Some people are born to be fighters and soldiers. Some are not, and putting them on the field of confrontational battle may get everyone else in their company slaughtered due to their incompetence.
1 Corinthians 12:27 Now you are the body of Christ, and each one of you is a part of it. 28 And God has placed in the church first of all apostles, second prophets, third teachers, then miracles, then gifts of healing, of helping, of guidance, and of different kinds of tongues. 29 Are all apostles? Are all prophets? Are all teachers? Do all work miracles? 30 Do all have gifts of healing? Do all speak in tongues[d]? Do all interpret? 31 Now eagerly desire the greater gifts.
There are many gifts, and there are many ways to make best use of one's God-given gifts. God wanted us to work together and not be self-sufficient; therefore we are all endowed with a differenct combination of strengths and vulnerabilities, so that we will call on one another to maintain the universal church. Not everyone is required to act as the Founders acted in order to have the rights guaranteed in the Bill of Rights to every American. And likewise, there may be many ways for individual artisans to work with gay people and still observe their own religion.
It's clear that in states where artisans are compelled to accept gay wedding business, their constitutional rights are being abrogated. But it will take more than one tiny business owner at a time to fight this leviathan, in view that our government has now become so overweening that we all laid down and died and swallowed the incredible heist and tax burden that is Obamacare. Many have tried to turn back the horror that is Roe v. Wade. Many have tried to keep marxist evil out of the schools. So far, the lions have been eating the Christians over and over. The leftists are the default condition of humanity without a clear understanding of God. Our nation is sliding down that slope with increasing rapidity. Is a gay wedding cake the issue that will turn it all around, if only each baker refuses and willingly sacrifices his or her livelihood, or would it be just throwing pearls before swine and wasting one's talents?
Obviously, we are working with a huge deficit in understanding the nature of freedom among the common people, brought about by three generations of marxism in the schools. The left carefully planned to take over and have done so. There will be many Christians beheaded by ISIS until God arranges their justice. Should all middle eastern Chrisitans line up and volunteer for the slaughter? Do we not often question what would have happened to the Jews of Germany and Poland if their communities had been armed and they had resisted? Likewise there will be many American Christians legally crucified until God arranges their justice.
The outworking of that justice will take many down and lift others up; yet in the life to come, many who were last will be first, and first last. Those "beheaded for their faith" will live and reign with Christ in the world to come (Rev. 20:4).
It's not for other Christians to call those who strive to find ways to work under these unjust laws moral cowards.
That’s why I never suggested leaving any “lone” business owners in the lurch. I see a lot of apathy among church leadership, during a time when they need to pull everyone together.
Yet it is moral cowardice when one of these purported church leaders (and Zuhldorf has made even more controversial statements in the past) suggests a concord between Christ and Belial, since that only makes Belial stronger. Too reminiscent of church leaders collaborating with the Communist Parties of such entities as the Soviet Union and People’s Republic of China.
