What Do Gays Really Want From The Church?
American Thinker ^ | 11-2-14 | Patricia L. Dickson

Posted on 11/02/2014 7:48:02 PM PST by ReformationFan

After a federal judge in Idaho recently ruled that the state’s ban on gay marriage was unconstitutional, ordained ministers Donald and Evelyn Knapp who own the Hitching Post wedding chapel in the city of Coeur d‘Alene, were asked by a gay couple to perform their wedding ceremony. According to Fox News , the ministers declined to perform the wedding due to their opposition to same-sex marriage. However, because the Hitching Post wedding chapel is registered as a for-profit business rather than a church or place of worship (although the wedding chapel is registered with the state as a “religious corporation” limited to performing “one-man-one-woman marriages as defined by the Holy Bible”), they must comply with a local nondiscrimination ordinance that was passed last year. The question that is most puzzling to me is why did the gay couple choose to do business with that particular wedding chapel? Were there not any other places that they could have gone (such as the Justice of the Peace) to have their wedding performed? Why did the gay couple in Colorado approach the Christian Bakery? Were there no other bakeries in their city or town? It appears that the gay community is targeting Christians and the Christian church. If that is indeed the case, what do they want from the church?

they want to be told homosexuality is good, and those opposed to it, evil.

They want heterosexual marriage to end, and the insulation against homosexuality that it inevitably creates.

SMASH THE PATRIARCHY
SMASH THE ESTABLISHMENT
SMASH THE STATE

They want to destroy it.

Same as radical “feminism” (which decades ago saw homosexuality as a means to that end).

Who cares? Homosexuals will be no concern to MANY in the afterlife. What should be asked is what can homosexuals expect on the opposite end of Heaven.

Their problem of course..

They may not realize it but satan wants the Church complicit in their sin, that way It can stick Its fingers in the face of Jesus.

They think that by destroying all those things that represent current society they will get something better in the end. They are wrong. What they will get is something that they will regret to the end of their days.

They want us to surrender to their perverted agenda - and to undo the ancient affirmation of Natural Law over license and perversion at Sodom and Gomorrah enunciated by the LORD so many centuries ago.


"Dia shábháil ar fad anseo!"

Genuflectimus non ad principem sed ad Principem Pacis!

Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The LORD hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name. (Isaiah 49:1 KJV)

Meanwhile, they will succeed at making the rest of the world as miserable as they are.

Capitulation to their way of thinking. They want Christians to compromise the Truth. The gays don’t care about the Truth. If they did, they would obey it and cease their sinful practice.

Homoperverts were the main beneficiary of the CONFESSIONAL where priests discovered boys suspectable to these priest perverts and the homosexual community they tipped off so to speak

...the pervs upchucked the priests when the internet replaced priests as a source of knowledge of weak slimy children who could be used as raw meat for the homopervs...

I don’t think a gay couple would submit to a traditional Christian wedding ceremony as it references man and woman, husband and wife; terms eschewed in same sex weddings.

They want the church to agree with them or die - which ends up being the same thing as any church that agrees with them is already dead. So in reality the death of the church is the only thing that will get them all happy and gay!
