Is there a freeper out there who can start a ping list of military funerals that are going to be attacked by Phelps? I'll try to go to any in Eastern Kansas or Western Missouri. I'm sure other freepers can be mobilized.
Sadly, the church has become lax in discpilining it's own. A group of Baptist pastors needs to go to Mr. Phelps and bring correction to him. If that doesn't work, they need to go to the Baptist association, and if that fails, they need to go public and the Baptist association needs to toss him out.
For a Baptist, who have been great at developing systematic theology, Phelps doesn't seem to grasp much of the gospel's point, which is to love the lost. God doesn't hate gays any more than he hates murderers or gossips or adulterers or liars or theives, which is to say that he doesn't hate them at all. He may hate their sin, but last I heard, gay sex was listed right there with drunkenness, slander, coveting, lying, killing, fornicating, selfishness, and anything else we know to be wrong.
The Lord has told us that judgment first will come to the House of God. Fred needs to be told that as an ambassador for Christ, his representation of Christ by presenting the Gospel as bad news is not likely to be viewed by God as something to be put up with for much longer. Pride goeth before a fall, as it says....
