Open Letter To Iowa Representative Bobby Kaufmann Who Desires To Arrest WBC For Exercising Our Religious Expression

As part of our ambassadorship WBC must bedraggle your filthy God-defying flag, because it is in our job description. Check it out, for example, in Deuteronomy 33:29: “Happy art thou, O [Westboro Baptist Church]: who is like unto thee, O people saved by the LORD, the shield of thy help, and who is the sword of thy excellency! and thine enemies shall be found liars unto thee; and thou shalt tread upon their high places.”

The God who created you has granted the Westboro Baptist Church members freedom of conscience which is inalienable, especially by the threatenings and workings of tyrants such as yourself. I refer you to the writings of John Leland, a Baptist preacher, who is credited in no small part for the adoption of the First Amendment, who wrote a paper called “The Freedom of Conscience, Inalienable.” And, I refer you to your hero and your archtype, Pharoah, for your temporal and eternal latter end, but for the God of all grace granting you repentance. (See the book of Exodus, which is in the Old Testament of the Bible, and Romans 9: 15-19: “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.” [Romans is in the New Testament of the Bible.]) The Lord has promised to turn this nation into hell, pursuant to such passages as Psalm 9:17: “The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all the nations that forget God.” And all the sword rattling and flag waving will not recover a single one of you rebels against God out of Hell. So, I respectfully suggest you stop with the threats and get over your bad self, ‘kay?

Bobby, we must all appear before that judgment seat of our Lord Jesus Christ “that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad.” 2 Corinthians 5:10. So, pursuant to our ambassadorship from the Lord Jesus Christ, the King of Eternity, we respectfully say to you: “Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ’s stead, be ye reconciled to God.” (2 Corinthians 5:20).

As part of that ambassadorship we must bedraggle your filthy God-defying flag, because it is in our job description. Check it out, for example, in Deuteronomy 33:29: “Happy art thou, O [Westboro Baptist Church]: who is like unto thee, O people saved by the LORD, the shield of thy help, and who is the sword of thy excellency! and thine enemies shall be found liars unto thee; and thou shalt tread upon their high places.”  Now you’ve built a really high hill of male bovine fecal material called the United States of America—with its foundation and framework called “We Hate God and His Judgments!” But the Lord of the Harvest has equipped us with the proper footwear, to wit: “Your feet [are] shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace” (Ephesians 6:15). And by the power of God your idols will take their proper position: trodden down as the “mire of the streets” (Micah 7:10). As a farm boy you know what I’m talking about when the Bible says “mire of the streets.”

The Lord has lent you some resources and power over human life, but it is for the express purpose to advance the cause of God and truth in the earth, not to expend upon your lusts and wrath. “For unto whomsoever much is given, of him shall be much required!” (Luke 12:48.) Today, fags and their enablers have taken over the nation while you either stood quiet as a church mouse or clapped as a blind seal. Either way you are equally guilty of hating your neighbor in violation of Leviticus 19:17-18 and the second greatest commandment to love your neighbor as yourself. A comparable and applicable Bible Woe is pronounced against you in Luke 11:52: “Woe unto you, [state legislatures]! for ye have taken away the key of knowledge: ye entered not in yourselves, and them that were entering in ye hindered.” When “Woe” is pronounced in the Bible it is roughly the equivalent of “You’re going to hell!” Take heart, there is the example of Paul, but don’t be presumptuous, you titmouse!

Kindest regards,

Jonathan B. Phelps, on behalf of your friends at Westboro Baptist Church
