The U.S. Supreme Court Monday ruled on narrow grounds in favor of a Christian baker in Colorado who refused to lend his artistry to a wedding cake for a same-sex duo, scolding state officials for violating the U.S. Constitution by showing hostility to religion.
The dispute is over a demand by a homosexual duo that Jack Phillips’ Masterpiece Cakeshop provide them with a same-sex wedding cake at a time when same-sex marriage was illegal in the state.
Phillips cited his Christian faith in refusing the request, and the duo then summoned the power of a left-wing state Civil Rights Commission, which ordered Phillips and his staff to go through reindoctrination.
In a 7-2 vote, the court ruled Colorado violated the U.S. Constitution’s Free Exercise Clause by showing hostility toward Phillips’ sincerely held religious faith. Click here to continue reading.
As a Christian, you can’t bake the cake, nor can you submit to ‘reindoctrination’ or ‘reeducation,’ or anything of the sort because that is the same as admitting you ‘need it.’ Might we suffer for it? Of course, just as Jesus said we would. I’m glad the ruling was right for now, but the darkness is still closing in. Even the article said ‘while it was still illegal,’ so does that mean that now that it is legal, the ruling would have been the other way? It certainly has become ‘Krystallnacht’ for Christian businesses!
