Pastors forced to perform same-sex marriages

http://onenewsnow.com/perspectives/m...m-gay-weddings

"Churches in Denmark are now compelled, by law, to host same-sex "weddings." "

Coming soon to a church near you.

"Tolerance" the new intolerance...

Yep, this will be done via an "executive order," using tax-exempt 501 c3 status and "hate crime" as reasons.

Democrats have already been talking for over the past month about submitting legislation to repeal the First Amendment.

Re: Pastors forced to perform same-sex marriages

you ever heard of underground churches?

That is all you need to do. Drop the 501-c3 and you can go exempt from the rules that they set up.

More and more we see that this might be a necessity.

Re: Pastors forced to perform same-sex marriages

I was just going to say that the 501-c is really going to hurt most churches very, very soon, and cause them to make difficult decisions, that will hurt their pocketbook. Either they will have to stop getting a free ride from the government, or begin dancing to the tune of the government's fiddle. (But nDavid beat me to it, lol!)

With the president that we have who seems absolutely intent on destroying everything good that this country stands for, it does seem quite possible that the atrocities suffered by fellow Christians in other countries, may soon come to roost here in our beloved USA.

The government can dictate any law it wants, we do not have to obey.
perhaps we have forgotten the early Christian martyrs who refused to obey the roman laws.

what is Denmark going to do, throw a pastor who refuses to the lions?
been there done that and we still here.

That's true. It's coming. Churches were not meant to be these mega, behemoth style money makers, they have become. Why be tax exempt?

My church has avoided the govt issues by not having preachers per say, but instead members of the congregation get up and give talks about what they learned, things to edify uplift and comfort.

When I suggested this while discussing house churches I was looked at like a crazy man. I'm glad some people are starting to see it.
