What about those who are hired, without KNOWING it was a gay marriage?

What sort of legal excuse they show to avoid going? since they work for a company which was PAID for whatever service needed.

Waiters have to go, if their company was paid to bring that service...

Just think of those that could be hired or contrated, like those who arranged flowers, etc.

Can you imagine if they agreed though. You know me. You know what I would say. And, since I have absolutely no intention of allowing myself to be forcibly removed afterwards...

I would go on the condition that I be allowed ten minutes to speak to all in attendance using the PA system right before the sacrilege takes place. Unless that condition is met; however, then no I would not attend.
Then, if they don´t allow to used their contracted PA System, a chopper can by hired to cast brouchures telling what you wanted and, if some money is left, another PA system can be hired to shout it out loud around the neighborhood. (Breaking the laws, in a discriminative way?)

They DO know that is a sin!

They do want to break GOD¨S laws (as it has being done, before the Lord Jesus came down)

Would you go?

Yes -Hoping to 'witness', after all the Lord may open a door

No- My going is a witness of my approval of open rebellion against God's Word.
You will not get invited to a gay wedding if you walk in the Light with the baptism of the Holy Ghost.
It will not happen. They will not want you nowhere near them.

OOooooooh....that's a toughie. If you don't go, is that a bad witness? If you do go, is that a bad witness as well? Wow...

I think if it were a family member I would go. But if a friend I'm not sure.... I would want to show as much love as possible to the person, but make it perfectly clear without beating it into their heads that I disagreed with the decision...

I mean is it selfish if they send a "yes or no" invite to put, "Although I disagree with this I love you and want to support YOU so I'll go."

Let's make it a bit tougher.
What if they were a family member AND professed being a Christian...

I'm thinking of passages such as...

I wrote to you in my letter not to associate with sexually immoral people—not at all meaning the sexually immoral of this world, or the greedy and swindlers, or idolaters, since then you would need to go out of the world. But now I am writing to you not to associate with anyone who bears the name of brother if he is guilty of sexual immorality or greed, or is an idolater, reviler, drunkard, or swindler—not even to eat with such a one. For what have I to do with judging outsiders? Is it not those inside the church whom you are to judge?
(1Co 5:9-12)

I feel so tempted to change my Facebook profile to the rainbow stripes they have to promote Gay Pride and put Genesis 9 in big letters over the top of it.

Lol. These professing Christians that always teach we need to accept and love evil can step off from this aging Victory Outreach saved ex-street fighter.

They can grovel, swallow pride, and let it slide in front of these immoral lefty bullies. They're not from the south side but I is. Give them the business or give them the blues.

So should I do it? Because Christians can preach about God being Love until they're blue in the face. It doesn't stop the fact that He's also truth and hates sin.

If they'll agree to let you address all present with the PA system for ten or fifteen minutes right before the sacrilege is scheduled to commence, I would say yes and use that time to give them a Jonathan Edwards style 'Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God' that they will NEVER forget and make sure they understand their position before HOLY creator God in their spiritually lost, deceived, immoral state of rebellion. If they won't let you do it, then don't go.

"And let every one that is yet out of Christ, and hanging over the pit of hell, whether they be old men and women, or middle aged, or young people, or little children, now harken to the loud calls of God's word and providence. This acceptable year of the Lord, a day of such great favours to some, will doubtless be a day of as remarkable vengeance to others. Men's hearts harden, and their guilt increases apace at such a day as this, if they neglect their souls; and never was there so great danger of such persons being given up to hardness of heart and blindness of mind.

God seems now to be hastily gathering in his elect in all parts of the land; and probably the greater part of adult persons that ever shall be saved, will be brought in now in a little time, and that it will be as it was on the great out-pouring of the Spirit upon the Jews in the apostles' days; the election will obtain, and the rest will be blinded. If this should be the case with you, you will eternally curse this day, and will curse the day that ever you was born, to see such a season of the pouring out of God's Spirit, and will wish that you had died and gone to hell before you had seen it. Now undoubtedly it is, as it was in the days of John the Baptist, the axe is in an extraordinary manner laid at the root of the trees, that every tree which brings not forth good fruit, may be hewn down and cast into the fire.

Therefore, let every one that is out of Christ, now awake and fly from the wrath to come. The wrath of Almighty God is now undoubtedly hanging over a great part of this congregation: Let every one fly out of Sodom: 'Haste and escape for your lives, look not behind you, escape to the mountain, lest you be consumed.'"


So should I do it? Because Christians can preach about God being Love until they're blue in the face. It doesn't stop the fact that He's also truth and hates sin.

Genesis 9:8 .) And God spake unto Noah, and to his sons with him, saying,
9 .) And I, behold, I establish my covenant with you, and with your seed after you;
10 .) And with every living creature that is with you, of the fowl, of the cattle, and of every beast of the earth with you; from all that go out of the ark, to every beast of the earth.
11 .) And I will establish my covenant with you; neither shall all flesh be cut off any more by the waters of a flood; neither shall there any more be a flood to destroy the earth.
12 .) And God said, This is the token of the covenant which I make between me and you and every living creature that is with you, for perpetual generations:
13 .) I do set my bow in the cloud, and it shall be for a token of a covenant between me and the earth.
14 .) And it shall come to pass, when I bring a cloud over the earth, that the bow shall be seen in the cloud:
15 .) And I will remember my covenant, which is between me and you and every living creature of all flesh; and the waters shall no more become a flood to destroy all flesh.
16 .) And the bow shall be in the cloud; and I will look upon it, that I may remember the everlasting covenant between God and every living creature of all flesh that is upon the earth.
17 .) And God said unto Noah, This is the token of the covenant, which I have established between me and all flesh that is upon the earth.

That would cause anyone to REPENT!!!
Hear, hear! No need for shouting and waving a sign around saying, "the end is nigh!" I just have to step out my front door and people are on their faces crying out to God to save them. ;) :p
