Church stands by call to execute gay people: I will not apologize for preaching the Word of God.

A church leader in Indianapolis is doubling down on a sermon delivered at the Sure Foundation Baptist Church in the states capital city last week that called on gay people to blow yourself in the back of the head, among other incendiary statements.

Church leader Justin Zhong endorsed the remarks delivered by lay pastor Stephen Falco during a Mens Preaching Night service on June 29, including his assertion that, Theres nothing good to be proud about being a f**. You ought to blow yourself in the head in the back of the head. Youre so disgusting.

The church posted the sermon to YouTube, and it was widely denounced by members of the LGBTQ+ community and allies who called the hate-filled screed theologically irresponsible and pastorally dangerous.

YouTube has since removed the video for violating its terms of service. A portion of the sermon was reposted by radio station 93 WIBC Indianapolis.

Why do I hate sodomites, why do I hate f**s? Because they attack children, theyre coming after your children, they are attacking them in schools today, and not only schools in public places, and theyre proud about it! Falco said during the Pride month sermon titled Pray the gay away.

Another man identified in the same video as Brother Wayne followed Falco at the pulpit with a sermon he called Worthy of Being Beaten, according to the Indianapolis Star. He blamed societys moral decline on a lack of discipline and physical punishment, calling beatings a deterrent that have been lost in American culture, while aiming his harshest rhetoric at immigrants and the LGBTQ+ community.

I dont even understand why were deporting these illegal criminals who are murderers, who are doing drug trafficking, sex trafficking, human trafficking. Theyre putting them on a plane, and theyre sending them over to a prison in another country, he said. I say we put them to death right here. I say we beat them right here.

Brother Wayne said of gay people, I think they should be put to death. You know what, Ill go further. I think they should be beaten in public first for all their sick and demented, just [slur] and the things theyre doing to our schools, to our government, to our institutions, to our churches. These people should be beaten and stomped in the mud, and then they should take a gun and blow the back of their heads off.

While not officially associated with the notorious New Independent Fundamental Baptist Church, which has long espoused the death penalty for gay people, Sure Foundation Baptist Church says their pastor, Aaron Thompson, is a new IFB church member from Vancouver, Washington.

Both churches are KJV only, referring to their literal interpretation of the gospel from the King James Bible.

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, said church leader Zhong in Falcos defense.

I will not apologize for preaching the Word of God. I will not apologize for stating facts. I will not negotiate with terrorists, among whom the LGBTHIV crowd is full of domestic terrorists, Zhong said, before citing multiple verses from the Bible to make his churchs case on Facebook.

A sermon by Falco in March even directed ire at Donald Trump for appearing religious to secure political support while having a life of pride, perversion, blasphemy, and mockery of Jesus Christ.

He cited Trumps declaration that he would date his own daughter if they werent related.

Unless Donald Trump gets saved, which I hope he does God will judge him for it and he will go to hell.

In his June sermon, Falco also wished death on former President Joe Biden, whom he described as a wicked reprobate.

I have prayed for the death of former President Biden many times, he boasted.

But Falcos most outlandish and threatening rhetoric was reserved for the LGBTQ+ community, which he shouted down as evil and disgusting.

Allies and activists rallied in the communitys defense, including an association of Black churches and activists.

Such messages are not only theologically irresponsible but pastorally dangerous, faith-based civil rights group Concerned Clergy of Indianapolis said in a statement. The pulpit must never be used as a weapon to dehumanize, isolate, or incite fear.

Equality Indiana called Falcos sermon inflammatory and extremist, saying it could inspire violence against the community.

Dammit, Falco
>_>

I'll blow something, alright

There's more of that Christian love I've heard so much about.

Jesus of the men literally brutally murdering him and spitting on him in laughter
"Father, forgive them!"

Sounds like the leaders of that church need to be arrested.

I bet you'll be sorry when you suffer in underground fire. Of course it'll be too late by then.

This dude is a straight up nut job. He hates everything not Christian which includes Catholics.

I'm gonna go out on a limb here and just assume he's projecting.

