“I only perform marriages, not abominations”
Would be my response.
It’ll be ‘game over’ when the IRS says ANY church that refuses to perform ‘gay marriage’ (an oxymoron) will lose their tax exempt status.
Look for this in the next couple of years.
Churches can choose God’s word or destruction.
Tough. Time for churches to stand up to these pervs.
Where is that vaunted “wall of separation between church and state” now? Homosexuals can marry at the court house in any of the states that have approved this abomination. They do not have the right to be married in any church that adheres to the Bible’s teaching on marriage and family.
The church CAN provide “ministry to them” by teaching them what scripture says and offering them a way out of their sin, as is done for all.
When the government tells churches to go against Holy Scripture, that’s when we’ll see the real Christian churches.
The complaint "against" their pastor is purely procedural, being aimed actually against church teaching. The "pastor" is just necessarily in the line of fire.
What, exactly, is “gay marriage”? How can a church perform a ceremony for something that does not and cannot exist?
We really should be challenging the “gay marriage” advocates to answer what “gay marriage” is, instead of allowing judges to make this non-thing “legal” by fiat.
If I force someone to let me walk at graduation for nuclear physicists, it doesn’t;t make me one.
The Left has really perverted America.
I hope the target preachers can see clear to hold their ground and refuse to pay the horrendous fines that will be levied. The rest of us have to try to ensure that they get the lawyers to fight it if they are small churches. I am not so sure there is safety in the courts anymore. The Left with Republican collaboration has packed the federal courts with communists who rely on Marx rather than the Constitution, but this battle has t be fought out until the churches are taken over and the preachers jailed or the government gets off it. I don’t expect the second alternative to ensue, even with a Republican President. It is time for the states to assert their sovereignty. It is time for that Article 5 Convention. I don’t see the feds permitting that to happen, actually. There would probably be a Federal occupation of state legislatures before that is allowed to come to pass.
Ping.
Ping.
Get over it freaks old story with no one caring..I will say this one more time GOD meant for man and woman to marry and reproduce not dumb and dumber getting married..
The GAYSTAPO at it again.
Church discipline? I don’t remember God creating man and man or Jesus marrying Steve and Rick.
Wow, So now they want to force pastors to marry them. And they want the state to enslave the pastor and force him to do it?
Who didn’t see this coming?
If the Bishop says no, will they take it to a real court?
Rules = Deal With It
no whining
