While the “baker” felt comfort in denying a “gay” couple a wedding cake, one has to wonder if he applied that same biblical righteousness to others “sinners” who came to him for the same service.

Consider the passage many Christians refer to in condemning homosexuality: 1 Corinthians 6:9-10….. Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God…the kingdom of God. Other Bible versions of 6;9 are more explicit including those who “commit adultery, thieves, greedy people…”

So, did the baker bake a cake for alcoholics, divorcees, people who lived and were intimate before marriage? Do we, as Christians, really get to choose whom we condemn and refuse services to based on our acceptance of some “sin” and not others.

We do not.

Based on the words of Jesus; this is Matther 7:1-3… “Judge not, that ye be not judged. For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again. And why beholdest thou the mote (speck) that is in thy brother’s eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye?
