Why we'll never bake your fake 'wedding' cake
WND ^ | Matt Barber

Posted on 03/07/2015 8:57:13 AM PST by Woodland

Dear homosexual,

We are your fellow sinners and no better than you. We know this. We are saved from eternal torment, self-wrought, by the grace of Christ alone. If you are an unrepentant, “out and proud” homosexual practitioner, then you are not. It is our deepest prayer that you, too, will accept the free gift of eternal salvation, repent and “go and sin no more.”

The alternative is a living hell.

Let us be direct. According to the unequivocal moral precepts of biblical Christianity, explicit throughout both the Old and New Testaments, your homosexual behavior is sin. Sin is evil. Homosexual behavior is the central, defining characteristic of your counterfeit “gay marriage.” Therefore, “gay marriage” is evil. Christians are obligated to avoid sin – to “do no evil.” “Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor men who practice homosexuality. …” (1 Corinthians 6:9).

It really is that simple. This is why, as faithful Christians (apostate “Christians” notwithstanding), we will never have anything whatsoever to do with your pagan, sin-based “same-sex wedding” rituals.

We will not bake your fake wedding cake.

We will not arrange your fake wedding flowers.

We will not take your fake wedding pictures.

We will not host your fake wedding reception.

We will not do these things because to do these things is to disobey God. It is to aid you in your sin, to cause you to stumble, which, in and of itself, is to layer sin upon sin. “It would be better for him if a millstone were hung around his neck and he were thrown into the sea, than that he would cause one of these little ones to stumble” (Luke 17:2).

To Matt Barber I say I wish our Congress had the guts we see displayed in this article. NOT ONLY by Ms Stutzman, but by WND, and Matt Barber for publishing the truth.

All ‘H’ is going to break loose in response to this publication of the truth.

Indeed. That is the point I was trying to make.

I have been teaching for 15 years. For ten of those years, I taught the two daughters of a woman who had a female “roommate”. I knew in my heart they were lesbians, but I never denied them service. I played for a number of Birthday Parties and other celebrations for them. They know I am a Christian. I unabashedly share my love of Jesus with them and their children.

Recently, my state legalized same-sex unions. I heard through a third party that they quietly went to city hall and tied the knot.

I struggled for a few days wondering if they were going to have a reception and want to hire me. But as I am retired now, widowed, and sold my equipment to survive, it never came to pass.

These were people who did not use the issue to harm somebody, but there are many more who don’t care who they destroy in order to further the agenda.

I would encourage you to review the parable of the Scorpion and the Hare. In your enthusiastic submission to their agenda you not only betray your Christian principles but you embolden those who seek the destruction of those principles.

Good luck to you.

Good article. Thanks for posting it.
Christians all over may need to take the same stand that this Washington grandmother is going through: Facing financial ruin, but standing up for the LORD - and actually demonstrating real love to those ensnared in sin. Those celebrating their sinful lifestyle will never brake their chains if people just acquiesce and give them 'attaboys' while they are marching off to hell.

I have. I wonder if God sees any difference in me hosting a Hindu wedding reception, or a pagan gothic godless reception, or a Muslim reception, or an African tribal like reception. Because, I have done these in the past and none of them will inherit the kingdom of God. And, I never witnessed Christ to any of them.

Are Christians aware of the following concerning their constitutional religious protections?

The states have never amended the Constitution to expressly protect LGBT “rights.” So when pro-gay activist state and federal officials use pro-gay state policies to trump constitutionally enumerated rights like 1st Amendment-protected religious expression, then such states are in violation of Section 1 of the 14th Amendment (14A) imo. Section 1 of 14A prohibits the states from unreasonably abridging constitutionally enumerated rights.

14th Amendment, Section 1: All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States [emphasis added]; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.

You’re right.

Why wouldn’t homosexuals respond by boycotting these Christians with whom they disagree?

The fact that they don’t, that they want to drive them to ruin, show their own intolerance.

Yours may well be the right response. There’s all kinds of things Christians have to do in their jobs that might help someone else sin. For instance, a Christian mail carrier has to deliver all of the mail, even though some of it might be pornography. A Christian taxi driver has to take customers wherever they want to go, even if it’s to a gay bar, the home of someone they’re committing adultery with, or whatever. Working a gay wedding might be different; it might be more like a stamp of approval. I’m just not sure what God would have us do in every case.

“Wrong, repentant sinners ARE better than unrepentant sinners.”

Only slightly, and often its the arrogance of the ‘saved’ that pretty much makes them worse than the unsaved, because the attitude drives people away from Christ.

That's one of the main things I wrestled with. The stamp of approval part.

The Holy Spirit has put that to rest, though. My business is His. It's my ministry and I do a lot of fruit bearing by meeting needs and feeding the poor and expanding His Kingdom with my talents. I take Hindu, pagan, Muslim and all others money to do it. I don't think He sees Homosexuals any different than other sinners, we do.

Actually I challenge anyone to find any group of people Christ condemned other than the money changers defiling His Father's House, or the judgemental Pharisees, which most of these posters sound like. The sexually immoral (prostitute at the well, and the adulteress about to be stoned to death by judgemental Pharisees) were ones that he extended his perfect love and grace to.

“I guarantee these “outraged” homosexuals shop every single wedding service supplier to find these people. Gaystapo in not interested in equality but full superiority. They are even worse than the poverty pimps. At least Sharpton and Jackson will go away after you pay them off. The Gaystapo doesn’t want your money they want to destroy anything that disagrees with them.”

They way to deal with these people who insist that you provide a service is to tell them that the fees they pay will be donated to an anti-gay wedding organization. That might dissuade them.

Of course, in that case you are not affirming an act that denigrates real marriage. Its only this single point that they have to attack.

Q: How does my gay 'marriage' effect your marriage? A: How does counterfeit money effect real money? A dollar is still a dollar, but now the dollar is worth less.

Yep. We know young hetersexual males are beginning to avoid marriage. How much of that is due to what was once the honor of being a husband and father is now a cultural joke?

“And, I never witnessed Christ to any of them.”

While you may not have said anything, I am pretty confident that you still witnessed to them.

I hope so.

The point I was making is that I don't make other sinners meet my demands before I offer them my services. I do feel the overall tone of the government and gay lobby ramming it in our faces disgusting, but we are instructed to love our neighbors and make disciples. Not hate and discriminate.

Thank you for the comment. I rarely post here for a reason. Not the place it used to be.

Do you seriously think that by enabling sin the sinners will take you seriously? Your preaching a very conflicting message to them.

No, they know exactly where I stand. And where my Savior stands because I tell them in a loving way. It’s His job to convict and change hearts. It’s my job to show them Christ’s love. What do you do for a living?
