Again, you are misrepresenting the issue and creating a strawman argument. Serving a gay couple is not the issue. If the gay couple asks you specifically to make a special cupcake for their gay wedding then you are complicit in their sin, yes. If a gay couple wants you to design a web site for their gay wedding, yes, you are complicit. Why cant someone say no and be the end of it. Like another Freeper said on this thread "I still cannot get a ham sandwich at a Jewish deli"

This whole gay issue must be hitting a nerve or something the way you are lashing out at Christians.

Also, if sin is sin then why are you hell-bent on approving of it?

You can be an accessory to other's sins in the following ways:

1. By counsel
2. By command
3. By consent
4. By provocation
5. By praise or flattery
6. By concealment
7. By partaking
8. By silence
9. By defense of the ill done

FYI: The spiritual works of mercy include:

Admonish sinners.
Instruct the ignorant.
Counsel the doubtful.
Comfort the sorrowful.
Be patient with those in error.
Forgive offenses.
Pray for the living and the dead.

How am I lashing out at Christians when this is what Christ taught? “Love one another as I have loved you”. Christ didn't die on the cross for all sinners ….except them gays. It was for all mankind, and all I pointed out is that sin is equal in the eyes of the lord. Its all bad. Thats not accepting of it. Thats pointing out that what you see as no big deal, is a big deal in Gods eyes! The only thing I'm saying is getting into business means to serve all. Once you discriminate, you are asking for trouble. Bite the bullet and do what Christ is doing for us now, praying for us to reject sin. Otherwise whats your solution to this gay plague that God approves;? Gay Concentration camps? Mass extermination? I don’t condone or accept their lifestyle at all. But if one is starving or needs help, they are my brothers and sisters, and I’m obligated to help them to also help shine the light of Christ on them. Your way just makes them hate us more! Like I said, its Gods decision to judge the living and the dead. We’ll all pay for our sins if we do not accept Christ in our heart and ask for forgiveness and pray for others. The gateway to heaven is narrow and few find it, while the road to hell is broad and wide. Free will is what will set all our paths

***That’s good. I think I’ll add it to the tagline page.

***Yup. Methinks the lady doth protest too much.

***Because he is a troll, posting stuff that is antithetical to Free Republic, in this case an anti-christian bigot trying to manipulate christianity into his own liking.
