When asked to respond to Falco's inflammatory remarks, the church said in a statement that the preacher was "only calling for the death penalty and suicide for the actual sodomites (homosexuals). The Bible teaches that those people are worthy of death. They are supposed to be executed by the government. We are not to take the law into our own hands."

This is the "reserved" and "compromise" position in their eyes.

From the Passion narrative according to John (John 18)

29 So Pilate came out to them and asked, “What charges are you bringing against this man?”

30 “If he were not a criminal,” they replied, “we would not have handed him over to you.”

31 Pilate said, “Take him yourselves and judge him by your own law.”

“But we have no right to execute anyone,” they objected.

Literally the exact same method that the Jewish religious authorities used to try to convince the Romans to execute Jesus because they weren't allowed to execute people.

(Note: this is not meant to be antisemitic, just contextual, though the Jews' role in the execution of Jesus has been and is still used to justify antisemitism)

Other Christians don't care for them. From their google reviews:

This church is nothing more than a cult disguised as Christianity. They don’t preach the gospel—they preach fear, control, and manipulation. Instead of leading people to Christ, they demand blind loyalty to their leadership, excommunicate anyone who questions them, and tear down other churches rather than spreading love and grace.

Their toxic, legalistic teachings distort salvation, pushing a works-based doctrine that contradicts Ephesians 2:8-9. They divide families, encouraging members to cut off anyone who doesn’t conform. Instead of strengthening faith, they use spiritual abuse to control people. If you’re looking for a real church that follows Jesus, stay far away from this place.

10

One Christian criticizing another is just typical inter-sect conflict found in most religions. People who are fundamentally kind or fundamentally cruel will both find and interpret passages to support their views. But because it’s “god’s word” they will always refuse to waiver in the face of logic or common sense.

The problem is that all religion provides fertile ground for both extremists and con artists to grow – in this case both.

So that excludes, say, doing a drag number for kids or just being yourself out in public. Might it be applied disproportionately to child rapists who happen to be LGBT? Quite plausibly, sure, but that's not really the subject here.

Keep in mind that these are the small steps they are taking to get to the point where we are afraid to be seen in public.

At first it’s protect children from learning about LGBTQ+ culture by banning education, removing books (they don’t need to burn the books, they just remove ‘em). All in the name of stopping the spread of a radical agenda. Bear in mind we make up around 1-2% of the population in the US.

Then it is banning healthcare for minors, which consists of support, social transition and possibly puberty blockers. This is to protect the children from being “surgically mutilated”. Never mind the fact that children do not receive trans surgical interventions.

Next comes capital punishment for sex crimes against children. For now, it is reserved for physical sexual assaults.

The latest attempt against trans people was banning all trans healthcare for those on Medicaid. Trans patients account for approximately 0.4% of those on Medicaid. Around 276,000 trans people (as of 2022) out of 71,258,215 total people on Medicaid.

It is not much of a stretch to assume that they will continue to attempt to backdoor their way to banning trans health care for all trans Americans.

What’s after that? Classify presenting a trans, but obfuscated as “drag performances”, in any public setting. The public support of these laws has been from the messaging, by successfully equating drag performances with being based upon indecency. This is limited to 2 states at the moment, but the fact that it is illegal anywhere in the country is deeply disturbing.

In my opinion, they will continue to push further and further to make us fear being clocked (caught) in public, by legislating us into criminality. This may seem like a leap, but overall support for trans people has declined in recent years. While the major drops in support revolve around trans athletes and healthcare for minors, these issues are overblown and are used to erode public opinion of us.

TL;DR: The overall outlook for us right now is not good. I don’t expect ya to follow each link, I just wanted to back up my claims with reliable sources.

Let me be clear: I'm completely onboard with you. We probably have similar opinions. I just wanted to see the source for this claim. (That is, the claim that there exists a state which introduced a capital offense that could plausibly be used to target LGBTQ people.)

2

Perhaps I should clarify “intended effect” as it being a thin veil. They can claim they are doing this to protect children from all predators, while simultaneously repeating the groomers line over and over again.

In my opinion, it seems a little too coincidental that they pass this law in a state that has a very hostile anti-LGBTQ+ stance, while also attempting to portray us as child predators.

It’s possible that I am drawing conclusions incorrectly, but I sincerely doubt it.

… Meanwhile these insane religious sects are ignoring all of that and hyperfixating on queer people accusing US of pedophilia and calling for our deaths… while they themselves are participating in pedophile rings that often slaughter children once they age out of being attractive to kiddy fuckers.

Heresy. Full stop. Do not pass go, do not collect $200. That church is run by heretics, and needs to be called out as such.

