Hello, compiledkernel.

In my opinion, and from Biblical evidence, I can full-heartedly say that what this "church" and its people are doing is OVERLY DISGUSTING.

I am an Independent Fundamental Baptist, and I just believe what the Bible says and try my best to live my life for God. Nonetheless, I am not perfect, but I am a sinner Saved by Grace. I am no better than anyone else, and I admit my faults. This "church", however, is full of people who are full of hatred. Jesus Himself said:

For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.
John 3:17

Jesus himself was not here to condemn, but to Save. There may be people in that "church" who are truly Saved, but who are misled by the supposed "leader" of this "church". Only God knows the hearts of the people there, but once they are Saved they are Saved for good--eternal life. However, they will have to give an account of all they have done in their lives unto God once they have passed from this world. In my opinion, do people from that "church" who practice these things deserve to be in Hell? Well, yes...and so do I. But for this man to say that those living in homosexuality will burn in Hell is absurd, as those practicing that lifestyle can be Saved just like murderers, liars, and anybody else. I may be wrong, as only God knows, but it is probable that a LOT of the people in that "church" are unsaved. They need to look into the mirror and see that they are not perfect, and that they are no better than anyone else. I will openly state here this thought of mine: They do not deserve to have the word Baptist in the name of their church, as what they are doing is making those who love the Lord and who follow Him the way it should be look like horrible people.

As for the protests I will say this: In the Bible, God's people did not protest. In the book of Acts, for instance, when Peter was in prison, the church did not protest outside of the jail because of his undeserved imprisonment, but rather continued in prayer and waiting for GOD to take care of what needed seeing to. Here is the verse from teh Bible:

Peter therefore was kept in prison: but prayer was made without ceasing of the church unto God for him.
Acts 12:5

Not only is what this "church" doing wrong and degrading, but it is in itself against the Bible which they claim to believe and uphold. My prayers go out to any families who are victims of this absurdity.

In any case, some of you reading this post may think that I sound harsh, but what I say I say lovingly and with firmness of heart. It is a matter of time before the Lord comes back, and I just humbly await that blessed hope...

Anyhow, take care, everyone.
