Ashers Bakery lose their court case

District Judge Isobel Brownlie has ruled that the owners of the Ashers Baking Company have unlawfully discriminated, on the grounds of sexual orientation, when they refused to bake and ice a cake with a pro-gay marriage slogan. The slogan on the cake was in support of Sodomite marriage, something which is illegal in Northern Ireland.

The Bible has this to say about those who are persecuted for their Christian faith:
Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness’ sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake.
Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you, Matthew 5:10-12.

    I am so glad at last that you found what Jesus Christ says about persecution of His followers in Matthew Chapter 5. For up to now all we hear/read on the media from so-called followers (more likely just fans) has been grumblings. If persecution makes us sad there is something seriously wrong with our faith. If we are being persecuted we Blessed among men. The worst thing a persecutor can do is kill us, but that sends us straight to the Bosom of our Lord in Heaven.
