Do you think the Westboro Baptist Church spreads hate, or do you think that they have the right idea? What are your opinions about this church?

Thank you! ^_^

I think they have no idea about what the love of God is.
I don't have a reliable source, but I heard the family are lawyers and use these cases to make money from the denial of their free speech. I love the veterans who go and stand between the griefing family and these lost Christians if they are actually Christians.

Hmmmm....
I have just read about that amazing church!
Do they follow the way of Jesus?

Megnev, I recommend you go to individuals and ask. On a public forum like this anything other than an honest independent opinion, can be taken as libel and offensive.

Folk with strong views and enjoy litigation could abuse this forum. And try to stop the good works available.

Let us pray that the Lord will sort out that group as he see's fit. He is a just Lord.

My husband worked with one of the sons of the founder...years ago (10). They believe in predestination...and when challenged about why they do what they do with the signs given their predestination stance they shut down. It's a well known rumor here in Topeka that one of his sons came out several years ago and that set them on the coarse they are on. It's also known that they will sue anyone who uses fighting words or fists, and take them to the cleaners...in fact now they make sure to record most of their pickets...
In addition the leader/founder has body guards now days... And from what I understand it's impossible to reason Scripturally with him.
All this heresy, however known by good friends and my spouse who's had personal experiences.
A dollar short and a day late... :)

They must be using one of those damnable, heretical straight-from-the-pit-of-Hell ;) modern Bible versions that cuts out important verses, such as:

Col. 4:6 - "Let your speech always be gracious, seasoned with salt, so that you may know how you ought to answer everyone."

2 Tim. 2:24-25a - "And the Lord's servant must not be quarrelsome but kindly to everyone, an apt teacher, patient, correcting opponents with gentleness."

Religions have a dark side. Throu the Westboro Baptist Church we are able to see the dark side of the Christian Religion. Can you imagine what we would have if their hateful ways actually caught on with in the main stream Christian Faith? The horrors of the Inquisition come to mind.

I don't like them at all. They are misdirecting their message by antagonizing the families of fallen heroes. They need to get their act straight and take their message to the government. I don't like their tactics, and their hateful language. Homosexuality is definitely not approved by God, however they need to learn some tact and get some class in spreading their message. They are just making things worse for all Christians, and creating enemies instead of converting people to Christ.

I find them distasteful and unscriptural. Led by a cult leader in a cult style. Exhibiting cult-tendencies such as the ability to not be reasoned with.

I think they work iniquity into the world through their hatred, and may very well find themselves on the receiving end of one of the verses they quote

"The boastful shall not stand in your presence You hate all who do iniquity"

"Many of you shall say Lord Lord .... and I shall say to them, get away from me you workers of iniquity I never knew you"

I think their message may contradict itself - they may preach something but would not want to be corrected,kind of like mainstream Christians....

....Anyway,whether they are wrong or right,God knows his own...

Matthew 7:1:Judge not, that ye be not judged.

Christian? They are antichrist.


Yes, they are essentially a hate group, comparable to the KKK or Neo-Nazis. They're main objects of hatred are gay people, but also Jews and many other races, religions, and countries, including the majority of Christians.

1)KKK is not a hate group...
2)They(WBC) preach Jesus,they do not deny Jesus..

The KKK is a hate group, why would you say otherwise?

2)They(WBC) preach Jesus,they do not deny Jesus..
They don't preach Jesus, they preach conformity to a certain set of rules with Jesus tacked on. They exhibit all the signs of a cult group.
