Dear Westboro,
My name is Blake and I thank you for considering some of my questions for an academic assignment.
1) What is your state with the fight against the hacktivist, Anonymous?
Answer: It is not our fight, but God’s. In His time He will subdue His enemies. It is not within any man’s power to make or break God’s elect. God has been with us thus far; we do not doubt that if we obey and preach the truth from His Holy Word to this last generation we will continue to be blessed in our all our endeavors in His name. Revelation 22:7 Behold, I come quickly: blessed is he that keepeth the sayings of the prophecy of this book.
2) Why did you picket the Sandy Hook victim’s funerals?
We go to these funerals to preach to the living. The dead are dead and in Hell. That was an amazing event done at the hands of an angry God. We have an irresistible unction to tell you that! Our duty in these last of all days is to preach the word of God to every living soul on this earth. Mark 16:15 And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.
God sends us where He will and blesses us with huge doors of utterance whereby we warn you of your imminent destruction.
3) Why would you protest against homosexuals when you haven’t tried to understand them?
Oh, but we do understand them better than anyone else in the world. They are filthy beasts made to be taken and destroyed:
2 Peter 2:11 Whereas angels, which are greater in power and might, bring not railing accusation against them before the Lord. 12 But these, as natural brute beasts, made to be taken and destroyed, speak evil of the things that they understand not; and shall utterly perish in their own corruption; 13 And shall receive the reward of unrighteousness, as they that count it pleasure to riot in the day time. Spots they are and blemishes, sporting themselves with their own deceivings while they feast with you; 14 Having eyes full of adultery, and that cannot cease from sin; beguiling unstable souls: an heart they have exercised with covetous practices; cursed children.
They are unable to depart from their filthy sin and not return to it because God has given them up to it:
Romans 1:24 Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves: 25 Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen. 26 For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature: 27 And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet. 28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient.
This country has given itself over to every abominable thing, act and way they are able to think of. This little church is not going to be quiet about it. We are going to yell it from the rooftops.
4) What is your response to people on YouTube trolling your group when you are picketing (Ex: Brick Stone)?
Hello?! It’s called a door of utterance. We do not know if perhaps someday there may be some little lamb (one of God’s elect) that will wake up out of their slumber while watching a YouTube video, documentary or see our signs on these violent streets of the USA. Besides, every creature must be preached to before the Lord Jesus Christ returns in power and glory. It is amazing how many different tools the Lord God has given us to do that.
1Corinthians 16:9 For a great door and effectual is opened unto me, and there are many adversaries.
5) Do you believe that anyone who is not in your church is going to hell?
We do not own salvation. But we know that no one who will not confess the name of Jesus cannot repent from their sins and serve the only true and living God: Romans 10:9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
Also:
Acts 4:10 Be it known unto you all, and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom ye crucified, whom God raised from the dead, even by him doth this man stand here before you whole. 11 This is the stone which was set at nought of you builders, which is become the head of the corner. 12 Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.
Just because you consider Jesus Christ as nothing/nobody, does not mean we do. We will continue to preach this message of love for His elect and hatred, wrath and destruction for His enemies.
6) Where does it say that homosexuals are going to Hell in the Bible?
Romans 1:19 ¶ Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them. 20 For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse: 21 Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened. 22 Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools, 23 And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things. 24 Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves: 25 Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen. 26 For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature: 27 And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet. 28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient; 29 Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers, 30 Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, 31 Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful: 32 Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.
So it is not only homosexuals that will go to hell, but all those that approve, condone and encourage them in their filth.
7) What are your views on other religions?
They will take your soul to Hell. Believing on the Lord Jesus Christ and being baptized in His church are the ingredients to salvation.
Mark 16:16 He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned.
And not just any church — HIS church. You can tell it’s a church of the Lord Jesus Christ if the pastor is preaching “no fornication, no divorce and remarriage, fags are worthy of death, God hates fags, america is doomed,” and in this rebellious generation, “your doom is imminent.” If you’re not, then you are not a true church of The Lord Jesus Christ. No sloppy agape. No feel-good sermons. Jesus didn’t preach that way. Read the bible.
