Literally every business has the right to refuse service for literally any reason, We saw this during covid Some business made you go through all kinds of hoops, just cuz they could.
This is because the devil knows that Christ is true. Such is the focus on Christianity. This is why these gay men targeted this man. There were enough gay bakers for them to go to. They know this. It is an attack against God and His people.
😆 chistoso [funny as in hilarity] (looked up “takes the cake” which comes from cakewalk...) interesante 🧐 and yes this gentleman is surprisingly wise Who is wise and understanding among you? Let him show by good conduct that his works are done in the meekness of wisdom. But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, willing to yield, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality and without hypocrisy. Now the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace by those who make peace. James 3:13,17-18 🌿
Fascinating and informative is exactly what I was going to say:) This man seems so kind, calm and reasonable.. Imagine that! haha If one listened to the mainstream media coverage one might have been led to think otherwise Like you say Chynna (I just subscribed today), peace of Christ!
I appreciate that because that’s his First Amendment rights, but I also believe we as Christians are to pray for those that have gone astray from God. I’m glad you sir Becket Cook couldn’t agree more with what he shared. I’m so happy that you are born again Christian man 🧍♂️ you can speak fluently and tell it like it is! 😉🙌
Mr Phillips, I pray that the Lord will increase your business 7 fold! I’ve watched so many Christians passively cave into with the pressures of the culture. You truly are a stand up hero I admire for not giving in!
I am really tearing up... listening now.. God cannot be mocked! I will pray for you brother Jack Phillips. I may not be able to comprehend as to what is it to be in your shoes, but i am deeply encouraged. Reminded by Paul"s words.. I have fought the good fight, i have finished the race, i have kept the faith.(2Tim.4:7)
@@BecketCookNo it isn't brother Becket. Paul was facing martyrdom. You're still as dramatic as any queen. Please grow up soon: "We know no one after the flesh." Now, you are a true man of God, "an able minister of the new covenant, not of the letter but of the spirit." You are doing much good, but the enemy is subtle. There is no winning on carnal politico-social ground, only blood soaked ground. And quit amening the amens. That's man-pleasing.
As a Christian, we can't just go along with the culture because it's easier. Good on this man for standing up to the pressure the LGBT community put on him. He is a God pleaser, not a man pleaser.
He's actually also a man-pleaser as he wasn't alone in his views, and knew that. The political iron was actually pretty hot, though not yet glowing red. We are taught by St. Paul's example to become all things to all people that we might win them to Christ. Whatever job we do, we do for Him, and every human exchange is an opportunity to witness the Gospel. That Gospel includes the unlimited love of God toward sinners while yet IN their sins. This truth should never be compromised in favor of "the law of God" which condemns homosexuality and other sinful behaviors, and by which "shall no flesh be justified." The pressure that the enemy brings us is subtle. He wants to stray from the word of God and the power of God to more natural ground where he can beat us. Only that word brings forth fruit unto God. Romans 1:16 says, "I am not ashamed of the Gospel, for it is the power of God..." Finally, hating sin is not the same things as loving righteousness. Please think and pray on these things.
@@rominaf4901 Yeah, there was many ways to deal with the gay couple wanting a cake that would have been truly Christian. Aren't you a bit tired of Pharisees, Judaizers and Federalists hickacking your faith? Where's the blood of the lamb which redeems from sin? Put that in your cake.
@@timkins9155 - This owner by no means did anything to go against the Bible. Making a cake to symbolize and partake in sin is what he refused to do. He did not stop this couple from buying any cakes that was made in his shop. He did not show hate in anyway. He stood on the principle of his faith to not bake a cake that would symbolize an abomination per the word of God. We are never told to avoid all contact whatsoever with unbelievers. But we are told not to be partakers with them, not to partner with them. 1Thess 5:20-22 - hold on to what is good, reject every kind of evil. 1Tim 5:22 - do not take part in the sins of others. Keep yourself pure. Eph 5:6-7- Let no one deceive you with empty words, for because of these things the wrath of God comes upon the sons of disobedience. Therefore do not be partakers with them. 2Cor 6:14 - “Do not be unequally yoked together with unbelievers” {The word “partakers” means to be partners. More than companions, a partner is someone who is actively involved, even entangled in our affairs. There is the pursuit of common goals.} We must not partner with them in their sin. Especially here we need to keep in mind the nature of the particular sins and motives of the sons of disobedience. We do not join in their sin. We do not encourage it or enable it. We do not run with them in the same “flood of dissipation” nor do we make ourselves part of the group by endorsing what they do when they sin and chase their lust. Or, otherwise we are Not to encourage sin.
