A California church that espouses anti-LGBTQ beliefs and has been the recent target of protests was bombed with an improvised explosive device early Saturday morning, authorities said.

The El Monte Police Department responded to calls around 4:30 a.m. about smoke at First Works Baptist Church. Officers discovered windows were broken and realized there had been a blast, Lt. Christopher Cano told reporters at the scene. There were no injuries or deaths.

Not a good move - FBI takes bombs seriously.

These things are almost always done by insiders in an attempt to drum up sympathy.

My guess is that it has already been given to the “Hunter Biden” team. Nothing further will happen...

I’m sure that’s not the case here. Any church that follows Biblical teaching and honors God’s word is going to be vilified and persecuted. Jesus promised it. “They hated me and they will hate you also.”

I would not be surprised if the perps were who we think they are and not an inside job.

This one they just won't be able to solve, just like they couldn't get Bill Ayres for his Mostly Peaceful Bombings.

Of course I condemn the bombing and hope they catch the criminal(s) who did it.

If half of what is written about Steven Anderson is true, I can’t really sympathize with this little sect either. Calling for the death penalty for homosexuality, publicly praying for the death of Obama, producing anti-Semitic videos and tracts, etc. Real Christian of him, eh?

When AIDS first became connected to homosexual sex, an Orthodox Presbyterian church in San Francisco was targeted for its adherence to biblical teaching. The pastor received death threats against him and his family, and homosexual activists harassed people trying to attend church services. The pastor responded by ministering to AIDS patients in a compassionate way.

He is.

20 Remember the word that I said unto you, The servant is not greater than his lord. If they have persecuted me, they will also persecute you; if they have kept my saying, they will keep yours also. 21 But all these things will they do unto you for my name's sake, because they know not him that sent me. John 15:20,21
