Yes, you read that right. A Cop/preacher , from the pulpit said that he wanted to execute all Gay people. "They are worthy of death," Grayson Fritts said in a June 2 sermon at All Scripture Baptist Church, a small church in Knoxville that he leads.

Granted, this is an extreme case, but I think this is a more commonly held notion by the intensely "religious". This is also unsettling in that Fritts is employed in the Sheriff's Department. He is quoted as saying about Gays, "We have a bunch of them we're going to get convicted because they have all their pride junk on, and they're professing what they are, that they're a filthy animal."

Maybe Fritts is something out of the Deep South's 1952 past, but do you think there's a place for him in 2019?

Absolutely not! He should be fired from his job immediately and be ostracized by his peers. There are too many bigoted and psycho idiots in the world already. Having this extremist gun-toting homophobe "enforcing" the law is an affront to his community.

There's a lot of them down there in the bible belt as well as other places. Extremists, fundamentalists, mentally impaired. They can think what they want, but better not put those thoughts into action.

  • A Tennessee Cracker Barrel has told an anti-LGBTQ pastor he and his church are not welcome there.
  • Grayson Fritts had planned a church gathering at a Cleveland, Tennessee Cracker Barrel.
  • The company has "zero tolerance" for discrimination and harassment, it says.
  • Fritts is a Knox County Sheriff's Office detective, although he's no longer on active duty and is taking an early buyout.
 
.

Apparently he is a Bible-believing preacher. Not many of those around these days..

Bible law mandates sodomites be executed - Leviticus 20:13

God did execute Sodom and Gomorrah and other surrounding cities.

Btw... in Luke 17, Jesus refers to the evil end of the age as a repeat of the "days of Noah" and "days of Lot" [Lot lived in Sodom.]

Also in Luke 17, Jesus makes the analogy between the fire from heaven that destroyed Sodom to His own second coming.

In Canada, he would be fired, then indicted. Ostracised. Homophobes not welcome in Canada, at the least he would be facing hate speech charges, possibly more if deemed a possible threat toward the queer community. He creeps me out.
 
As an atheist, I'm not really up on my Biblical studies.
So, as Kings X indicates, sodomites are mandated by God to be executed.
So I guess by strict interpretation of Biblical Law, the Law supposedly handed down from GOD; those who DO NOT execute sodomites are sinners, and thus condemned to hell for their sins?

God's Biblical law also requires the testimony of at least two witnesses.

That's why God sent two angels to Sodom before it was destroyed.

You need not worry about sodomites being executed per God's law by secular governments here at the evil end of the age.

The irony is... this world order becoming another Sodom is a huge sign that Jesus' second coming is near.

In Luke 17, Jesus said the end of the age would be a repeat of the "days of Noah" and "days of Lot" [Lot lived in Sodom.] Jesus also said His second coming would be like the fire from heaven that destroyed Sodom.

Another irony... in Genesis 9, the rainbow is God's special sign given to Noah promising God will never again destroy via water. In Matthew 24, God's special sign [rainbow] heralds Jesus' second coming. The watery green/blue/purple colors of the rainbow symbolize the "days of Noah"... the fiery yellow/orange/red colors symbolize the "days of Lot."
 
Hey, the Bible mandates death as a punishment for not observing the Sabbath. And lots of other sins as well.

This detective/preacher sounds like an extremely mentally ill person to me. It's the "detective" part that has me kind of worried. I assume he walks around armed.

Sheesh.

Absolutely. This type of thing sickens. Nobody would be able to run a successful business with that mentality here in Canada. We are all for tolerance and acceptance for all as long as you aren’t intentionally hurting anyone.

In Old Testament It was also acceptable for patriarch to kill his minor children if they offended him, be polygamous, have slaves.

Really?
One of the main reasons I’ve never finished reading the bible is that I find it so full of violence and controversy.
It’s not really PG rated.
 
Don't bother to change the person at the pulpit rather the followers who are simply looking for an answer. If it weren't for followers dictators would be driving taxis.
 
Keesha, yes, really, believe it or not! Here it is, in Exodus 31:14.

Ye shall keep the sabbath therefore; for it is holy unto you: every one that defileth it shall surely be put to death: for whosoever doeth any work therein, that soul shall be cut off from among his people.

But yet if there were no "man made" writings of him.....would you know of him? have belief in him?

Do not know how you could, but perhaps you know better than I ?

This and the comment by FuzzyBuddy in post # 9 are exactly why I was never able to wrap my mind around religion period. And of course as such the teachings of it.

You know Sunny, I don’t understand why religion is so against homosexuality yet the bible is FULL of perverted scriptures.
It doesn’t surprise me too much since it was written so long ago but to keep believing this stuff is mind blowing. Seriously?


Note: my apologies if I’m taking fuzzybuddy’s thread off track but check out these scriptures. They are filed with violence and perversion.


Samual 6:19-mass murder?
And he smote the men Bethshemesh
because they had looked into the art of the Lord, he even smote the people fifty thousand and three score and ten men ( 50,070 )

II Kings 6:28-29... Cannabism?
And the king said unto her , what aileth thee?
And she answered , this woman said unto me,
Give my son , that we may eat him today and we will eat my son tomorrow. So we boiled my son and did eat him and I said unto her on the next day, give thy son that we may eat him: and she hath hid her son.


Genesis 19:31-36.... incest?
And the elder said to the younger , our father is old and there is no man left on earth to come in unto us after the manner of the whole earth. Come, let us make him drunk with wine and let us lie with him that we may preserve seed of our father. And they made their father drink wine that night : and the elder went in and lay with her father but he perceived not neither when she lay down nor when she rose up. And the next day the elder said to the younger, Behold I lay last night with my father , let us make him drink wine also tonight and thou shall lie with him that we may save seed if our father. They made their father drink wine that night also and the younger daughter went in and lay with him and neither then did he perceive when she lay down or when she rise up. So the two daughters with Lot were with child by their father.


II Kings incestuous rape ?
And when she presented the meat he took hold of her and said: Come lie with me my sister . She answered him , do not so my brother , do not force me ; for no such thing must be done in Israel . Do not thou this folly
II Kings 13-14 .... but he would not hearken her prayers but being strong overpowered her and lay with her.


Peter 2:18 .... perversity and human trafficking condoned
Slaves must be subject to your masters with all reverence not only to those who are good and equitable but also to those who are perverse.


Exodus 21:7-8 ..... Sex Slavery condoned
When a man sells his daughter as a slave, she will not be freed at the end of six years as the men are. If she dies not please the man who bought her , he may allow her to be bought back.


Deuteronomy 25:11-1
If two men are fighting and the wife of one of them comes to rescue her husband from assailant and she reaches out and seizes him by his private parts , you shall cut off her hand. Show her no pity.


What???

I’ll just comment on this one text, as, well, I’m lazy


It’s pretty basic stuff
He was leading His people out of Egypt, where they’d adopted some mighty strange customs.
I woulda killed ‘em all and started from scratch

But

The Creator has much more patience than me


He worked with them, where they were

But

Had to get their attention

God ain’t no wuss

I believe there's a place for everyone in 2019; isn't that what all the social outrage is about?
