Dr. Bob, this is hitting close to home.

Any man who loves to torment Matthew Shepherd's family in ways like this is bound to suffer some chastisement from God himself.

Why do some Christians feel like they have to treat homosexuality differently from any other sin? Would we taunt other sinners in this way?

No wonder many unbelievers hate "Christians" so much.

All sin is repulsive in God's eyes. Man is attempting to make homosexuality an "accepted lifestyle." It is still sin, and God still hates it as much as when Leviticus was written.

In Christ,

That's pretty sick.

 

I hope they don't put up a monument listing all my sins when I die......... Very Hateful!

Now THAT'S a monument that needs to be removed!!

It's things like this why peole hate christianity, they think we are all like that. We are responsable for representing Jesus well, this is not it.
On the other hand, you are not allowed to put a members name in your topic title.

 

this is very poor representation and it doesn't resemble Christianity at all. those who use this type of witness to exposes a very serious eternal destiny are in error in a serious degree, they could of done the same with mother theresa as she was not a Christian either. it is one thing to mention that those who are not believing on the Lord Jesus will certainly be condemned as the scripture say, but it is not to be placed as a monument, i do not see this kind of thing even warning sinners but it could harm a faithful witness that comes to give the gospel.

 

What was it that Jesus said about not judging others?

Isnt it God who decides who is in Hell?

 

This kind of thing sorely tempts me to sin by setting up a website along the lines of "www.godhatesfredphelps.com". But of course that would be wrong...and untrue, as untrue as the statement "God hates fags"

Yours in Christ

Matt

 

Isn't that where they got the saying, Two wrongs don't make a right?

 

Is this a true story or a rumor. I haven't heard anything about it. And with all due respect, the picture looks pretty fake.

 

Artimaeus, you are of course right

USN2pulpit, I wouldn't put anything past Phelps...

Yours in Christ

Matt

And, yes - they are quite serious.

 

Fred Phelps will use any method to draw attention to himself. He is an apostle of hate, and feeds on the emotions he evokes in others. His church in Topeka is made up of his children and grandchildren. He and several of his children are dis-barred lawyers, and several others are practicing, and will bring lawsuits against anyone who opposes them.


This is an expose of Phelps:

http://www.10percent.org/exposephelps.html

"On June 29, 1994 Jon Michael Bell, a former reporter hired to investigate Fred Phelps and Westboro Baptist Church by Stauffer Communications, Inc.,filed a lawsuit in Shawnee County District Court in Topeka, Kansas against Stauffer Communications alleging the Topeka Capital-Journal owed him compensation for overtime and to clarify ownership of his notes and work product. The work product in question, "Addicted to Hate" chronicling the life and times of Fred Phelps, was attached to the lawsuit as Exhibit A making it, therefore, a public document. Learning of the suit, members of Topeka's anti-Phelps underground delivered a certified copy of the lawsuit to a copy shop near the courthouse.


Within 48 hours, Stauffer Communications had written all area media outlets and issued veiled warnings about using the information contained in "Addicted to Hate". A rival Topeka newspaper, the Metro News, announced it was considering publishing the lawsuit in it entirety. The Kansas City Star abided by Stauffer Communication's wishes, but several other media outlets aired or printed portions of the manuscript. Within 48 hours of the filing, Stauffer Communications persuaded a judge to seal the suit so the Clerk of the District Court could no longer make copies for the public. No matter - no such order was issued to the copy shop or to the hundreds of citizens that already had copies.


On July 8, 1994 the Capital-Journal, which had deep-sixed the Phelps project and fired the publisher who authorized it when it was completed last fall, suddenly began its watered-down, copyrighted series on Phelps that they had earlier claimed they wouldn't print. Bell also withdrew his suit the same day. By this time, however, TV networks, wire services, and eastern newspapers had obtained copies of the manuscript, and Stauffer's unprecedented attempt to suppress media discussion of the document attracted the interest of several major East Coast newspapers on First Amendment grounds.


Phelps, a self-proclaimed advocate of the First Amendment, whose 'free speech activities include libel, slander defamation of character, intimidation, obscene language, battery, promptly denounced Stauffer Communications and denied the allegations of child abuse, spouse abuse, and other illegal activities. Anyone familiar with Phelps and his children who remain loyal to him, however, can clearly see these adult children and his wife suffer from the grotesque and obvious behaviors symptomatic of severe, long-term abuse. Where and how the twisted saga of Fred Phelps will end is anyone's guess.

Here is an interview with Phelps. Funny - he says that he loves homosexuals. He also says that we shouldn't be praying for America.

I can't believe he has a congregation still.

 

Unfortunately in this instance, neither of the sides is presenting light. Phelps and his minions seem to me to be more on the side of darkness.

If one of our main roles as believers is to worship God, I have to wonder how showing such hatred to a group of people in the manner that Phelps is showing can even be construed by them as worship.
