The definition of a Church is a place of worship, esp. Christian worship, the definition of LOVE is a strong affection or liking of someone. So far the Westboro Baptist Church does not qualify.
However, the definition of FRAUD is "Deceit; trickery, law intentional deception or IMPOSTOR!
Now there is a quality they can live with.
My guess is that these people grew up in an abusive, unloving, non-christian environment and not knowing any better, they created thier own religion certainly NOT worshipping our GOD. Fortunately for them, our GOD still loves them as he does gays.
I am not gay nor do I condone gayness but do I hate them? Absolutely NOT. I choose to channel my hatred towards people who deserve it like murderers, people who hurt or abuse children and well...Westboro Baptist Church!
My heart goes out to the families of those killed in battle, in mines, and the bridge collapse in Minnesota. I pray that the miners are found safe, that all our boys are brought home from overseas alive and well and that the families of those killed in the Minnesota bridge collapse can get through thier sorrow and pain.
But I will continue to pray for two more miracles...that non of these people have to deal with the people of this Westboro, Hate-filled, Godless, congregation and that all of westboros children turn out to be gay!
This is the same group that protests the LDS church's Bi-Annual conferences (Mormons are not Christian protest), and the Annual Gay Pride event (God Hates Fags). I've stood and listened to them at these events, and feel they are preparing for the day they will judge all before them. Wait isn't that God's job?
We learn from the God like leader Jerry Falwell that this type of thing works to get attention and MONEY sent to them for their ministries.
Falwell spoke of gods wrath of Gays and non-Christians as causing 9-11 attacks, Hurricane's in Florida and New Orleans. This got him tons of air time on national news shows so why not take what a true right Christian taught.
This is business and advertising, nothing more, a way to make a buck and there will be people that see it that will send money to them. Accomplishing their desired goal.
Believe it. this same group sent messages to officials in Pocatello a few months back. Only thing was they never showed up to the solders funeral here.
This whole idea is sick and wrong, and is effective for promoting Christianity as much as destroying the twin towers was effective for promoting the Muslim agenda.
I also love Jesus Christ, and the gospel of God, I also believe that there are many things that we do not understand here on this earth, but will some day understand if we live as Jesus has taught us to live by...loveing one another, and by reaching out to our enimies, and showing them the great Eternal love of God through the teaching of Gods Gospel and his undying love for us all as his children and the brothers, and sisters of his son Jesus christ, whom died on the cross for our sins so we can return to live in the kingdom of God.
We were also told by Jesus christ that this life would not be easy, but if we live as we are taught by Jesus, and the Gospel in this life it will be worth it. We were also told we would not be given more that we can bare, but to bare withit until the end with great love and faith.
I also believe that those with out sin should cast the first stone. Well I know I have no right to cast the first stone.
So I will pray for anyone whom is affliced with sorrow, and hatred in this world to have a softening of the heart, and for my loving God and Jesus Christ to have mercy upon their souls, for whooooooooo be unto them. "let ye not be judgemental of others lest ye be judged like wise. Lets learn more tolerance of others, and offer our love, our prayers, and our fraith to bring our miners home, and our military troops to come home to us also.
As for the people whom think this is because of us all being wicked, Well I'm glad my god is a True, and Just God, and not like the so called god that you worship. That is not what love is...nor is hatred in the plan of God our father, and his son Jesus Christ. So we need to pray for the sinners whom can't see the true light, and love of God, and the plan he has for us.
Let us pray to soften their hearts, and pray for our World to beomce more tollerant of one another.
Amen
Yes I am a Mormon (Christian) from Utah.
A wrong is a wrong no matter who says it.
"God rewards fags with successful Shuttle launch"?
No? I didn't think so.
How can they call themselves Christians?
A Few of the many items you will read: several of Phelps' estranged children have publicly stated they were severely and frequently abused; the details of Phelps' disbarment by the Kansas Supreme Court and the Federal Courts for repeatedly violating ethical standards; the details of Phelps' electronic vendetta against public officials he disliked; the details of successful lawsuits for large, unpaid debts. One candy vendor was owed more than $5,000. The report further states the Phelps children were made to sell the candy door-to-door until late into the evening and in bad weather. There was so much pressure put on the children to bring in money, some of them began stealing.
ADDICTED TO HATE details Phelps' alleged drug abuse and nearly fatal overdose. It also tells the pitiful story of 17 year-old Debbie Valgos, who made the terrible mistake of falling in love with Fred Phelps, Jr. When news of her death reached Fred, Sr., he danced with joy, shouting, "The whore is dead, the whore is dead."
Even though these exposes have been on the internet for years, Phelps has never sued for libel.
v7 Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God.
v8 He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love.
Need we say more?
you are hatefull and judgemental and desire to take away our own free agency that god has given us.
your plan sounds alot like satans, and one day he will thank you for all of your work as his puppet.
now please go drink the Kool-aid and go and see for yourself how it is you havent contributed, but then again maybe you wont have to if you show up in utah.
the promotion of your hate hurts innocent good people on a personal level in a rural area that has nothing to do with the acceptance of "fags" into mainstream society.
utah is exceptionally conservative and in the faith of the majority here DOES NOT condone homosexuality, so dont you look silly.
