As you may have read in news about the bakery in Oregon that closed down (moved into home) because it refused to sell a wedding cake to a lesbian couple. Here in Canada (New Brunswick), a few years back, a similar situation arose when a florist refused to create foral arrangements to a lesbian couple. My question is; according to 1 Corinthians 5:9-11; what right do we as christians have to refuse service to sinners? I mean, do these businesses screen everyone? What if an adulterer wanted to buy a cake? Or one who is committing polygamy? Or the common law couple who want a cake for their anniversary? Shouldn't we as Christians be gracious to those who are blinded by sin and need to be brought to repentance? Where is Romans 2:4 or Jude 1:23 in this?
