Culture Texas pastor says gay people should be 'shot in the back of the head' in shocking sermon - Pastor Dillon Awes of Stedfast Baptist Church in Watauga said gay people "are dangerous to society” and “all homosexuals are pedophiles.”

A Texas baptist church — labeled an "anti-LGBT hate group" by the Southern Poverty Law Center — has caused outrage after a pastor said gay people should be "lined up against the wall and shot in the back of the head."

Pastor Dillon Awes of Stedfast Baptist Church in Watauga, a suburb of Fort Worth, made the comment and other controversial remarks during a Sunday morning sermon titled "Why We Won’t Shut Up."

"I’m angry this morning because our entire country is celebrating the worse sin in the Bible," Awes said during the sermon referring to Pride Month, which commemorates the LGBTQ+ community every June.

"You know a lot of pastors have this stupid idea where it’s just like, 'oh you know God loves everyone. And God hates the sin but loves the sinner.' But people have taken this to such an extreme where they’re saying celebrate the sin, not just tolerate it, celebrate it," he continued. "Let me show what the Bible says about these people."

Awes read several passages from the Bible and condemned homosexuality as a sin. At one point, he told the congregation that gay people "are dangerous to society" and said that "all homosexuals are pedophiles."

"I’m not saying that every single homosexual that’s alive right now has committed that act with a child already because it could be they haven’t had the opportunity yet and they will at some point later in their life," he said. "This is why we need to put these people to death through the proper channels of the government. ... These people are not normal. They’re not your average everyday sinners. ... They have no hope of salvation."

At certain times during the sermon people from the crowd could be heard cheering in agreement. Awes told the room that he thinks the "solution for the homosexual in 2022" is the death penalty.

"These people should be put to death. Every single homosexual in our country should be charged with a crime. The abomination of homosexuality that they have, they should be convicted in a lawful trial. They should be sentenced with death. They should be lined up against the wall and shot in the back of the head," he said.

Many people on social media criticized the pastor with some labeling his remarks as a violent threat to the community.

Yawn. Dallas Pride occurs every year and is probably coming up. If it's God's law that faggots should be executed then you would not need to rely on the sinful government.

You Would Do It.

P.S. Dallas Pride has passed but Houston Pride is coming up. Here is your CHANCE!

-For those of you that don't know, I am a faggot myself. This is obviously an attempt to call him a chicken shit. I am not encouraging a mass shootings, I thought my use of gifs calling him an Internet tough guy and Arnold gif would be enough but alas-

No need to send your B team from the Coeur d'Alene resident agency, Fed Boys!

I was on board until he got to the solution phase. We shouldn't be celebrating sin and the people who tell us that we should need to be stuffed back into the closet they crawled out of, but killing people before we prove they're pedophiles is a bad precedent.

Lol why is it always the Baptists

Because the Baptists are the most repressed. I mean, they're Protestants, honey, no one said they were rational.

That being said, the fact that this IS Baptists shouldn't surprise anyone. They're far more strict than a lot of the other denominations. Methodists are far more chill. Catholics tend to prefer to silently judge you from a distance as long as you're not fucking with their shit. Out of all the Christian denominations most are familiar with, Baptists are the most fucked (I believe the Westburo's were Baptists, so that should explain a lot). They tend to be the most self righteous, they're the most judgemental, and if you ever need help with anything, you can't count on them for shit, so they're like typical Leftists.

I hate to agree with Pol Pot, but I find myself sympathizing with his quote "To keep you is no benefit, to destroy you is no loss." Faggots bring nothing to societies table.

Lol why is it always the Baptists

Baptist churches are autonomous. This one is Independent Fundamentalist Baptist, it's not even part of a convention like the SBC. Anyone can be a Baptist pastor as long as you can find some deacons and a kiddie pool.

This one looks media-savvy. They have documentaries:

The Sodomite Deception

This documentary focuses on the historical perspective of sodomy and the consequences it has on society. The United States has dramatically shifted its view from the death penalty to “Drag Queen Story Hour,” while the Bible has remained unchanged. The sharp moral decline in modern America can be attributed to a severe lack of knowledge and fear of the Lord. We need Christians to be STEDFAST against this evil agenda by not being ashamed of Christ’s words. (Mark 8:3

After the Tribulation
Satan is working behind the scenes to set up a one world government and one world religion in preparation for the Antichrist. He has also deceived modern evangelical Christians into believing that they will be removed from this earth before the great tribulation takes place. This doctrine, known as the pre-tribulation rapture, teaches that Christ may return at any moment, and that there will be no signs of his coming. As a result of this deception, most Christians are completely unprepared for what the Bible has warned us is coming.
In this hard-hitting documentary, film-maker Paul Wittenberger (What in the World are They Spraying? and The Great Culling), Pastor Steven L Anderson, Pastor Roger Jimenez, and creation scientist Kent Hovind, prove from the King James Bible that the rapture will take place AFTER THE TRIBULATION but before God pours out his wrath upon this earth. They also expose Satan’s plans for a global government and new world order.

