At Least Ten Religious Groups Have Come Out Against Anti-LGBT 'Religious Liberty' Laws

The prompting of the outrage to the hypothetical situation laid out to the pizza owners by the news reporter was would they cater a gay wedding. To say no you wouldn't, could be a stance of representing what your convictions are, could it not?

The biggest revelation in the Bible isn't actually salvation. Its salvation for all. The Jews, through their law and religion, had access to salvation since Moses. But Jesus' death and resurrection meant that EVERYONE had access to salvation: Jew and gentile. This is the biggest revelation of Acts, its the biggest argument Paul has with the rest of the Church: you don't have to practice the Jewish religious law to achieve salvation. Circumcision wasn't necessary, the old system of sacrifices and temple worship were out of date and ineffective.

So I don't understand why catering an event is, explicitly, a sin. Jesus hung out with prostitutes and tax collectors: both considered very sinful and morally bankrupt by the Jews that surrounded Jesus and to whom Jesus preached to. When questioned about this, Jesus' responded that the sick need doctors not the healthy. (Mark 2:17).

Furthermore, all sins are equal. James says a lot about that one there. James also likes to point out how we shouldn't show favoritism to each other.

Finally, and I just want to point this out: IF, and IF homosexuality (or the entire range of sexual deviancy that is encompassed in the LGBTQAA sphere, heh) is morally wrong, and the people involved in this culture of sin, so to speak, are to be saved and change their behavior, its not gonna happen overnight. A bisexual, transsexual, drag queen isn't going to magically become the straight female he once was. Obviously this is an extreme, but I make the point. They can't be saved if we already condemn them. Unless you're a hardcore calvinist, at the very least, this kind of behavior is not helpful for the cause of Christ: salvation for ALL. EVERYONE.
