A Texas pastor won’t let any “dirty f**gots” inside his church.
In a video that was released today by Right Wing Watch, another pastor has been filmed preaching hate. Last week, we brought you the news of Arizona Pastor Steven Anderson,?who was filmed preaching a sermon entitled “The Judgement of God” which called for the killing of all gay people so there would be an “AIDS-free” Christmas. Today, a video was released of Pastor Donnie Romero of Stedfast Baptist Church?in Fort Worth, Texas preaching about “Why God wants ‘those people’ (referring to LGBT people) killed.”
An excerpt from the sermon can be seen below:
In the short video, Pastor Romero states:
“I’m going to explain to you why God wants these people to be put to death.“
Romero goes on to quote Deuteronomy, saying:
“…God is against the sodomites, they’re filthy, and they’re an abomination to God.”
Romero also says he?loves this part of the Bible:
“I love that part of the Bible and I’m going to preach that part of the Bible until the day I die and if I ever stop preaching that part of the Bible, I hope my kids tell me, ‘Dad, you’re going soft on sin. You need to get up there and rip on these queers because it’s only getting worse and worse.'”
Romero then brings up Pastor Anderson and says:
“Amen to what Pastor Anderson said – I’m not going to let any of these dirty f**gots inside my church.”
The most disturbing part of the clip is when Romero lies and says all gay people are pedophiles”
“They are all pedophiles. Look in the Bible. Every time it shows the sodomites, in Genesis 19, Judges 19, they’re always trying to rape and hurt other people. They are relentless. They are predators and given an opportunity to snatch one of your children, they would do it in a heartbeat.”
Ironically, Anderson and Romero have a history. In August, Anderson ordained Pastor Donnie Romero, who then established his new church. See more of this hate on the Stedfast Baptist Church Facebook page.
Apparently calling for the extermination of all LGBT people is becoming a new trend (not unlike the pastors who called for the extermination of all black people back in the day). The good news is that despite these harsh words, less and less people are tolerating the hate. On Sunday, almost 100 people came to Pastor Steven Anderson’s church to protest?Anderson’s sermon about killing gay people.
The real question is: When will “Christians” denounce these pastors and this hate speech?
