    Christian baker and transgender cake lawsuit

    I actually agree. I think it is wrong to force any baker to make any cake ... that is bordering on SLAVERY. Now being a merchant implies a social contract, so any goods available on the shelf for sale should be for sale to anybody, but custom work should be within the right of the worker to...

    Christian baker and transgender cake lawsuit

    ... like when an activist goes into a cake shop to order a cake they know the baker will not create so they can sue them and drive them out of business. I think THAT qualifies.

    Christian baker and transgender cake lawsuit

    The issue has nothing to do with "gays" and "transexuals", per se. The objection raised is some are questioning whether ANYONE that is "unsaved" is a "child of God" according to Scripture. [I am one of those people that prefers to establish such "facts" from scripture rather that mere...

    Nope. [Mat 9:11 NKJV] 11 And when the Pharisees saw [it], they said to His disciples, "Why does your Teacher eat with tax collectors and sinners?" [Luk 5:30 NKJV] 30 And their scribes and the Pharisees complained against His disciples, saying, "Why do You eat and drink with tax collectors and...

    OK, ... so it is more of an Imageo Dei sort of thing that grants all mankind a familial relationship (even if we are the prodigal son) right from birth (as children of Adam, the son of God).

    Christian baker and transgender cake lawsuit

    Unless the BAKER just doesn't want people telling him/her what they MUST bake ... that could be the reason they left Eastern Europe e when the Soviet Union fell and moved to America where they were told they would be free from people telling them what they HAD TO DO.

    Christian baker and transgender cake lawsuit

    Before we become "children of God" (salvation), are all not "sons of disobedience" and "children of wrath" (Ephesians 2:1-3)? [NASB] 1 And you were dead in your offenses and sins, 2 in which you previously walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the...

    From the news article in the OP: "At Masterpiece Cakeshop, we serve everybody… we just can't express every message that people want us to with our custom cakes," Phillips told Fox News Digital in an interview. ... on the remote chance the FACTS mattered.

    The "Job" of a Priest is to perform wedding ceremonies ... (I trust you can see where this was going). The issue is BEING FORCED TO DO THINGS AGAINST YOUR WILL. The technical terms for that are SLAVERY and OPPRESSION. It is not a "right to refuse to do your job" (although people do have that...

    Do you believe Spirit baptism replaces water baptism?

    [Your OPINIONS and total lack of SCRIPTURE support, as well as your FAILURE to address the scripture I provided ... is noted.] "That being the case, until you decide to address the actual points raised and scripture presented in post #1,474, this conversation between us is [still] on indefinite...

    Do you believe Spirit baptism replaces water baptism?

    No, we need only conclude that you are not "listening", but only "waiting to speak". [There is a difference.] That being the case, until you decide to address the actual points raised and scripture presented in post #1,474, this conversation between us is on indefinite [PAUSE].

    Do you believe Spirit baptism replaces water baptism?

    :Laughingoutloud::Laughingoutloud::Laughingoutloud: :Ohpleze: You mean except for post: #1,474 (where I refute your nonsense with 3 different parts of scripture presented in CONTEXT rather than just quote mined for "proof text sound bites") However, do not let me stand in your way: Post that...

    Do you believe Spirit baptism replaces water baptism?

    Yes it is, but scripture clarifies "made without human hands": Colossians 2:11-15 [NKJV] 11 In Him you were also circumcised with the circumcision made without hands, by putting off the body of the sins of the flesh, by the circumcision of Christ, 12 buried with Him in baptism, in which you...

    Exactly what you think it means (and disagree with) ... NO BAPTISMAL REGENERATION!

    Then God walks where Rita walks … which mattered more to the Creator of the Universe … How cool is THAT! :cool:

    Do you believe Spirit baptism replaces water baptism?

    Depending on how LITERAL Revelation is, we all may. ;) In any event, you WILL walk where Jesus walks … it is just a matter of time.

    ”reinforced” means the cliff is man-made with reinforced concrete or something buried into it to hold it together. It looks natural on the outside but is more like a Dam on the inside. Any Storm Damage would just be repaired. (I’m a Registered Architect that works in Commercial Civil...
