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).

I’m a retired Air Force civilian employee.
I’m afraid I have. As you said,we all have. But with God’s help,I must heed Eph.5:11. Without Him, I can do nothing.
I hear you on Ephesians 5:11. I read it as don’t participate in sexual immorality. Now reflect on 1 Cor 5:9-12. And I believe the whole Bible is the infallible Word Of God. Saying that, I’m a professing Christian not a Paulian. I defer to what Jesus says and keeping it simple. I’m gonna love my neighbor. I don’t have to accept their sin, but I have to love. And we will never reach them for Christ, hating and judging.
Paul was commissioned by Christ Himself as an apostle. To accept Paul’s writing is to accept Christ’s Word.They don’t contradict each other. Taking a principled stand against sin is not hate. Also consider Jesus’ words in John 7:24(obviously,there is more than one way to judge)and Rev. 2:6(hating sin isn’t hating the sinner).
You speak of being judgemental,but ask yourself if you’re judging me by suggesting I’m just another Pharisee. I’m not saying that homosexuals shouldn’t be won to Christ. They should be. Although Jesus ate with publicans and sinners, He never once did anything to promote their sins. We all sin and fall short of God’s glory,no matter what the sin is. But I don’t see thieves,adulterers,drunkards,etc. organizing politically to get the government to force the rest of us to approve of their lifestyles. We obviously won’t agree,and I believe we aren’t going to change one anothers mind. I wish you and your family well in your lives.Good night.
