“Yet Another Christian Family-Run Business Closing After Refusing to Host Gay Wedding [Iowa]”
Along with being the most disgusting perversion of man kind
they are the most intolerant perverts to boot. No wonder
they have been outcasts since the beginning of recorded
history.
It is Iowa, not Utah. But you are right, it could happen anywhere.
Amen!....God bless them.
I have a 21 year-old son who thought gays were 30% of the population based on TV shows and movies today. He didn’t believe the number I gave him at 1%-2%. He has been brainwashed by the MSM.
They went to a Mennonite family business knowing the outcome. They just wanted to cause problems and bring attention to themselves.
>>the next item on their list will be the Christian Chaplains who serve in the military.
Yep.
By my own count, we’ve had at least 6 cases of such lawsuits against devout Christian business folks from Oregon to Colorado to New Mexico to Indiana and now Iowa.
It is a given that this will now be a regular occurrence.
What I am more concerned with is this -— what can Christian business folks do about this?
Is it a given that they simply close up and shut up and endure persecution, or is there a legal non-violent way in these once great country where they can secure their rights?
Remember this — they are the FIRST of many victims. Who knows who will be next?
A coalition of Sodomites, blacks, Asians, Mexicans and non-Christians is conquering Western Man.
*****************************
The Church never can and never will give satisfaction—and the homosexualist knows it, for he knows the words against him are ineradicable—to the declared and impenitent homosexual, the person who, through an act of the vermiculate will, has identified his person with a sin, whether he demands acceptance of his sin through "love," or vindication through identification of his perceived enemies as bigots. Whether he presents himself as an object of love or indignation, what he demands in either case is acceptance not of the person, but of the sin-bound and sin-defined person. He demands the declaration of spiritual authority that there is nothing objectively disordered about this binding of man to sin, and assurance that this monstrous amalgam can indeed enter the kingdom of heaven. This can never happen among Christians until they abandon Christianity, which is at war with every sin, and whose indelible constitution places all perversions of the perfect man at the muzzle of its canons.
>>How much of the persecution goes unreported?
HR departments call it “perception” - not persecution.
The “offended” reprobates/Marxists are quite adept at manufacturing “perception” against anyone who dares question the worship of their “culture”.
All due respect, maybe you are too young to remember....
.....it was more than a few Chrustians....
.....in 1988 through 1993 the momentum built to protect life.....
And thousands of Christians not only took to the streets in front of abortion clinics......they also risked arrest....and were arrested.........pastors, teachers, engineers, grandparents, etc
Either not enough support to sustain their actions.......plus they were eventually charged under the RICO law.....so folks lost their nerve
Even then.....more than 20 years ago......they said IF we don’t hold the line here.....it will happen again, and you or you or you will be called to take a stand.
Well, it’s here.
I fully expect pastors will be arrested for not towing the government line about gays.
Exactly.
Faggies = fascists
We let the less than 2% do this to us. Disgusting!
Sorry, my oversweeping statement does not suggest ‘no strong parental guidance’ in your case.
I need to be more cautious in the future.
I've heard three different Baptist Ministers say that they'd preach from a jail cell rather than officiate at a same sex "wedding". I believe them.
Take the money and donate it to a conservative cause.
And vice versa.
It was around 1990 that critical mass was reached in terms of new voters registered and the civil disobedience at abortion clinics.
My gut reflections on those times spent mainly in the mainstream media come down like this.
I was a drunk and a coward, viewed with suspicion by my MSM colleagues because my pro-life views were also known along with my disreputable behavior as a drunk.
The first Operation Rescue protest in the area was leaked out to the police and media in advance so I went to the organizers of the second to urge quiet organizing and a call to me at home on Saturday morning when the protest came down.
I was too morally weak to be any good in 1990..
I went to those Promise Keepers things and a lot of bad things were discussed but for me my drunkenness led to many of the problems laid out at those events.
Evangelical Christianity backed away from civil disobedience to protect human life in the 1990’s to hit the more fashionable sins like racism and so on......of course racism is bad, but I think the compulsive addictive behaviors involving alcohol, drugs and sexuality permeate the religious subculture weakening its ability to meaningfully resist evil.
