The Westboro Baptist Church has announced plans to picket Whitney Houston’s funeral, set to take place in her native Newark, N.J. Saturday, one week after her death.
“Yay! 2 pickets in NJ-Whitney Houston funeral & [legislature],” Margie Phelps, daughter of church pastor Fred Phelps, tweeted this week.
The controversial Topeka, Kansas-based “church” is known for picketing the funerals of soldiers, celebrities and gays. According to the Christian Post, it‘s unclear why exactly the church would target Houston’s funeral: she was Christian and grew up attending church in Newark.
But in a separate tweet, Margie Phelps referred to Houston as a “gay icon.” She also posted a picture of a sign church members will presumably carry, reading “Whitney in hell” and depicting her smoking a small pipe, a reference to her drug addiction past.
Ahead of Houston’s funeral, members of the church released their own rendition of Houston’s famous song “I Will Always Love You,“ titled ”God Will Always Hate You.”
Listen below (lyrics follow):
If you had obeyed, you would not be in those flames
Now you know, that it’s so, God hated you every step of your wayAnd God will always hate you – ooh! Oh Whitney, He hates you
Now you, you druggie you,
MhhhhAll your sins’ memories, that is what you left all to see
It’s too late, at 48
Now you can’t tell others to heedCuz God will always hate you
Oh Whitney, He hates you
(Musical interlude.)
Your God treated you kind
Gave your voice, a talent to use
And you played the whore, with filthiness But above all this, our signs you refused And God will always hate youHe will always hate you
Whitney you know He hates you
He will always hate you!
He will always hate you!
He will always hate you! You!
Druggie, He hates you
He will always, He will always hate you- ooh-ooh
As the Post pointed out, the Westboro Baptist Church has not always followed through in picketing every funeral they announced they would attend.

Posted on February 17, 2012 at 5:36pmIs is such a shame, that those of the Westboro Baptist Church, feel, that they can be judge and jury regarding God’s Kingdom. The Bible states, that we will all stand in judgement and that includes EVERYONE!, even all of you at the Westboro Baptist Church. My God, is love and least any of you forget, God said “we are all sinners and have fallen short of His glory” I just wish, you wouldn’t claim that you are affiliated with any church denomination. When satan was looking for workers, he must have chosen you, because I see nothing but HATRED AND RIDICULE THE NAME OF GOD. You all need to pray, that you will not be condemned to HELLS flames, because the course that you are on, I suggest to drink plenty of water. We need to pray for these deceived people..

Posted on February 17, 2012 at 9:43pmThese people are pathetic. They embody everything the non believing world dislikes about Christians and it is sad how much press coverage they are giving to the enemy all in the name of God…incidentally, how can God hate any of His own children? God is love and light and in Him is no darkness at all. The hearts of the Westboro church people are desparately darkened by the demonically driven heart of their leader; one can ask, “do they really know God since they display no characteristics of the Father?” I disdain to call Phelps ‘pastor’ because biblically that means shepherd. No one in their right mind would follow his ‘leadership’ because he is headed off a cliff.
Report Post »There is no evidence of love in these people; they hide behind the twisted scriptures and “private” interpretation of them provided by Phelps and his offspring. I would much rather hang out with the people the Westbor-ites have targeted than to be numbered with these counterfeit christians.

As a Christian, I don’t identify myself with these lunatics.
As far as ‘love the sinner, hate the sin’, Jesus told us to ‘love thy neighbor as thyself’. By ‘hating’ someone, you are judging them. Their behavior is another matter. When your wife gets drunk, or husband, or whatever it is that passes for your spouse(dog?), gets drunk, and their behavior is reprehensible, do you hate them? Or just the behavior? Or the alcohol/drugs(illegal or prescribed) that caused such behavior? Jesus never said to love one’s behavior. Learn to discern.

It‘s a struggle to always do what’s right; we all sin every day of our lives but God doesn’t HATE anyone. He loves us in spite of our frailties and shortcomings. He is constantly drawing us back to Him. Whitney Houston was ill, and somehow I believe God takes that into consideration. No one knows what her last moments were like.

I agree, the Bible states this is correct and even names the place they will go, it is called HELL-
All from Matthew chapter 7.
Judge not, that ye be not judged. For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again.
Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets.
Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.
Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? And then will I profess unto them, I NEVER KNEW YOU, DEPART FROM ME, ye THAT WORK INIQUITY.
And from James chapter 1
If anyone considers himself religious and yet does not keep a tight rein on his tongue, he DECEIVES HIMSELF and HIS RELIGION IS WORTHLESS.

