Hi,

I’ve just seen a documentary film on your organization and I think that a lot of what you are doing is right and I’m sure that God is proud of you. I would like to ask you a question concerning Poland. Perhaps you don’t know, but almost 2 years ago the polish president, along with many other important polish politicians and persons in general, died in an airplane crash. I was wandering whether it had been a sign from God that he hates. Could you please explain this to me?

Thank you

Hello-

We do believe that God hates Poland; to find out why, see one of our websites here:  (http://www.godhatestheworld.com/poland/index.html).

But, on another point, any person with a knowledge of the Bible would tell you that when God causes someone to die in some violent way (with the exception of martyrdom), like in a plane crash, there’s a good chance that God hated that person or people.  And, the reason I say this is, that God doesn’t normally subject those humans He loves to painful and violent death.

And, furthermore, God holds governmental leaders highly responsible because they hold power over their fellow man, either to promote adherence to God’s commandments, or disobedience toward them.

Thanks,

Westboro Baptist Church

Hello my name is tom. I am 17 and I am gay I find it disgusting I wish there was something I could I feel ashamed by this I have prayed to god to help me I would do anything to become straight I would do anything and I beg you for your help I know mother is secretly disgusted please help me. tom Dear Tom,

Stop engaging in that act that your Creator calls abomination, that the God of eternity destroyed whole societies for, and that the Almighty determined was worthy of eternal Hell fire (Lev. 18:22, Genesis 19, Judges 19-21, Romans 1:18-32). Stop making excuses.

Just do it.

You want to know what the secret of life is? Ecclesiastes 12:13 lays it out for you: Ec 12:13 Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man. Just do it. Make it your life’s work. Put every resource (time, energy, money, skill, etc., etc.) into this effort. Unlike everything else you do in your life, this would be the one thing that is *not* vanity.

You want to know what the Lord Jesus Christ says in response to the nefarious “I Can’t Help It” argument? Matthew 18: “8 Wherefore if thy hand or thy foot offend thee [offend = causes you to sin], cut them off, and cast them from thee: it is better for thee to enter into life halt or maimed, rather than having two hands or two feet to be cast into everlasting fire. 9 And if thine eye offend thee, pluck it out, and cast it from thee: it is better for thee to enter into life with one eye, rather than having two eyes to be cast into hell fire.”

But there is one caveat, sir, that I must inform you of: the only way you will be able to sincerely repent of your sins and devote your entire measly existence to the sovereign God, is if He has elected you to salvation and has given you grace, a heart to know/love Him, and the blood and righteousness of our Savior, Christ Jesus. If the Lord hasn’t given you that, you have exactly no chance of being freed from your sinful state (Romans 9 & 11, Ephesians 2:1-10, Jeremiah 24:7, Titus 2:11-15).

It is a supremely desolate place to be in: a stranger from the covenant of promise and without God and without hope in this earth. But I can’t give you grace or fix the mess you are in. Only the Lord your God can. That’s all I can tell you.

Thanks for writing. On behalf of your friends at the Westboro Baptist Church

WBC-

I believe the teachings of Jesus Christ. Jesus taught us to love one another and not to judge, less you be judged. There is only one person in this world that has the right to judge us for the actions that we take in our lives, and that is the lord our father. What you are doing right now with Joe Paterno is judging a great man who has mentored so many kids into becoming successful young adults. What gives you the right to judge an innocent man? We are all sinners in God’s eyes. What sin is greater than the next. I pray that God shows mercy on your congregation for the actions that are about to be taken.
Signed,
Mike

Hi Mike -

Thanks for writing.  Be sure to see the other websites, focus on www.priestsrapeboys.com.

Let’s make this real simple and real quick:

You are a liar, liar, pants on fire when you say you believe the teachings of Jesus Christ.  Why do I say that?  You then go on to say what He “taught”.  Jesus Christ is alive and well, ruling and reigning this very day, hour, minute, second, moment.  You are delusional if you believe otherwise.  Jesus Christ took Joe Paterno and cast him into hell, yesterday, and Joe has eternity left on his sentence.  If you do not believe that right down to your very toe nails, then you do err – not knowing the gospel.

Luke 16:19 There was a certain rich man, which was clothed in purple and fine linen, and fared sumptuously every day20  And there was a certain beggar named Lazarus, which was laid at his gate, full of sores,21  And desiring to be fed with the crumbs which fell from the rich man’s table: moreover the dogs came and licked his sores.22  And it came to pass, that the beggar died, and was carried by the angels into Abraham’s bosom: the rich man also died, and was buried;23  And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom.24  And he cried and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame.25  But Abraham said, Son, remember that thou in thy lifetime receivedst thy good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things: but now he is comforted, and thou art tormented.26  And beside all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed: so that they which would pass from hence to you cannot; neither can they pass to us, that would come from thence.27  Then he said, I pray thee therefore, father, that thou wouldest send him to my father’s house:28  For I have five brethren; that he may testify unto them, lest they also come into this place of torment.29  Abraham saith unto him, They have Moses and the prophets; let them hear them.30  And he said, Nay, father Abraham: but if one went unto them from the dead, they will repent.31  And he said unto him, If they hear not Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded, though one rose from the dead.

Joe Paterno is that same rich man, and he wants you to listen to the prophets at Westboro Baptist Church.

