Baker Faces Jail Time for Refusing to Bake Cake for Sodomite Wedding

 

[Baker Faces Jail Time for Refusing to Bake Cake for Homosexual Wedding The Christian Institute] "A baker in Colorado is facing a possible jail sentence because he declined to make a cake for a gay wedding.

At the time of the incident last year, discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation was a criminal offense in the state.

The lawyer for Christian baker Jack Phillips says, “The complainants can sue him civilly in the regular courts system or he can potentially be prosecuted by the district attorney for up to 12 months in jail.”

Phillips, one of the owners of Masterpiece Cakeshop, says providing a cake for Dave Mullins and Charlie Craig went against his Christian beliefs about marriage..." Full text:

Response to comment [from a Satanist]: "The golden rule."

 

How ya doin' with that Golden Rule, Satanist? Ro 1:21, 2:20


Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets "[Matt. 7:12].

"All right, when you meet somebody new, how are you going to treat him? You don’t know—you are not to judge—but if he is a dog or a swine, you had better know. You have to beware of phonies today. So what do you do? Make it a matter of prayer. “Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them.” This is the principle on which you should operate. “Therefore” is the most important word in the Golden Rule. It relates the Golden Rule to that which precedes it. That is, it postulates it on prayer. It all comes together in one package. Don’t lift out the Golden Rule and say that you live by it. Understand what the Lord is talking about. Only as we “ask, seek, and knock” are we able to live in the light of the Golden Rule." McGee, J. V. (1991). Thru the Bible commentary: The Gospels (Matthew 1-13) (electronic ed., Vol. 34, pp. 102–103). Nashville: Thomas Nelson.

 

"Let no one despise you." [Titus 2:15]

 

Eccl 10:2, Jn 10:10
 

 



These things speak, and exhort, and rebuke with all authority. Let no man despise thee [Titus 2:15].

"Paul says to Titus, “You are a young man. Don’t let them despise you because of the life you live.” Titus should be able to teach all these things with authority.

This has been a wonderful epistle. Every young preacher ought to study carefully the Book of Titus." McGee, J. V. (1991). Thru the Bible commentary: The Epistles (1 and 2 Timothy/Titus/Philemon) (electronic ed., Vol. 50, p. 168). Nashville: Thomas Nelson.

 

"...[Y]ou guys are going to these lengths to pervert something as simple as the golden rule just boggles the mind."

 

"It's like the preacher who went visiting one day and knocked on the door of his parishioner's home wanting to give them some spiritual council. He banged and banged. He could see the television running and the lights were on--bang, bang, bang--and no one came so he wrote out: Behold, I stood at the door and knocked. If any man had heard my voiced and opened I would have come in and supped with him and stuck it in the door knob.

Sunday, a lady came by and handed him a note. It said
Genesis 3:10, I was naked and hid myself...There are bizarre uses of scripture." ~ John MacArthur, paraphrased.

 

Response to comment [from a Christian]: "The baker wanted to refuse to treat them as he would have treated any other customer so they would know of his judgment, and his condemnation. He was going out of his way as a businessman to insult them, because they do not believe as he believes. And in so doing he became the opposite of what Christ teaches. He became anti-Christian."

He was willing to provide some treats but his personal beliefs prevented him from doing something that in his eyes, would be disrespectful to God.

Which makes him a cherry-picking fool and a self-righteous clown...

 

He serves all of his customers in a friendly manner--Sodomite or God-honoring. His customers said so. When he was asked to bake a cake for a wicked 'celebration', he refused.

Response to comment [from a Christian]: [Ongoing dialogue with the Satanist]

 

Ask the Satanist if a kosher deli owner should be forced to prepare his food differently than is his custom?

"...Antiochus Epiphanes thought it would be great to break the backs of Jewish religion so he slaughtered a pig on the altar in the temple and stuffed pork down the throats of the priests. That wasn't the end of it. The Jewish athletes wanted so much to identify with the Greeks that they began to avoid circumcision and they became uncircumcised. They rejected their Abrahamic identification. And nakedness for a second time in Israel's history became a serious sin. The first time was when they got involved in the Canaanite fertility rituals. Further it might be interesting for you to know that athletics in those days were constituting a religious act of worship for Zeus and Apollo so they were involved in pagan idolatry.

Finally in 186 B.C. Antiochus Epiphanes went all the way, plundered and desecrated the temple, set the city on fire, tore down the houses, took women and children captive and stole all the cattle. And he set up the worship of Zeus right in the altar of the temple of God." Full text:

Response to comment [from a Christian]: [Should a kosher deli owner should be forced to prepare his food differently than is his custom?] "More to the point..."

 

It's a yes or no question.

 

"...[S]hould a kosher deli be expected to sell kosher food to a Muslim, should a Muslim try to purchase some?  Answer: yes."

 

When did the baker ever refuse to sell baked items to Sodomites?  Answer: never.

Customers in his community said that he was gracious and kind to everyone--Sodomite or otherwise.

What he will not do is use his God-given talent to support an ungodly ceremony.

Answer: never.

 

[When did the baker ever refuse to sell baked items to Sodomites? Answer: never.] "Except for the time that provoked the court case. Nearly never, then."
The people suing him admitted that he had served them in the past and the baker had been gracious to them. The dispute is over a special ceremony.
