UK Christian Couple in Legal Battle Over Refusing to Bake Cake for Homosexual Wedding Say 'Jesus Has Been With Us Every Step'
A Christian couple who have been found guilty in Northern Ireland of discriminating against gay people for refusing to bake a pro-gay marriage cake have said that Jesus is with them, as their high-profile case continued at the U.K. Supreme Court. Daniel McArthur and his wife Amy of Ashers Bakery attended a hearing before the Supreme Court on Tuesday in Belfast, with barrister David Scoffield QC arguing that the couple were being forced to go against their religious beliefs that marriage is solely between one man and one woman. The Christian Institute in the U.K. shared Daniel McArthur's statement in full before the hearing, where the baker stated that his family have been targeted for living by their convictions. "We were asked to use our creative skills to endorse a message at odds with everything we believe — and were sued because we said we couldn't do that," McArthur said. "We didn't say no because of the customer; we'd served him before, we'd gladly serve him again. It was because of the message. This has always been about the message." He later said that the case has been hard on his family, but said that they are "not alone." "Jesus Christ has been with us every step, sustaining us with His grace and His peace," he stated. "We know that through His coming to die for us, we can find forgiveness and we can be saved, and that He has done far more for us than we can ever do for Him." Click here to read more.
