The issue here always was about freedom of religion AND freedom of speech. What a person believes will find its way into his verbal responses. The Bible believing baker told the sodomites he would not bake their wedding cake.
THE SUPREME COURT RULED IN FAVOR OF THE BAKER.
Christians around America need to thank the Supremes and the Lord that we still have at least one branch of the US checks and balances intact. The executive and the legislative branches have, in recent years, become a slough of despond as tricksters and the moral derelicts play the fool. At the present the President has nearly been totally hobbled by attempts to find him criminal, while the former President and his thugs go unprosecuted.
This court ruling sets the stage for further rulings we must pray for, that is, that the practice of one's religion cannot be made a toy of social warriors. Sodomites in particular are entering churches and trying to create crises of all sorts so that they can queer Jesus Christ. It is becoming clear that, based on the experience of Europe, the USA is creeping closer and closer to forcing sodomy on the Lord's Church.
Are you, preacher, teaching your people what the Bible says about sodomy, or are you wimping out and avoiding such topics. I know, you are very busy preaching on tithing, so you don't have time to preach on moral issues, right? Well, the day will come, if you keep wimping out on us, when YOU and your people will be forced to drop your drawers and bend over for sodomites.
“. . . the practice of sodomy is delightful, not deadly.” Behind all the relational descriptions of so-called same-sex marriage is the unspoken fact of “anal or oral copulation,” and in particular, “copulation with a member of the same sex.” That’s the dictionary.com definition of sodomy.
Someone will say: Choosing that word signifies your belligerence toward people with same-sex attraction. No, it signifies my hatred for what can destroy people with same-sex attraction. What destroys people is not same-sex attraction, but the lie that same-sex copulation is delightful, and not deadly.
What is truly belligerent is the promotion of shameful acts as beautiful acts. Belligerent is the right word, because the Bible says that you should “abstain from fleshly lusts, which war against the soul”. So those who encourage the indulgence of these passions (whatever they are) are making war on souls — they are literally belligerent. 1 Peter 2:11 Dearly beloved, I beseech you as strangers and pilgrims, abstain from fleshly lusts, which war against the soul;
The word sodomy has two advantages: it refers to the act of same-sex copulation, not same-sex orientation; and it still carries the stigma of shamefulness. Those who love people with same-sex attraction should want to preserve the stigma of shameful practices which destroy them — just as we should try to preserve the stigma of stealing and perjury and kidnapping, and fornication, and adultery. It is a gracious thing when a culture puts signs in front of destructive behaviors that read: Don’t go there; it is shameful.
“. . . the practice of sodomy is delightful, not deadly.” The second word in this sentence that may be twisted is “practice.” When the Bible links “men who practice homosexuality” with “thieves,” and says that neither will inherit the kingdom of God, it is important to note two crucial things. 1 Corinthians 6:9 Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, 10 Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God.
One is that the warning is not sounded against those who are tempted to steal, but who practice stealing — thieves. Similarly the warning is sounded not against those who are tempted to practice homosexuality, but against those who actually do practice it. To be sure, there are all kinds of inward heart-lusts that are sinful, but the focus here is on the practice…
“. . . the practice of sodomy is delightful, not deadly.” The third word in this sentence that may be twisted is “deadly.” I am not referring to AIDS or to hate-crimes against people with same-sex attraction. I hate hate-crimes, and I would love to see a cure for AIDS. I am not talking about the painful fallout of sodomy in this world — as real as that is Romans 1:27 And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.
I am talking about “the second death.” Revelation 21:8 But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.
The supernatural monster who orchestrates the kidnapping, enslaving, and thousand-fold drugging, selling, raping, and killing of girls around the globe, is the same one who has masterminded the murderous cultural delusion — from the highest court to the lowest porn-flick — that the practice of sodomy is delightful, not deadly. John Piper, August 3, 2015
Sodomites have declared war on the Bible, and since they cannot burn all the Bibles in America, they attack the next best target..... Christians. Jesus told us this would happen and to rejoice when we are persecuted.
