Other translations of the Bible have the verse as "by their works, ye shall know them" -- that is, in order to really understand a person, you should study his beliefs or actions. Broussard is saying that Collins is unworthy as both a person and a Christian because he "believes in" homosexuality. But Broussard doesn't realize that he's also saying that he himself is qualified to decide how worthy a Christian you are.

When you point a finger at someone, you point three fingers at yourself.
