- Do you feel there is there a nation or country that isn’t doomed?
No. There’s never been a nation that is not worthy of destruction by the hand of God and there never will be until the Kingdom of God is established. (See Mark 1:15; Luke 10:9; Luke 21:31; Mark 10:15; Luke 18:17, etc.)
- Do you feel that there are any circumstances in which divorce would be acceptable?
Here’s what the Bible says about that:
“The Pharisees also came unto him tempting him, and saying unto him, Is it lawful for a man to put away his wife for every cause? And he answered and said unto them, Have ye not read, that he which made them at the beginning made them male and female, And said, For this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife: and they twain shall be one flesh? Wherefore they are no more twain, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder.” (Matthew 19:3-6)
“It hath been said, Whosoever shall put away his wife, let him give her a writing of divorcement: But I say unto you, That whosoever shall put away his wife, saving for the cause of fornication, causeth her to commit adultery: and whosoever shall marry her that is divorced committeth adultery.” (Matthew 5:31-32)
See also: Romans 7:2; 1 Corinthian 7:10; Malachi 2:14-16; Luke 16:18
- Do you believe that Christianity was corrupt until the Protestant Reformation?
The Protestant Reformation was simply the breaking away from the choke hold that the Catholic church had at that hour. Your question really doesn’t make much sense and I’m not certain what you are asking. “Christianity” in and of itself is simply the following of the teachings of Christ, and therefore is not corrupt. But, what I know is that today’s “Christianity” you are referring to as well as the “Protestant Reformation” is what resulted from false religious systems, which were established by man as a result of a wholesale rejection of the word of God. Here’s what it is:
Romans 10:3: “For they being ignorant of God’s righteousness, and going about to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted themselves unto the righteousness of God.”
Simply put, the Catholic church is a false religious system and those that parted ways with the Catholic church during the Protestant Reformation established many other false religious systems. All of which were not established by God and have no light and are, using your word “corrupt” religious systems. There is no light or the knowledge of the word of God in them, and anyone who cares about their never dying soul must RUN from all of them.
- Aside from picketing do you have any other community enrichment programs?
There is nothing that we could do that is more important for the enrichment of the community, state, nation, world, than to deliver the unvarnished word of God. These words are life and health to the inhabitants of this wicked and perverse generation. That is why we do this good work. God has given us the privilege of being His mouthpiece in this earth at this hour. We have been given the commandment to go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature.
Mark 16:15: “And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.”
This job that we do is all encompassing and is the only hope that there is for this generation.
- If God hates our country why does he allow us to prosper?
Maybe you should look a little closer. This nation is not prospering. Unemployment is rampant; poverty is higher than it’s ever been in this country. The government has no money. God is destroying this land. God is dealing with this nation daily because of the sins of this nation. The national debt is higher than most people can count. The soldiers are dying – this country is not winning the wars they have engaged in and paying for this venture is bankrupting this nation. I could go on, but you get the drift. Daily adumbrations of God’s wrath pour out on this nation – hurricanes; tornados; tsunamis; shootings; failing economy; diseases; soldiers coming home in body bags. God is no longer blessing this nation. God is no longer keeping this nation.
“Except the Lord build the house, they labour in vain that build it: except the Lord keep the city, the watchman waketh but in vain.” Psalm 127:1
God is the number 1 enemy of this nation.
“And I myself will fight against you with an outstretched hand and with a strong arm, even in anger, and in fury and in great wrath.” Jeremiah 21:5
After reading all that answer if you are still of the opinion that this nation is prospering, I say to you this –
“Because sentence against an evil work is not executed speedily therefore the heart of the sons of men is fully set in them to do evil.” Ecclesiastes 8:11.
God pickles you in your sins. And this,
“What if God, willing to shew his wrath, and to make his power known, endured with much longsuffering the vessels of wrath fitted to destruction.” Romans 9:22
- Was there a point in time when God didn’t hate America?
