How anti Christian is this? How embarassing? How heartbreaking!

Answer 1

I do not agree with the sign toting people condemning other people in the name of God. Scripture states that you will know who is the Lords for the fruits of their labor. Hatred and self-righteousness is not the fruit of the Lord. They condemn other people that are different then themselves to feel better about their particular misdeeds and to justify their own hatred of other human beings. So yes, I would oppose them.

Answer 2

As you have five sites I will number the 1 - 5, and evaluate each one.
1) Love it. Lev 18:22; Rev 21:27
2) God hates the USA? No he does not.
3) No special laws for them, but I stop short of killing the,.
4) I can dig it.
5) This man is obviously an anti -American ( liberal).
Over all they have the right to believe as they wish.

Answer 3

I had written a commentary about these people. Its pretty much a church of about 80 with nothing but family members and a wacked out self appointed "man of God". Its these people that give the world a bitter taste towards Christians, because they do not rightly divide between us. They lump us all into one mish mash pile of hypocritical dung and yell out, "see how Christians are!!"? Lord have mercy on them and on those who falsly accuse us all of being like this.

Answer 4

Yes, ABSOLUTELY! A few months ago, the Westboro "Baptist Church" threated to picket the Amish schoolgirl funerals, which happened about 30 miles from where I live. My church and I were preparing our signs and were going up there, but Westboro pulled out at the last minute.

They will receive their judgement from King Jesus at the appointed time. In the meantime, let's pray for them, that they see their sins and repent.

Peace and Merry Christmas!

Answer 5

Very anti Christ. This is why no one wants to know Christ. Some people actually believe that God feels toward them as these haters in the links you provided. Who in their right mind would want to worship a God who acts like a hater. They are impeding the Great Commission.
Tell me where to go and I'll have my positive message of God's love ready.

Answer 6

As a Christian I think this is very cruel and VERY UNChristlike. We are to live according to how Christ lived and taught and He never did or said such things. Yes He warned about Hell but didn't point the finger in the process (except to religious zealots who were doing similar things as this)

Answer 7

I agree....Although you have to know that certain behavior is not moral according to God's standard, this is hardly the way to demonstrate God's love..... Jesus told the prosititue "Go, and sin no more".... He didn't stand in the public square and call her a whore and stone her to death. He treated her with respect and dignity.... This is a sad message, carried by a sad group of ill-informed. God loves the sinner, he just does not love the sin.

Answer 8

Yes I would. I often wonder which sin God abhors more - the one the sign is being directed at or the one directing the sign.

Answer 9

What a poor example of God's love. How misled and confused those people are.

Answer 10

I hate it when other Christians ruin our beliefs. They go out and they make us seem like condemmers and stuff.
