NEWS RELEASE
'Brokeback Mountain' star
- Heath Ledger - is dead.
WBC will picket(et his funeral.
"Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with
womankind; it is abomination." Lev. 18:22.
"For because of these things cometh the wrath
of God upon the children of disobedience."
Eph.5:6.

Yes. WBC will picket this pervert's funeral, in
religious protest and warning: "Be not
deceived; God is not mocked." Gal. 6 : 7. Heath
Ledger thought it was great fun defying God
Almighty and His plain word; to wit: God Hates
Fags! & Fag-Enablers! Ergo, God hates the
sordid, tacky bucket of slime seasoned with
vomit known as 'Brokeback Mountain' - and He
hates all persons having anything whatsoever
to do with it.

1. Are a lot of Baptist churches denouncing these people?

I hope so.

[greenbriar]

3. oy

every baptist we know shuns this hate filled group

[Critters2]

2. I went to an American Baptist seminary, and my Baptist friends

are mortified by the fact that this bigot calls himself a Baptist. Thanks for speaking up!

[aquart]

4. Anyone with a brain knows this man's view of religion

is highly individual.

[ruggerson]

5. Don't the Southern Baptists pretty much preach the same thing

but just in softer tones and with more "loving" words?

[greenbriar]

6. not sure

but my church preaches about how we can enrich our lives in our walk with God. Never has my pastor got up and dissed others

8. Southern Baptist Convention On Homosexuality

SBC Position on Sexual Orientation

The SBC's Christian Life Commission publishes a pamphlet called Critical Issues: Homosexuality. It states that:

The many Bible passages that are commonly quoted as condemning homosexuality are valid.
People can change their sexual orientation.
Homosexual orientation is not "caused" by hormonal imbalance or genetic factors, but by an unhealthy relationship with one's parents.
People cannot be pigeonholed into two classifications: homosexual or heterosexual. A continuum exists which includes various degrees of bisexuality.
Although homosexual activity is a sin, it is not the unpardonable sin, or the most terrible of sins.
Homosexuals can only lead moral lives by remaining celibate.
Discrimination against gays and lesbians is proper, in the areas of: employment.
to protect the (presumably heterosexual) "family."
to protect other social institutions.


Rev. William Merrell, the SBC's vice president for convention relations said in 1997-MAR:

"It is a fundamental contradiction, to say 'gay minister,'...The teachings of scripture are plain; that one is called to live a life that is in keeping with the principles the Lord has given us. Homosexuality is a fundamental denial of those principles."

Within the SBC, Merrell said members always have affirmed the same position: homosexuality is a sin, homosexual ministers should be removed, and gay and lesbian people must renounce the lifestyle if they want to be members of the denomination.
