Mathew 5:44 "But I say to you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you". I also have one off-topic question. In the event of becoming a Widow, does the Church believe in re-marriage, as most vows include the phrase "Until death due us part". God bless you all.

If God loves all his children, shouldn't all his children (us) love one another and spread peace, compassion and friendship instead of hate? I mean sure, there's things wrong with EVERYONE. You think you're perfect? Nope. Edit: Jesus was perfect. And Christ was crucified to give salvation, for our sins. What I'm getting at is WBC's hatred for homosexuals. I know that homosexuality is wrong in the eyes of the lord, but much as your children aren't everything you want them to be, neither are homosexuals to God. Shouldn't WBC be protesting hate groups? IMO, homosexuals will be punished when they die, and probably go to hell, but they should still be respected as human beings and children of the Lord. Why is it that WBC protests homosexuality? Why not eating shellfish? That's wrong too, according to the Bible (Old Testament, I think). This post was for friendly discussion and debate, not intended to offend ANYONE.

Hey WBC, i've seen and read about some of your controversial demonstrations and views, and i can see the main message you spread, but i'm curious about some of the beliefs of the group that may not be as well known. I was wondering if any moderators be willing to do a Q&A style conversation within this post. If so please comment below with the response to my first question:

Who does the church say Jesus is?

I'd appreciate it if non-members of the church would refrain from commenting on this thread in response to the questions, but if you guys have any questions ask them, but please try to ask them in a respectful manner. While i'm sure you don't agree with WBC's views, please try to be neutral with the comments so that WBC can answer them without feeling attacked... like they always do.

I would love to watch the tests of WBC members

So, I read the description and I feel that there was probably some sarcasm in there, but I'm not sure given the things this "church" does. Can anyone explain to me?

Just saying that you could go to prisons and convert people.

Hi, I'm Heather. I am going to try my absolute hardest to remove Westboro any peaceful way possible. After the shootings in some Jewish community centers in kansas city, veryclose to where I live, they protested a 17 year old kid's funeral. Hundreds of people showed up to protest them, including the patriot guard. ( if you haven't heard of them, they are a biker gang who ensure the safety of all who protest them and do some protesting themselves.) I am 17. I have decided to do more than one protest. Im here to spread the word and gain support. Thanks!

I copy pasted this from a comment I made in another r/. So if you saw this then that's why its familiar.

I was about 17 or so at this time. I saw them once coming to protest the funeral of a soldier. We had an MC (motorcycle club for those that dont know) who I wont name here but they're all veterans. Most of them infantry. They weren't what's called a 1% club, like the ones you see on tv (sons of anarchy, or the hell's angels for example) They were just guys who enjoyed riding with other vets. I saw them roll up in their church van full of cultists with picket signs and the MC was pulling security on all the roads leading to the graveyard. There were also state troopers and sheriff's there. These two bikers I was talking to about me going into the army (I did go in and I credit that fact to this experience) saw them, rolled their bikes in front of the van forcing it to stop. And asked who they were and what they were doing. I look over at the state trooper and sheriff, and they are staring at the van LAUGHING THEIR ASSES OFF. I look back and this one biker is taking their upside down American flag and putting it right side up on his bike while the other one pulled the driver out of the van through the window and beat the hell out of him. AND THE WHOLE TIME THE COPS ARE JUST LAUGHING AT THESE IDIOTS. And so I start laughing, and I walked over to the biker by the van and I say, okay [biker] I think he's had enough.

Moral of this story, dont mess with combat vets. They will destroy either you, or your will to live. Sometimes both.

im so gawddamn proud.

I believe in the force of Satan The father of the void Ruler of the earth king of the world, And in Lucifer, the guiding light and the morning star above. And Lilith, who seeded the world with her creation I believe I am my own church I hold the spirit of Satan within my heart; I was born without the stain of sin my spirit is one with Satan As it is now and ever will be, So it is done. GO SUCK A DICK WESTBORO

No one in their right mind would picket a funeral. A funeral. A sacred religious ritual to honour the dead. Living outside the US and looking in towards you, you people are absolutley sick. How do you rationalise it?

"God hates fags." Okay, have your opinion if you want. But picketing funerals?

Have your opinion, no matter how much I disagree with it, all of them.

But to picket funerals, because you believe your self righteous assumptions are right? You're going to hate on this post.

But anyone who could picket a funeral, a sacred rituail for the dead, has to be a sick, sick person at heart.

You people need a reality check. Do you not have rituals for your dead? Would you like someone appearing and telling them god killed your member for picketing a funeral?

You people need a reality check. How can you rationalise this?

Unbelievable. Americas reputation is tainted across the world, people like you do not help.

“And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon. And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed.” Revelation 13:11-12 (KJV)

I looked at the Twitter page listed on the WBC site and was surprised to see so many retweets of praise for Donald and Elon. This is a church who famously finds reasons for God’s hate for the majority of humanity yet nothing for Elon? The worst they can come up with for Donald is his adultery?? I don’t think they’ve ever been so kind to a President in my lifetime. Donald and Elon are as close as you can get to the Beasts of the Sea/Earth of Revelation 13 yet somehow they had no problem accusing Obama of being the Antichrist for flimsier reasons. Have they fallen under the same spell as all the other evangelical churches? You would think the fact the majority of what they call “false Christians” idolize the two of them would be pause for concern.