This nation in its infancy was greatly blessed by God. That’s how this nation became a super power. Consider this:
Ezekial 16:4-14: “And as for thy nativity, in the day thou was born thy navel was not cut, neither wast thou washed in water to supple thee; thou wast not salted at all, nor swaddled at all. None eye pitied thee, to do any of these unto thee, to have compassion upon thee; but thou wast cast out in the open field, to the loathing of thy person, in the day that thou was born. And when I passed by thee, and saw thee polluted in thine own blood, I said unto thee when thou was in thy blood, Live; yea, I said unto thee when thou wast in thy blood, Live. I have caused thee to multiply as the bud of the field, and thou has increased and waxen great, and thou art come to excellent ornaments; thy breasts are fashioned, and thine hair is grown whereas thou was naked and bare. Now when I passed by thee, and I looked upon thee, behold, they time was the time of love; and I spread my skirt over thee, and covered thy nakedness: yea, I sware unto thee, and entered into a covenant with thee, saith the Lord, and thou becamest mine. Then washed I thee with water; yea, I thoroughly washed away thy blood from thee, and I anointed thee with oil. I clothed thee also with broidered work, and shod thee with badgers’ skin, and I girded thee about with fine linen, and I covered thee with silk. I decked thee also with ornaments, and I put bracelets upon thy hands, and a chain on thy neck. And I put a jewel on thy forehead, and earrings in thine ears, and a beautiful crown upon thine head. Thus wast thou decked with gold and silver; and thy raiment was of fine linen and silk, and broidered work; thou didst eat fine flour, and honey, and oil: and thou wast exceeding beautiful and thou didst prosper into a kingdom, And thy renown went forth among the heathen for thy beauty: for it was perfect through my comeliness, which I had put upon thee, saith the Lord God.”
But, then this nation forgot God and has rejected the commandments of God, and has played the harlot and trusted in their own strength and beauty as though it came from them and not God. So, now God has rejected this nation and has become the number one enemy of this nation.
- What would be the fundamentals of an ideal America?
This nation needs to follow the example of Ninevah as set out in Jonah Chapter 3 and cover themselves with sackcloth and sit in ashes and turn everyone from their evil way and repent and mourn for their sins. Further, from this day forward humble themselves under the mighty hand of God and live in line with the standard of God. In order to do that they cannot continue to let fags hold them hostage and need to reinstitute the death penalty for the fags. They need to put away their idols and serve the True and Living God, that God in whose hand their very breath resides and sit at the feet of Jesus and patiently wait upon God for wisdom and strength and knowledge and understanding. Then and only then would this nation have any hope of having the blessings of God upon them again.
- Which is a better translation “Thou shall not kill” or “Thou shall not murder”?
It is laid out in Exodus 20:13, Deuteronomy 5:17, Romans 13:9 and other places in the Bible that “Thou shalt not kill.” So it seems pretty simple that Thou shalt not kill is the “better translation.”
- Is heaven only meant for a select few or does everyone have the chance to be saved?
It is clear from the word of God from the beginning to the end that only a remnant of this doomed, damned race will be saved and will go to Heaven. There are scores of verses in the Bible that make this clear. Here are a few:
Isaiah 1:9: “Except the Lord of Hosts had left unto us a very small remnant, we should have been as Sodom, and we should have been like unto Gomorrah.”
Isaiah 10:21-22: “The remnant shall return, even the remnant of Jacob, unto the mighty God. For though thy people Israel be as the sand of the sea, yet a remnant of them shall return: the consumption decreed shall overflow with righteousness.” Heaven is reserved for God’s sheep. This exclusive group of people are referred to in the Bible as: Israel, Jacob, Sheep, Poor, Widow, Fatherless, for example. Everyone does not have a chance to be saved.
- How often does the Church acquire new members?
The short answer is: as often as the Lord has determined to call forth His sheep into the fold. We thank God for each and every one of them. We would be very concerned if there were a whole lot of acquiring “new members” going on. Because only a “very small remnant” will be saved. See answer to Q 9.
- How close do you think we are to Jesus returning to Earth?
