“Being denied service by Masterpiece Cakeshop was offensive and dehumanizing especially in the midst of arranging what should be a joyful family celebration,” said Mullins and Craig (the gay couple). “No one should fear being turned away from a public business because of who they are. We are grateful to have the support of our community and our state, and we hope that today’s decision will help ensure that no one else will experience this kind of discrimination again in Colorado.”
We also hear the same argument against the Christian bakers in Oregon who turned down a lesbian wedding cake order and have been paying for it ever since.
This argument is against the First Amendment right of the family baker to express their belief and this right is protected by the Constitution of the United States.
I also hear people saying--even some evangelical Pastors-- that we should accept and love those who have the same sex attraction and that Jesus loves every person. It is true, but there is no expression of love that will violate the marriage law as established by God since the beginning of the creation. The Christian Bakers have all right to refuse to sell cake for something that violates their religious belief.
In this volatile environment one must clearly make a choice. Either you are a Christian and follow what the Bible teaches you and pay for it or you decide to follow the flow by supporting same-sex marriage and you pay for it as well. You can't do both.
We have to do as Lot in Genesis 19 and the Old man in Judges 19. Not only did they refused to participate in the abomination of homosexuality committed in their country, but they also boldly and openly spoke against it.
Also, we must teach our friends on the other side of the debate that marriage is sacred and holy because it has been ordained by God, not by man or any earthly institution.
I am amazed by the silence and or support of same-sex marriage given by many civil rights activists. I do not understand how associate civil rights is confused with a aberrant behavior. It is absurd to me! Civil rights have nothing in common with the idea of gay marriage. Marriage is not a social institution by essence, it is divinely ordained from above.I will NOT bake such a cake! I will NOT support anything that goes against the will of God!
The speculation of men cannot trump the revelation of God!
Peace and blessings!

Incredible...the level of hate propagated by you so-called Christians! Gay people are vilified by you for promiscuity and sexual perversion ad infinitum...but when we want to commit in a monagamous relationship and contribute to society, you condemn that too! Hypocrites all.
ReplyDeleteFunny how 2% of the population like to characterize dissent as hate especially when they spent several decades as dissenters themselves.
ReplyDeleteNow that agenda has sued bakers and attacked freedom of religion and speech.
that seems very hateful to make such judgments against millions of people and really all of recorded civilization and all major religions.
At lest here homosexuality isn't a Capitol crime. Perhaps you should go to Pakistan or Saudi Arabia and tell them they are haters.
