the argument as presented in Court was weakened by claiming that the baker him/herself was making a personal expression on the cake, he/she was not - Phizzy

If that argument was made in the original case than I agree, it is a weak point. The lawyer got that badly wrong. The ruling of the Supreme Court did not base their verdict on that.

The Sufficiency of Christ - Salvation

by JW Answers in

can we rely solely on christ and his sacrifice for our sins to be forgiven, or do we have to attribute our own works upon his finished work?

this video gives an explanation of the sacrifices made for israel under the law and what it meant at that time, and the sacrifice which christ made for ourselves under the age of grace today.

According to Paul, there is only one gospel for all of mankind...and that gospel is Christ's gospel - Vander

We can agree that Paul claimed to be preaching the same gospel as Jesus, but that doesn't make it so. Compare the words of Jesus with the letter to the Romans.

Just like you hate to hear about God and would want to live in a place where nobody will talk about God - Brazil

If I hate talking about god why am I talking about god? I enjoy talking about god and the reasons why people believe in him.

It is often wrongly said on this forum that Jesus rejected the Law, or broke it at will, in the interests of a greater good. Nothing could be further from the facts. Jesus told his disciples to keep the Law — not ONLY the letter of the Law but also the spirit of the Law.

Paul taught that humans were intrinsically evil and their only hope was forgiveness through faith in Jesus' sacrificial death. Calvin's 'TULIP' (to be more accurate Calvin's disciples' TULIP) is a fair summary of Paul's gospel. It is far from the teachings of the Jesus of the gospels.

That is certainly Calvin's gospel, but not Christ's.

It was Paul's gospel was it not?

But the baker didn't refuse to make the cake because the customer was gay.

If the customer had walked into the shop holding hands with his husband and ordered a dozen croissants the baker would have served him — and been legally compelled to do so.

You cannot legally refuse to serve somebody because of who they are or because you disagree with their lifestyle. You can refuse to make a product that promotes something that offends your conscience.

The distinction is simple and very important.