No man knoweth the day and the hour that the Lord shall return.
“But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only. But as the days of Noe were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark., And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. Then shall two be in the field, the one shall be taken, and the other left. Two women shall be grinding at the mill; the one shall be taken, and the other left. Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come. But know this, that if the goodman of the house had known in what watch the thief would come, he would have watched, and would not have suffered his house to be broken up. Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh.” Matthew 24: 36-44.
But God has given His prophets eyes to see and ears to hear and the ability to discern the signs of the times. There are many signs that lead us to the conclusion that the destruction of this earth is imminent and that the coming of our Saviour draweth nigh.
- What is the demographic of your congregation?
The demographics of Westboro Baptist Church’s congregation are exactly as God has established it to be.
- Do you believe in Divine Providence or Free Will?
Divine providence. Absolute predestination. There is no free will. You can read the book written by Jerome Zanchias entitled “Absolute Predestination” which will help you tremendously on this issue. Also, Romans 9:6-33 puts this issue to rest:
“Not as though the word of God hath taken none effect. For they are not all Israel, which are of Israel: Neither, because they are the seed of Abraham, are they all children: but, In Isaac shall thy seed be called. That is, They which are the children of the flesh, these are not the children of God: but the children of the promise are counted for the seed. For this is the word of promise, At this time will I come, and Sara shall have a son. And not only this; but when Rebecca also had conceived by one, even by our father Isaac; (For the children being not yet born, neither having done any good or evil, that the purpose of God according to election might stand, not of works, but of him that calleth;) It was said unto her, The elder shall serve the younger. As it is written, Jacob have I loved, but Esau have I hated. What shall we say then? Is there unrighteousness with God? God forbid. For he saith to Moses, I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I will have compassion. So then it is not of him that willeth, nor of him that runneth, but of God that sheweth mercy. For the scripture saith unto Pharaoh, Even for this same purpose have I raised thee up, that I might shew my power in thee, and that my name might be declared throughout all the earth. Therefore hath he mercy on whom he will have mercy, and whom he will he hardeneth. Thou wilt say then unto me, Why doth he yet find fault? For who hath resisted his will? Nay but, O man, who art thou that repliest against God? Shall the thing formed say to him that formed it, Why hast thou made me thus? Hath not the potter power over the clay, of the same lump to make one vessel unto honour, and another unto dishonour? What if God, willing to shew his wrath, and to make his power known, endured with much longsuffering the vessels of wrath fitted to destruction: And that he might make known the riches of his glory on the vessels of mercy, which he had afore prepared unto glory, Even us, whom he hath called, not of the Jews only, but also of the Gentiles? As he saith also in Osee, I will call them my people, which were not my people; and her beloved, which was not beloved. And it shall come to pass, that in the place where it was said unto them, Ye are not my people; there shall they be called the children of the living God. Esaias also crieth concerning Israel, Though the number of the children of Israel be as the sand of the sea, a remnant shall be saved: For he will finish the work, and cut it short in righteousness: because a short work will the Lord make upon the earth. And as Esaias said before, Except the Lord of Sabaoth had left us a seed, we had been as Sodoma, and been made like unto Gomorrha. What shall we say then? That the Gentiles, which followed not after righteousness, have attained to righteousness, even the righteousness which is of faith. But Israel, which followed after the law of righteousness, hath not attained to the law of righteousness. Wherefore? Because they sought it not by faith, but as it were by the works of the law. For they stumbled at that stumblingstone; As it is written, Behold, I lay in Sion a stumblingstone and rock of offence: and whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed.”
Are all “happenings” in this world God’s doing or can some of them be attributed to Satan? It is all by the will of God; perfect righteous judgments. All of mankind has a duty to thank God for all of His judgments, whether they like them or not, for they are perfect and just in every way.
