True or false: Churches or clergy can forced to marry couples as long as they have a marriage license?

Since I hear so many people claiming that churches ';shouldn't be forced to marry gay people against their will.';True or false: Churches or clergy can forced to marry couples as long as they have a marriage license?
Entirely false. Some denominations will not marry individuals who have been previously divorced.





The government can't force churches to marry anyone they don't want to because of the long-held doctrine of separation between church and state.True or false: Churches or clergy can forced to marry couples as long as they have a marriage license?
Nope. They can deny a religious marriage to whomever they feel is not ';up to their standards.';





A license means nothing to them.
That is so false. A chuch can decide not to marry a couple for many reasons, or have people go through many rules and regulations before they can get married. This is something the Coalation to save Marriage did not mention when Oregon voted on whether to allow gay marriage. To be more correct they said that churches would be forced to marry gays.
No. Churches, Synagogues nor Mosques can be Forced to perform a religious ceremony when it conflicts with their beliefs and or Doctrine or Dogma.





None of them that remain faithful to doctrine are obligated to marry even straight couples if the Pastor feels in it wrong. (child marriages, mentally physically handicapped, possible pre-marital abuse, previously married.) They do not have to administer any sacrament that is considered Holy before God. Marriage is a sacrament and a Covenant between God and the couple.
No clergyman or woman in the United States can be forced to perform a wedding ceremony for anyone. I wouldn't worry about it though; there are clergy who are willing to perform weddings for gay couples - all y'gotta do is find those pastors.
False.
False some churchs require you to be a member
False. A Church can refuse to marry people for any number of reasons.
False a church and a clergy man do not have to marry anyone. they can be sleective. Many churches will not marry a couple unless the couple comes for 2-3 counseling sessions so the clergy can be sure they are marrying for the right reason.
FALSE a church can set it's own guidelines for who it marries.
False. It is entirely up to the church who they will or will not marry.
I think it varies between denominations, but I would say ';no';.





However, this is one of the concerns of churches that would not recognize gay marriage for religious reasons. If gay marriage becomes legal, and a church refuses to perform the ceremony, can it be sued for discrimination?
A marriage is a covenant. Man and Woman are the dominant


couple; they marry in the presence of God,after that they


may record it in the family Bible under MARRIAGES.





Couples can not be forced to marry.


Churches, clergy, have no authority to force anybody to do anything.





Any couple who goes to city hall and asks for a license


to marry doesn't understand their rights for one.


When fools rush in to city hall and INVITE THE STATE INTO THEIR MARRIAGE, it is now a three party general partnership... Husband,wife,the state...OH MY!





This also means that when husband and wife wish to end a marriage they get to be bossed around by their silent partner


WHOM THEY INVITED ALONG.


The benefits are loss of money, children, assets, all divided by the state, isn't this just special?





DO NOT GO TO THE STATE FOR IT'S BLESSINGS


THE STATE DOES NOT HAND OUT BLESSINGS





THEY HAND OUT GRIEF AND DECEPTION


IS ANYONE PAYING ATTENTION?
