Southern Baptist head vows never to perform same-sex unions
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — The president of the nation's largest Protestant denomination on Tuesday vowed never to officiate at a same-sex union, and the Southern Baptist Convention called on the U.S. Supreme Court not to declare a constitutional right to same-sex marriage.
Pastor Ronnie Floyd was speaking to delegates at the convention's annual meeting in Columbus, Ohio. But he said his message was also for the U.S. Supreme Court — which is expected to rule within days on same-sex marriage — and for all of America.
Floyd said he has compassion for people whom he described as struggling with same-sex attraction, but he said it would be wrong to remain silent on the issue.
"America: We stand believing that marriage is the uniting of one man and one woman in a covenant commitment for a lifetime," Floyd said to a standing ovation from the 5,000 people in attendance. "We do not need to redefine what God himself has defined already."

If PA laws can be used to force a Christian baker to make a "gay wedding cake", how is it that we legally sift this person's faith out from a minister who performs marriages? If the minister or the church take money for weddings performed to any person outside their parish, they are providing a public service. PA laws would apply just the same to any member of a church. Being a minister taking money for public commerce outside the fold puts him immediately on legal par with the Christian baker.He knows he can't be made to, but many of those he speaks to don't know.GOOD. Because you can't make him.
Also, the highlighted quote is bullshit. When did God call for marriage between one man and one woman? The Bible is full of men with hundreds or thousands of wives and whores, not to mention incest,
GOOD. Because you can't make him.

He was never in danger of being forced to do anything.Good for him. One more American who has had enough of being forced to accommodate the radical left.
And the bible is relevant to a discussion of the law related to marriage how?I mean, I have more passages if you want them. The whole "God doesn't call for marriage between a man and a woman" argument falls flat in the face of a Christian who knows his Bible inside and out.
How is he standing up when no one asked him to perform one and no one has suggested that he could be forced to do so? Standing up to what?Good for him, standing up for what's right.They're desperate to keep membership, which has been falling fast.

Next? You have no idea what God said. Did you hear his or her voice? No.He knows he can't be made to, but many of those he speaks to don't know.GOOD. Because you can't make him.
Also, the highlighted quote is bullshit. When did God call for marriage between one man and one woman? The Bible is full of men with hundreds or thousands of wives and whores, not to mention incest,
(1) God created woman for man.
(2) God said men laying with men was an abomination in his sight
(3) Because people in the Bible (God fearing men like David) had many wives, didn't make it right.
Next...?
