I fellowship at 1st Baptist Church of Council Grove. My Pastor has been teaching that Christ gave us a two commandments Matthew 22:37-40. I know as a believer you must feel the same way. Stop the message of hate and step into the message of God’s Love. That is where true freedom is.
Steve,
Responding to your foolish e-mail to Westboro Baptist Church, the only hating that has to be stopped is your hatred of the standards of God. God Hates Fags, pursuant to that eternal decree: Romans 9:13: “As it is written, Jacob have I loved, but Esau have I hated.” Psalm 5:5 “The foolish shall not stand in thy sight: thou hatest all workers of iniquity.” Mathew 7:23: “And then will I profess unto them, I never loved you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.”
And as to your pretended “freedom” – it’s a lie. Satan has doped you up into believing that fable. Here is the picture of you and your fellow 311 Million reprobates in america: 1 John 5:19 “And we know that the whole world lieth in wickedness.” Or more properly, lieth in the lap of the wicked one. Picture a kid playing with his GI Joes: he manipulates them and directs them to act out his fantasies. The joke’s on you and your father the devil: you’re going to hell for eternity. 2 Thessalonians 2:11: “And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie.” What cause? Because of your hatred of the truth that God is the absolute Sovereign and He gives saving faith and all graces necessary pursuant to His election of those whom He chooses, which is all of grace and none of works. The rest of mankind He pickles in their sin and sends them to hell for eternity; again pursuant to his wise design and selection. All of it grounded upon His eternal decree pursuant to His reasoning and His alone. 2 Timothy 2:19 “Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth sure, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are his. And, Let every one that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity.” 2 Peter 2:9 “The Lord knoweth how to deliver the godly out of temptations, and to reserve the unjust unto the day of judgment to be punished.” And, see the 1st chapter of Ephesians.
Freedom? How do we know when Steve is lying? When his lips are moving or his slimy fingers are skipping over his keyboard. Here’s your freedom: You use “your liberty for a cloke of maliciousness.” 1 Peter 2:6. Look up that word “maliciousness.” If it was a picture it would be the membership of First Baptist Church of Council Grove. Yikes for you.
Galatians 5:13 “For, brethren, ye have been called unto liberty; only use not liberty for an occasion to the flesh, but by love serve one another.” You serve yourselves and your own greedy guts.
2 Peter 2:19 “While they promise them liberty, they themselves are the servants of corruption: for of whom a man is overcome, of the same is he brought in bondage.”
God has graciously opened up that world of the law of liberty for us to live it and love it. James 1:25: “But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed.” The instruction starts in Leviticus 19:17-18, when our Lord Jesus Christ first expanded upon what it means to “love your neighbor.” 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.”
If you are not telling your neighbor that God Hates Fags and all the lesser included evils of that violation of the standard set in the Garden of Eden: One Man; One Woman; One Lifetime, then you hate your neighbor. And you do: just look at the divorced and remarried freaks at First Baptist Church of Council Grove. The same death penalty for fags was prescribed for adultery. Ephesians 5:32 “This is a great mystery: but I speak concerning Christ and the church.”
