WBC,
I finished watching your interview with Russell Brand for the third time. I would like to applaud you for your deep desire to adhere to the word of God. While watching your interview I noticed a few things that bothered me and would like to bring it to your attention. First, Exodus 20:7, the third of the ten commandments, “thou shall not take the Lord’s name in vain.” In the process of your interview the Lord’s name was taken in vain. Second, we as human beings and being under God and not part of the Holy trinity do not have the ability to condemn or sentence others made in God’s image to Hell. God is the one and only who has the ability to determine the eternal fate of someone and doing so I believe is blasphemy. I would like to applaud your resilience to homosexuality as I also believe it is sinful, however Christ Jesus ate with sinners and showed kindness, lovingness, and patience to the sinners, not hatred. I would hope you will take this into consideration and take a look at your beliefs and the way you are going about changing the world. Remember, God will either allow Tom Hanks or Madonna into heaven or will deny them entry, not members of the WBC. Any comments would be greatly appreciated.

Stephen –
Really, that’s what you took from that WBC’s BrandX Preaching session? You are stewpid!
That’s the primary reason that Fag marriage rules the land: lukewarm, nominal “Christians” like you, Stephen, who will not call a fag a fag because of the fear of being identified with the cause of God and truth in the earth. You take the Lord’s name in vain when you lie on him and say that “fags” are made in God’s Image. Adam was made in God’s image and his posterity; after his fall from grace, we’re made in Adam’s image. Not God’s. See, e.g., Genesis 2:16 ¶ “And the LORD God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat: 17 But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.” [More fully translated: “dying that shalt die.”] And, Genesis 5:3 “And Adam lived an hundred and thirty years, and begat a son in his own likeness, after his image; and called his name Seth.” You take the name of the Lord in vain when you denounce what WBC is supposed to do: Apply God’s revealed judgment on all matters pertaining to this life and proper human conversation; and, articulate what it means and what the certain results will be if God’s created humans disobey, persist that it is no sin, and die in that sin. See, e.g., “Heb 5:14 But strong meat belongeth to them that are of full age, even those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil.” Am 5:15: “Hate the evil, and love the good, and establish judgment in the gate: it may be that the LORD God of hosts will be gracious unto the remnant of Joseph.” See also Leviticus 11:47.
What WBC did on Russell Brand’s show was, Ps 119:62 “At midnight I will rise to give thanks unto thee because of thy righteous judgments.” And, by the way, it is taking the name of the Lord in vain to misapply his revealed word; furthermore it is bringing shame on yourself as that stupid, unstudied workman in 2 Timothy 2:15 “Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.” And hypocritical by your own standard: you spend most of your life’s energies as reflected in the words below judging us. [In reality, you know that you cavil at us about “judgment;” because you know there is a difference between, for example, the judgment of Hebrews 13:4 (Marriage is honourable in all, and the bed undefiled: but whoremongers and adulterers God will judge. (“Judge” there primarily means “send to hell,” which you know in this present, evil world we have not been delegated that responsibility)) and the Judgment of John 7:24 (“Judge not according to the appearance, but judge righteous judgment.” (To pronounce an opinion between right and wrong)); because we have rendered God’s judgment on these matters—as reflected in his revealed word. I.e., we tell them what the certain outcome will be if they do not repent)].
I suppose that you would slip right into a coma if you had to wrap your god-forsaken mind around these verses: Psalm 149:5 “Let the saints be joyful in glory: let them sing aloud upon their beds. 6 ¶ Let the high praises of God be in their mouth, and a twoedged sword in their hand; 7 To execute vengeance upon the heathen, and punishments upon the people; 8 To bind their kings with chains, and their nobles with fetters of iron; 9 To execute upon them the judgment written: this honour have all his saints. Praise ye the LORD.”
The weapon supplied to God’s servants is the sword of the Lord, which is the word of the Lord, which we are commanded to wield. See Ephesians 6:11-20. You propose that we leave it at home; no, no, that we bury it in the back yard, and write sniping e-mails to those who faithfully wield it to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and joint and marrow, and proclaim it as the discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart (Hebrews 4:12). Quick get Stephen some smelling salts for he swooneth at the report of the glorious battle where they are using that sword. I’ve given you but a drop in the bucket from the lessons of the Bible (cover to cover; duh why exactly did Cain kill Able as he wielded that sword of the word of the Lord?) about how we are to clearly proclaim the Lord’s standards and denounce those who betray them as betraying Him; and the most certain and eternal results of such villainy.
Worse than the Russell Brand perverts of the world are those who make a pretense at believing the Lord but wilt like a shrinking violent at the first sign of opposition behind the lie that we are not to pronounce the Lord’s judgments on famous sinners alive and breathing. And, it likewise belies a great hatred for your neighbor not to warn him. That lesson is as old as the moral law: Leviticus 19:17 “Thou shalt not hate thy brother in thine heart: thou shalt in any wise rebuke thy neighbour, and not suffer sin upon him. 18 Thou shalt not avenge, nor bear any grudge against the children of thy people, but thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself: I am the LORD.” 1Ti 5:20 “Them that sin rebuke before all, that others also may fear.” [What exactly will they be fearing but eternal hell, brother?] Pr 27:5 “Open rebuke is better than secret love.” [Which is no love at all in this context.] You are most cruel because you leave things fuzzy and warmish—NOT!—so that your neighbours are left wondering: “what the hell did he just say?” What the heck does this mean: “God will either allow Tom Hanks or Madonna into heaven or will deny them entry.” By what standard are they to judge such things; but by the dark brainless wonder of Stephen’s standards. Yikes! God save us from such folly.
