We talked about the Westboro Baptist church last week in our Bible study class. Take a look at their statements sometime and the verses they use to back up their position. It's interesting to see why they take the stance they do. Where did they go off the tracks? Does God hate sin? Does He hate those who commit sin? He does.
Here's the part I think they are missing: They are sinners too. The only way they can escape God's wrath is through faith in Jesus Christ. That same escape is available to everyone, even those they say God hates. Why would God open this escape route to His enemies? He dug the tunnel out of the prison and is offering to show the way to all the inmates! Why?
For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.
John 3:16
