Default Re: Reading the Bible does not Give us the Spirit

Let me illustrate by way of analogy. I'm sure most of you have heard of Westboro Baptist Church, the infamous "church" which was led by its late leader, Fred Phelps, into a spirit of hate, exhibited by his catchphrase "God hates fags." Westboroans would do things like picket the funerals of fallen soldiers and mock them for dying for evil America.

Here is the slogan from the Westboro website:

"God hates fags. God hates fag-enablers. Therefore, God hates america and this doomed world."

Phelps died a couple of years ago. He maintained his arrogant assurance to his grave. But as repulsive as his stance was, there was a certain logic to it. Logic, but ultimately such a twisted logic that calling him anti-Christ is not much of a stretch.

I'm sure some think their condemnation of "Christianity" and "division" is logical and justifiable, as Phelps did.

Just be careful you don't fall into his spirit.