While that is true, it is also true that the Bible nowhere tells us to go looking for persecution. It will come well enough without looking for it. Indeed, your church leaders must consider getting off the bull's eye. That means getting out from under the bondage of your non-profit corporation registration with the IRS. The IRS is still packed to the top with hold overs from the Obama era, and they have a lust to destroy churches.
You can lawfully be an unregistered church. That is all that existed before the non-profit laws were passed long ago in 1894, and the courts still know the legal definition of a church per se.
Here is the definition of a church according to Black's Law Dictionary which is authoritative in all courts:
In Its most general sense, the religious society founded and established by Jesus Christ, to receive, preserve, and propagate his doctrines and ordinances. A body or community of Christians, united under one form of government by the profession of the same faith, and the observance of the same ritual and ceremonies. The term may denote either a society of persons who, professing Christianity, hold certain doctrines or observances which differentiate them from other like groups, and who use a common discipline, or the building in which such persons habitually assemble for public worship.
Nowhere in this definition is there any mention of non-profit status as, in any way, defining a church. And, THE WHOLE DEFINITION here includes precedents which establish this definition is formally accepted.
Your non-profit church is NOT lawfully what Black was defining.
A social or recreational club. A non-profit corporation is a public institution, and as such, you cannot limit who can become a member of your organization. To do so is discrimination which can be prosecuted as unlawful. At the present, the IRS is not prosecuting for this offense, so you get away with it. But, when an administration comes along that does not know Joseph, you will soon find yourself forced to accept sodomites and pedophiles as members.
If the IRS decides you have violated your non-profit legal status, they can wipe your church out instantly, or they can replace your board (leaders) with a mob of Sodomites or Freemasons. I heard of one church that had this happen a number of years ago, and they had no recourse.
What it boils down to is your lust for money. You imagine that your issuing of tax receipts for giving keeps the offering plate full. So, your greed will prevent you from doing the right thing. When our church unregistered, the offerings went UP. That is because our people gave "as God has prospered him," not according to the tax receipt. If you have stingy givers in your church, why then, of course your offering would go down if you unregistered. I Corinthians 16:1-3
We now have a conservative executive in Washington DC, so now is the time to unregister and become a lawful church. If another Liberal Progressive US administration were elected one day, they would return to the plans of Barak Obama and Hillary Clinton. These two both started talking about "freedom of worship." By this they meant you can worship freely on Sunday morning in the church house, but six days a week, and in the market place or work place, you will be forced to never speak of your religious beliefs.
Sodomites will lead the attack. They are now reported to be entering churches, according to their own publications, in order to dilute the zeal of churches against sin. They have long targeted churches to hunt for young boys to morally kidnap for sodomy. You pastors will soon be seeing sodomites walk the aisle when you give in invitation to confess faith in Jesus Christ. They will pray the prayer and pretend to be repenting of their sin. But, their whole motive will be to sabotage your biblical teaching and standards. When you try to deal with them, they will sue you.
The solution is to stop the easy believism invitations. You know two thirds of those who walk the aisle will never really be changed and repent because they are fake conversions. Stop it now. Change your method of winning souls to one-on-one meetings. These one-on-one sessions, not at the front of the church house, will then give you the opportunity to talk to the alleged seekers and determine if they are fake.
Finally, when a sodomite "gets saved," do not lay hands on him suddenly, as the Apostle Paul warned you. Wait to see spiritual fruit unto righteousness and a zeal to win souls to Christ. Stop being a gullible fool and believing everything you hear. Also, keep an eye on the new convert from sodomy as to young boys. If there is any particular interest by them in younger children, run the sodomite off. They are trying to make a crisis of their behavior, and you need to get them out the door at all costs.
Again, this all cannot be done if you are a non-profit corporation, especially a large church. The sodomite can sue you for discrimination and usually win. You can strut around like a banty rooster talking big about what you will do with sodomites, but only as an unregistered church can you be free to make the rules about such things.
