Proof The Bible Is True

“If they lose this case it will have a profound effect on Christian business owners throughout the country in terms of having to compromise their beliefs or face legal consequences.”  Admin

Daniel McArthur yesterday praised God for sustaining his family throughout Ashers Baking Company’s three-day trial.

It also emerged on Monday that the taxpayer-funded Equality Commission for Northern Ireland had increased its set-aside funds for the case to £40,000.

The Commission took the Christian-run bakery to court because it declined to produce a pro-gay marriage campaign cake.

Thankful

Ashers is being given legal support by The Christian Institute’s Legal Defence Fund, and last week thousands of people showed their backing for the family at an event in the Waterfront Hall in Belfast.

Speaking outside the Belfast court yesterday at the end of the three-day hearing, Daniel said: “We’re grateful that the case has now concluded. We’re very thankful for all those who have supported us.

“It’s been a stressful time for our family, but most of all we’re thankful that God has sustained us through it all and we now await the verdict and the outcome from the judge.”

Judge Isobel Brownlie will now consider the arguments before giving a ruling which is not expected for a number of weeks.
