“Were they to take our house,
Goods, honor, child, or spouse,
Should life be wrenched away,
They cannot win the day:
The Kingdom’s ours forever!”
- Martin Luther

“And I heard a voice from heaven saying, “Write this: Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord from now on.” “Blessed indeed,” says the Spirit, “that they may rest from their labors, for their deeds follow them!” - Rev. 14:3, ESV

The gaystapo claims another victim.

Of course, people should be free to do business where they want, and their customers free to choose or ostracize. But in this case, the heavy hand of government and “equal rights enforcers” have crushed a godly couple. In “conservative” Utah, of all places.

Just wait till the homosexual radicals go after the couple’s new church and its tax exemption.

The Odgaards feared they would attract more complaints and lawsuits if they continued to offer their building as a wedding venue. "We didn't have a choice. We would be targets,"

And they are correct. The Gaystapo would hound them into bankruptcy. The militant gays will get their "civil rights".

RE: Just wait till the homosexual radicals go after the couple’s new church and its tax exemption.

I think the next item on their list will be the Christian Chaplains who serve in the military.

They will be forced to either be discharged ( dishonorably?) or officiate in gay weddings.

What this tells me is that I despair of our young.

The next gen has mostly been converted to the prog’s (in)Tolerance doctrine. Brainwashed since very young, no strong parental and/or religious guidance. Bodes ill for our future.

My “Buy American” beliefs have taken a real beating over the past few years. If buying American means supporting this, then no thanks.

They are forcing people to choose between their faith and their job. They are going to force all churches to do gay “marriage “. With the current pope, I’m not sure the Catholic Church will resist.

Lee Stafford and his homo buddy are going to really pay one day for their life of perversion. If I were a member of that community and I knew these homos shut down a local business, they would know what I think of them. Sorry pos. They are scum of the planet.

The greatest deception of all time.

You hear about this happening all over the world, but even though the populations of the countries allowing it are silent, yet the majority.

Complacence truly is the greatest enemy man has ever known.

But the Evil, Satanic MSM won’t send dry-runs into Muslim-run flower and bakery shops exposing the exact same result.

The day of reckoning is coming for these homo-nazi’s.

The Christian persecution in the military has already begun.

Christian Chaplains either cannot pray in the name of Jesus or have been completely silenced. I think here on FR someone posted one such Chaplain who is suing on freedom of religion grounds. Suit is still pending as far as I know.

How much of the persecution goes unreported? Plenty, I would imagine.

Except for a few pro-life marches or demonstrations in front of abortion clinics, conservative Christians don’t take to the streets. No Jesse Jacksons or Al Sharptons there.
