Re: Westboro Bapt. Church (cult?)

No one has actually given a decent answer to the initial question from GLE.
All you have done is attack the poster rather than answer the question properly.
Probably becuase you dont have the answers and just ryhme off biblical verses because your scared.

Do you think that Westboro Bapt. Church is a cult? They are the ones that are going around saying God hates fags, and thank God dfor dead soldiers. The say God hates fags and that God hates the world. But the last time I checked, God loves the world, He sent is only Son to die for the world. What do you think?

No

They say God hates fags and that God hates the world

No, they are saying God hates fags and that God hates the USA.

But the last time I checked, God loves the world,

but not necessarily all those who are in it.

He sent is only Son to die for the world.

Not quite correct, Jesus came to offer a chance of Salvation to those who accepted Him – this, of course, is an offer, hemmed about with "ifs" and"buts" and does not mean “everyone” or “the world”

What do you think?

I think you could have answered this yourself if you had applied your brain.

F. Phelps is a sinner and he'll burn in hell along with his family and false so-called church! LBC is the life. Praise!

Luke 19:10
For the Son of Man came to seek and to save what was lost." i think this church is not of God, i hope you all find God some day. The TRUE God, not the false, hateful god. May God Bless You All.

I pray that you will actually read the Bible some day, beyond the two verses you know.

I pray that you will come to know God's True nature, so you can become a True Christian(tm).

I pray that you will join us in Heaven, praising and servicing Jesus without ceasing for all eternity!

I fear that you will not. You will likely continue worshipping at the idol you've created and call God; a monument to your own imagination and the feelgood lies you've been told by Mommy.

Westboro isn't a cult so much as it is a collection of inbred rednecks. Most of the members of that "church" share considerable DNA with the "pastor" Fred Phelps - the "congregation" consists mostly of his children and grandchildren.

DWJ, most grandchildren share considerable DNA with their grandparents. That comes from being related, you see.

What evidence have you of this inbredness in the Godly Phelps family?

I think you're just casting aspersions on that fine Christian gentleman and family.

Re: Westboro Bapt. Church (cult?)

I think probably GLE has gone back to his see-no-evil, read-no-scripture feelgood "church". But this bit --

"God did not send his Son into the world to condem it, but to save it"

-- registered a 6.0 on the Richter scale of Unrighteousness.

The Book of Revelation promises that Jesus shall return, and He SHALL condemn the world. In those days He shall cause men to be tormented so horribly that many will wish to die, but death will be denied them. Finally Jesus will oversee the descent of the unsaved to Hell, where they will be scorched by fires but unable to die; and the smoke of their burning shall ascend forever.

Since the Enlightenment or thereabouts there has been a cultural drive to turn God into a milquetoast consisting of pure love, forgiveness, and gooey caramel goodness. That is plainly contradicted by the Bible. But because cowards were afraid Christianity would die out if it did not change and conform to emerging egalitarian, inclusive ideas, the vengeful and fearsome true God was recast as a super-sweet pussy who loves everyone.

Jesus knew the Truth. He did not say God loves and forgives everyone, He said to FEAR GOD.

But I will forewarn you whom ye shall fear: Fear him, which after he hath killed hath power to cast into hell; yea, I say unto you, Fear him. Luke 12:5

God has the power to make mortal life a living Hell, and to kill, and after killing to condemn the soul to everlasting torment in the real Hell. Love God...love Him with the desperate love of a helpless prisoner for his omnipotent Jailkeeper.

Re: Westboro Bapt. Church (cult?)

So-called "Pastor" Phelps only runs his liberal, homer-infested church so he can molest little boys and get drunk on the blood of Christian babies. He's nothing but a Wickeran homer in disguise (and a poor disguise at that) and a typical false Christian. He's going to burn in Hell and give off just as pleasing an aroma to the Lord as any godless America-hating Muslimaniac.

Re: Westboro Bapt. Church (cult?)

What would you know about it, witch? Have you been stalking Pastor Phelps in addition to Pastor Deacon Fred now?

I haven't been stalking anyone, boy. It's common knowledge that Phelps' church is mainly his family.

Re: Westboro Bapt. Church (cult?)

I remember that in the Bible there was this one verse, but I forgot where to find it.

Am I therefore your enemy, because I tell you the truth?

I think it went something along the lines of that. I can't remember the whole verse word for word.

"Am I therefore become your enemy, because I tell you the truth?"
Galatians. 4:16

You really should consider purchasing a KJV1611 Bible if you want to Praise Jesus on His favorite forum.

Re: Westboro Bapt. Church (cult?)

it saddens me to see a so called Christian hateing someone, even if someone hates me and is my enemy I will still show them love in Christ. God did not send his Son into the world to condem it, but to save it. I thank Jesus Christ everyday for the gift of Salvation, even though no one deserves it. Thank God for his loving nature and his Son who can forgive anyone that comes to Him, and he still Love them that do not go to him. I will not put you down for what your belifes, but instead I will pray for you. May God Bless you.

Did you ever actually READ the Bible, GLE?

I live surrounded by hippies, but none of them are so naive about God's nature as you seem to be. Even THEY realize that He creates both good AND evil, and that He is a God of Peace and War.

Tell me, when you read Numbers 31, where God commanded Moses to commit genocide and slaughter the Midianites -- a tribe of Israel that decided to stop worshipping God and give Ba'al a shot instead, certainly not something that could cause God any physical harm -- was that love?

Was it love when He commanded that all the non-virgin females be killed, the pregnant women ripped up, and all the male children killed, and the virgin girls given to the soldiers to be raped and kept as concubines and slaves?

No, my dear GLE, God does NOT love EVERYBODY. God loves ONLY those who worship Him and obey His commandments . . . each and every one of them!
