Editor: A sober warning to Christian pastors in America about what they might be facing sometime in the future. Time to prepare ourselves to stand right now.
Churches in Denmark are now compelled, by law, to host same-sex “weddings.”
America is next.
Tyranny’s appetite is insatiable. The secular-left’s hunger for power and control over its detractors can never be satisfied. To outwardly succumb and affirmatively capitulate to their pagan demands will never be enough.
Thought control is the goal.
Case in point: Remember Jack Phillips, the Christian baker in Colorado? He exercised his First Amendment religious rights and politely declined to bake a “wedding” cake for a homosexual civil union. Colorado’s “civil rights” Star Chamber recently ordered Mr. Phillips to deny his faith and bake these fake cakes, “shut down” or face prison.
He and his elderly mother (an employee) have additionally been “sentenced” to attend “sensitivity training” (read: re-education camp). There, some snot-nosed college grad with a degree in “feminist/gender studies,” or some other such nonsense, will endeavor to scrub all biblical notions of human sexuality and natural marriage from their minds, hearts and souls, reboot and upload Mozilla Moral Relativism 2.0.
As Mr. Phillips has indicated, he has no problem baking for homosexuals, but, as a Christian, he simply cannot and will not contribute his time and God-given gifts to bake a “wedding cake” that mocks and defiles God’s design for the immutable institution of legitimate marriage.
Nor would he bake for a white supremacist rally or any other similarly wicked event that likewise flouts biblical truth.

And that won’t be the end of it, rest assured.
The future of the church in America is the underground church unless we do something now.
No it won't. Physical, violent persecution is near, maybe closer than anyone thinks. Come on bro.
According to godZillary, we can’t allow a minority of people to “hold a VIEWPOINT that terrorizes the majority of people.”
So get ready for thought crimes. Your very viewpoint will not be tolerated.
Yes, and this is tyranny.
Certain behavior is already being criminalized by the left. Behavior that doesn’t hurt anyone except the feelings of those who don’t want to be thought of as “different”.
Lord help us.
Only if Leftists are willing to sacrifice the Black vote for the homosexual vote. Know of many Black pastors who don’t support homosexual marriage. It may push them away from the Dem party if they try that here.
Of course,Hellfire ,sin and Brimstone would be included in generous amounts
This will happen and here’s how.
Homosexuals will visit churches and asked to be married there. Church after church. ANY church that refuses will be targeted to lose their tax exempt status.
The libs will argue it is similar to churches who refuse to perform interracial churches. Those churches in the past lost their tax-exempt status. “The power to tax is the power to destroy, “ said our first Chief Justice.
Churches will face this decision: Follow the Bible or shut our doors.
One problem with the black community, it that the “leaders” (read: black men on tv) have capitulated to the gays just as they capitulated to the abortion-lovers. And since most black people get their info from tv, I can see them going along with this. I hope I’m being overly cynical.
Won’t happen, we’ll go to jail first (my pastor etal). That simple. We’ve been blessed by God. We’ve lived the easy peasy life in America (compared to living in a third world country trying to scrape a daily living out of dry dirt).
Maybe it’s time to put our faith to the test and endure some suffering/hardship. I hope not, but we seem to be headed in that direction.
You fool yourself if you think they won’t try to force the Catholic church to perform gay ‘weddings.’ Their goal is to destroy Christianity by forcing Christians to violate their beliefs.
Notice that this use of force will NOT apply to the tolerant, kind, peaceful religion of ‘peace.’
Nowadays, I don't believe it is possible to be over cynical. The Regime will do whatever it wants to whoever it wants when it wants.
Everyone says (myself included) that we need to “do something”. Like what? I’m open to suggestions.