De 4:2 Ye shall not add unto the word which I command you, neither shall ye diminish ought from it, that ye may keep the commandments of the LORD your God which I command you.
8) Why do you assume that woman who are bi/lesbians are “sluts”?
2Ti 2:23 But foolish and unlearned questions avoid, knowing that they do gender strifes.
9) What are your opinions/G-d’s opinion on Transgendered (or Gender Variant) individuals?
2Ti 2:23 But foolish and unlearned questions avoid, knowing that they do gender strifes.
10) Why are you picketing against the U.S. Troops?
Soldiers fight for this country that has whole-heartedly given itself over to filthy whoremongers, idolaters and every perversion possible.
1Ti 19 Knowing this, that the law is not made for a righteous man, but for the lawless and disobedient, for the ungodly and for sinners, for unholy and profane, for murderers of fathers and murderers of mothers, for manslayers, 10 For whoremongers, for them that defile themselves with mankind, for menstealers, for liars, for perjured persons, and if there be any other thing that is contrary to sound doctrine.
Re 22:15 For without are dogs, and sorcerers, and whoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters, and whosoever loveth and maketh a lie.
Hebrews 13:4 Marriage is honourable in all, and the bed undefiled: but whoremongers and adulterers God will judge.
And this is the judgment they receive:
Re 21:8 But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.
11) Why are you picketing fallen soldier’s funerals?
The dead soldiers died because this country has whole-heartedly given itself over to filthy whoremongers, idolaters and every perversion imaginable. The dead soldiers died for fag marriage, but we are not picketing for the sake of the dead — but for the living’s sake. As long as there is still breath in a person and that God that created them has given them a heart to repent there is still room for repentance. See the above verses, also.
12) Opinions about Cosplay/Crossplay?
Deuteronomy 22:5 ¶ The woman shall not wear that which pertaineth unto a man, neither shall a man put on a woman’s garment: for all that do so are abomination unto the LORD thy God.
The ceremonial law was put away / done with when Christ came as a man upon this earth. Animal sacrifice and those things that were unclean are now clean. The moral law still stands.
Re 22:11 He that is unjust, let him be unjust still: and he which is filthy, let him be filthy still: and he that is righteous, let him be righteous still: and he that is holy, let him be holy still.
13) Why, in your opinion/views, do you think that people would consider your church a cult?
It’s very simple really: they hate God. They know we stand as the last ones remaining that insist the Bible standard is the only standard and that all men will be judged by that standard. All manner of vile things are said about us, which we consider blessings.
Matthew 5:11 Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake.
14) Why do you think that G-d hates America?
Tornadoes, storms (Sandy being the most recent hard-hitting), drought, 26 people murdered in cold blood by a young man that had NO moral compass. Soldiers are dying on foreign soil and here in the states. Economic crisis. Financial crisis. Get the picture? God blessed america in her youth but she would not hearken to The Lord God, so now all she gets is curses.
Deuteronomy 28:15 But it shall come to pass, if thou wilt not hearken unto the voice of the LORD thy God, to observe to do all his commandments and his statutes which I command thee this day; that all these curses shall come upon thee, and overtake thee:
Deuteronomy 28:45 Moreover all these curses shall come upon thee, and shall pursue thee, and overtake thee, till thou be destroyed; because thou hearkenedst not unto the voice of the LORD thy God, to keep his commandments and his statutes which he commanded thee.
15) If G-d hates homosexuals, then why did he create them?
Romans 9:14 ¶ What shall we say then? Is there unrighteousness with God? God forbid. 15 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. 16 So then it is not of him that willeth, nor of him that runneth, but of God that sheweth mercy. 17 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. 18 Therefore hath he mercy on whom he will have mercy, and whom he will he hardeneth. 19 Thou wilt say then unto me, Why doth he yet find fault? For who hath resisted his will? 20 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? 21 Hath not the potter power over the clay, of the same lump to make one vessel unto honour, and another unto dishonour? 22 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: 23 And that he might make known the riches of his glory on the vessels of mercy, which he had afore prepared unto glory, 24 Even us, whom he hath called, not of the Jews only, but also of the Gentiles?
