Which maybe they are prepared to do, just as that Kentucky clerk sat in jail for refusing to issue marriage licenses to gay couples. Perhaps it will take some high profile instances of Christians sitting in jail for ridiculous reasons before this nation will wake up to the fact that people have conscience rights.
AMEN!
If you have a debt pay it. This is a simple biblical principle. Maybe knowing what the bible teaches even on matters that you disagree with it on is lost concept on some. Either that or I am misinterpreting the verse where Jesus says “if someone sues you for your cloak given them your tunic as well”(not direct quote). They have the money, but they are just refusing to pay it, and I am supposed to feel bad for them. If your problem is with them owing the lesbian couple damages I understand and empathize with this. Maybe we change the current legal precedence for this, but until then the government/lesbian couple has every right to pursue obtaining their money. My knowledge of the law is extremely limited but I would assume that if the decision is overturned that they would get their money back.

Just what are their rights?
(Disclaimer: yes, I’m a supporter of LGBTQ civil rights, but that does not mean I support EVERY cause)
They don’t even have to pay it they can put the money they have been given in an escrow account until the appeals process is over.
If I recollect all the money that was raised by GO FUND ME was given back to the contributors, i.e., the GO FUND ME organization did not want money being raised for the KIeins, and so stopped any attempts by people wanting to contribute to their cause.
Maybe, they’re refusing to pay on principal, or maybe the money they did receive was spent on lawyers, and since they’ve already had to shut down their bakery, I personally don’t believe they should have to pay anything. T
Well, it seems not.
If this is the case, they may not have to pay it, that is, if they do not have the funds to pay it. Even lesbians can’t get blood from a turnip.
Have they done so?If I understand you I think you are saying that until the appeal process is over legally they have to at least put the money in an escrow account.
If they put the money in escrow taking their house would not be an issue.
I had to reread your post multiple times because I do not think you understand what you are saying or you mistyped. I think you want to say that if they put the money in escrow then taking the bakers house would be an issue, but you said would not be an issue. I really don’t like talking in hypotheticals when I am actually talking about a real situation. Did they or didn’t they put money in escrow? If we don’t know there is nothing more to discus here.If they put the money in escrow taking their house would not be an issue.
If they take the money they have been given by people to pay the judgement and put it in escrow until the appeals process is over, their house wouldn’t be in jeopardy.

Ummmm, full civil equality under the rule off law? Have the law applied equally??
If the law were applied equality then why are we seeing Christians being persecuted for believing that marriage is between a man and a woman as based on their religion (and protected under the 1st amendment of the constitution)??Ummmm, full civil equality under the rule off law? Have the law applied equally??
I cannot believe that you have the gall to say that Christians are being persecuted for their Christianity in America. Get some perspective, because your naivety is laughable.
yes Christians are being persecuted in America.
