(Reported By Todd Starnes) Is a church a place of public accommodation and if so – are congregations required to follow anti-discrimination laws regarding gender and sexual orientation? That’s the issue raised by a brochure published by the Iowa Civil Rights Commission. They contend that any church that opens its doors to the public would be required to comply with sexual orientation and gender identity laws.
It’s unclear when the Commission’s brochure was published, but it clearly outlines their interpretation of the 2007 Iowa Civil Rights Act – known as Iowa Code Chapter 216. First Liberty Institute is representing Cornerstone World Outreach, a Sioux City church that fears it may be in violation of the statute. FULL REPORT

Interference by the govt. towards the church is forbidden in our national documents. They are not to infringe on the church, and that means they cannot tell the churches what to do. What part of “shall not be infringed” do they not understand. If they would be allowed to get away with this they will be allowed to get away with telling pastors what they can and cannot preach and before you know it they would be banning the Bible. Our forefathers saw what would be coming and set our founding documents in such a way that they cannot do these things.
The question regarding the brochure should read “…or sexual disorientation…” since there is no such thing as changing the sex that our Creator assigned us at conception. We can mangle the mind with pretense and the body with surgeries until the cows come home, but we cannot change what our sex IS. Only sick minds under the influence of Azazel, the devil, also known as Allah, false god of Islam can believe such perversion that they call themselves “transgender.” They will be sorely surprised when they come up in a resurrection with the same DNA with which they were born. The so-called sex change will be gone, as will all tattoos and other mangling of the body.
May there be more who will add to the numbers of those who have repented of this wickedness and accepted the Master Yahushua (Lord Jesus) as the Atonement for their sins and the Guarantor of life everlasting, omein.
Omein AND omein to Kathleen Redman’s comment! Government has long since overstepped their bounds by infringing upon the churches. Therefore the government will be shamed and brought down to defeat, especially when the kingdoms of this world, per Revelation 11:15, become the Kingdom of Yahuwah and of His Messiah! HalleluYAH and omein!
A hearty AMEN to your comments as well Shem!
If heaven is a happy place, as the bible states, I am certain a trans individual will get a body aligned with their desired gender.
