Of course they will call this a hate crime. Forget the billboards telling homosexuals that it is a sin, that were destroyed a few years ago.

In certain blue states this might fly, but here in Indiana people are still not afraid to express their displeasure with these people.

5When Jesus had entered Capernaum, a centurion came to him, asking for help. 6"Lord," he said, "my servant lies at home paralyzed and in terrible suffering."

7Jesus said to him, "I will go and heal him."

8The centurion replied, "Lord, I do not deserve to have you come under my roof. But just say the word, and my servant will be healed. 9For I myself am a man under authority, with soldiers under me. I tell this one, 'Go,' and he goes; and that one, 'Come,' and he comes. I say to my servant, 'Do this,' and he does it."

10When Jesus heard this, he was astonished and said to those following him, "I tell you the truth, I have not found anyone in Israel with such great faith. 11I say to you that many will come from the east and the west, and will take their places at the feast with Abraham, Isaac and Jacob in the kingdom of heaven. 12But the subjects of the kingdom will be thrown outside, into the darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth."

13Then Jesus said to the centurion, "Go! It will be done just as you believed it would." And his servant was healed at that very hour.

Mathew 8:5-13

The church who put up the billboard should be sued for false advertising.

Mat 8:5-13 MKJV
(5) And when Jesus had entered into Capernaum, a centurion came to him, beseeching Him,
(6) and saying, Lord, my son lies at home paralyzed and grievously tormented.
(7) And Jesus says to him, I will come and heal him.
(8) The centurion answered and said, Lord, I am not worthy that You should come under my roof; but only speak the word, and my boy will be healed.
(9) For I am a man under authority, having soldiers under me. And I say to this one, Go! And he goes; and to another, Come! And he comes; and to my servant, Do this! And he does it.
(10) When Jesus heard, He marvelled and said to those who followed, Truly I say to you, I have not found such great faith, no, not in Israel.
(11) And I say to you that many shall come from the east and the west, and shall sit down with Abraham and Isaac and Jacob in the kingdom of Heaven.
(12) But the sons of the kingdom shall be cast out into outer darkness; there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
(13) And Jesus said to the centurion, Go. And as you have believed, so let it be to you. And his boy was healed in that hour.

They had that one coming.

If the government is not going to enforce statutes against slander and false advertising despite receiving complaints, then people will seek redress.

It really is beyond me how one can - with a straight face - maintain that the centurion's slave was a sexual partner.

Not in my Bible

Matthew
Chapter 8
5
4 When he entered Capernaum, 5 a centurion approached him and appealed to him,
6
saying, "Lord, my servant is lying at home paralyzed, suffering dreadfully."
7
He said to him, "I will come and cure him."
8
The centurion said in reply, 6 "Lord, I am not worthy to have you enter under my roof; only say the word and my servant will be healed.
9
For I too am a person subject to authority, with soldiers subject to me. And I say to one, 'Go,' and he goes; and to another, 'Come here,' and he comes; and to my slave, 'Do this,' and he does it."
10
When Jesus heard this, he was amazed and said to those following him, "Amen, I say to you, in no one in Israel 7 have I found such faith.
11
I say to you, 8 many will come from the east and the west, and will recline with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob at the banquet in the kingdom of heaven,
12
but the children of the kingdom will be driven out into the outer darkness, where there will be wailing and grinding of teeth."
13
And Jesus said to the centurion, "You may go; as you have believed, let it be done for you." And at that very hour (his) servant was healed.

I can’t even begin to understand how they can convince themselves that that passage can be interpreted to mean that. I’m at a total loss.

I agree, I might not be deepest of wells, but how the heck they came up with this is beyond me.

[In order to deface the billboards, vandals had to be daring, using extension ladders.]

Wow, the people who did this must be REALLY dedicated to take the EXTREME measure of putting up an extension ladder and climbing up it. I assume they were high on cocaine considering how daring they were.

No one is saying who put this libel up in the first place....Clear Channel? Whoever it is we should bombard them with calls and emails all week until it is taken down.

To “Rev.” Jeff Miner and the libs a “servant” or “boy” can only be read as some gay perversion.

You and everyone else here evidently. This took more twisted convoluted thinking than a Democrat justifying a tax increase is good for businesses.

Satanist always interprets the bible for their own sick and selfish justifications to justify its evil!

An obvious example that homosexuality is a mental disease.

And at that very hour (his) servant was healed.

Two versions of the interaction with the centurion have been posted. One refers to the ill one as his servant and the other refers to the ill one as his son. The billboard does not claim that Jesus was gay, so it must mean that the centurion and the ill person were a gay couple. So the billboard is saying that the centurion was having homosexual relations with his son (i.e. he is a child molester) or with his slave (probably non-consensual). Neither makes gay couples look real good. They probably need to rethink their PR on this one.

That describes Mohammed, the warlord, to a T.

So, the Centurion and his servant were gay, huh? How do you think the gay-bo’s feel about the rest of the passage, about “under orders”, “do as I tell them” . . . that subjugation thingie. Of course, homosexuals might like that.
