That's not the unforgivable sin.

The unforgivable sin is attributing evil deeds to the Holy Spirit, or good deeds to demons.

I did not say what the unforgivable sin was. You evade the facts of what the Scriptures I posted actually addressed. There were three points made on the panel of post #46, and all of them refuted your thinking on this matter.

If you preach the gospel, those who believe will want to repent because of the new birth. You are doing nothing more than aggravating people who are bound by sin and cannot believe or repent unless first saved.

But they would argue that they do love people, because they're warning them that their sin is taking them to hell.

They may not express love in the same way we would, but having watched hours and hours of content on them, I truly believe that they believe they're doing the right thing.

There is a saying
"The path to hell is paved in good intentions."

Jesus set the example.
Love does not hate fully scream at grieving people.

I've gone around in circles with somebody else already, and I'm not going to do the same with you.

We should not judge, but we should warn others against their sin:

Thanks for your response Dino, always appreciate your input, along with anybody else's.

I agree with what you said, but that principle applies to all Churches.

For example:
- You and I might say that the hyper-calvinism of Westboro is incorrect, but that they are correct on, say, homosexuality or divorce+remarriage=adultery.
- On the other hand Westboro might argue that other Churches have gone soft on some issues.

Their railing are based on legalism.
Legalists are most always nasty people

Westboro is a bunch of wackos. Protesting dead soldiers funerals is horrible. I mean how evil can you get. Showing up to someone's funeral while their family is grieving and chanting out that the deceased was a sinner and going to hell because they fought for their country and all of our rights.

Looking for the good in Westboro would be like looking for the good in the KKK. It just ain't there and it ain't of God no matter how much they chant it....

Wow. You sure are judgmental even in here.

Who made you my judge?

You read your bible


1 cor 5:
9 I wrote to you in my epistle not to [f]keep company with sexually immoral people. 10 Yet I certainly did not mean with the sexually immoral people of this world, or with the covetous, or extortioners, or idolaters, since then you would need to go out of the world. 11 But now I have written to you not to keep company with anyone named a brother, who is sexually immoral, or covetous, or an idolater, or a reviler, or a drunkard, or an extortioner—not even to eat with such a person.

12 For what have I to do with judging those also who are outside? Do you not judge those who are inside? 13 But those who are outside God judges.

If you want to call me judgemental just because I won't write out paragraphs and paragraphs of text rather than just providing you with a link, then so be it.

Have a blessed day :)

Lead them to Jesus and if they understand the core of salvation (walking with Jesus and the baptism in the Holy Spirit) they will develop an intimacy.
If they should sin,it will break their heart.

Railing non stop about the sin of others is way,way off.

As a relatively new Christian, I'd like to ask if Westboro Baptist Church are false teachers?
Click to expand...
Whether or not their teachings are false, they have been involved with some harmful activities. It would be best to avoid this kind of church.

Yes, we are even warned to take the plank out of our eye before we try to remove the spec from a brother or sisters eye..

But to try to judge a non believer for a personal sin? We need to judge self first and that's a lifetime event

Again, you're conflating warning people of their sins with judging people on their sins.
You just don't read your Bible, will you...

i am talking about doing what Westbpro is doing

which is not in scripture.. they are judging people

you can warn people about being a sinner, with out judging them for a personal sin

and stop telling me to read my Bible, it arrogant

there I am warning you about one of your sins. How does it feel?
