You Say Westboro Baptist Church Only Has 70 Members by Andrew Bushard

[wakincloud]

westboro can go fuck themselves----so can jerry falwell maybe they can fuck each other

[cdeeznuts2]

Are you morbidly obese? Most importantly take your head out of your ass. You sound like an anal retentive idiot. You miss the point completely. No one wants to join them or cares about how many there are. People want them to disappear with their hate. Obviously you want to bang the Phelps girls since you mentioned that they're attractive. Their hate makes them ugly.

[imaliar123]

your voice is fucking annoying

you sounds stupid fred phelps is a cult leader he's not logical.

[yourself483]

you think so  fags there is a lot more than that you fags just think so

[ElectricMayhem87]

I have a question. It's not a criticism of what you do in these videos, but it's something that crossed my mind last night. WBC themselves, all things considered, are relatively harmless, even if people do find them annoying. But what happens if their words inspire someone who believes them (I know those people exist) to commit an act of violence against a gay man, lesbian, transperson, bisexual, non-Christian, foreigner, or a group of any of the above because they think it's what "God" wants?

[TheHello1967]

westboro baptist church is a true church

[zuluis007]

you're a logical fag

[bartisahunk]

Would Jesus Christ REALLY be okay with His Followers ignoring His Words?

"Love one another as I have first loved you", "But I say to you LOVE your enemy"; "Love your neighbor as YOURSELF";

And don't forget that Jesus Christ sat and eat with sinners in the house of Matthew -- who was a tax collector, in those days tax collectors were considered to be very low and evil people. Since this is our example, why is there any debate as to how Christ's Followers are to treat others?

[capernaum83]

@ barista - Jesus ment business and he was no old man when he died. He knew His time was short. He would leave 999 already found sheep to go find 1 lost sheep. Jesus wasn't hanging out with these people, He was preaching to them. This is why the pharisees hated Him and its what led to His arrest and crusifixion.

[bartisahunk]

Heartless -- I don't know about you, but I am sure that in the eyes of God it is extremely heartless of anyone to "protest" at the funeral of another human being,

Would you be okay with members of the WBC showing up at the funeral of one of your family members or a friend of yours; with their signs, songs, and insults?

Or would you still defend there actions as "preaching the word of God"? Please, I am pleading with you to see this FROM THE OTHER SIDE.

[bartisahunk]

So, looking at the list of things mentioned in Romans 1, we can clearly see that the members of the WBC are following some of those 'evil ways'.

They Gossip -- that means they spread false rumors and claims about people -- How you ask? Well for example when they say that because a person is in the military and dies -- that he or she is "now in hell".

They slander -- there is enough evidence of this by way of the videos about them

[bartisahunk]

And the point is that they Began Worshiping Idols, in the same manner as their ROMAN NEIGHBORS. I am sure that by now you have learned about some of that history in school.

It also mentions people who are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, malice, gossips, slanderers, God-haters, insolent, arrogant, boastful, invent ways of doing evil; they disobey their parents; they are senseless, faithless, heartless, ruthless. And know God's decrees but continue to do all the above things.

[sleepingwolf]

watch my Idiots with Bibles video then you see why i dislike them so much

[sleepingwolf]

they are not showing any COMPASSION OR MERCY to people just love ones . that is pissing me .

[bartisahunk]

Finally, Please Remember that Paul was in Rome, this was addressed to people in ROME. A place where EVERY religious thought was accepted by the general public. Including SAME-SEX and ANIMAL WORSHIP RITUALS

We MUST keep the Bible in CONTEXT of the TIME, PLACE, and ENTIRE CHAPTER.

[KrYp7on1t3]

you kick ass man

[bartisahunk]

It goes on in Romans 1:24-25 to say:

Therefore God gave them over in the sinful desires of their hearts to sexual impurity for the degrading of their bodies with one another. They exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and 'Worshiped and Served Created Things Instead Of The Creator' —who is forever praised. Amen.