The red letter texts of Jesus' own teachings take precedent over any conflicting verses, and those teachings say to love thy neighbor as you would yourself.

I seriously hope that church has a nice big flat wall for someone to graffiti.

Well, I hereby urge Trump to execute Stephen Falco, the evangelical preacher with the Sure Foundation Baptist Church. He believes in a demonic version of God that creates LGBT people and them judges them harshly for it. He in fact does not actually worship God, he worships the Devil. And he will burn in Hell for eternity for it. He's therefore a heretic and demon worshiper, and he deserves to be executed for blaspheming the good name of the Creator. I believe the traditional punishment is burning at the stake.

If he can advocate my execution, then I can damn well advocate for his.

Oh please. The bible is explicitly anti-LGBT, and this guy is one of the few people actually following what your disgusting book says.

There's an in-universe argument to be made that the Devil has successfully corrupted the Christian church, its teachings and materials, and has for a long time. It's not a new idea, though contexts have been different.

Not a Christian myself, but I'd see loud propagation of this idea as an interesting counterforce to the current evangelical climate. For those folks who, for whatever reasons, remain Christians but think the outcomes of popular Christianity are fucked, this is a position to fight from.

Anything that bolsters resistance against these particular chucklefucks is a good thing.

Bullshit.

This is a severely christian position and has been for centuries.

You cannot and will not "not true scotsman" christianity away from this.

Edit: if you disagree with me. Tell me.

I'm so willing to learn, but downvotes just tell me you're all clowards.

Jesus was a poor person who hung out with hookers and queers. That's who Jesus really was. Paul can go fuck himself.

meanwhile, my family: "just don't be gay for the next 3 and a half years, we don't need to leave"

... Right, I'm sure they definitely leave office as scheduled and I'm sure with how quickly things are progressing I'll still be around to see them do so. Yep. Definitely. 👍

Ah, that's what that feeling was -- here I thought it was seething rage building up inside me, now I know that was simply my affinity for dick leaving my body.

History has shown that churches such as these often find themselves in ashes after all is said and done. History has shown this.

Tf? No it hasn't. People have been persecuting gays for hundreds of years, and those churches are still going strong. Look at... well, every single church.

It depends on the role of the church in the context of that revolution. The church sided against the people in the 1915, and many were burned. They generally supported the people in Latin American revolutions, so they were burned when the US supported counter revolutionary terrorists like the contras.

Just remember folks, religion isn't spread by the quality of its truth, but rather the quality of its violence.

Remember lol remember when our country used to execute traitors? Ha ha those were the days...

If I'm not being clear: fuck this administration 🖕🤬🖕

They lost steam when Fred Phelps died. Also they became normalized. But largely they were pissing off everyone on purpose. They protested the funerals of both gay people and soldiers

This fucker is deep, deep in the closet. Or he is a full fledge pedophile. He sure does fixated on children alot.

I'll bet that pastor guzzles cum by the gallon behind the gas station at 3:00 a.m.

And again a form of racism is used to make the working class fight each other.

So the guy preaching this is either gay or touching someone's kids. It never fails. Antmyine want to make bets on how long it takes for them to be exposed?

ws:Bible (King James)/Leviticus#Chapter 20

12 And if a man lie with his daughter in law, both of them shall surely be put to death: they have wrought confusion; their blood shall be upon them.

13 If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them.

14 And if a man take a wife and her mother, it is wickedness: they shall be burnt with fire, both he and they; that there be no wickedness among you.

It says nothing about women who have sex with women, or men having sex with men while in a standing (or perhaps seated) position. Also, Leviticus doesn't use the word "homosexual" or "homosexuality" much less condemn it.

This fake-preacher lies about what the Bible says.

Well MY BIBLE says anyone with the sur name Falco was intended to be fertilizer, not a person with rights or opinions.

See how that doesn’t work you heartless moronic ghouls?

I don't think bloodthirsty evangelicals understand that the shedding of blood can go both ways.

If anyone should be shot or exiled, it's hateful prices like this that endanger innocent lives. But no, it's the browns and the trans that are the real danger, apparently.

I will start this out with a disclaimer that I do not follow Christianity at all....

If you are a bible-follower and friendly towards homosexuals, then I guess you're skipping over that part where it says "homosexuality is an abomination".

That's one of the many reasons I can't look to the Bible for guidance. I have some gay friends and they deserve all the love and consideration everyone should get.

To those that say the Bible deserves to be followed, but exclude the parts where it says homosexuality is an abomination, I wonder what other parts you ignore? AFAIK, one isn't supposed to flip through the Bible and pick and choose which sections should be followed.

This is one of the many reasons why I consider the Bible immoral, and following it either immoral or morally and logically inconsistent.
