Dear Mary Anne -
 
Thanks for writing.

Thanks for asking.

We don’t take donations!

Getting busy and on top of your duty to the Lord your God should be your first and only priority!  God doesn’t need your money - he owns that anyway, and he loans it to you to use in service to HIM!  If you had any Bible knowledge that would cause you to seek to serve him in truth, you would not have sent such an email as this to us.

1 Chronicles 29:10   Wherefore David blessed the LORD before all the congregation: and David said, Blessed be thou, LORD God of Israel our father, for ever and ever. 11  Thine, O LORD, is the greatness, and the power, and the glory, and the victory, and the majesty: for all that is in the heaven and in the earth is thine; thine is the kingdom, O LORD, and thou art exalted as head above all. 12  Both riches and honour come of thee, and thou reignest over all; and in thine hand is power and might; and in thine hand it is to make great, and to give strength unto all. 13  Now therefore, our God, we thank thee, and praise thy glorious name. 14  But who am I, and what is my people, that we should be able to offer so willingly after this sort? for all things come of thee, and of thine own have we given thee.

You should get a Bible and begin EVERY DAY to read in it - and also read every word on the www.godhatesfags.com; www.godhatesamerica.com; www.priestsrapeboys.com and www.americaisdoomed.com pages and watch the videos on www.signmovies.net page.

There is NO time to waste - the Lord is coming and your never-dying soul is at stake here!    :yes:

Thanks for writing.

It is very obvious that your church rejoices whenever a tragedy befalls a group of people and as i recall your father Phelps Sr. says that it is a sin NOT to rejoice when people die. But as I was reading the bible i ran into Proverbs 24:17 "Rejoice not when thine enemy falleth, and let not thine heart be glad when he stumbleth" ( Also - didnt God punish Edom because they rejoiced when Israel got destroyed or something??) This is a big contradiction to what preach and do. I wondering if you can clarify this.  Keep in mind i did not write this letter to taunt you. Im asking as respectfully as possible, because i know how defensive you can get!

Thanks for your time and stay safe out there.

Dear Dave –

Defensive is not the word – zealous for the Lord my God is better. 

No contradiction Dave – just some concepts that you have not gotten your arms around. 

Here it is – when your enemy falls (and if you are a servant of God, your enemy is in fact – God’s enemy!) – don’t sit there like a brute and say in your dark evil heart – ha ha – you got what you had coming to you – or any other petty little nonsense that is the character of this brutish generation.  That is a wholly different thing than saying this for example:

Thank God for dead soldiers!  This is a nation that will not obey the voice of the Lord their God – and they will not receive correction or instruction.  God has executed judgment upon them and it is righteous and perfect.

Thank God for dead soldiers because we are instructed to thank God for all things – all of his judgments, which by definition ARE in fact righteous – by definition they ARE righteous. 

Thank God for dead soldiers because we all deserve death and hell, but today, he did not kill us, he has given us time to repent, and to serve him in truth! 

Thank God for dead soldiers because by that righteous execution of judgment against this nation of rebels against their God (with NO cause) we, the servants of the Living and True God, his name is Faithful, I say – WE know that we are NOT believing a lie, that we are NOT being tricked – that when Romans 1:18 says – that the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against ALL ungodliness and unrighteousness of men who suppress the truth of God in unrighteousness, THAT IS IN FACT WHAT HAPPENS!! We see that wrath upon a nation that suppresses the truth of our God so that they can sin away the days and lie about what the Word of God says about that!!

Further – check this out:

Psalm 58:10  The righteous shall rejoice when he seeth the vengeance: he shall wash his feet in the blood of the wicked.
11  So that a man shall say, Verily there is a reward for the righteous: verily he is a God that judgeth in the earth.

As for God punishing Edom – EXACTLY – you are spot on about that fact!  However, you have again failed to get to the important part of that event.  Here it is – the people of God – that is, the Children of Israel – that symbol of the coming day when God would have HIS people – HIS elect (make no mistake – there were elect of God among the Children of Israel – but NOT all of Israel were the elect of God – they were the type of the elect of God) – they were the symbol of us – that was so that we would have that information to see – that evidence of the workings of God among and on behalf of his elect in the earth.  Remember – there were also elect of God that were NOT of the Children of Israel – but they became Jewish Proselytes (think Rahab and Ruth) and they believed God and they had saving faith and they were strong and they did exploits, and we have the record of those details.  I digress – getting back on point.  Here is what Edom did:

Eze 25:12  Thus saith the Lord GOD; Because that Edom hath dealt against the house of Judah by taking vengeance, and hath greatly offended, and revenged himself upon them;
13  Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; I will also stretch out mine hand upon Edom, and will cut off man and beast from it; and I will make it desolate from Teman; and they of Dedan shall fall by the sword.
14  And I will lay my vengeance upon Edom by the hand of my people Israel: and they shall do in Edom according to mine anger and according to my fury; and they shall know my vengeance, saith the Lord GOD.