@@matttasby1186 BS. He took it to the Supreme Court along with the usual right wing Constitutionalists. He was a Catholic and I doubt had any of your noble motives. He knew full well that his position was in a particularly powerful place at that time. Here's what Scalia (Roman Catholic "textualist, originalist, strict constructionist" and Chief Justice AND "Federalist Society" stalwart) said about the 2nd amendment: "The right to bear arms is unconnected to service in a militia..." He cowardly quoted the defense here, thus avoiding having to use his own words to say such a patently false thing. The 2A reads: "A well regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free state..." Then, only after that wording does it mention gun rights, but to "the people" not an individual. He not only claimed disconnection to the militia but that "people" means "individual." This is the height of hypocrisy for a "strict constructionist." Shameless. And so he died suddenly not too long after that. Here's the reference for Scalia: constitutioncenter.org/blog/on-this-day-a-divided-supreme-court-rules-on-the-second-amendment It's all individualism when it comes to guns and other issues, but the state has a vested interest in protecting the womb. Its so typically political. Preach the Gospel to the gays. Don't close the door of heaven. That's what Jesus would do. Does all this make sense? You're the one using "empty words." Heres'a good one: "We know no man after the flesh..." You see guilty. I see son of God: "To as many as receive Him, He gave the power (right, authority) to become (to be) sons of God..."
I ordered brownies and chocolate chips from Jack and I have to say the best I have ever had ! I received on time for my birthday 🎂 last year . . Also I bought a coffee cup and love it !
God bless that man for standing up for what is right in God's eyes. Reminds me of this verse: Psalms 16:8 "I have set the Lord always before me; because He is at my right hand, I will not be moved."
Thank you Becket for having Jack on your show...and letting him explain his convictions and faith.It's amazing this has continued to be a highly debated topic 9 years later.Jack has taken " the heat" for every person of faith and I admire his STAND FOR TRUTH.Bravo Jack and bravo 👏 🙌 Becket!
God bless this sweet man! Him, his family, and his livelihood have seriously taken a beating for awhile now 😭 Lord, continue blessing him, give him and his family the strength they need to continue fighting against the enemy, in Jesus Mighty Name 🙌🏻 Becket, may the Lord bless you for giving light to this story and reaching people who may have never heard about it, who could potentially help! ♥️
@@C24680 I am sorry you feel this way, and believe he was acting hatefully because that couldn’t be further from the truth... this man is extremely humble and if you know about this, then you should know these men traveled out of their state to his bakery, knowing he was a Christian baker 😭 why wouldn’t they have gone to a local bakery near them, that wasn’t Christian based?
@@C24680 a few in gay community showed prejudice against the Christian baker is how I see it. They didn’t respect him at all. He would make cakes for the gay folks-why don’t you do you research? Stop being a nazi. Not all gay folks think the baker did anything wrong
@@slate49 wow Nazi' that's so very kind and 'christian like' of you to say that thankyou. I had actually rewritten my post further down having thought my initial and impulsive post was deleted on here. I wrote another one which although toned down still holds the same feeling that this man was in the wrong. He refused to bake them a cake that is why he was taken to court. Have a thought how those men would have felt as do lots of people in the lgbtq community do about being REFUSED service. That would be a more christian reaction. And please remove the offensive label of nazi from your post!
@@claudiaperfetti7694 I wouldnt bake a cake for a Nazi or anyone that will symbolize 'on their cake' showing hate of any colour or creed. Gay people dont fall into that bracket they're people like you who are living their lives. It's not your job to condemn!
Thank you Becket! And this unwavering man of faith. What a world we leaving in where we have to fight for our beliefs and rights. 😩 Jesus help us not to waiver in your name we pray! Amen.🙏
@@Angismit he wins because hes with Jesus. Jesus died for his sins so now when God looks at him, he sees Jesus who is perfect. Hooray! 😀 turn to Jesus and you'll win too. Bye xx
@@carlosreira413 sorry i dont know the answer to that one. Bless u 😀 im still learning. Please accept Jesus mate if u havent already. He has the answers. Hi again. Ive contacted Becket. He might be able to answer your question. Have a great day 😀
Why would anyone want someone involved in a "celebration" in your life that isn't in support of what you want to do?? Let it go people. Go against God and they may be surprised of the consequences that await that. There is another in the fire with this man. May God continue to protect you and your family Jack. Any time I'm near your shop I ll stop by!!
