Why is it that if a lesbian couple or homosexual couple want to get someone to

i think the problem her is one of freedom, you cant both have it and limit it at the same time

I don't understand exactly what you mean. But then again, if the Christian religion is as hateful and bigoted as you portray it to be, then I even more don't understand why anyone would even want to be a part of it, let alone fight to be a part of it. Personally, I choose to remain non-denominational and that way I won't have to worry about choosing the wrong church.

Thats ok too

Well there were other publishers who would have not objected to their lifestyle, so why did they go to a Christian publisher. I think that it was deliberate. They wanted to make it so no Christian publisher could refuse and that if they did, the publisher would go to jail and they thought great! We won! But they did not realize that a Christian would refuse and would go to jail and even face execution or torture if it comes to that and would obey God rather than man and not man rather than God.

I would like to add to your comment. You said that a Christian should not go against God...You're absolutely right...If you believe that strongly in your faith then you should follow along with those beliefs but keep in mind, God also said that you shall not judge and God is also supposed to be all forgiving...So really, if someone were to judge and not forgive another for their lifestyle...Are they acting like a Christian? I think not.

That is a good idea. The publisher is paying dearly for his decision, but it is better to suffer for doing right, then for doing wrong.

You got it.

Oh I think the couple knew photographers who would photo homosexual or 'gay' (I think I will put my Merriam Webster Dictionary in my shopping bag and next time-- I mean as a writer, I need as many synonyms as possible) but did not go to them, so they deliberately searched out a photographer who was a Christian and deliberately did not tell them that they were homosexuals until after the contact was signed.

i thought about that too, twoey. i mean a business owner has the right to choose who to serve, afterall he is the one who will lose the money so the customer can take their money somewhere else. it's also true that when planning for wedding the couple would surely get to nitty gritty because there will be a lot of money involved in it and it is going to be their day per say. the photographer shouldn't deny his responsibility after signing the contract, but if he signs the contract without knowing it is gay wedding that is against his religion, I don't see how the law didn't consider his freedom of religion too. but then again, how is it that he didn't know it was a gay wedding? did the couple go there and sign the contract themselves? because if they did he would've known they are homosexuals and could've refused to serve them before signing the contract that binds him

I go to church because I am a sinner. I do believe that a Christian has to not sin, or try not to sin and cannot do things that are considered major sins. So according to you, because some Christians are sinners, and some Churches have members that disobey God's commandments, that a publisher should allow the lesbian couples to get their own way. So we Christians should not get a sinner to come to repentance because well I happen to like chocolates too much, I sometimes say the bad word, and I will stomp off when I am angry instead of trying to sort things out. So only perfect people can correct others. And those poor people who are living in sinful ways will be dying of horrible diseases, watching their health suffer, and losing their respect all because that only ones without sin can get them to change. Well God can get people to change, but HE uses preachers and others, for those who do not want to go to church, to get them to think. OH in the Bible, it speaks of the woman caught in adultery, Jesus told her to sin no more. And did not Paul, who before threw Christian men and women into prison, write letters and wrote one in particular about a congregation who was not condoning a man who was sleeping with his father's wife? He did not say it was okay.

They wanted to promote that they were homosexuals. Now supposing two women say that they want a photograph of them together, and do not tell him that they are lesbians, then he is none the wiser. But if they say we are married to each other, then he knows they are doing what is against God's will and he has the right to refuse. I do not have any friends that are lesbian or homosexual and although I might know someone, I would have no idea because I do not shove my left hand with my wedding ring in their face and drag my husband and say, 'See, I am married! That is my husband!" and I do not think that a lesbian or a homosexual drag their partner and say, "I'm gay!"

Simple if you obey the Ten Commandments, then you are living right. Otherwise, you are living wrong. So if you steal or cheat or murder, and go after someone else's wife or husband, and moreover curse God and do not put God first place in your life, you are doing right. Otherwise you are wrong and you are wrong if you keep silent about those who do those sins.

I often wonder that too. Maybe they forgot that part where Christ said to the woman caught in adultery "go and sin no more." Maybe they figured that you can go on sinning when you become a Christian. Maybe they are afraid of persecution. It does make one wonder. Oh the homosexuals are going after the ones with higher standards, but don't worry they will then going after the ones who accept their lifestyle. So they do not get off scott free. It is like when the Nazis went after the Jews, there were some working as police officers and as clean up crews in the concentration camps, but after a while, these got sent to the gas chambers.

I do believe you ought to obey God rather than man. So if God said from the beginning that homosexuality is wrong it is still wrong now. I doubt that HE went and created a man/woman or a woman/man because HE would have made them different looking and appearing. But to have someone feel attraction towards his own gender and yet not look different, well that is proof that God only created man and woman. And a Christian will stand up for his beliefs and die for them rather than offend God.

I understand that there are those who live by religion, but it really isn't for everyone. Having your faith would help you to deal with life's little hiccups, but I prefer to rely on my own instincts and feelings, that way, I can't let anyone down. I actually want to study the bible one day, but not for religious reasons, I've heard it is a good piece of literature so it is on my to read list.
