Victory For Us Baker In 'Transgender Cake' Case - The Christian Institute A legal case against a Christian baker, who refused to make a cake celebrating a ‘gender transition’, has been dropped following months of dispute. Jack Phillips was taken to court by the Colorado Civil Rights Commission which accused him of discriminating against Autumn Scardina, a male lawyer identifying as a woman. This is the second time the State of Colorado has failed in an attempt to prosecute the baker for wishing not to provide cakes promoting LGBT issues. Last year Mr Phillips won a similar case at the US Supreme Court after he rejected a request to provide a same-sex wedding cake. He won the case after proving “hostility” against his “sincere religious beliefs”. The Masterpiece Cakeshop owner said he was willing to take the new case to the Supreme Court too, affirming that sex “is given by God… and cannot be chosen or changed”. The case has now been dropped by the courts and a decision to end all legal action against the baker was approved unanimously by the Colorado Civil Rights Commission. Jim Campbell, a lawyer from US religious liberty organisation Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF) who supported Phillips, said: “We hope that the state is done going along with obvious efforts to harass Jack. “He shouldn’t be driven out of business just because some people disagree with his religious beliefs and his desire to live consistently with them.” ADF released a statement saying: “Jack’s victory is great news for everyone. Tolerance and respect for good-faith differences of opinion are essential in a diverse society like ours.” And Phillips later called his victory “a win for freedom.” He added: “I’m very grateful and looking forward to serving my customers as I always have: with love and respect.” https://www.christian.org.uk/news/victory-for-us-baker-in-transgender-cake-case “Fair Use For Education and Discussion Purposes” Loz :] Hi Loz. Good to be posting with you again. Thankful for a moment of sanity in this court decision, but cannot help but be grieved over the level of depravity our nation has fallen to by virtue of the fact that we even need to fight this battle in the first place. Hi Loz! Welcome to the new Ritan! Good to see you again :bye: Hi Watchman35 and Yohanan. Glad to be with the Family again. Loz, can you imagine how much time, energy, and money is spent on trying to prosecute these ridiculous charges? Hundreds of thousands of dollars probably over refusal to bake only one cake, for Pete's sake!! We Christians and what we stand for have got to be really frightening to governments since they are willing to heap up piles of resources that high just to bull us over for a cake! His Masterpiece cake shop is not far from us. This should not have happened in America, the land of the free! But, evil is abounding as we all know, and goodness and righteousness are being attacked on every level. Praising God for Mr Phillip's strong stand measure of faith by which God honored him and honored His word, to protect His children. It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not be encumbered once more by a yoke of slavery. Gal 5:1 The cake is just the instrument. If it were a New Age, Muslim, Budhist, Atheist, Sikh or any other religion it would not be happening or considered. It's a direct attack against Christians and by association God Himself. Ephesians 6:12 Just another sign that we are indeed in the last days.
‘Sincere religious beliefs’
Case dropped
‘Great news’
Maranatha!!!
For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
