Church calls for LGBTQ to die by suicide
An independent Baptist church in Indianapolis has defended a sermon in which church members called for the deaths of people in the LGBTQ+ community.
On July 3, preacher Justin Zhong said in a post on the Sure Foundation Baptist Church's Facebook page that the church would not apologize for the sermon.
"The Bible is crystal clear that sodomites (homosexuals) deserve the death penalty carried out by a government that actually cares about the law of God," Zhong wrote.
In an emailed statement to Newsweek, the Sure Foundation Baptist Church said: "The Bible puts the death penalty on the LGBTQ people. We as Christians must believe and preach what the Bible says. The reason people are so shocked about all this is not many 'Christians' and even 'pastors' actually believe the Bible. To be clear, we only called for the government to execute those people. We are against vigilantes."

I mean, how profoundly stupid do you have to be to 'believe' the bible. It is those mouth-breathing troglodytes that should be 'executed by the government'.

We know how the story goes: years to decades later we'd learn that the preacher was having sex with male escorts to whom he was buying the party favors...

I bet you we could find something in the Bible that would justify the killing of Pastor Zhong.

I've just alerted ICE about "Pastor" Zhong. Normally, I live and let live. But in his case, I'm snitching.

I don't believe the Bible defines 'sodomites' so narrowly.

When you hear them talk shit like this, then pay them no mind. He cites Leviticus in the OT for his justification. Fact is, its only the Jewish people who are bound to the standard of the OT. As a Christian, this man is to subscribe only to the teachings of Yeshua as presented in the NT. He contradicts those teachings with his vile assertion. He is the epitome of the one to be rebuked by the Messiah in that hour: "Go away from me. I never knew you."

Pastor Zhong is confused; he think's we're a cult and he and his flock are nice people.

He also looks to be three feet tall. We could take him.

Yup. His biceps are smaller than his wrists. That’s a medical marvel.
