I think we all should realize that homosexuals don’t just want tolerance,
they don’t just want acceptance,
they want approval.
And any act short of approval for homosexual marriage, lifestyle, etc. is considered to be “homophobic” and must be dealt with by the government. The media, traditionally progressive and liberal, is already on board with this line of thinking (has been since Lawrence v. Texas), and is working furiously to enforce the new order.
Churches must convert their beliefs to accommodate this new reality, or lose their tax exemptions and be driven underground.
That’s exactly what we are witnessing.
The IRS can do nothing to the tax exempt status of a church in regard to homosexual discrimination because sexual orientation is not included as a protected class in federal civil rights laws.
However, some states have included sexual orientation as a protected class, therefore state prosecutors have state authority to pursue Christians in the ‘public domain’. However again, churches are not in the public domain.
But we can bet that a strategy is in works to penetrate the legal obstacles that restrain a state prosecutor from going after churches because in the final analysis this is where the conflict resides, between Sin and the Church, between Satan and Christ.
