I disagree that Jesus would bake the sodomites a cake but he would let them wash his feet.....and in doing so, they would cease being sodomites.
Would Jesus carry a gun? It doesn’t matter, the fourth amendment isn’t about what Jesus would do. Would Jesus publish a newspaper blistering congress and the president? It doesn’t matter, the first amendment isn’t about what Jesus would do.
This has nothing to do with what Jesus what do. Nothing at all. This is about the government forcing a private business to violate their second amendment rights.
Jesus didn’t bake! This is such a dumb opinion piece.
Me either. What a silly premise.
“With such a man do not eat.”
This is, I humbly submit, in an explicit Christian fellowship context. It has nothing to do with ministry to frank unbelievers. Christ showed what that looked like, and got called a glutton and a drunkard for His trouble.
Some people get so irritated with the notorious and difficult problem of homosexuality that they will drag out any verse that seems to damn them, to keep from looking like they are cheering that sin on. That’s going along with Satan’s temptation, however. Did Christ die for those sinners too? The bible answer is yes, but Satan is busy screaming in Christendom’s ears, NO NO NO.
Hypothetical
Assuming he learned carpentry — a possibility — would he sell a chair he made to a gay person?
“Equating salvation with a piece of cake is at the heart of the logical fallacy in your argument. Jesus fed loaves and fishes to a mass of people, some of whom were surely unsaved. I agree with the author, he would give them cake, just not gay “wedding” cake.”
Excellent point worth repeating.
of course, you should temper your expectations of any cake baked by a carpenter
Jesus Christ would absolutely bake a cake for a homosexual person.
Indeed Jesus would. Then Jesus would tell them to go and SIN NO MORE...
This is where this article falls short. Because our Government would not allow us to do that. So we can not act as Jesus would. Not without facing charges of hate from the Government and still being sued by the homosexual. Yes Jesus is about love but no where does the Bible say that Jesus wants you to sin........
Well, to try to put a heart into it.
We don’t see anything explicitly recorded in the gospel, but it’s difficult for me to see how this Carpenter could have passed up the opportunity to use His own trade as an illustration of His greater ministry. As I wrote in a certain Christian song I am trying to get some interest in,
“Then a Carpenter was My trade,
With a hammer I was good,
With quality in all I made
Out of every kind of wood —
And now I’ve come to rebuild your soul
If you’ll give the job to Me —
There’s nobody else can make you whole
Or to set your spirit free!”
(The reference in the book of Amos to a plumb line is also of interest.)
It falls short assuming that was its purpose in the first place. Be careful about leveling blame.
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.
Isn’t there something in the Bible about people giving Him a hard time for eating with the heathens and other lowlifes, as they saw them?
You’re acting like I was disagreeing with this, when in fact I am not.
I am pointing out how a lot of Christians get very defensive and uptight in the face of the issue, and unfortunately that might include you.
Excellent words....do you have it online in soundwave of some kind?
Well Erick you have only yourself to blame for this torching!
When the conservative website Gay Patriot makes more sense on this issue that folks here at FR, I need to take a break!
Erick says Jesus would NOT bake a cake for a gay wedding.
***************************
How kind of you.
How about uptight Christians?
The subject area gets a lot of “torching” all right, but much of it is from Satan that says do just about anything except make constructive suggestions. A generic “repent completely” is about as constructive as I usually see it get. However as I implied, it really needs to be a painstaking rebuild job, not a wham bam quick fix.