Liza, your question is a logical one! It’s true that good and kind hearted people who feel and believe in what the angels sang about on the evening that Jesus Christ was born, “Peace on earth, and good will toward men” do not understand what could possibly motivate anyone to take it so far as the men who sued Jack Phillips!! Yes, those who really do have feelings of good will for all cannot begin to understand the evil motives of the two men who sued Jack!! And the reason we do not understand is because our motives are not inspired by satan, who truly hates us!! It’s always been phenomenal to me that satan never gives up on tormenting all the children of God!! I mean, doesn’t it get tiring to always be continually persecuting someone??!! …But, no, these men follow satan, even though they don’t realize it, and they are his, and that is where they get their motivation for bad will toward people who don’t agree with their sinful ways!! Deep down, somewhere in their evil hearts, that good-hearted people don’t understand, these evil people who like going against our Father in Heaven actually WANT an innocent person to pay for their sin!!!! Hence, suing the innocent Jack Phillips!! These twisted people have twisted around the Gospel of Jesus Christ and do not appreciate, or acknowledge the way He paid for our sins by suffering for us in the Garden of Gethsemane and by dying for us on the cross!! But because they have a spirit inside of them that was created by God, they KNOW, deep down, that their sins MUST be paid for, and so their feeble and pathetic and counterfeit way of attempting to pay for them is by actually trying to FORCE an innocent person to pay!! I know it all sounds absurd, because IT IS!! But that goes to show you just how much satan has these two men in the grasp of his claws!! …And one of the worst parts about it is that they don’t even know that they are being used as PUPPETS by satan to do his work!!!! They actually need our prayers more than Mr. Phillips does! That’s why Jesus said to pray for those who despitefully use you and persecute you, because they are truly in bondage by satan!! It is IMPOSSIBLE for them to win this fight against good and against God, but, by golly, they sure will try with all their might…just like satan!! I truly do honor people like Jack Phillips! He is an absolute fantastic example to all of us!!! He is, and will be so blessed!!! 😊🥰
Such an inspiration! God loves our humble obedience. “Thank God! Once you were slaves of sin, but now you wholeheartedly obey this teaching we have given you.” Romans 6:17
Hello from a Londoner 🏴🙋♀️ I'm really enjoying your videos, bringing to light such important issues for Christians in today's world 🙏. God bless you, your life and witness. This issue shows how the world is following the ABC rule, anything but Christ. Basically anything goes, and can go - but nothing is in Christs favour. It's a spiritual battle for sure.
Jack is a model of faithfulness and an inspiration to all who follow Christ. A sweet man without a mean bone in his body. He should be afforded the right to live according to his conscience. I think we all want the freedom to do that.
You are a courageous man, Jack. Just know you are not alone in your convictions, though you may often feel alone in standing up for them. It's a daily battle for all of us to love non-believers through our convictions when they only receive it as hate.
Wonderful interview and update! So often we see only the headlines. Reporters drop the story and never follow through with an update to complete the story. With God's grace, this family has become stronger in their faith. A true blessing! Thank you for letting the family know their story was not forgotten and we care about them.
“A despicable piece of rhetoric?” I won’t be “ re educated either”. If you forget history you are condemned to repeat it. We need to pray for those in power.
Thank you for the interview, it was great to get a first hand account of what happened. You asked great questions to help us get the whole story. He is right, these lawsuits are for all of us, it will help us stand strong in our faith and Jesus principles to live a life worthy of the Master.
Both of you men are very brave! God bless you! God give us each courage to stand up for our convictions in whatever situation we encounter in this world and do His will always.
God bless this man and his integrity and the love and respect he so obviously has for his country and his religion and his father’s beautiful memory! Thank God that good people will stand up for his beliefs even if he feels like he may be standing alone! Right is right and God bless your lawyer as well! Fight the good fight!!
Jack Phillips has been an inspiration to me since I first heard of this case, just after the first one exploded. Praise God for all the victories God has granted him so far, and prayers for the victory to continue. ADF is an incredibly important part of keeping our nation’s constitutional rights strong...they truly do “defend freedom” daily!! Thank you for this great interview!!
So glad we still have Christians that actually stand behind what the Bible teaches. How selfish are these two “gay” men. I always wondered if it wasn’t a set up from the get.
I really appreciate hearing this. I get so indignant about injustice (e.g. not being able to choose what one's business standards are). Hearing Phillips' Christ-like response brought me peace. Thank you.
This topic is such a mine-field. I can easily understand why people are easily convinced that's it's "hate", because we've become, too many of us, very simplistic and shallow thinkers. Thank you, as usual, for having the courage to talk about these ultimate issues. Also, I love your tie. :-) XOXO
Amazing. No one has ever been forced to get a cake for whatever reason. If someone doesn’t make the cake you want go to another cake shop. We are all a “protected” class!
