I think what’s going to eventually is that those faiths that will never accept whatever impossibility the state is deciding to call marriage at the time will quit acting as the state’s representative in civil marriage. They’ll just have to take whatever punishment the state decides to give them for not accepting ‘gay marriage,’ which is certainly no stranger than telling someone 30 years ago that by 2014 ‘gay marriage’ would be accepted by 18+ states.
But I don’t think the state will ever give it up at this point.

And probably lose their tax exempt status. That is where the threats will start in order to get churches to cave.
Frankly, if as a church, you are more concerned about your tax status than the truth...you have bigger issues than you think.
