Any church who refuses to perform "gay marriages" will be destroyed (vanity)
Posted on 09/05/2012 4:39:02 AM PDT by TigerClaws
Joun Marshall, the first Chief Justice of the US, said, "The power to tax is the power to destroy." The fIght to redefine marriage has implications for every church in America. If same sex marriage is made law of the land, any church refusing to perform a ceremony can lose it's tax-exempt status. This situation would be analogous to cases where churches post Civil Right refused interracial marriage. The Supreme Court upheld any church refusing to perform a legal marriage would lose tax-exempt status.
Pastors refusing to perform these ceremonies which go against the clear word of God could also be sued personally for damages and attorney fees under Civil Rights law. Homosexuals have tried to make their campaign analagous to the struggle of African Americans. A host of legal protections is what they truly want.
These are just two obvious legal consequences facing every American church and minister. Every church in America will either be in the gay marriage business or shut down. Thats the fight being waged right now.

You posted a very thoughtful response, and I appreciate it.
This whole issue is filled with danger, and only brings destruction.
If you are looking for wisdom, I can only
refer you to the Bible.
If you're looking for the history and a well documented background on the subject, I recommend
What the Bible Says About HOMOSEXUALITY.
If you want to know about "Marriage" and its roots, read
How To Have A Happy Marriage and
The Missing Dimension in Sex, 202 pages.
You stated:
"But, IMHO, the real hidden agenda of the queers and their leftist supporters is not to obtain church "marriage",
but to damage all churches by forcing them to pay taxes... "
Damaging
""all churches" through money, or lack thereof, isn't their only goal.
SPIRITUAL DAMAGE is what its about.
ACCEPTING a fraud, a fake, and an evil premise is what it's about.
If it's
"... in their right hand , or in their foreheads ... ", ... they'd better THINK about what they're doing!
" If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand", ... they'd better THINK about what they're doing!
"Worship the beast ...", ... represents KINGDOMS or governments or MADE AND RUN BY MAN.
"In their foreheads ...", ... represents WHAT they THINK .... in their minds.
"In their right hand ...", ... represents WHAT they DO with their hands, or what their ACTIONS are.

If we
OBEYED GOD, there would NOT BE ANY homosexuals on the Supreme Court TO DEFILE our laws, our government, and our churches.
