Steve Ander­son, the anti-Semitic pas­tor of the Faith­ful Word Bap­tist Church in Tempe, Ari­zona, denies the Holo­caust in a video he posted to YouTube last week, claim­ing that the mil­lions of Jews who were gassed and burned in ovens sim­ply died of hunger and dis­ease due to forced labor and war.

In addi­tion to argu­ing that it would be impos­si­ble for the Nazis to have cre­mated a mil­lion Jews at Auschwitz, Ander­son claims that the slave labor­ers there got com­pen­sated for their work and could buy items at a com­mis­sary. He fur­ther asserts that Jews were able to play on a soc­cer team and act in musi­cals and plays at Auschwitz.

Ander­son also pro­motes other anti-Semitic claims. He asserts that Hitler and Zion­ists had the same goal of get­ting Jews to leave Ger­many and then accuses the Zion­ists of work­ing with the Nazis so that Jews would go to Pales­tine. He alleges that the Jews lied about the Holo­caust so that the state of Israel could be cre­ated and asserts that Jews stole the land from Arabs and then put them in “a giant con­cen­tra­tion camp known as Gaza.”

This video is also a pro­mo­tion piece for Anderson’s anti-Semitic film “March­ing to Zion.” The film, released in March 2015, refers to Judaism as the “syn­a­gogue of Satan” and claims that Jews are fol­low­ers of the Antichrist. He also asserts that Jews who deny that Jesus is the Mes­siah would lie about the Holo­caust. He argues, “Why would it sur­prise you that the peo­ple who deny the Christ, who deny that Jesus is the mes­siah, would lie to you about some­thing else?”

Independent Baptist ... what could go wrong ? ...

“Independent Baptist ... what could go wrong ?...”

Probably not as much as with a progressive Pope declaring the worlds greatest threats to be [man-caused] “climate change,” overpopulation, and the need for a new sovereign global government to deal with it.

This Tempe, Arizona guy is not fundamental in doctrine, and clearly does not hold to baptistic or biblical theology.

Actually, I do not know of any “Baptist” in the Phoenix area who would recognize the legitimacy of such nonsense.

I agree however, he is out to get some publicity for himself.

Seems a bit like the Westboro Baptist “pastor” in some respects.

Only in the Westboro case, the “pastor” had no theological training, had been a democrat, who previously worked with the ACLU, worked to get a number of democrats elected to office over the course of at least two decades, and had almost nothing but family and extended family for membership.

In both cases, they have served to bring a bad name to Christianity and are nothing more than glory hounds.