Gill adds these details to that:  Ver. 12. Thus saith the Lord God, &c.] Concerning Seir or the Edomites, the prophecy concerning the Moabites being finished:

because that Edom hath dealt against the house of Judah by taking vengeance: or, "revenging a revenge" {w}; the Edomites bore an old grudge against the Jews, not only because their father Jacob had got the birthright and blessing from their father Esau; but because they were made tributaries to them in David’s time, and afterwards severely chastised by Amaziah; these things they laid up in their minds, and vowed revenge whenever they had an opportunity; and now one offered at the destruction of Jerusalem, which they took:

and hath greatly offended, and revenged himself upon them: not only by rejoicing at the destruction of the Jews, but by encouraging the Babylonians in it; assisting them therein, joining with them in plundering the city, and in cutting off those with the sword who endeavoured to make their escape; see #Ps 137:7 Ob 1:12-14.

Now – at the end of all this get this crystal clear – the Children of Israel were the chosen people of God in the earth – and even though they had disobeyed the commandments of the Lord their God and had turned from their faithful God to idols and to false Gods, nevertheless, the promises of God ran to them – even at such a time as God was executing judgment against them – and laying them waste – THAT was HIS business – NOT the business of those Edomites – so, since they stuck their big fat noses where they did NOT belong and lifted up their hands against the Lord’s people, they had judgment executed against them!  GOD is the one to decide who does or does not get judgment executed against them – THEN and ONLY THEN do his people properly rejoice over the excellent execution of HIS righteous judgment – it is NOT about us – and it had better not be a petty rejoicing in a vindictive manner!  This comes down to your heart, Dave – and WHO knows our hearts except our God who is the searcher of hearts and the trier of reins!  You can say some words, but the truth of the matter is known to our God!  Check this out:  Hebrews 4:12  For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.  13  Neither is there any creature that is not manifest in his sight: but all things are naked and opened unto the eyes of him with whom we have to do.

Further – to make this point just a little clearer, get this little bit of excellent goodness.  God used the Assyrians to execute judgment in 735 BC against the 10 northern tribes of Israel – and then – after he used them for that purpose, he kicked their asses because they did not give the glory of that execution of judgment to the Lord their God who had delivered the 10 tribes into their hands!!  Look at this most interesting language – you might like it!  You see – those arrogant pups thought that after they disposed of Israel – they would just mosey up to Judah and dispatch them as well!  BUT alas – that was NOT what the Lord God would do – he delivered the children of Judah at that time, and their final destruction did not come till 585 BC.

Isaiah 10:5   O Assyrian, the rod of mine anger, and the staff in their hand is mine indignation.
6  I will send him against an hypocritical nation, and against the people of my wrath will I give him a charge, to take the spoil, and to take the prey, and to tread them down like the mire of the streets.
7  Howbeit he meaneth not so, neither doth his heart think so; but it is in his heart to destroy and cut off nations not a few.
8  For he saith, Are not my princes altogether kings?
9  Is not Calno as Carchemish? is not Hamath as Arpad? is not Samaria as Damascus?
10  As my hand hath found the kingdoms of the idols, and whose graven images did excel them of Jerusalem and of Samaria;
11  Shall I not, as I have done unto Samaria and her idols, so do to Jerusalem and her idols?
12  Wherefore it shall come to pass, that when the Lord hath performed his whole work upon mount Zion and on Jerusalem, I will punish the fruit of the stout heart of the king of Assyria, and the glory of his high looks.
13  For he saith, By the strength of my hand I have done it, and by my wisdom; for I am prudent: and I have removed the bounds of the people, and have robbed their treasures, and I have put down the inhabitants like a valiant man:
14  And my hand hath found as a nest the riches of the people: and as one gathereth eggs that are left, have I gathered all the earth; and there was none that moved the wing, or opened the mouth, or peeped.
15  Shall the axe boast itself against him that heweth therewith? or shall the saw magnify itself against him that shaketh it? as if the rod should shake itself against them that lift it up, or as if the staff should lift up itself, as if it were no wood.
16  Therefore shall the Lord, the Lord of hosts, send among his fat ones leanness; and under his glory he shall kindle a burning like the burning of a fire.
17  And the light of Israel shall be for a fire, and his Holy One for a flame: and it shall burn and devour his thorns and his briers in one day;
18  And shall consume the glory of his forest, and of his fruitful field, both soul and body: and they shall be as when a standardbearer fainteth.
19  And the rest of the trees of his forest shall be few, that a child may write them.

NOW – do you get that moose? 

Oh and one more thing – since this is going to be a blog – I removed your inappropriate comment about our young ladies, and I will suggest that you keep your filthy eyes off of our fries – or – to put that another way – keep your perverse eyes on your own fries!!

Thanks for writing.

Your friend,
