Jesus would do better. He would forgive their sins and tell them to sin no more.

RE: Jesus would do better. He would forgive their sins and tell them to sin no more.

And what if they refused to sin no more? What if they refuse to acknowledge that their actions are a sin?

I ask this because we already have GAY COUPLE affirming churches in New York City.

See here for one — The Marble Collegiate Church :

Like it or not, baking cakes for gay weddings a real item in the news. Courts really have ruled in favor of forcing Christians to violate their faith and bake cakes for gay weddings.

This author asks the “What Would Jesus Do?” question. Too often, the responses I’ve seen are nothing but dodges. “He wasn’t a baker.” “They didn’t have wedding cakes back then.” “He would offer them salvation.” “It’s hypothetical.” All true, but all dodges.

What if it’s a young person with a serious question? Would Jesus do this or not?

Would Jesus do cocaine? (”That’s a hypothetical...they didn’t have cocaine in Israel in Jesus’ day.”) Kid walks away wondering about cocaine use.

Would Jesus watch movies made in Hollywood? (”That’s a hypothetical...they didn’t have movies...blah, blah, blah)

At some point it becomes, “Don’t ask the Christian...he’s too afraid of losing the debate to answer.”

So, which bears more weight in the answer about baking wedding cakes: “If your enemy compels to carry his pack for a mile, then carry it for two miles.” or “Render unto...God that which is God’s.”?

That is exactly right.
“Your sins are forgiven. GO AND SIN NO MORE”
What he would NOT do is condone, support or promote homosexual weddings.
Heck he wasn’t real fond of divorced people remarrying.[Matt19:9]
