What Do Gays Really Want From The Church?
American Thinker ^ | 11-2-14 | Patricia L. Dickson

Posted on 11/02/2014 7:48:02 PM PST by ReformationFan

After a federal judge in Idaho recently ruled that the state’s ban on gay marriage was unconstitutional, ordained ministers Donald and Evelyn Knapp who own the Hitching Post wedding chapel in the city of Coeur d‘Alene, were asked by a gay couple to perform their wedding ceremony. According to Fox News , the ministers declined to perform the wedding due to their opposition to same-sex marriage. However, because the Hitching Post wedding chapel is registered as a for-profit business rather than a church or place of worship (although the wedding chapel is registered with the state as a “religious corporation” limited to performing “one-man-one-woman marriages as defined by the Holy Bible”), they must comply with a local nondiscrimination ordinance that was passed last year. The question that is most puzzling to me is why did the gay couple choose to do business with that particular wedding chapel? Were there not any other places that they could have gone (such as the Justice of the Peace) to have their wedding performed? Why did the gay couple in Colorado approach the Christian Bakery? Were there no other bakeries in their city or town? It appears that the gay community is targeting Christians and the Christian church. If that is indeed the case, what do they want from the church?

They want the church’s destruction but would accept surrender if offered.

A potluck in their honor? A wedding reception in the fellowship hall with free reign for them to decorate as they see fit?

“What Do Gays Really Want From The Church?”

Remember when Satan tempted Jesus in the desert, where Satan demanded that Jesus worship him?

Homos, including brack homobama, want Christians to renounce God and to worship them instead.

They know that there are those whose faith won’t allow them to ever accept ‘gay marriage’ or homosexual acts. So they want to use the power of the state to punish and to keep punishing them. It’s not about getting people to condone it, it’s just about the punishment, in my opinion.

the fags have no interest in having their ‘union’ blessed by an organization they despise.

i mean seriously, who honestly believes they do.

what they want is... the total destruction of the Church.

how this escapes anyone is beyond me. you’d have to be a special kind of stupid to miss it

The question: What do Gays want from the Church?

Gays want what they can never have... for people to believe they are not deviants.

Decent people have no obligation to deal with the Entitled Class in good faith. If they demand a wedding, we are free to agree to go trough the motions of obeying their orders - and then fail to follow through.

If the Entitled Class demands service, and we agree under duress, there is nothing wrong with cancelling at the last minute due to a personal emergency (just don’t say it’s to brush your teeth, even if it is). A commitment made under duress is not binding.

If the Entitled Class demands service, and we agree under duress, there is nothing wrong with drinking Ipecac just before beginning and then failing to complete the Black Mass after vomiting on the revolting “couple”. Those who use force against the innocent deserve no consideration.

If the Entitled Class demands service, and we agree under duress, there is nothing wrong with starting the service and taking hours to read the Bible aloud, starting with Genesis 1, to put marriage in context (start over if they interrupt), until the Entitled Class walks out on the ceremony. One could argue in court that the Entitled Class walked out and was not refused service, or even that the Bible reading was necessary to address a (perhaps planted) objection from an attendee.

This, of course, is correct. They are mostly atheists (just go to any gay blog or website) and they want all religions (except Islam, it seems) to be pushed off the face of the earth. It's simple.

“”What Do Gays Really Want From The Church?””

I’ll tell you what they don’t want: forgiveness of their sin. So the flip side of that is acceptance of their sin as OK. Won’t get that from a real church. Osteen can help them out.

yep-

They want to deny a God- and curse HIS name
They want to Deny Christ and curse HIS name
They want to Deny Humans their life with GOD- and Kill Them!

They have gone over to the dark side .. and embrace the
bottomless pit- just as the people of Sodom-
eventually HOW MANY RIGHTEOUS men will GOD see in this
country?— pray