Psychopath Reprobates
This film examines the condition of psychopathy through the lenses of God’s word. Produced by Verity Baptist Church, “Psychopath Reprobates” demonstrates that scripture explains what the medical industry has no answer for: Where do mentally insane psychopaths come from and why can’t they be cured? The documentary spotlights several famous psychopaths, explains the different ways psychopathy manifests, and how psychopathic tendencies align perfectly with the attributes of a “reprobate” described in Romans 1.

Babylon USA

“New World Order” is the term we use to describe the one-world government and one world religion that the Bible predicts in Revelation 13. However, there is nothing new about the push for a one-world system. The idea goes all the way back to the Tower of Babel and the empire of Babylon. For years, many theologians have wrongly taught that the United States is not mentioned in Bible prophecy. This new film, Babylon USA, will demonstrate that the United States is the key player in creating the New World Order that will put the Antichrist into power.


New World Order Bible Versions
Satan is working behind the scenes to bring about a global government and one world religion. Part of his plan is to convince Christians to turn in their King James Bibles for “new and improved” versions that have been systematically corrupted to advance a New World Order. Once God’s people have been disarmed of their spiritual weapon, they will be powerless to stand against it.
This compelling documentary explores the rich textual history of the King James Bible and exposes the corrupt origins of the modern versions. Find out why the King James Bible is consistent with all previous English translations, while the modern versions are all dramatically different. The changes being made in the modern versions are not incidental. They are part of a satanic agenda to undermine key Biblical teachings and prepare the population for an all-inclusive one world religion.


Marching to Zion

For over 1800 years, the Jews were scattered throughout all nations without a homeland. Then in 1948, the impossible happened. The State of Israel was founded, and the Jews once again possessed the promised land. Many Christians have proclaimed this to be a miracle and a blessing from God, but was this really the blessing of the Lord, or were darker forces at work? This film has the answer.
From the makers of After the Tribulation and New World Order Bible Versions, this groundbreaking documentary traces the history of the Jewish people from the destruction of the temple in A.D. 70 to the founding of the modern-day nation of Israel in 1948. Biblical evidence is examined as well as history, cutting-edge DNA science, mathematics, and testimony from pastors and rabbis to settle once and for all one of the most controversial questions of all time: Who are God’s chosen people?


AIDS: The Judgment of God


Did you know that AIDS was originally known as GRID: Gay-Related Immune Deficiency? The name was quickly changed to the more politically correct term “AIDS” or “Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome.” But the fact remains that the AIDS epidemic was originally the result of abominations commited by homosexuals, or what the Bible calls “sodomites”. The media has convinced most Americans that homosexuality is a harmless alternative lifestyle, but nothing could be further from the truth, and this film will prove it.

Baptist is a broad term, arguably broader than the term "protestant". But if you didn't know that, you probably didn't know much about baptists. Best tell that someone doesn't know shit about Christianity is saying they "grew up with it", IE their parents forced them to attend Sunday Service at 10:45 AM while they zoned out and gazed at the floor.

Most (if you don't count SBC) are autonomous independent churches. Some in particular, like this one, claim they're not even protestant because the word protestant holds connotation that implies some, however distant, connection to the Catholic Church.

Stedfast Baptist is an NIFB church. They follow the text of the Bible (specifically the King James Version) and nothing more. This denomination states (correctly, imo) that ceremonial/sacrificial laws of the old covenant are done away with, but God's moral law is forever. Homosexuality in the Bible is indeed punishable by death. He's not issuing a threat here, just that simple matter of fact. The Bible states that. It's an abomination, something evident of reprobation and complete distancing from God. Even if you argued against the OT, it's even covered in the NT.

 

[Mariposa Electrique]

I like this guy.

 

[Zero Day Defense]

Because the Baptists are the most repressed. I mean, they're Protestants, honey, no one said they were rational.

It's the Baptist tradition that generated the Christian equivalent of WE WUZ KANGS.

Well, the most galling example I can think of, anyways.

No, I don't know why this is numbered to the year 2000. At any rate, the East-West schism and its consequences have been a disaster for western Christendom.

They follow the text of the Bible (specifically the King James Version) and nothing more.

...don't mind me, I'm just thinking about Luther and Zwingli shoving Bibles in each other's faces, compelling the other to read because they can't come to a consensus about the Eucharist.

It's worth mentioning that the death penalties described in the OT weren't consistently carried out given mercy, not at all unlike how we don't sentence all our convicted murderers to death (also see the Pericope Adulterae in the Gospel of John). The prescription for the penalty can at once be seen as a "maximum punishment", and also as a demonstration of the gravity of those sins.

It's definitely worth mentioning that our conception of homosexuality is about two centuries old. There's no such thing as "being gay before then, much less when the Mosaic law is being established-- there's only having sex with a man. You can only be punished for actually having the sex, not merely having a sexual attraction to men.

Indeed, he's not making a threat. However, the pastor is still doubly incorrect-- not only does he import a modernism into the past, he (as a human being and pastor, no less) asserts that there are those so beyond salvation that there's nothing left to do but to kill them.
