There is no Christian church which wants to execute homosexuals. This entire story and the justification for the bombing is questionable.

This is the group the Pastor of the firebombed church is aligned with.

Anderson started Faithful Word in 2005, according to its website. Its doctrinal statement says its members “believe that homosexuality is a sin and an abomination which God punishes with the death penalty.”

After the 2016 shooting at Pulse Nightclub, Anderson posted a video on Youtube in which he praised the massacre, saying "[t]he good news is that there’s 50 less pedophiles in this world,” the New York Times reported.

Pastor attending ‘Make America Straight Again’ calls homosexuality ‘perversion’ in confrontation with protesters

It would appear that the FBI has a game plan. I think it was copied from the “KEYSTONE COPS” of old.

I think they are doing a very good job of impersonation. Almost identical.

Wouldn’t be surprised if the FBI supplied the bomb or bomb making material and then just let a crazy take action because they looked the other way.

I read the article and see ZERO confirmation of such statements. They don’t even state “alleged”. It’s as if there is no doubt he and that conference said it.

If they DID state such things, then this is more on par with Westboro Baptist Church and it is not a good church.

Or perhaps the queers are conflating it with the reality of Islam.

They’re not even reflexively stating that it’s a “hate crime”. As they would if some homo Blue Oyster club was bombed.

Imagine big media’s 24/7 reaction if a bomb was thrown into an abortion clinic. A church? Not much

Weeeeellll. This is the doctrinal statement of the church that organized the "Make America Straight Again" rally that the firebombed Pastor attended. They claim to believe in forgiveness but....ya can't witness to the dead.

We believe that homosexuality is a sin and an abomination which God punishes with the death penalty.

Doctrinal Statement

An El Monte church that was threatened this month with an arson attack over its extremist views and condemnation of same-sex marriage was damaged early Saturday, Jan. 23, when someone threw a bomb at the building,

extremist views and..

Likely meaning supporting basic Biblical morality which used to be traditional.

That doesn’t say that gov should execute; it statues that God punishes.

Probably the news not having the word “excommunicate” in its vocabulary.

Blowing up churches and burning them didn’t serve the KKK very well in the 1960s and it will not work now—even in our secular age. You can Burn a church but you can not burn the faith of the Christian heart—it will only cause it to burn brighter and spark more violence.

If so, it could be worded more clearly. It's not the only thing that I disagreed with.

I wonder if that’s what the church really said. And calling them “extremist” views. The ones who threw the bomb aren’t extremist? Really? Here’s the media caught trying to justify bombing churches.

The Media and the Left are Anti-God and Anti-Church. Odd that they are all pro-Islam. makes no sense. Could be they know Muslims will retaliate and they are afraid of them

"The Media and the Left are Anti-God and Anti-Church. Odd that they are all pro-Islam. makes no sense."

The left and Islam are completely united in the desire to overturn the Judeo-Christian underpinnings of western civilization. That is their primary objective and in that, they view each other as valuable allies.

Once that goal is accomplished, they will be at each others' throats to see who gets to pick up the pieces and rebuild in their image.

Sounds like they’re advocating anti-Gay doctrines from some Muslim countries that Liberals love, such as Iran, to become government policy here.
