What a huge pack of lies. Advocating traditional marriage is a hate crime, just ask SPLC, which functions as the governments official judge of hate crimes. You wish all that was involved is losing your non profit status.

I wonder if any gays have the gonads to demand imams marry them in mosques?

So long as you don’t do it in public and you surrender your tax-exempt status.

BINGO!

Or “freedom of conscience” as the USSR’s constitution rendered it.

I think all churches need to be prepared now for when two men or two women walk in demanding to be married. Eventually all Bible believing church is will be forced underground but I would like to delay that day as long as possible for the sake of those we witness to

"I’ve said it many times, and I’ve been slammed for it. But I still believe that in our lifetime churches will be shut down for refusing to marry gays. I stand by it."

Agree and it will happen soon as the onslaught of bias complaints and lawsuits overwhelms smaller churches even before the corrupt legal system rules. Alternatively, church pastors may be subject to personal lawsuits and be removed by state action to be replaced by state approved ministers. In that case, we will effectively have state churches which preach the official gospel.

Boycott civil marriage.
Get married in the Church and dispense with the government paperwork.

As a bonus, you get to bypass the marriage penalty. —

I have been pondering this approach, myself. Could I ‘divorce’ my wife (in terms of govt. marriage), if there is a health/finance/etc. benefit?

Remain in “Holy Matrimony” in God’s eyes.

But this is really hard to ‘codify’. Society and culture would be confused. Christians would be tempted to ‘judge’. Participants could be tempted to ‘stray’.

Thoughts from other forums:

Churches quit doing “Govt weddings”. Only do “HOly Matrimony (man and woman)”. No wedding liscence (get that at court house).

?????

If they want to burn this nation down, they will force churches to perform ceremonies and bakers to bake cakes.

Kennedy’s comments are dicta. Not legally binding. No protection for churches.

Yep. And the next battle will be when gay couples seek out the most conservative churches they can find and demand to be married there.

Anyone think conservatives will win that fight?

Just like in Germany..

Two services.

One secular in front of a judge or some official.

One Holy..

The secular one is just bookkeeping.

If believers worked that way, they wouldn’t get all worked up about a secular country acting, well, secular.

I agree they will try. It is up to us whether we will allow it. Any of us church goers had better be discussing this within our churches on Sunday. We need to start making alliances with other churches and have a plan on how to utilize the media to get our message out should this happen. Lots of sunshine is needed.

If you think faggotry is about marriage you are a deluded idiot.

In the Obamacare case, the justices seemed concerned about the havoc if they ruled against Obamacare subsidies.

In the ssm case, not so much.


My thoughts exactly!!!

So what is to prevent us from protesting outside churches performing gay marriages?

"Eventually all Bible believing church is will be forced underground...."

Looks like the days of casual (nominal) Christianity in the United States are numbered. Those who are true believers will stand fast, even to our demise, and those that are populist will be shown for what they are, phonies teaching the traditions of men rather than the word of God. God used Rome in the first and second centuries to purify His church, the same may be going on now. We Christians have gotten too comfortable.
