Roberts did seem ticked today in reading his dissent.

I wonder if he tried to forge a broader consensus that included explicitly stated protections for peope of conscience to the free exercise of their beliefs on marriage, and was told to go pound sand by the majority.

Kennedy’s last paragraph is particularly dangerous, in that it points to the reinterpretation by the Court Majority of the 1st Amendment as “Freedom to Worship”, rather than free exercise of religion, as we’ve discussed here before.

You really think if you accept Jesus you get to go to heaven. How cutely naïve. You did nothing on Earth worthy of Him. You accepted sin all around you, but somehow you think as long as you accept Jesus that’s all that matters. Well, then accept him and off yourself. No need to stick around here any longer. Your job is done. You accepted Him. Heck, you could have been gone years ago.

I believe in the finished work of Yahshua, the Lamb of Yaweh, the Elohim of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob .

He is the author and finisher of my faith. The one who died for my sins.

The Way, Truth and Life..

And amazingly, I met Him as the Roman Jesus but He didn’t let me stay there.and maybe that is why I see the world as I see it today.

And I understand He is Soveriegn and is coming back.

And my work isn’t done. He gave me lots of commands, in addition to His top ten.
In fact, we are just getting started. We are told there will be a 1000 year reign on this earth with Him in His Kingdom.

I strive to be salt and light for His Kingdom. And the beauty is He gives us a Helper to do what He wills for our life..

And I don’t worry about supreme courts or govts. It is His court and government that matters.
And I can live that out each day, regardless the way the secular wind blows..

WHat would happen if ALL Christian Churches QUIT doing ALL Weddings and Christians QUIT getting married?

If ‘getting married’ became a GAY THING would they still want to do it?

If I had a bakery, I would still sell wedding cakes to anyone who wants one, but NOT deliver them and ONLY make 1 kind with the option for top decoration.

If you believe this you are in for a big surprise. The Bill of Rights means NOTHING. It should now be called the Bill of Suggestions or the Bill of You Can do that-—for now peasant.

they did not redefine marriage. They undefined it

Precisely put. There is no "homosexual marriage"; there is no "traditional marriage" ... there is simply no such thing as "marriage".

If we expect our "conservative" politicians to do anything about this ... well ... "you can just wish in one hand and obama in the other ..."

blah, blah, blah. You are a coward for thinking salvation in the heavens is your only concern while the world burns around you.

To “Justice” Kennedy, I would say this:

Why should we believe you? There is not one damn word in the Constitution of the United States concerning marriage. In which case, according to the 10th Amendment, it is a matter for the people and the states. Yet, because of the court’s ability to legislate from the bench, those people and states who followed the rules were nullified. To say that anything is protected by any amendment is at this point mendacity. You and your black-robed brethren have no credibility. None.

My concern is to walk in obedience to Him who redeems me.

He is not silent on sin. Nor is He tolerant of it..

People only need to read between the lines of the garden and the punishment eve and adam were righteously given for their ‘acts’..
If people can see how their punishment fit the ‘crime’, deviant and homosexual acts were performed from the very start..

This isnt new.. It is very old..

We’re about to find out who really loves Christ.
