Thank you for the Romans 14:23 verse. It's very encouraging. I work at a library in Hawaii, and recently got into a disagreement with my boss. She constantly buys books with graphic sexual content labeled as "children's books". (Think Kirk Cameron vs. American Library Association book situation) I told her that as a Christian, I cannot and will not check those books out to minors. She said that if I don't, I will be disciplined. But, I am happy to be persecuted for Jesus's name! Matthew 5:11-12

Many years ago I was in this situation with a supervisor. I explained to her that if I went to her wedding, when they asked if there is anyone present who thinks they should not be married, I would have to stand up and I didnāt want to do that to her. It was a very hard thing and our relationship was changed from that point forward. I praise God for my obedience in that situation.

Amen! Thank you, Pastor Everhard. It is the grandmother who is forgotten in this controversy. She, as you pointed out, is being instructed by Pastor Begg to violate her conscience. It is so, so sad that trusted men with decades of faithful, Biblical ministry are, now, compromising on such a fundamental issue as marriage. Thank you, again, for posting wise counsel. LORD bless!

I like what Matt said about the grandchild showing love and respect to the grandmother. The trans community has been conditioned or even brainwashed to expect everyone to conform to their demands on how to treat them. But it's a one way relationship. They have no compassion or understanding to someone who has traditional values. If the grandmother does not attend and the grandchild becomes angry and cuts off contact, then nothing is lost. It only brings out the truth of the lack of love the grandchild had for his grandmother. Learning this truth may hurt but it's better than living in a lie.

They have demonized and attempted to criminalize a baker who did not wish to contribute to a gay wedding. Yet he suggests to attend a party celebrating a sinful union and even bring gifts. Just no. No. If we say one thing then do another that is hypocrisy. It will not improve our image acting against our own (scriptural) teachings.

At approximately 15:51 you say that the grandmother should first follow her conscience. I would have said that in places where Scripture is clear we need to follow first regardless of what our conscience thinks (feels). When Scripture is not clear then conscience may play a bigger role. My friend's granddaughter is lesbian and invited him to her wedding. He declined and said that he decided based, not on what he thought, but on what God said and he had to obey God.

Thank you for this very balanced and biblical approach. I heard about this last weekend when my wife's 89 year old aunt e-mailed me confused and needed my opinion on why Alistair would take this approach.
We have been helping her out of a very liberal church ( Methodist) into a solid church teaching reformed doctrines. For the last 6 years she has had her eyes opened to great teaching and one of them is Alistair. Now he says something like this.
Come on Alistair this is shocking to me.
I understand and have listened to alot of Rosaria Butterfields story and she now says that even using someone's preferred pronouns is unhelpful and actually unloving.

Aside from the topic, Begg actually did two things that a pastor should never do. The grandmother's conscience was having trouble with his advice. As Martin Luther stated, one should not go against conscience. Instead of pointing the grandmother to thinking and processing through the issue and pondering on what God would want her to do, he instead told her what he thought and assumed what God would want for her to do. She became her conscience, which really pastors should not do. They really need to help anybody they are talking to better know exactly what God wants and back it up by Scriptures. Secondly, Begg projected on the grandmother what her grandson will think of her if she should not attend. That may or may not occur and she could still be supportive of her grandson even if she didn't go. Overall, Begg failed miserable in techniques that pastors should never use aside from the topic.

This hits home because my niece whom I'm more of a dad than an uncle had a same-sex ceremony and asked my wife and me to attend, I told her that I love her but there was no way I could attend because of our biblical convictions