Psalm 94:7-11: “Yet they say, The LORD shall not see, neither shall the God of Jacob regard it. Understand, ye brutish among the people: and ye fools, when will ye be wise? He that planted the ear, shall he not hear? he that formed the eye, shall he not see? He that chastiseth the heathen, shall not he correct? he that teacheth man knowledge, shall not he know? The LORD knoweth the thoughts of man, that they are vanity.”
Amos 3:3-8: “Can two walk together, except they be agreed? Will a lion roar in the forest, when he hath no prey? will a young lion cry out of his den, if he have taken nothing? Can a bird fall in a snare upon the earth, where no gin is for him? shall one take up a snare from the earth, and have taken nothing at all? Shall a trumpet be blown in the city, and the people not be afraid? shall there be evil in a city, and the LORD hath not done it? Surely the Lord GOD will do nothing, but he revealeth his secret unto his servants the prophets. The lion hath roared, who will not fear? the Lord GOD hath spoken, who can but prophesy?” See Also, Job Chapters 38 through 41.
- How do you feel the media portrays the WBC?
It is irrelevant how the media portrays WBC. The only thing that matters is that they put the word of God in their writings, as our duty as the servants of God is to go into all the earth and preach the gospel to every creature. Mark 16:15. The media (a/k/a the fourth estate) is another avenue God has given to us for His word to go forth into all the earth. The media are a present day example of the unclean ravens such as God gave to Elijah as laid out at 1 Kings 17:1-6:
“And Elijah the Tishbite, who was of the inhabitants of Gilead, said unto Ahab, As the LORD God of Israel liveth, before whom I stand, there shall not be dew nor rain these years, but according to my word. And the word of the LORD came unto him, saying, Get thee hence, and turn thee eastward, and hide thyself by the brook Cherith, that is before Jordan. And it shall be, that thou shalt drink of the brook; and I have commanded the ravens to feed thee there. So he went and did according unto the word of the LORD: for he went and dwelt by the brook Cherith, that is before Jordan. And the ravens brought him bread and flesh in the morning, and bread and flesh in the evening; and he drank of the brook.”
If President Obama does not win re-election in 2012 will WBC still consider him the anti-christ? Yes. Being re-elected to the office of President is not necessary for his plan to be fulfilled. Being President of the United States is just one of the steps to get to his ultimate goal. His plan is to become king of the world and that’s what he’s working toward. His actions and his words cause us to believe he is the antichrist. See the following passages as examples of the description of the antichrist in the Bible:
Daniel 7:24-27: “And the ten horns out of this kingdom are ten kings that shall arise: and another shall rise after them; and he shall be diverse from the first, and he shall subdue three kings. “And he shall speak great words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws: and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time. “But the judgment shall sit, and they shall take away his dominion, to consume and to destroy it unto the end. And the kingdom and dominion, and the greatness of the kingdom under the whole heaven, shall be given to the people of the saints of the most High, whose kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and all dominions shall serve and obey him.”
Daniel 11:36-37: “And the king shall do according to his will; and he shall exalt himself, and magnify himself above every god, and shall speak marvellous things against the God of gods, and shall prosper till the indignation be accomplished: for that that is determined shall be done. Neither shall he regard the God of his fathers, nor the desire of women, nor regard any god: for he shall magnify himself above all.”
2 Thessalonians 2:3-12: “Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God. Remember ye not, that, when I was yet with you, I told you these things? And now ye know what withholdeth that he might be revealed in his time. For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way. And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming: Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.”
Revelation 13:1-9: “And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy. And the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion: and the dragon gave him his power, and his seat, and great authority. And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast. And they worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the beast: and they worshipped the beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast? who is able to make war with him? And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue forty and two months. And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven. And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations. And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world. If any man have an ear, let him hear.”
The Lord has opened the eyes of His people so that we are able to discern what is happening and we have been watching carefully what Obama has been doing all along the way, and we are satisfied that he is the antichrist. Our God is the Revealer of Secrets and he will do nothing that he doesn’t reveal unto His servants the prophets.
Amos 3:7: “Surely the Lord GOD will do nothing, but he revealeth his secret unto his servants the prophets.”
