	Marry Gay Couples or Go to Jail 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. A federal judge recently ruled that the state’s ban on gay marriage was unconstitutional, while the city of Coeur d’ Alene has an ordinance that prevents discrimination based on sexual preference. The Supreme Court’s recent refusal to take on gay rights’ appeals from five states has opened the doors for same-sex marriages to go forth. Donald and Evelyn Knapp were just asked by a gay couple to perform their wedding ceremony, The Daily Caller reported. The Alliance Defending Freedom has filed a suit in federal court to stop the city from enforcing the fine and jail sentence, saying in a statement from senior legal counsel Jeremy Tedesco that the government has overstepped its bounds, The Daily Caller reported. “Many have denied that pastors would ever be forced to perform ceremonies that are completely at odds with their faith, but that’s what is happening here—and it’s happened this quickly,” Mr. Tedesco said, The Daily Caller reported. But the city sees it differently. As far back as May, city officials were insisting that their ordinance is indeed in line with law. -www.washingtontimes.com, 20 October 2014 With breathtaking speed, the new laws governing Sodomite marriages are sweeping the world. What was unthinkable just one decade ago has become reality today. We are reminded of the words Jesus spoke about the end days, “Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot; they did eat, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded; But the same day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all” (Luke 17:28-29). While opponents of same-sex marriage laws may be successful in protecting pastors from being fined or jailed, in the long run, churches and ministries, by whatever name, are subsidized by the government and will have to comply. Public funds and public laws are aimed to overrule the clear teaching of Holy Scripture. Therefore, the words we quoted from Luke 17:28-29 are more applicable than ever.