[bartisahunk]

That's right begin with verse 26 and ignore that fact that this is taking about IDOL WORSHIP, in which worshipers would use sex as part of their ceremonies.

Romans 1: 22-23

Although they claimed to be wise, they became fools and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images made to look like mortal man and birds and animals and reptiles.

[bartisahunk]

HOMOSEXUAL as a word DID NOT EXIST UNTIL 1892, therefore we CAN'T say it is in the BIBLE that is a LIE.

If you keep going down this path, I will have no choice but to ask the following embarrasing question:

Why did God tell Moses to tell the people "men having sex with men is wrong" but DID NOT SAY ANYTHING ABOUT "women having sex with women"?

Are you now going to say that God condones lesbians but not gay men? There is nothing mentioned in Leviticus about "women having sex with women"

[bartisahunk]

You are making an assumption about Noah that is NOT written in the Bible. IF he did preach we would have been told so.

If you are going to point to Leviticus chapter 18 as evidence against "homosexuality", you better have read the ENTIRE CHAPTER which is telling the Israelite people to not follow the manner in which Canaanities and Egyptians WORSHIP IDOLS.

The word "homosexual" did NOT exist in ANY LANGUAGE until 1892

[sleepingwolf]

it's people like Westboro Baptist Church the drive people away from learning about god

[DavidLynch007]

If someone TRULY has a heart to know God, the Westboro's are not going to get in the way of that process.

[bartisahunk]

You give the WBC way too much power. Why would anyone want to get to know God when all they are hearing is . . .

God hates you

God hates America

God hates Israel

God hates fags

God hates fag enablers

Hate, hate, hate (on and on)

Can you imagine what would have happened if JESUS CHRIST showed nothing but hate to people?

Do you think He gave His life [ shed his blood ] because HE HATES people?

[bartisahunk]

There are at least six passages that speak about compassion that Jesus Christ had for people, he would stop whatever he was doing to help someone.

Even while he was on the cross he said to God the Father: "forgive them for they know not what they do".

Hate and flithy words will and do turn people away from God's saving grace.

[DavidLynch007]

Blasphemy! How dare you say that a MAN'S WORDS have the power to override the grace of God?! You do GREATLY err with your words!

[bartisahunk]

James 3

With the tongue we praise our Lord and Father, and with it we curse men, who have been made in God's likeness. 10Out of the same mouth come praise and cursing. My brothers, this should not be.

17But the wisdom that comes from heaven is first of all pure; then peace-loving, considerate, submissive, full of mercy and good fruit, impartial and sincere. 18Peacemakers who sow in peace raise a harvest of righteousness.

[RockyBalboa211]

They westboro baptists are contradictions

[DavidLynch007]

Where did they make a contradiction?

[KrYp7on1t3]

they use leviticus as evidence from the bible to condemn homosexuality, when only verses away from leviticus 20:13 it says that anyone who curses his parent shall be put to death.

leviticus also states that:

a woman may not have sex during her period.

men cannot shave certain facial hair.

any type of pork is unclean to eat.

you may not sow your field with two kinds of seed.

you may not wear clothing woven from two different kinds of fabric.

eating shellfish is an abomination.

[DavidLynch007]

Wow, original argument.  Try reading the book of Acts, which makes the whole thing make sense.

Jesus fulfilled the Ceremonial Law. The Moral Law still stands.

[KrYp7on1t3]

ah, that is another good point. however, the fact of the matter is that a word directly referring to "homosexuality" did not exist in bible times.

according to many scholars (including a rabbi who is fluent in hebrew and has reviewed ancient bible manuscripts), the word often mistakenly translated as "homosexuals" actually means, literally, "a male who participates in ritual sex inside a pagan temple with another male".

[capernaum83]

@ kRyPoniL3 Romans 1 the second half, especially 26-27.

[KrYp7on1t3]

yes. that is a mistranslation.

