The article in the link in the OP was written by gays. No Christian must ever participate in a gay wedding. It isn't enough to advertise that you specialize in normal weddings but then serve gays when they demand it "to protect yourself legally" (read the whole article). The punishment from Jude 1 doesn't have gray areas. You either refuse to enable a cultural homosexual takeover (using the core of all culture-marriage) or you spend eternity in the Pit of Fire.
I disagree. True Christians adhere to the teachings of Christ. Wedding vendors do not participate in wedding ceremonies. Baking, photographing, catering are not sacramental rites or rituals. They are the services such vendors are in business for.
Perhaps, if a vendor fears for the status of their immortal soul by baking wedding cakes, they should morally vet each and every customer to assure no sinners ask for their services. Should 'Christian' vendors provide a wedding cake for a adulterer? What if a customer failed to remember the sabbath and keep it holy? Maybe there is a customer who regularly takes the Lord's name in vain. These are sins enumerated in the Ten Commandments, unlike homosexuality.
Face it. Wedding vendors who refuse to provide the exact same service to homosexual couples as they provide for heterosexual couples are afraid of marriage equality. Why? Ignorance, suspicion, reliance on wicked stereotypes, open bigotry. Is that the way Christ commanded us to treat one another?
Face, it... A vendor: who is providing a service TO a wedding, is by any reasonable definition participating IN the wedding.
Just as a W h o r e house Piano Player, is participating IN the debauched services of the aforementioned house;
“When you raid a whorehouse, take the piano player, too, because no one is entirely innocent”.
The Reader should understand that the reasoning being advanced by the above noted would-be 'contributor', is a presentation of the same mental disorder that presents as sexual deviancy... wherein the disorder precludes the individual from being able to discern truth from that which is not true.
It is a form of madness, which is apparently contagious and more than likely it is the reason that for the whole of human existence, that homosexuals have been banned from open participation in the culture.
Think of it this way:
We're chronically being advised that Homosexuals have been present in humanity since the very beginning.
This would be since before Religion, before law and before all facets of civilization.
Now... if Homosexuality is NOT a mental disorder; meaning that homosexuals are 'just like everyone else, who just happen desire sexual gratification with those of their own gender, then HOW DID THE HOMOSEXUALS COME TO BE CLOSETED?
Doesn't it serve reason, that if the community was not threatened by homosexual behavior, that homosexuals would be universally accepted? That as Religion came to pass, homosexuality would be noted as something akin to a third form of gender, and noted merely for its 'special' attributes?
Yet... it was not accepted, and at EVERY POINT in human history where homosexuality has become openly expressed, the society which so accepted the behavior
COLLAPSED?
Where are the societies which have been prosperously sustained for thousands of years with homosexuality being an open element of such?
They do not exist? There's a reason for that... . And I submit that the reason is that such is a mental disorder and it is destructive to the viability of the community.