@@jaimemiller3909 The matter is far from settled. The Supreme Court ruled on things the commission said, not the legality of refusing a customer because of sexual orientation. It is still against the law to discriminate because of sexual orientation. So a case of this nature will eventually work itself up to the Supreme Court in the future and there will have to be a ruling on the discrimination part. That has not happened yet.
@@lorrilewis2178 it’s a cake Lori Lewis and we are still in America, the buyer is not greater then the seller. Go get your cake made from someone who embraces your lifestyle and leave those who don’t alone!!! Period point blank. Sheesh already 🙄
Becket, this is very good. It amazes me what the world is turning into: people are forced into their own shops to perform against their own beliefs for the sake of the culture. By the way, this is movie worth.
What a beautiful podcast, God bless this cake shop owner. I pray in Jesus Name that God keeps your bakery open and if I’m ever in Colorado I’m going to Your shop
What a humble gentle man. He was speaking truth in love not the other way around. He truly loves God and wants God to be glorified in the work of his hands. God's truth and love prevail. I bought his book. Praying for him✝️🙏💜💛
jack phillips just oozes the fruits of the spirit. his appearance on the view was one of the most loving patient interviews I have ever seen even though the women on the panel were out for blood he came across so favourably
Seems I remember reading that Mr. Phillips creates paintings on his cakes which is different than just baking and frosting a cake. I think if people knew that it would be more understandable why his conscience would be violated by creating a cake. His masterpiece is his painting on his cakes.
Sounds like what happened to him was an organized social/business hit. I praise God that He is getting great glory through this and that He has anointed this man to shepherd His people through Jack's experience of worshipping the God of the Bible, Jesus Christ, alone. Thanks Becket. You guys are all heros. Love and blessings in Jesus name!!
I’ve heard him interviewed before and he always struck me as a reasonable, loving man who lives out his convictions, but this makes him real and lovable. I plan to buy the book. Thank you.
God bless you brother Jack! This world needs more people like you and your family who will stand for Christ no matter what comes their way. Not only that, you fought with everything you had! Thank you so much for being this example for your fellow brothers and sister in Christ! Lord knows we really need it! ❣️🤗
Steadfast 1 Corinthians 15:58 Therefore, my beloved brethren, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that your labor is not in vain in the Lord.
Hi Beckett! This was one of the BEST videos I've watched on RU-vid in a long time! I was very engaged and captivated by this interview! Well done and so inspiring! Thank you for having Jack on your show. God bless!
I have discussed this with one of my students when I was a non-believer. Seeing this now that I am in Christ, I applaud this man for standing in the word and obeying God. I also pray that God would give me the same boldness and that He would give me grace to respond with love if I had the same encounter.
WOW! I believe this is the 4th thing l watched on your channel. Every time l think this video’s going to be too long but it NEVER is. Loved what Jack said, “EVERY DAY I ASK MYSELF WHO/ WHICH MASTER AM I GOING TO SERVE.” It’s a BEAUTIFUL daily reminder for us Christians. I want to THANK YOU BECKET for your channel & God bless you & keep you safe & healthy to continue to do His work. 🙏
Thank you for doing this interview. I have been following Jack Phillips story from the beginning. I look forward to reading his book. Romans 8:28 PS - I have enjoyed your channel and your book so much. Both have been a tremendous blessing!
Thank you Becket for bringing this video to us, and God Bless You Jack Phillips - God will richly reward both of you, I know you both know that, but what a wonderful thing when we “get it” that God is for us, loves us, rewards us for obeying, and we do it because we WANT to please God, not for the reward.....Very much enjoyed this video❤️
Thank you Becket and Jack Phillips! Jack, I live would love to come to purchase something from your cake shop one day and also hope to purchase your book soon. :)
Bless you, Becket for this interview with one of my modern day, heroes!!!! Jack Phillips is the modern day male Rosa Parks!!!!! I’ve watched, read and listened to his story, his testimony all the way to the Supreme Court. Becket you are doing good work, sir. God’s continued blessings on your life.
Wow thank you for sharing this story, I just ordered his book. A man of courage! Obeying God’s word is so important 🙏💖 I’m sorry for the pain this has caused you Jack, they could have easily just gone to a different shop 😞
Thank you for your program Beckett. I worked for a cake shop in Albuquerque about 25 years ago and they were making pornographic cakes for people; because I'm a Christian, I left after telling my employers the issue. Godspeed to you both & all believers holding the line 🙏!
Halloween is my favorite holiday. But I would not be offended if a bakery did not want to bake me a Halloween cake. I would just go to another bakery. It's not a big deal.
