There is a difference between normal commerce, and participation in sin.

Jesus never said we should not engage in commerce with sinners, or that sinners should not be allowed to buy food.

We are all sinners. How long would mankind have survived if God forbid all commerce involving sinners?

He does not forbid the baker to sell baked goods to sodomites, drunkards or thieves. Participating in the sin, by baking a cake in celebration of the sin is an entirely different matter. Refusing to engage in normal commerce with someone because you despise them on a personal level is an individual choice. It is not what God commands of us.

Of course we are all sinners. Christ was not. And this stupid article insults Christ, who He was/is and what price He already paid for us. It is completely different to have an economic discussion on profits with the in our face perverts.

What was Lot's wife's sin? She sure was not a participant in the abomination, yet, she disobeyed and ended up a pillar of salt. Perversion is not the typical run of the mill sins. Now I could care less what two consenting adults choose to do to one another behind closed doors. But that is not what this subject is describing. Why the White House is calling these that proclaim their perversions courageous. HA my relatives serving in the military are courageous, not these whining wimps demanding US cater to their perversions.
