is
fallacious because the Bible specifically forbids partiality and in fact Miriam
got leprosy for criticizing her brother Moses' marriage to a black African. On
the other hand, homosexuality is condemned not only by the Bible but by the
Quran and almost every society until recently. We are to have no part of
unrighteousness.
We are not
talking about selling people food, coffee or a car here. No one asks anything in
straight transactions, and in fact at the hearing NO ONE said they has EVER
experienced discrimination . It was :”just
in case” – yes, Just in case there was a
Christian they wanted to target make an example of. That is the true history of these cases –
sometimes traveling 3,000 miles to do so – agenda—driven to the extreme. A wedding is a whole different story from a
simple sales transaction. We are talking about CELEBRATING and AFFIRMING the
unfruitful works of darkness. We are talking about an intensely personal
service in a celebratory event. That is
how I found out John Kasich was a fraud - he said he was a Christian and
opposed homosexual "marriage" but went to one of friend to
"support" him. That is absurd. If you are against a wedding, you do
not go. Our wedding was packed and our pastor, our elders and our family ALL
approved. I would not want anyone there who thought what we were doing was
wrong. You cannot celebrate what is abhorrent to God, and the first amendment
(read it again last night) says the freedom of religion cannot be abridged.
According
to Merriam Webster, RELIGION Is a personal set or institutionalized system of
religious attitudes, beliefs, and practices. A Christian made a custom ring for
with your point of view made custom rings for a lesbian couple. When they found
out he was a Christian, they demanded a refund. All sane people want those
involved in their wedding to be in their corner -we selected very carefully for
our wedding. IT is SOLELY about seeking to shut down all debate and insist that
EVERYONE believe in their pagan practices which shall be destroyed by Christ's
breath at his coming. Those who approve of what
God hates are on thin ic and I do not like really cold water.