But when “someone’s life is changed“ or a group ”helps out those in need”, I see no reason to lay it in the lap of anyone other than the people who acted, personally. Even if they did this out of an obligation or “love of god”, it was still them who got up that morning and made a choice to change either THEIR life, or the life of another.
To that, . . . . it is a good aspect.

Posted on February 17, 2012 at 4:22pmYou must repent your sins directly to Christ Jesus to be saved from them, God will forgive, forget if you will. Wait not until judgement day, by then it’s too late, therefore, settle out of court, come to Christ now.
Are you saved? If you were to die today, will you go to Heaven?

Posted on February 17, 2012 at 4:24pmWhat’s your point? Is fear your only way to get people into your church? Not at all convincing.

I don’t believe he was asking anyone to join a church. He’s trying to get them saved. You will answer for your sins one day my friend. It‘s not fear but compassion that he’s expressing to you.
If God was compassionate enough to die for your sins and mine, it’s a fearful thing to spit in His face in unbelief!

Posted on February 17, 2012 at 5:06pmI haven’t “spit in anyone’s face”. That person would have to come to me personally for me to do that. Even then, it isn’t in me to do that.
Rejecting what people SAY some deity is going to do is different then “spitting in an unknown deities . . . ‘face’. . . “, assuming it had a “face” to actually spit on. I can tell you that the aspect of FEAR is definitely one of the main factors in people “getting saved” [and a person actually is being saved FROM the very entity that will torture them in hell, if they do not accept it]. I know you will say, “no, you through yourself into hell” [or something along those lines], but that is an absurd comment that some christians make.
Now, THIS story is about the issue of Westboro Baptist Church. For the most part, they aren’t far off from some of the more evangelic denominations. They get a lot of attention because they use their signs, bring them out at funerals, and say that “god hates _______”. Fill in the blank. It isn’t out of the question for the biblical god to “hate someone”. They just go to that “in your face” type of shock value that other churches don’t, . . . but it is still the same “fear of hell”.

Posted on February 18, 2012 at 10:07amtruthsense, . . . I saw no question. What I DID see is a bunch of baseless claims that are supposed to induce fear in the hearer to think, . . . “boy, I’d better accept this Jesus, or else”. Hardly convincing, and extremely immoral.

Posted on February 18, 2012 at 3:47pm@Cesium: Of course I don’t see Jews doing it. They don’t believe in Jesus Christ. Also, this is a more or less conservative Christian news site. What did you expect? You must walk into car dealerships and ask them where the frozen food section is.

Posted on February 17, 2012 at 4:24pmIt’s not christian. The fact that you would even ask that is a bit puzzling. I’ll assume that was a hypothetical question. These people are a crazy left wing cult. They are satanic in nature and completely go against God’s commandments and the doctrine of Jesus Christ and His apostles.

Posted on February 17, 2012 at 4:30pmThe are not Christians in my opinion. Their behavior does not in any way depict Christianity. It isn’t the first time that people who called themselves Christians utterly failed to live up to the name, but they so badly portray Christians that I sometimes wonder if they aren’t left wingers in disguise whose goal is to taint the name and marginalize Christians who have legitimate concerns and valid opinions based on knowledge about some of the social issues in our country at the moment. Frankly, I wish they would sit down and be quiet. They’re not helping anybody. They serve only themselves.

Posted on February 17, 2012 at 4:30pmThe only thing I know is that the group is against same-sex marriage and the leader of the church was apart of the Civil Rights movement. What I was trying to say is that church paints an ugly picture of the Christian religion. A good example will be Islamic terrorist groups who paint an ugly picture of Islam. I know a lot of the Christian faith. There are good Christians and there are bad Christians. Christians need to stand up to these butt clowns!

Posted on February 17, 2012 at 6:42pmThey’re not far right… they’re Democrats. These people aren’t even Christian. They‘re a hate group that’s out there to foster just that kind of feeling towards Christians. They want people to hate all Christians so they do this so that they can get small minded, under educated people to paint all Christians with that same broad brush.
Report Post »They IN NO WAY preach what I believe. Love the sinner, hate the sin. Love your enemy, pray for those that spitefully use you.
I’ve been praying for these people and their children for years. My heart grieves over the hatred that is being instilled in those little ones. And that‘s where they’re gonna get nailed, I believe ( my opinion of course ). Anyone that turns a child’s heart to hatred has damaged one of His little ones. And it would be better for them to have a millstone tied around their neck and be dropped in the sea than to harm one of his innocent ones.
Do some research, man… don’t just hate us all, because you’d be falling into the trap that they want you in..