[DavidLynch007]

Very good very good...

Here are some other reasons why it's not far-fetched that it's "just one family".

When the great flood came, it was Noah and his ONE FAMILY that was saved.

When God destroyed Somom, it was Lot and his ONE FAMILY that was saved.

[Frelsun1234]

Thank you for the compliment on the video.

[sleepingwolf]

this family is nothing like noah or the family from somom , this people are a pack of bible nazis

[DavidLynch007]

Their message is the same message Noah had. Nobody listened to Noah, and they hated him.

Hebrews 11:7 By faith Noah, being warned of God of things not seen as yet, moved with fear, prepared an ark to the saving of his house; by the which he condemned the world, and became heir of the righteousness which is by faith.

There you have it, Noah CONDEMNED the world through his faith and his preaching!

[sleepingwolf]

no so do not pass go do not collect 200 dollars , westboro baptist church not like noah more like the people the started the salem witch trials

[DavidLynch007]

Noah's message was exactly the same. Repent or perish! Now, you either meet that challenge by going and reading, and you'll see that what I'm saying is exactly right, or ignore it and move on with your life.

[sleepingwolf]

i'm not going to play your game , i know the differences between noah and this self-righteous bible thuming hitler.

oh and check your history

westboro baptist church is the same as the poeple who started

salem witch trials and give the native americans smallpox infected blankets

[DavidLynch007]

My game? It's called the simple language of the story.

The Westboro's say things you don't like them to say. They're not giving people diseases. They don't lay a finger on anyone.

[sleepingwolf]

theyre was two young girls the had been murdered about a year or 2 ago , and the westboro started runnint theyre mouths about the 2 girl , think how much painful that was for the 2 girls family know people are going around say thing about tho 2 girls .

if people like westboro speak for and act god

if this a true chistian is to be so cold hard to laught a someones pain that

fuck you , westboro and your god

because its not the true god but the devil

[DavidLynch007]

Good, you've made up your mind about God. That's all I wanted.

[bartisahunk]

How can anyone logically compare these people to Noah? He DID NOT go around telling people they were 'fags'. He DID NOT protest at the funeral of OTHER CHRISTIANS/FELLOW BELIEVERS.

The people at WBC don't even read or accept the FULL WORD OF GOD, they pick and choose which verses to follow and which they are going to "throw out".

Noah on the other hand KNEW AND ACCEPTED THE FULL WORD OF GOD ( as it was given at that time)

We do not have the power to condemn anyone, that is to GOD alone!

[DavidLynch007]

I'm here to help you understand better. First, did you read the passage?

Next, what specifically are you in disagreement with? What do you believe they are leaving out?

[bartisahunk]

"You help me to understand", I understand plenty about the WBC because I have been in private email conversations with them.

Here is just one of the examples of their "picking and choosing which scriptures to follow and which to ignore"

When asked about the following scripture:

Matthew 28:18-20

their response;

The key words there being "teaching them to obey everything I have commanded

you". That is exactly what we are doing. What is your point?

They decide to ignore the rest

[DavidLynch007]

And so what is your quarrel? First of all, how do YOU interpret it?

What are they leaving out?

[bartisahunk]

You have got to be kidding me.

The WHOLE Instruction from Christ Jesus himself is plainly spelled out for us. Let me put it as simple as I can for you . . .

Go make disciples of all nations (that means every culture, tribe, etc)

Baptize people

in the name of God the (Father, Son, and Holy Spirit)

AND teach them to obey the commands of God

[bartisahunk]

The LORD Jesus Christ ALSO said in Matthew 28:18-20

"All authority in heaven and on earth has

been given to me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing

them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,"

[xGimpyx]

@DavidLynch007 Thanks for the bullshit.

[capernaum83]

Numbers are deceiving, especially in the mainstream so-called churches.

[KrYp7on1t3]

so you think WBC is the "one true church"?
