Killing Gays is Doing God's Good Work? An Open Letter About the Trial of Aaron McKinney for the Killing of Matthew Sheppard (sic) in Laramie, Wy. Subtitle: God Will Not Change His Word
Q&A #2070 in my book, What God Says Now, reads this way: "Suppose a person killed a homosexual. Would he be guilty of shedding innocent blood?" The quick answer is NO. Explanation: "The homosexual is guilty before God by virtue of his abominable acts and is already under a judgment of death (Rom. 1:32). The blood of the person would be upon himself or herself (Lev. 20:13). However, individual persons are not encouraged to execute homosexuals. That responsibility is placed upon the 'ruling elders' or the state." What God Says Now explains also God is against the gay lifestyle because a man desecrates the Life Spirit he carries in his sperm when he places it in an unclean vessel. Aaron McKinney is only guilty perhaps of manslaughter, assault and battery, not murder worthy of death. I have no doubt he was under evil influence if he did the deed. I say he was not fully aware of what he was doing. I have tired to get through to his defense attorneys, but have not heard from them. In a way, all Americans are guilty of Matthew Sheppard's (sic) death. We have not told gays the real truth. Churches are not doing their job. Our federal government is encouraging gays to stay under the Satanic affliction rather than repenting, resisting and coming free. That makes all of us worthy of the same death penalty (Rom. 1:32). I have found in working with gays and hearing them explain their feelings the affliction of homosexuality is so integrated into their homonal (sic) makeup it is very hard to resist (James 4:7) and get free. But, it is possible. Men are breaking free of the affliction and coming around to a normal lifestyle and getting from under the death penalty. We must, beyond any doubt, encourage men to break free. Whatever is done to Aaron McKinney will not stop the killing. Other killings will happen if we ignore and don't believe the truth. We can reduce the number of incidents by getting this frank and truthful information out to gays: GOD WILL NOT CHANGE HIS WORD.
Pray, talk, write, donate. Help me get the word out that talk in favor of gays won't change God's death penalty. I call especially on parents of teenagers and young people. Help me distribute this tract. Order 100 copies and hand them out to family and friends. Speaking up for gays won't change God's Word. Let's band together and get that message out. We can head off the affliction and save many young people, perhaps your son or daughter, brother, sister or friend. Make donations in favor of the church. Rev.

Editor's Note: GayToday recommends against sending any donations to the Rev. Edmond Locklear, Jr., who foolishly sanctions murder. Illegal Aid to Churches through the 'Fathers Count Act' Proposed federal legislation designed to boost fathers' parenting skills and help low-income families stay off welfare is fundamentally flawed because it directs taxpayer money to religious groups.
"Fathers count, but so does the Constitution. Promoting strong families is a good thing but forcing taxpayers to support religious institutions against their will is not. We take issue with a provision in H.R. 3073 requiring that at least 75 percent of the "fatherhood grants" in the bill be awarded to "non-governmental (including faith-based) organizations." The bill contains inadequate church-state safeguards to ensure that houses of worship don't spend federal money to advance their sectarian beliefs. It also permits religious groups to take government money and still discriminate in hiring. Taxpayer money should not be used to advance religious proselytism or finance religious discrimination. For all concerned, it's best that houses of worship rely on private donations to fund their social service projects.

It was bad enough when crazy ol' Fred Phelps (top left) showed up at Aaron McKinney's (left) trial for the murder of Matthew Shepard. Now another zealot's chiming in and trying to cash in
