The most politically incorrect "clergyman" on the planet on his deathbed.

I'm sure he'll find out soon enough if "God hates fαɢs". :furtive:

Fred Phelps, founder of 'rabid' Westboro Baptist Church, said near death

Fred Phelps of Westboro Baptist Church is in a hospice facility, with a son saying he is near death. The son also says Phelps was excommunicated from the virulently antigαy church last year.

Nate Phelps posted the information on Facebook Saturday night, adding the revelation that his father had been excommunicated from the church in 2013. A church spokesman told the Topeka Capitol-Journal that Phelps was indeed in the hospice but that Nate Phelps "is not well informed." The spokesman also refused to comment on the allegation that the elder Mr. Phelps has been excommunicated.

Another son, Mark Phelps, told the Capitol-Journal that its information on his father's health "is accurate."

Fred Phelps established the Westboro Baptist Church in 1955, and in recent years it has become famous for its position that those killed in America's wars are being punished for the country's lenience toward ɧoɱosɛҳųαƖs. Members protested military funerals with signs that read, among other things, "God Hates fαɢs."

The Southern Poverty Law Center, which tracks hate groups :rolleyes:in the United States, says on its website that Westboro "is arguably the most obnoxious and rabid hate group in America. The group is basically a family-based cult of personality built around its patriarch, Fred Phelps."

God hates fαɢɢօtry, not fαɢs. They need to revise their message.

Lord, have mercy on his soul. I've experienced this mans hatred first hand. I hope he gets straight before his death.

Hail Mary..... Pray for us sinners now and at the hour of our death.

I remember reading quotes from saints saying God hates certain sinners. One of these saints was John Chrysostom. I remember reading a quote from him saying that God hates the perfidious Jєωs. Does God hate the souls he sends to hell?

Yes, I know, hate the sin not the sinner.

But what if the "sinner" won't repent or even stop the sinning?

It's kind of like saying God hates pedophilia, not pedophiles.

Sometimes you can't distinguish one from the other.

God does hate, he hates sin doesn't he?

And people too............didn't he "hate" Esau in the O.T.?

:sad:
Since Mr. Phelps also hates the Catholic Church, he'll find himself with the perverts in Hell. Nothing funny about the death of the wicked.

Understood. I remember hearing one time that God will forgive a sin only so many times. Does He then hate the sinner for his obstinance? I don't know.

Did he picket some ɧoɱosɛҳųαƖ family member/friend slain in war? Otherwise I don't know how anyone could "expierence" this guy's hatred.

Don't get me wrong, I still think he's a kook.

Good point. I don't know myself.

Of course there's different depths and degrees in sin such as habit or addiction.

But Obstinacy I believe is one of the sins against the Holy Ghost.

that's a biggie.

Well the article did say he was "excommunicated" for his own church.

Maybe he became a Catholic convert on his deathbed like Constantine the Great. :wink:

He was a vehemently anti-Catholic man, almost violently so.

I wonder why? Perhaps he felt the Church was somehow harboring and protecting all them ɧoɱosɛҳųαƖ pederasts in the parishes? I don't think some Catholics realize how much damage and rage against the Church the queers in cloth have caused over the years.

He picketed a funeral I was at. His "flock" shouted obscenities about "catholic freaks and false prophets and idol worshipers." They also shouted that all Catholics would go to hell. He especially hates priests.
Living in Kansas, running into his ilk at some religious event isn't that unlikely.
