Pastor Steven Anderson, of Faithful Word Baptist Church, called for stoning to death ministers who performed same-sex marriage ceremonies and repeated his call for the execution of all LGBT people.
I hate them with a perfect hatred, Anderson shouted. I count them mine enemies.
Anderson said the Bible consistently called Christians to have the guts to stand up to our culture that is now accepts homos.
Wheres the call to repentance? Anderson said. Wheres the hope, wheres the love and the grace? It isnt there.
Another pastor, William Tapley the self-described Third Eagle of the Apocalypse said the ruling that legalizing the crime of sodomy would hasten the end of the world, in accordance with the prophesy.
The Soviet Union, todays Russia, opposes gay marriage, Tapley said. God is going to make it clear that he is destroying a country that legalized gay marriage by a country that opposes gay marriage. This is very significant.
He praised the Russian president for comparing LGBT to child molesters.

(3,433 posts)I seem to recall a bunch of scribes and Pharisees proposing something similar in regards to some woman violating the law of Moses. What was it that Jesus said? Oh right, "let he who is without sin cast the first stone"
-
Now, Jesus did tell the woman to go forth and sin no more. Many Christians (not all, it is important to remember this) believe that same sex marriage is a sin so I can understand a Baptist minister reprimanding another priest/pastor for marrying two men or two women. Suggesting that person be stoned? It seems to me that Pastor Steven Anderson skipped John 8:1-11
