Rev Bill

Westboro Baptist Church in Topeka, Kansas seems to have a mission to let the world know that God hates just about everything they hate - homosexuals, the Pope, whatever they don’t like! This Church — started by
Pastor Fred Phelps — seems to be intent on spreading hate and fear throughout the country. The local news today has been showing a “love crusade” they have held in Danville, VA — which turned out to be a confrontation with those who did not agree with them. Thank God no one was hurt — yet!

They plan to go to a Catholic Church in the area tomorrow to disrupt services — and celebrate their belief that Pope John Paul II is in hell.

What really concerns me about this is that they are teaching children that God hates homosexuals, Catholics, and just about anyone else who believes differently than they do. These are children from that Church proudly wearing their T shirts!

It’s not that I believe that homosexuality is a correct lifestyle — because I don’t — it’s just that I frimly believe several things:

1. God wants all people to repent and believe in Him (John 3:16)
2. God does not hate anyone — but loves and wants everyone to repent of their sins and follow Him. (Matthew 18:10-14)
3. God wants us to show His love to all people — and not judge others. (Matthew 7:1-5)

I guess the most important thing I believe is that if God can love and forgive me, God can love and forgive anybody!

Unitl next time — Peace! Bill
