Supreme Court rejects Kim Davis’ request to reconsider landmark gay marriage ruling

Michie · Monday at 9:24 AM

The U.S. Supreme Court has rejected a petition filed by former Kentucky county clerk Kim Davis to reconsider the 2015 ruling legalizing same-sex marriage nationwide.

In an orders list released Monday morning, the high court denied without comment a petition for a writ of certiorari in the case of Kim Davis v. David Ermold, et al.

Additionally, the Supreme Court denied a motion from the Alabama-based conservative group Foundation for Moral Law to file a friend-of-the-court brief "out of time."

In June 2015, the nation's high court ruled 5-4 in Obergefell v. Hodges that states could not ban same-sex marriage, concluding that the 14th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution protected the unions.

Just one of many reasons America will eventually be judged. Maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow... but it will be.

Agreed. The lack of sense of sin is our greatest failing, imo.

Why would America be judged for what a panel of judges ruled?

Because it makes it the law of the land. It's like if a panel of judges ruled on allowing people to just murder who ever they want, because the judges are part ruling the country, the nation will be judged when murder sky rockets.

So, Americans that disagree with the ruling are as guilty as the judges?

I'm thinking that we should focus on the sins that Jesus was most concerned about.

I'm trying to figure out how allowing couples to marry each other will harm the rest of us. I don't recall Jesus declaring that government control was the answer to sin. If He didn't think it was worth mentioning, why should be think it's how a nation will be judged?

They harm themselves spiritually, that’s for sure, and forcing others to provide for services when others believe it’s wrong or immoral is never ok. They cannot impose their “values” onto others. It’s a two way street.

Jesus told the woman caught in adultery, “go and sin no more.”

As long as they respect the rights of others to deny them service, I don’t care, to be honest.

There's examples in scripture where a leadership promoted sin, and thus, the entire nation was judged.

The Lord had humbled Judah because of Ahaz king of Israel, for he had promoted wickedness in Judah and had been most unfaithful to the Lord" - (2 Chronicles 28:19)

Surely these things happened to Judah according to the Lord’s command, in order to remove them from his presence because of the sins of Manasseh and all he had done, including the shedding of innocent blood. For he had filled Jerusalem with innocent blood, and the Lord was not willing to forgive. - (2 Kings 24:3-4)

Who ever is in power and what they do, absolutely has consequences. So since God is against gay relationships in general, the promotion and allowance of it, will absolutely have consequences. It's not about it "harming" us in the sense like physical violence, but it is "harming" in the sense of spiritual righteousness. When you promote and allow sin to run rampant, eventually the country is judged. Just like Sodom, just like Gomorrah, Babylon and others. The world screams "tolerance" but Gods rules are applied to every single person living on this planet and he has the right to judge when he's had enough.

I notice that Jesus didn't call for government force to make people avoid sin. I notice that of all the sins that are, His focus was not on homosexuality. He didn't even mention it, as far as we know. That being so, I doubt if homosexual marriage is going to harm America.

I get the issue. For example, the baker who didn't want to make a wedding cake for same sex couple. On the other hand, a government official would have to avoid any discrimination in that regard. Private vs. public.
