This sin comparison is ridiculous. Adulterers and other sinners don’t wear a sign on them, so a merchant can maintain neutrality. Not so in the case of SSM, which is in your face and forces you to either accept or reject.
These libs think themselves so smart, but they cannot see the difference between merely serving s sinner, which we all are, and being forced to actively PARTICIPATE in the sin, which a gay wedding is. Serving anyone who walks into the shop by making an arrangement for a sick person or creating a corsage for a dance is being non-judgmental, while producing the flowers for a gay wedding is actively taking sides, which is exactly what these people want.
If people are going to make a stand against gay marriage, they better know what they’re going to say in instances like this. It’s very simple, really … “I don’t want to be seen as condoning something that goes against my beliefs. By providing my services, that’s exactly what would happen.”
Hmmm...
What percentage of the shares of MSM corporations is now owned by muslims?
MSM asking the wrong question, they should have asked if a man who is married comes in requesting flowers for his mistress that he is going to ask to run away with him and leave his Wife and Kids fatherless, would you sell him flowers.
Everytime I see this type of question, it convinces me that they are anti-christian and all they want to do is make fun of their beliefs.
I wish she would have had the time to answer this way:
Have you ever screwed a woman better than me?
The press still doesn’t get the difference between counter service and attending a ceremony.
If someone ordered flowers for a service where they were going to behead their parents, the florist probably would not go.
I been posting this for years now, in fact just yesterday I posted HERE at FR:
SOL :“ I will be honest, I haven't seen so-cons make really good verbal public (like on TV) cases on these LGBT issues, and Republicans seem happy to just abandon the issue if they think they can. Typical arguments are “God says its wrong” or “I don't believe in it”
And here's a perfect example WORD for WORD she repeats what I posted to the CNN reporter. I don't want to blame her because she didn't go out looking for an interview, but our side is completely unprepared for this fight, well slaughter.
The answer should have been that she cant morally justify being part of a ritual/cerebration that she sees as sin.
Would a black cross-maker who sells crosses to Christians have to provide them to a KKK rally?(he tells her that's what its for)
Would she have to supply flowers for a wedding of a known bigamist who tells her he's already married?
Thats the correct comparision.
“Hi, I am not honoring my mother and father, can I buy some roses?”
“Hello, I want to buy a dozen for my mistress, please”
um, no, I don’t think so.
“Y, we having a celebration ceremony for adultery, you in or what?”
A robber could come in and ask for a cake shaped like a safe, but wants it to celebrate the fact that he will never steal again. (Maybe it was a big take last time, LOL.) The baker might even bake that one, because the robber shows that he knows it is wrong, and he doesn't want to do it anymore.
The gay persons getting married are pretty clearly saying, "Not only do we not care about this sin, we're celebrating it, and want to continue celebrating it for as long as we live." No contrition, plus promises of future sinning for many years to come, plus CELEBRATING the sin rather than feeling shame for it. Of the three scenarios, it seems like the worst of all.
What the reporter isn’t understanding is, the florist wasn’t forced to participate in or promote adultery or whatever else.
Honoring people includes being truthful with them out of love and not enabling their sickness.
The MSM is proving how crazy and ignorant they are they don’t report news they make up news.
“If someone didn’t honor their parents or commit adultery, would you serve them?””
The reponse should have been, “they did this because they were gay?”
But the way to answer would be,
“If they want me to do flowers for a “Celebrate Our Adultery” ceremony, no, I would not do that.”
People (with the exception of teenagers) are not proud of abusing their parents and certainly are not a political movement. Maybe the MSM should take up the teenage rights issue - you know the right to leach and free ride while openly hostile to the host — another way to destroy society by weakening the family.
Flower shops sell to adulterers all the time. The difference is the cards don't say "to the other woman in my life, who is a secret from my wife". It's not a different kind of sin, they are both a rebellion against God's perfect guidance for living our lives, just a difference in visibility. The difference is that a gay "marriage" is an open sin, while adultery is not blatantly obvious to the florist. The journalist may have gotten lucky, but she was more likely looking for an inarticulate florist and eventually found one.
Christians would be wise to stop talking to reporters. They are not our friends.
