It just needs to be embraced.

The Bible says, in 1 Cor 5, 2 Tim 3 and elsewhere, not to associate with them at all. It says to have nothing to do with them. And logically, if you know you are serving such individuals, then they must have conveyed the fact that they are sexually immoral enough such that you would know. Therefore, to serve them at all is to engage in speech – to approve of that message and information about themselves that they have conveyed.

The fact is the exercise of freedom of association would never have been questioned in the case of abominable sin, had it not been for segregation based on skin color, contrary to scripture, along with psuedo-science which considers abominable sin equivalent to ethnicity. Which is, in essence, the imposition and establishment of religion. No one can argue that some sorts of segregation/separation are good and necessary. If you separate yourself from a bunch of drug addicts steering you down the wrong path, that’s a good thing. Separating from criminals and evildoers is a good thing. But now we have the government trying to tell us what is evil and what is not, in a manner that is contrary to God’s word – even when a case is “won” on the basis of “free speech”.

Until Christians are allowed to honor scripture by not associating or dealing with them at all, at any time, in any place, in any capacity, no ruling can rightfully be considered a “win”, nor will the matter be truly settled.
