God Does Not Hate Anyone

Hello this is my first post for this blog, and in this blog I will write about how God is very actively affecting all of our lives.

The first thing I want to talk about is hate.  For the record, God does not hate anyone because it is not in his being to hate.  He understands hate because he created it but God does not hate, and he doesn't hate for a very good reason...He sent his ONLY son to be crucified for the sake of the whole world because he loved us humans so much.  Now if God really hated anyone would he have sacrificed his own blood? The answer is no he wouldn't have. 
Fred Phelps is a prime example of people who claim to understand the bible and christianity more than almost everyone but in reality he has no clue.  He goes around the country protesting things and spreading the false word of God.  He attends funerals of homosexuals holding up signs that says "God hates fags" and he goes to war vets funerals with signs that say "God hates you" because they supported a government war that he doesn't approve of.  Mr. Phelps you must realize one major flaw in all of your work, GOD HATES NO ONE!! Only humans and satan have the capacity to hate.  Sure God wiped the earth clean with flood of wicked people but he did so out of love for us.  He saw the path humans were headed down because Satan had penetrated humans so much then.  Well if God still felt he had to wipe the earth clean of evil again he would do it, he even said he would do it again.  But he hasn't, and don't tell me he has tried because if God wanted to do it he could and there would be no "trying" on his part there would be only doing.  You saying God hates fags is like a teacher saying children eat books... first its just ridiculous and then its ignorant to even accept such a "fact" in the first place.  Mr. Phelps needs to understand that he is preaching hate, which is the work of Satan and it is Satan and ONLY Satan that have instilled hate in his mind and it is ignorant fake christians like him that drove my brother to kill himself yesterday.

Yesterday my older brother, Rob, killed himself.  He was 27 years old, and he was gay.  He wasn't my actual brother but after his family kicked him out for being gay mine took him and he became that older brother figure to me.  If there is anything I learned from him while he was living with us it is that I began to understand homosexuality more.  I was always taught to be accepting of all people no matter what, but to be honest I didn't understand homosexuality.  He opened my eyes and showed me many things.  First thing he taught me is that being gay is not a choice for some, the feeling of attraction and falling in love is a biological feeling where endorfins are produced at extreme amounts, your blood pressure rises, your pupils dialate, and your muscles recieve enormous amounts of stimulation from your brain.  Those are all things we cannot control, and being homosexual means those involuntary bodily functions happen around the same sex.  Another thing he taught me about homosexuality is that to be open about it means you are willing to pay the price that goes along with it.  All through high school he was bullied insufferably by everyone, he became depressed and tried taking his own life many times.  He killed himself yesterday because in his eyes there was nothing to live for.  The pain had overcome him, the hurt had trapped him in a corner, and no one was there to help him out.  I wish someone had been there, but things happen for a reason and I firmly believe that.

This all makes me think about death and what it has in store for everyone.  I wonder if God forgave him for ending his life prematurely.  I don't wonder if God forgave him for being gay because all sins in God's eyes are equal and so he is no worse than someone who has murdered or lied or cheated.  But upon knowing this fact I am leaning more towards him forgiving Rob for his suicide, but then I wonder if Rob didn't have time to repent to God for his sins where he is?  But everyone should understand this: Rob did not kill himself...the people who hated him and bullied him and preyed on him like Fred Phelps killed him.  Everyone who has ever made a joke on homosexuals, descriminated against them, physically hurt one of them, or ever damned them for who they were killed him.  So I wonder if God took that into account as well.  I pray he is heaven and I know soon I will be blessed with the peace of mind as to his whereabouts.  But until then I wonder, I think about death in general...and I'm afraid.
