GREENSBURG, Ind. An Indiana church is on lock down and its pastor has left for an undisclosed location after a video recording surfaced this week of a toddler singing an anti-gay song at the church altar, that included the lyrics, Aint no homo going to make it to heaven.
Pastor Jeff Sengl and wife Julie
Members of the Apostolic Truth Tabernacle Church in Greensburg, Ind., on Wednesday told media outlets that the churchs office has been receiving harassing calls and its pastor received death threats at his home since the video was posted on several LGBT blogs and subsequently went viral.
Sengl should be deeply ashamed (but he isn't). But death threats? Fahcryin out loud.
Update: "To my knowledge, there are no death threats at this time, Decatur County Sheriff Gregory Allen told Fox News on Thursday.
Allen said that Sangl, who has left town and could not be reached for comment, contacted the department and asked him to keep an eye on the churchs property following the surfacing of the video. "

(1,326 posts)A Pastor should be familiar with Galatians 6: 7- "For whatever a man sows, he shall also reap". Preach hate? Well then don't go crying when hate comes back towards you. May this "Pastor" never lead another church again.

I bet this pastor guy doesn't sleep so well tonight. I bet his church is not holding a service with him in 60 hours, on Sunday morning this weekend.

Glitterbomb, I'd believe. Death threat? Not s'much.

But, the cheers they gave that little boy certainly shows the hate in that church, the adults are a lost cause. I am worried about that little boy. Could teaching such hate to the child be considered child abuse?

(325 posts)All those homosexuals and lesbians now ( supposedly or imaginatively) threatening the life of someone who stood up there for the 3000 year old fable in the Holy Bible.
Christians are so persecuted these days. Really terrible how Christians cannot be left alone to preach their messages of hate and teach it to 4 year olds. This is intolerance of intolerance, I tell you. Shameful how the gay folks want all that respect and equal rights. Who do they think they are?
