Video: Westboro Baptist Church

[Brent Jones]

Hi folks,

I'm sorry to raise such a controversial topic... but take a moment to watch this video below.

Go to YouTube and search for "xMbfQ117Jts" (without the quotation marks - use copy and paste)

I am curious to get your feedback.

Do you think the people of Westboro Baptist Church are doing God's work and sharing His Holy message? Or do you feel like they are misinforming people and sharing a message of hate that reflects poorly on Christianity?

I have my own opinion but I'd be curious to see what the rest of you think.

God bless,

Westboro has been discussed at length here over the years. Bible Fundamentalists condemn them as a cult. You can do a search in this forum for more discussion. Here's one of the more lengthy discussions: http://www.christianforums.com/t7453954/

Probably not a bad idea to pray for them. Do any of us deserve God's grace more than they do?

They probably wouldn't want our prayers..considering that our prayers would be to turn from their hateful ways..
They in turn would want to pray that we become just like them and join their little cult!

Nah, those yayhoos think that everyone who doesn't believe as they do is beyond prayer.

You may have a point there!

I could only watch four minutes of the video before I had to turn it off in revulsion.

Mostly fundamentalist Christians videos shows westboro baptist church. they go at church and prayer to their God. Well, all religion have their own, but we know which is perfect. videos show many things.

I'm doubly offended by these people. As a Christian, I'm disturbed by the bad name they are giving to our Lord. As a Viet Nam vet, I'm angry for what they do to those families trying to bury their dead. God will sort it all out later.

Yes. How do you line up 'God hates you!' with 'For God so loved the world'......

The two phrases can't be reconciled.

True.

God loves sinners so much that he is not prepared to leave them the way they are.

So they are a cult? Well I'm glad to see that no one has been brave enough to support them in this thread yet... but...

What do you call a small group of crazy people? a cult.

What do you call a large group of crazy people? a religion.

They are a cult
answer #1 is spot on
answer #2-the population of a psychiatric hospital.

Religions and Atheism BOTH have their fair share of crazies,but neither group has a monopoly on the other.

Technically they are primitive Baptists. They are also Calvinists who believe in the doctrine of Absolute Predestination.

In other words, they are hardcore "frozen chosen" types.

...and yes too, a cult.

In 2008, a young man in Canada was brutally attacked by a madmad (while asleep on a greyhound bus) who then decapitated him and ate part of his flesh.
The congregation of the westboro church planned on coming to protest the funeral.

"God is punishing Canada, for passing laws against WBC - by exposing Canadians as cannibals and highway decapitaters. WBC prays for more and worse calamities from God. We'll picket their funerals."

They were stopped at the boarder.

i think "cult" is thrown around alot, and religious watchdogs call everyone with something different than accepted "norm" a "cult".. however, cult or not, there are some really disturbed teachings being done at that church.
