Appalling

I don't believe I have ever been so appalled as when I stumbled upon a video interview with Shirley Phelps-Roper. I don't know if you have heard of her church or not, but they run a website called godhatesfags.com. They protest funerals of those who have given their lives in service to our country... to protect the right of free speech for idiots like her. They say that soldiers are going to hell because they serve a country that supports gays. They have signs that read "God hates fags" "God hates America" and the kicker "God hates you". I don't know who the God is that they serve, but that is not MY GOD. My God is a God of LOVE and PEACE. A God of FORGIVENESS and MERCY. Her father (and coincedently also her father-in-law because she is married to her step brother) has been noting saying "You can't preach the Bible without preaching hatred." and
"God doesn't hate them because they're fags; they're fags because God hates them." I really am so discusted and sickened by this whole group. This is what really happens when Christianity is distorted. It's heart breaking. Let me just lay down some truth...

Matthew 22:37-40 -- Jesus replied, " 'You must love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, all your mind.' This is the first and greatest commandment. A second is equally important: 'Love your neighbor as yourself.' "

Luke 6: 36-37 -- You must be compasionate, just as your father is compassionate. Stop judging others and you will not be judged. Stop criticizing others or it will all come back on you. If you forgive others, you will be forgiven.

Luke 24:47 -- With my authority, take this message of repentance to all the nations, beginning in Jerusalem: `There is forgiveness of sins for all who turn to me.'


AND NOMATTER WHAT PEOPLE LIKE HER SAY... IT DOESN'T MATTER... .What GOD says MATTERS. Those are HIS words and HE LOVES YOU!!!!!!!!

Peace out...

Good Job, Mel! The lost are lost whether they profess to know Christ or not. Hard to pray for someone who is so hateful, isn't it?
