Quote:
The God of the Bible is a God of both love and hate.
I have not devoted any time to becoming a biblical scholar, but I do remember that whole pillar of salt thing. Do homosexuals get turned into a pillar of salt?
Quote:
While the Bible is clear about what God hates, it is even more clear that God loves his creation.
Not according to WBC. And they seem to have the biblical quotes to back it up.
Quote:
I strongly disagree with any "Christian" (and I use the term lightly) that would publicy show hatred against a group of people in the name of God, especially in an attempt to shame them into conversion (if that was indeed their goal). If anything, they are missing the big picture: that God loved the world so much that He sent a sacrifice so that all can know Him.
OK, you strongly disagree with them, but how do you know/demonstrate that they are wrong?
I hope you'll understand that it was all I could do to restrain myself -- to keep from going down and insulting them, perhaps even spitting on them. I didn't. Not because they don't deserve it, but because it is my firm sense that they would be *thrilled* if I did.
Quote:
According to the WBC website, God hates Jews and Blacks as well. I'm sure Polish and Gypsys aren't far down the list. Perhaps their god is Hitler?
WBC DA: Our God is the one, true God of the Bible. If you want to ignore him then that's your tough luck.
