Westboro Baptist Church, aka "God Hates Fags"

About the Wesboro people.


There is a "church" in Topeka, Kansas that protests funerals. They've done the funerals of soliders, homosexuals, even the Sago Miners who died in an accident.

Here's an interview with them.


They state "God Hates Fags" and that "God Loves Everyone, the greatest lie ever told"


These people are so wrong for so many reasons. Let me list a few.

1. God doesn't hate fags. John 3:16 says "For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son.." Folks, this includes all sinners, including homosexuals. God hates sin. He hates mine, he hates the sin of the homosexual, he hates the sin of the adulter, the fornicator, the liar, and the thief. Romans 5:8 says, "but God Commedeth his love towards us that, while we were sinners, Christ died for us"
2. It is one thing to say "homosexuality is a sin" (It is, by the way, and that is not "hate speech" no matter how loudly the liberals scream it.) It's quite another to be mean, hateful, and spiteful and try to cause pain to those who lost someone they loved. There are only two commandments in the Bible. First, love God with all your heart, mind soul and spirit, and to love your neghbor as yoruself. The golden rule, so oft repeated, is "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you". I doubt that they would like someone causing them additional pain when saying goodbye to a loved one.
3. The Bible says to "Speak the truth in love". Telling a soldier's family that he's burning in Hell right now at his funeral is as far from love as I can fathom. Let's assume that they're right (although I doubt they do any research to see if the person whose funeral they're picketing was a Christian). Let's assume that the solider did died in his sins. Millions fall into hell every day. Why protest this one? What do they gain by causing even more suffering to the family? I doubt that they'd have anyone jump up and say, "Gee, I realize now that I need Christ because you're making a butt of yourselves!" What they gain is publication and notaritiy. I would never condone lying to family members about what the scripture says about salvation, but when someones heart is broken it is not Christ-like to ground glass into it. Speak the truth in love. There is no love there.
4. They say "The only lawful sexual connection is the marriage bed. All other sex activity is whoremongery and adultery, which will damn the soul forever in Hell" They are right about the only lawful sexuality. But they are wrong about damning the soul. Salvation is not by works but by Grace. God saves use because of what JESUS ALREADY DID. Any sin, not under the blood of Jesus Christ is enough to damn the soul to hell. That includes little white lies, or cold-blooded murder.