Additionally, and finally, you cannot have it both ways, silly Mikey: you say Joe was innocent, but all have sinned.  Which is it?  I’ll tell you one thing for certain: Joe KNEW about the baby raping, and did NOTHING.  He had all of the media on speed dial.  He could have made one phone call and all the world would have been all ears.  He could have said: “These perverted bastards are raping this children who you bring here for some football fun.  Keep the kids away from these bastards, and I hereby resign my position and want nothing more to do with this huge stinking child prostitution ring.  Bye!”  Those police could have swept in and arrested the baby rapers.  He would have been a true hero, and not some make-believe icon.  End of story.

Joe didn’t do it, and is thereby as guilty as if he did the deed himself.

Now hush, go find a hole to hide in before the God who destroyed Joe knocks your block off!

First off, this is a critique on your video. The speaker should have been more passionate, the music could be less 1970′s, and the graphics could have been better.

Now that I got that off my chest, my question for you is “Would Jesus accept your actions?” In Matthew 5:11, it says that God will bless you when people mock you and persecute you and lie about you and say all sorts of evil things against you. That sounds like the LGBT community to me, since they’ve been mocked, persecuted, lied about, and evil things have been said against them, such as the connections to
pedophilia that people used to say back in the 50′s to 70′s.

In Matthew 5:44-47, Jesus preaches about loving your friends AND your enemies, for the Sun shines on both the just and unjust, and the rain falls on both the just and unjust.

Matthew 7:1-5 is the verse I believe you should keep to heart, and it will be the only one I shall right in full (in verbatim according to NLT):

‘Do not judge others, and you will not be judged. For you will be treated as you treat others. The standard you use in judging is the standard by which you will be judged. And why worry about a speck in your friend’s eye when you have a log in your own? How can you think of saying to your friend, “Let me help you get rid of that speck in your eye,” when you can’t see past the log in your own eye?  HYPOCRITE! First get rid of the log in your own eye; then you will see well enough to deal with the speck in your friend’s eye.’

Since you have felt the need to judge all of America as well as the world, we now have the right to judge you. “God hates fags” you say? We shall reply “God hates Westboro Baptist Church.” You say “Love thy
neighbor =rebuke?” We shall reply “Love thy enemy says the LORD, Jesus Christ.”

You may imagine Jesus to be your supporter, but should Jesus return once more, He will have nothing but shame for you and your members.

Remember Matthew 7:1-5.

Ms. Jarvis –

I’m a big fan of our multimedia (websites, videos, audio tracks, etc.). In the following reply to you, I direct you to many visual and auditory extravaganzas which do a wondrous job of answering your questions in full. I hope you were sincere in asking your questions, because oh, boy! we’ve got some answers for you!

First, your email is chuck full of judgments you passed on this church and it’s videos (how rude!). Then apparently seeing your own hypocrisy, you try to prop up the silly “you-do-it-so-I-can-do-it” argument. Good grief! If God says not to do a thing, don’t do it! But lucky for you, your exposition of “Judge not, that ye be not judged” is wrong. Here’s the right exposition, having compared scripture to scripture and not having a compunction to deal deceitfully with the Word of God: http://www.godhatesfags.com/faq.html#Judge

Second, yes. Not only does Jesus *accept* the preaching actions of this little church, but He directs them, being the vital and federal head of His church. I don’t know what you know about Westboro Baptist Church or what you are referring to when you say “your actions” – but maybe having a better understanding of who we are, what we do, and why we do it, might help you out: http://www.godhatesfags.com/faq.html#Who. Okay, so you’ve read that (if not, read it!) and you still wonder if what we do is ordained by our Lord God … well, read the Bible! Then check out this sermon from November 1, 1987, preached by our beloved pastor, Fred W. Phelps, juxtaposing the rare, true Gospel preachers with the innumerable number of religious charlatans and fraudulent false prophets that litter the landscape: audio — http://db.tt/shcFmHCv or transcript — http://bit.ly/vUiawa.

Third, God hates fags. The key to Matthew 5:11 is “for my sake.” IF you have dedicated your life to serving God, to following after and loving the Lord Jesus Christ (demonstrated by the fact that you keep His commandments, take up your cross daily, strive against sin, repent of your sin, depart from evil, and deny ungodliness and worldly lusts) and you are reviled/persecuted/maligned for THAT —- THEN you are counted among the “blessed.” Being obedient to God Almighty’s standard and repenting of your sins is *condition precedent* to being blessed. There’s no glory in suffering for your proud, presumptuous sins against God (1Co 4:11)! In fact, God promised that He WILL recompense your own evil way upon your own evil head (Eze 17:19); He promised to repay them that hate Him (your hatred is demonstrated by your refusal to OBEY His standard) to their face (De 7:10). You shouldn’t expect anything different. And let’s not be unclear: homosexuality is a vile sin worthy of death and eternal Hell fire (read a Compendium of Bible Truths about Sodomites, here: http://db.tt/ETYPpF9u).

Fourth, stop rejecting proper definitions of love, dude! You know we have Bible for saying that love = rebuke. It’s called Lev. 19:17-18, which is conveniently expounded in another short, pithy video that I know you’ll just love: http://twitvid.com/NPEXH. And we do indeed love everybody – enemies of the cross and friends of our Friend. And you know that’s true, because we’re using the resources the Lord has given to us to preach His Gospel to everyone we can, as fast as can, to wit: REPENT and OBEY or PERISH. It’s that simple. You can’t change God, Hilary. Rebuke your neighbors/brothers/friends/acquaintances/fellow countrymen/fellow world citizens when you see them individually sin or see that this generation is steeped in institutionalized sin …. or you demonstrate that you HATE them and that you HATE God.
