As a follow-up to #15 ...
If two kwheers enter Jack’s store and ask for a cake that says ‘Happy Birthday’ on top, I have no doubt that the cake would be made. It is the message on the product that is the issue, not the status of the requesting parties.
While I understand that the LGBTQetc community is trying to impose their hedonistic style on our society as a whole, as a judge in the trial the first question I would ask is “Is there another bakery within a reasonable distance from Jacks?” If there is, case dismissed with prejudice.
So a heil hitler cake is okay and a Jewish baker must bake that cake
Right, got ya
SSDD.
James 1:2-8 NKJV
2 My brethren, count it all joy when you fall into various trials,
3 knowing that the testing of your faith produces patience.
4 But let patience have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking nothing.
Really?
There are thousands of folks holding his arms up spiritually, relying on the TRUTH of the Bible when it states:
Romans 12:17-21
17 Recompense to no man evil for evil. Provide things honest in the sight of all men. 18 If it be possible, as much as lieth in you, live peaceably with all men. 19 Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord. 20 Therefore if thine enemy hunger, feed him; if he thirst, give him drink: for in so doing thou shalt heap coals of fire on his head. 21 Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good.
Stay there and be the light that shines in the darkness!
1 Corinthians 6:9-10
Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God.
(Go the extra mile)
Yes, they do...
Definitely NSFW!!!!
But you’d STILL have the FRUIT in it.
Genesis 18:20-21
20. Then the LORD said, "The outcry against Sodom and Gomorrah is so great and their sin so grievous
21. that I will go down and see if what they have done is as bad as the outcry that has reached me. If not, I will know."
Genesis 19:4-7
4. Before they had gone to bed, all the men from every part of the city of Sodom--both young and old--surrounded the house.
5. They called to Lot, "Where are the men who came to you tonight? Bring them out to us so that we can have sex with them."
6. Lot went outside to meet them and shut the door behind him
7. and said, "No, my friends. Don't do this wicked thing.
Leviticus niv
18:22 Do not have sexual relations with a man as one does with a woman; that is detestable.
20:13 If a man has sexual relations with a man as one does with a woman, both of them have done what is detestable.
They are to be put to death; their blood will be on their own heads.
Isaiah 3:9 The look on their faces testifies against them;
they parade their sin like Sodom; they do not hide it.
Woe to them! They have brought disaster upon themselves.
================================================
2 Peter 2:13b Their idea of pleasure is to carouse in broad daylight.
They are blots and blemishes, reveling in their pleasures while they feast with you.
================================================
Ezekiel 16:49-50 "`Now this was the sin of your sister Sodom:
She and her daughters were arrogant, overfed and unconcerned; they did not help the poor and needy.
They were haughty and did detestable things before me.
Therefore I did away with them as you have seen.
1. But there were also false prophets among the people, just as there will be false teachers among you. They will secretly introduce destructive heresies, even denying the sovereign Lord who bought them--bringing swift destruction on themselves.
2. Many will follow their shameful ways and will bring the way of truth into disrepute.
3. In their greed these teachers will exploit you with stories they have made up. Their condemnation has long been hanging over them, and their destruction has not been sleeping.
4. For if God did not spare angels when they sinned, but sent them to hell, putting them into gloomy dungeons to be held for judgment;
5. if he did not spare the ancient world when he brought the flood on its ungodly people, but protected Noah, a preacher of righteousness, and seven others;
6. if he condemned the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah by burning them to ashes, and made them an example of what is going to happen to the ungodly;
7. and if he rescued Lot, a righteous man, who was distressed by the filthy lives of lawless men
8. (for that righteous man, living among them day after day, was tormented in his righteous soul by the lawless deeds he saw and heard)--
9. if this is so, then the Lord knows how to rescue godly men from trials and to hold the unrighteous for the day of judgment, while continuing their punishment.
10. This is especially true of those who follow the corrupt desire of the sinful nature and despise authority. Bold and arrogant, these men are not afraid to slander celestial beings;
11. yet even angels, although they are stronger and more powerful, do not bring slanderous accusations against such beings in the presence of the Lord.
12. But these men blaspheme in matters they do not understand. They are like brute beasts, creatures of instinct, born only to be caught and destroyed, and like beasts they too will perish.
13. They will be paid back with harm for the harm they have done. Their idea of pleasure is to carouse in broad daylight. They are blots and blemishes, reveling in their pleasures while they feast with you.
But there IS hope!!!
1 Corinthians 6:9-11
9. Do you not know that the wicked will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived:
Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor male prostitutes nor homosexual offenders
10. nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God.
11. And that is what some of you were. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God.
Why would you go to a guy who refused to do something similar before? Blacks in Montgomery did not continue to ride the bus, they boycotted. These people want to force others to do as they are told. Do you really want to eat a cake, or any other food made under duress?
Also, why did he object to making the cake. The really crappy Yahoo article I saw on it said it was blue and pink frosting. I am certain that is not all it is. There is no way this guy would object to frosting a cake in those colors. If I wanted a cake in those colors, that is what I would ask for. I would have no need to say what the cake is for. There is something else going on that is being omitted.
Thank you for that post! God Bless!
I wouldn’t “celebrate” these mentally ill weirdos, either.
RE: Why would you go to a guy who refused to do something similar before?
One word : ACTIVISM
Another word: HARASSMENT
A reasonable judge ( I know, getting fewer by the day ) ought to see through this.
I report - you decide.
At a certain point I wonder why he hasn’t just cut his losses already and moved himself and his business to a neighboring state where this won’t happen to him anymore, like Wyoming or Utah. Seems like a pretty good alternative to going through all the litigation, media attention and heartache that he has for the past decade. Cheyenne is just 1-2 hours north of where he is now. It would be a fairly simple adjustment.
At first this was absolutely the fault of the snowflakes who sued him back in 2012, but now I think Jack’s the one who’s at fault for choosing to stay in Colorado even after nothing has gone his way. The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results. I’m sorry but if the Supreme Court itself can’t stop state officials from targeting you, nothing will.
Except for, of course, going where their authority doesn’t reach.
I know some of you might be thinking, “pretty soon the pink mafia will get federal laws passed, and then we won’t have anywhere else to go....” - if this were a question of national law and it was the Feds who were targeting Jack, that would be one thing. But that’s not the case here. If he had no other course of action, I’d be behind him 100%. But a much easier course of action DOES exist, and it’s just one U-Haul away 🤷
Some times people get tired of running, and are willing to put it on the line and fight where they stand.
I had a contractor who wouldn’t put radiant heating in my floor.
Guess I should have sued him. 😂
I get that sentiment, but (1) that should be a last resort, and (2) Jack hasn’t even tried “running” at all yet. He’s in the exact same place he was on Day 1. It’s like trying to open up a liquor store in a dry county, and battling the county for years in court wasting time and money, when you could be making money by opening one up in a neighboring wet county.
