Christian Carrion Eaters

So far this blog is having more to do with gun issues than I would have liked.Perhaps that will  die down,hopefully for a long time.But I'm not really counting on it.

What I wanted to point out,and today is a good day to do it,is that the tragedy in Orlando brought out some familiar faces.It wasn't more than a few hours,surely the bodies were not even cold when those fine "Christian"carrion eaters at Westboro Baptist Church showed up proclaiming the shooter to be appointed by God to eliminate"fags". If you are not familiar with these people,you can check them out,view their videos.Although I don't suggest you view much.A few minutes ought to give you the general idea.

I just want to say,maybe to point out the obvious here,but this kind of ministry does not work.Simply,you will not bring souls to Christ,as we are instructed to do.Westboro Baptist Church simply is preaching apostasy,not Christian doctrine.The key mistake in this sort of preaching is that salvation is based on a relationship,not law.It is achieved by God's grace through the Blood Of Christ.For those of us who have received that salvation,who wish to carry out Gods Great Commission,we can only do that by establishing relationships with other persons.It simply will not work any other way.It must follow the model.And it can never do that if it's built around one verse of scripture rather than a whole and wholly reasonable system of belief.If that's what preaching does,it's dogma and nothing else.Westboro's bible seem to stop at Leviticus18:20,while the Holy Bible has a few more pages.Westboro's insane rants fly in the face of Christian Scripture,and in particular New Testament teaching,beginning with John 3:16.

But of course,they will defend such hateful preaching to the bitter end.They will cite the story of Sodom And Gomorrah as their authority.And,by the way,that's a great story to examine in more detail sometime.But,in the mean time,I suggest that how others orient themselves sexually is of less importance than hoe Christians orient themselves to  others who need God's Grace,as we all do.

When I first attended church,as a new Christian,some twenty years ago,there seemed to be a lot of  wisdom,especially among the older members.One of the first things someone told me was that I needed to be careful of what I said to unbelievers because"You might be the only Jesus they ever see." I guess word hasn't gotten around to Westboro Baptist Church yet.