Not to stereotype here, but judging by the church leaders surname of Zhong, Id assume hes not a member of the rights ideal race/ethnicity and thus he should be condemning this if only because it rarely ever stops at persecuting the currently targeted group of people and thus its in his best interest to nip this wickedness in the bud before he gets othered.

People who hide behind religion in order to preach hate are some of the scummiest people on the planet.

My guess is Projection on this one. Just can't tell if it's the part about liking guys or the part about attacking children.

Why are more and more people rejecting religion? I just don't get it! /s

Sorry, best we can do is give them tax-exempt status.

Why not both?

Out of all the sins these Christians go after, somehow being gay is the worst ever to them. It's not the lying, the stealing, or any other sin that's accepted and encouraged by the party and politicians they support and those are from the big 10.

They're all so full of shit.

Yea. There's a looooot of self hate vibes here

Mens Preaching Night service

I'm just saying that's ultra sussy

There's media illiteracy and then then there's whatever the fuck this guy thinks is in the Bible.

Killing someone for loving the same sex doesn't seem very Holy to me. What happened to thou shall not kill?

(Aside from the reprehensible homophobia, I thought this was also worth addressing)

Right in the Bible that would fall under lust yet he doesnt call for the people guilty of anger pride, gluttony, envy, sloth or greed to suffer the same punishment?

They're an independent baptist church founded in 2018 because standard baptists weren't crazy enough for them. Fucking psychos.

The majority of Christian groups have problems on LGTB rights but these wackos are not representative of the whole.

So tempted to send that Biblical verse to my dad since he keeps wanting to claim hes a good Christian while defending Donnies war on innocent day laborers for the heinous crime of not being in here the right way.

Unfortunately he already had mini strokes after I got into it with him over Donnie weaponizing Californias National Guard over his ICE jackboots getting stood up to by the citizens of L.A., so my mom will not be happy with me if I stress him out enough to send him back to the emergency room even if its over something that is quite a serious issue right now.

Could this dude be anymore obvious that he is do damn deep in the closet?

Yeah, cause it seems like these guys want for a quick death. The rest of them like their slow torture through conversion therapy and wielding the state to keep them out of public life.

Some of us are ok. Pete married his husband in an Episcopalian church.

There's a lot of churches that are fine with Gay people and pastors that perform Gay weddings, thankfully.

"he said as he worse polyester while eating lobster and observing the Sabbath on the wrong day"

Pointing out contradictions like that has never worked and it isn't going to now, unfortunately.

This group definitely views Jesus' "turn the other cheek" sermon as woke. They're pro-execution and pro-suicide. They have no respect for human life.

I'm guessing he's a power bottom.

God: " I have a golden rule to treat people like you would want to be"

Christians: LOL. LMAO.

Now let's see his browser history

Whats the over/under on this guy having gay skeletons in his closet?

It's like we went back 70 years..

Of course it's a Protestant Baptist Church. The only thing worse than Evangelicals and Pentecostal Christians are the Baptists.

to be fair, their vile religion does say you should hit gay people with rocks until they die.

I know 10 commandments, and not being gay isn't one of them. Not killing people is.

As someone who grew up southern Baptist you are correct

We Falcos do not, in any form, associate with nor condone this rhetoric. We condemn these words and hereby cast out this individual from our organization.

It also says to not judge anyone, and to treat your enemies with kindness. But they conveniently skip over those parts. (Which ironically, are the most important parts according to Jesus himself.)

They think the lessons of the Bible are woke, which really should be tantamount to the same thing

wait are you saying religious people cherry pick?

To be fair it's not a a normal Baptist Church, it's not even a Southern Baptist Church (did the other Baptists ever let them back in over the slavery disagreement?)

Looks like its leader specifically created it in 2018 to hate the gays.

I'm an atheist btw, but let's be fair.

That's the thing with religious organizations - a lot of them call themselves a certain name but you have to look at whom they're actually affiliated with. Anytime you see "independent Baptist" or "non-denominational evangelical" that's when you start sending up some red flags.

No hate quite like Christian "love"
