Baker from Supreme Court case: Jesus wouldn't have made wedding cake for gay couple

In a June 29 appearance on "The View," Jack Phillips, the Colorado baker who refused to make a wedding cake for an engaged gay couple, defended his decision by stating that he does not believe that Jesus would have made the cake.

When asked by co-host Paul Faris whether or not he ever asked himself "what would Jesus do," Phillips stated that he does not believe that Jesus would have made the cake.

"I don't believe that Jesus would have made a cake if he would have been a baker," Phillips said. "That would have contradicted the rest of the biblical teachings."

Co-host Joy Behar then exclaimed: "Jesus would've made the cake!"

Phillips' lawyer Kristen Waggoner, who was also present, stated: "Jesus wouldn't contradict his teachings."

Waggoner then told Behar that the same laws that could force Phillips to make the wedding cake might force Behar to write a speech in support of the GOP health bill or President Trump.

The full exchange starts at the 4-minute mark.

The Colorado Civil Rights Commission claimed that Phillips' refusal to make a wedding cake for David Mullins and Charlie Craig was a form of "illegal discrimination," for a "public accommodation."

The Supreme Court recently announced that it will hear the case.

Phillips' supporters believe that the court's decision could have massive implications for the First Amendment and the definition of religious liberty.
