    WHy is our excuse so often "You wouldn't do that with a Muslim"?

    The predominant religion in these United States of America is CHRISTIANITY, not Islam.

    They are going to Christians because they know Christians are supposed to be different.

    Does the love of Christ TRULY compel us? Because every time someone asks us something it looks like something else is compelling us to respond a certain way that looks nothing like the love of Christ.

    Folks don't care about our religious beliefs when it appears to run contrary to the love for which Christ is known.

    God blesses whomever He chooses. And I'd be really careful about trying to make a connection between somebody saying they are doing something because of their religious beliefs as opposed to because of THUS SAYETH THE LORD.

    Yes they have $500K. But there's no amount of money you could give me if it meant I had to say something that led people to believe you're mistreating me or discriminating against me because of Christ when Christ hasn't said anything about it.

    Let's see: Christ is God in the flesh. God gave us the Bible. The bible says man lying man as he would a woman is abomination.

    Guess Christ DID say something about it.

    See this right here is why Christians need to check themselves. We're talking about baking a cake for someone. No one has said anything about who someone is sleeping with. SO if that is what people are objecting to, that's what they need to say.

    Are you okay with baking a cake for a fornicating man and his girlfriend? I wonder if Christians would be okay doing these things for two lost people who were fornicating?

    If she had said I don't want it to look as though I'm supporting activity that does not align itself with God's word, I'd be right there with her.

    But she spoke to her religious beliefs. What beliefs are those? The ones that say you can bake a cake for two philandering heterosexual adulterers but you can't bake one for two monogamous,committed homosexuals?

    You're baking a cake. You're not giving a seal of approval to their sex lives.

    When Jesus provided food to the 5000, did He check to see if they were doing something against Him? No. The people were hungry and had a need so He approached them in COMPASSION and fed them.

    Leftists attempt to shut down fundraising for memories pizza

    Authoritarians resort to censorship when they're losing the debate.

    Irate leftists furious at a pizza restaurant in Indiana which has made national headlines for saying it would refuse to cater for a gay wedding are now attempting to shut down a fundraising campaign for Memories Pizza which has reached over half a million dollars.

    < snip >

    Following the controversy, Indiana-based Memories Pizza went public to assert that they would refuse to cater for a gay wedding. The owner of the restaurant made it clear that they would be happy to serve gays and lesbians otherwise, but that clarification didn’t stop the onslaught of vitriol from leftists and gay rights activists that soon followed.

    :laugh::laugh:

    How would you know if they were fornicating, unless you knew them personally? Were they seen marching in a fornicating pride parade? What kind of decorations would they be asking for on a cake that would give you the indication they were fornicating?

    Which speaks more to my point. They are already baking cakes and such for gay people's weddings even if they don't know it.

    So it suddenly becomes against your religious beliefs once they ask you to stick two little ladies or two men on top of the cake?

    What I was saying still holds. Why is she even talking about not catering a gay wedding? What's her religious beliefs about not catering a wedding got to do with anything God says?

    If she wanted to speak to that, then she should have. Folks are no doubt trying to shut down the campaign because they don't want her and her discrimination to profit.

    So I say again, sure she may have made a quick 500k, but is that worth the price of once again making it look like Christians discriminate against one group of sinners over others?

    I wouldn't want to cater a Clinton party. I think Bill is a reprobate and Hillary is a shameless. Why bake a cake for the Clintons?

    I've never heard of anyone who is talking about anything BUT homosexual "sleeping" arrangements. When two men come in to order a wedding cake for themselves, I think the public at large understands what their "sleeping" arrangements either are or will be. :laugh:

    It is not against God's law for two straight people who are fornicating to get married. In fact, the Old Testament commanded it. The law said, "you "sleep" together, you get married."

    That's exactly what she DID say in stating that she did not, as a Christian, support gay marriage.

    Well, if a "philandering heterosexual adulterer marriage act" comes onto the legal scene, she can address that issue if she wants to.

    When one places that same sex plastic couple on top of the cake and places that cake in a box with his/her name on it and drives to the venue in a truck with his/her name on it and attends briefly to deliver the cake, they are speaking that they are in agreement with the "sleeping" arrangements of the same sex couple.

    And they turned on him like pit bulls.

    Providing a miraculous meal so that they could understand who he was cannot be compared with baking cakes for the public at large.

    What's their sleeping arrangements got to do with baking them a cake? Are you gonna ask the unmarried male and female who come in for a cake if they are fornicating?


    You and others have all but said that the two gay folks sleeping together is the reason why you're not baking the cake. So I say again, BE CONSISTENT. If you've got a problem with the gay fornication, you should have a like problem with the heterosexual fornication.


    No it's not. According to the story, she said it's against her religious beliefs in response to catering a gay wedding. So again I ask, what religious belief? God's word doesn't say anything about cooking for a gay wedding.

    She's in the food service business. They've already been in her restaurant and I'm sure she served them food. Is that against her religious beliefs too?


    You mean like when one steps into the ballot box and pushes the button for President for someone who rejects Jesus Christ is speaking that they are in agreement with that person rejecting Jesus Christ?

    Yes. Yall can't have it both ways when it comes to one thing being being viewed as tacit approval for wrong doing while vigorously opposing something else as being tacit approval for wrong doing.

    So make up your collective minds and be CONSISTENT.


    As illustrated by HIS behavior, how they respond to your compassion is not as important as the fact that you were selflessly compassionate.

    Sure it can unless it doesn't meet your agenda. As a Christian, you are a representative of Christ. we love because He first loved us. We're compassionate because He has shown us the ultimate compassion. We serve because He served us. He didn't place any religious belief stipulation on serving us.

    Next we will have to make cakes for people like Muhammad that "married" a nine-year-old girl. It seems that Democrats want a lot of cakes baked for a lot of dirty old men, including for the Clinton, the gays, and the pedophiles.

    It's not about money. It's not about gay rights. As individuals a gay person has the same rights every other individual has. It's not even about religious beliefs it's about pushing collectivism and acting as authoritarians who love to use the force of the state to make other individuals fearful of standing up for their own rights.

    This is how totalitarian governments come into being. These people who are attacking this pizza parlor should replace their rainbow colored shirts with brown shirts.

    I'll speak slowly.

    Two heterosexual fornicators who get married will be fornicators no more. They need to repent of their fornication and their marriage bed will be undefiled.

    The marriage doesn't erase their need for repentance, but they will no longer be fornicators.

    Two gay fornicators who get married will still be committing sexual sin.

    The marriage doesn't nothing to make their physical union acceptable.
