New Gestapo says Christian pastors who won’t marry homosexual couples must be locked up
The Washington Times - Monday, October 20, 2014: Coeur d ‘Alene, Idaho, city officials have laid down the law to Christian pastors within their community, telling them bluntly via an ordinance that if they refuse to marry homosexuals, they will face jail time and fines.

The dictate comes on the heels of a legal battle with Donald and Evelyn Knapp, ordained ministers who own the Hitching Post wedding chapel in the city, but who oppose gay marriage, The Daily Caller reported.

“On Friday, a same-sex couple asked to be married by the Knapps, and the Knapps politely declined,” The Daily Signal reported. “The Knapps now face a 180-day jail term and a $1,000 fine for each day they decline to celebrate the same-sex wedding.” FULL WASHINGTON TIMES ARTICLE HERE:

REMNANT COMMENT: Remember how our liberal and centrist friends mocked us when, back during the marriage amendments debates, we predicted this day was coming?  “LOL!  Don’t be so melodramatic. No state is ever going to force a priest or minister to violate his own conscience by preforming same-sex wedding ceremonies! This is America!”

No, of course not!

Okay, so here’s another prediction: Within five years, Christian schools (including home-schools) that do not teach the morality of same-sex marriage in their moral theology and ethics classes WILL.BE.SHUT.DOWN!

Persecution of Christians in America will never happen? Yeah, right!  It's already here, and this lady wants more...



Help us fight back...while there's still time!
