day. We need to start making alliances with other churches and have a plan on how to utilize the media to get our message out should this happen.

As long as your plan includes the fact that the media is your bitter enemy and would cheer your disemboweling, you will be fine.

Sure we should feel safe in our churches because the Gaystapo has never ever intimidated anybody, or sued them for not baking a wedding cake, or anything like that. Oh no, not them. They have never thrown the first pie at anybody. Or threatened to burn down their pizza parlor. Yeah. Sure.

those who believe allowing same sex marriage is proper or indeed essential, whether as a matter of religious conviction or secular belief, may engage those who disagree with their view in an open and searching debate.

What the hell does that mean? What if I don't care to "debate" with the pro-sodomites?

That will happen likely starting tomorrow every bible believing church needs to have an answer now Maybe only doing weddings for confirmed Members of their churches in good standing????

We will be driven underground but I would like to see us stand as a witness in the public square as long as God allows We need to plan carefully and urgently for the challenge coming

If believers worked that way, they wouldn’t get all worked up about a secular country acting, well, secular.

You don't expect these secular activists to pick a traditional Church and proceed to sue it and the pastor/priest for declining to perform their wedding?

See what they did to bakers, florists, candlestick makers ...

“Yep. And the next battle will be when gay couples seek out the most conservative churches they can find and demand to be married there.”

Muslims are known to be very conservative. I think that would be a great place to start.

Divorced people are allowed to remarry
Protestants are allowed to get married

The Catholic church has never been forced to carry out weddings for divorced people or Protestants

Let’s face it; basically, the entire Old Testament of The Bible is wildly politically incorrect these days. I don’t think it’s much of a stretch to see it banned from libraries in the next 10 years.

If you think gays being recognized as ‘married’ or ‘normal’ by a satanic govt is a threat to Holy matrimony or practicing one’s faith, right back at ya.

Now, if I was in business to profit off of one’s ‘big wedding day’ , I suspect I would be a little nervous today or extremely happy more customers are coming depending on the ‘faith’ one adheres to ...

Choose who you will serve.

We get these ‘rulings’ and some will have no change in their life...
Amen that I am part of that group..

It does hasten the fall though.

Gays aren't going to go to mosques to get married any more than they're going to ask Muslims to cater their weddings.

Liberals like Muslims and don't wish to make them feel uncomfortable. They hate Christians and enjoy twisting the knife.

Of course, when militant Islam gets a foothold in America, things are going to change pretty quickly. "But we were so nice to you!" will be their last words before the sword comes down.

And the next battle will be when gay couples seek out the most conservative churches they can find and demand to be married there.

Couples, legitimate or not, don’t just waltz into any church demanding a marriage...the church generally has a process, involving preparation and coordination with wedding committees, perhaps classes to ensure proper understanding of the sacramental meaning of matrimony...the next battle will entail whether such preparation procedures provide a bar to equality...and if a court rules that it does, then the fun will begin...

No, you are just blind enough to think this is about marriage. You can stick your head in the sand but someone is teeing up to kick you right in the ass.

Of course they are. Some local media are sympathetic to certain causes. It is up to us to become more media savvy and learn how to use them to get our points out.

I understand I live in Babylon, Sodom, Gomorrah, Egypt all rolled into one.

I dont celebrate that ‘freedom’ anymore...

I am fully aware I live in a counterfeit world..

But I don’t call me today Friya’s day like the world..

He already led me out, spiritually, although physically would be nice too, if that is His Will.

No head in the sand.. Wide awake.
