I work with two Christians who seem to think that homosexual sin is worse than others. Let me give you a quick backstory to what I'm talking about. I work in a bakery for 5 years and the bakery has three cake decorators 2 of them are Christians. We had a gay couple place a order for a wedding cake. Both of cake decorators who are Christians refused to make the wedding cake for the gay couple. They told the owner they will not make a wedding cake for people who live in sin and marriage is between a man and woman. The non-christian cake decorated made the wedding cake...so no problem.
Here is my issue both cake decorators have made cakes that involved people living in sin. For example they made a 5 year anniversary cake for a straight couple. One of the decorators asked if they plan on getting married? The man ordering the cake told her that he doesn't believe in marriage because its tied to religion and doesn't plan on ever getting married. So the christian decorator had no issues making that cake. If i'm correct these two people would be living in sin?
My last example is a man who divorced his wife and married her sister (his sister in law). First time he got married he used our bakery as well as the second time. If I'm correct the couple getting married would also be living in sin?
So the two Christians who I work with seem to think that the sin of homosexuals is worse than normal sin. I pointed out to one of the decorators that she is not performing the marriage ceremony she is just making a cake. She told me that by making the cake she would be helping them take part in sin. I debated with both decorators that sin is sin. The way both of them talked it seems like being gay is the worse sin of all. I pointed out about the guy divorcing his wife and they told me that being gay is worse than being divorced.
I personally believe that making a cake for someone isn't a big deal and I am a Christian. It's not like I'm performing the marriage ceremony. Am I wrong to think its not a big deal to make a wedding cake for a gay couple. A few other Christians I spoke to about this seem to think that being gay is almost as bad as murder! I tried to explain that sin is sin and they didn't seem to understand.
Just so everyone knows I believe being gay is a sin and is wrong. But if sin is sin why make this one seem so much worse?
I was wondering what's everyone's view on this?
