Our favorite [font color=green](???)[/font] crazy pastor is BACK! Harlem Pastor James Manning is now calling for the return of stoning (as in, throwing rocks at people) and is specifically suggesting that we stone “the homos.” After all, he claims, “stoning is still the law.” See the image below from his church’s billboard.

From Joe My God:

Last month Harlem Pastor James Manning earned national headlines when he posted a billboard declaring that President Obama has “released homo demons on the black man.” Today Manning upped the Christian Love™ with the above sign. According to Manning’s YouTube clip posted this morning, Christians who refuse to stone homosexuals to death are “advocating lawlessness.” He goes on: “Stoning of the homos is now in order. Stoning is still the law.” We’ll stand by for Christian leaders to denounce Pastor Manning, but don’t hold your breath – there was nothing but silence last month.

Pastor Manning loves to use his church’s billboard for shocking people. He did this one last month:

1. ok, he can start with the heterosexual adulterers in his church. got rocks? nt

[raccoon]

20. Absolutely. Churchgoers are as likely to commit adultery as anyone else. nt

2. Weird I don't remember that verse

granted even when I did go to church I was sleeping, doodling, daydreaming, watching other people sleeping, doodling, daydreaming; so I might have missed it.

3. Manning didn't think "homos" were so bad back in 2008...

when he was running around with that idiot Larry Sinclair (the guy that claims he had an affair with Obama)

17. Manning didn't think "homos" were so bad back in 2008...

Manning thinks waaaaaay too much about "homos".

[DonViejo]

18. I belonged to a site that worked on exposing Sinclair's lies...

we all felt Manning was spending so much time on his favorite topic of "homos," because of things he did while serving in prison. When Larry Sinclair held his news conference to "expose" Obama, Manning was in the audience, with his wife and daughter, in a show of support for Sinclair

4. This guy is just a WBC wannabe.

Problem is that there are probably (the research involved would depress me too much) thousands of these guys flying below the media (however you define "media&quot radar, all of whom have plenty of people in agreement.

I guess that's not an original observation, but it's scary nonetheless.

On edit: Great thanks to those in the media who do bring this shit to light.

On edit again: Is this just Poe's Law in action again? I'm too pooped to Google right now. Bookmarked.

5. "let he who is without sin cast the first stone"

[TexasProgresive]

6. I don't think there is any stoning in the New Testament

Let alone that Jesus ever picked up a rock or threw it. I guess this makes the case that haters gotta hate.

7. There is stoning in the New Testament.

Acts, chapter 7 when Steven was stoned by the members of the Sanhedrin.

[TexasProgresive]

8. You are right

I forgot about Steven, first he gets stoned and then people call his day boxing day.

[Warren Stupidity]

10. That was the Marquis of Queensbury reform.

Before that it was stoning day.

[Bohunk68]

9. The Sanhedrin, who were Old Testament

Jews stoning Jews of the New Testament which forbids the practice.

[Warren Stupidity]

14. Stoning was indeed out.

However it appears that by the 1500s all sorts of other forms of brutal execution were just fine.

This engraving depicts the execution of David van der Leyen and Levina Ghyselins, described variously as Dutch Anabaptists or Mennonites, by Catholic authorities in Ghent in 1554. Strangled and burned, van der Leyen was finally dispatched with an iron fork. Bracht's Martyr's Mirror is considered by modern Mennonites as second only in importance to the Bible in perpetuating their faith.

Jesuits like John Ogilvie (Ogilby) (1580-1615) were under constant surveillance and threat from the Protestant governments of England and Scotland. Ogilvie was sentenced to death by a Glasgow court and hanged and mutilated on March 10, 1615.

The slaughter of Huguenots (French Protestants) by Catholics at Sens, Burgundy in 1562 occurred at the beginning of more than thirty years of religious strife between French Protestants and Catholics. These wars produced numerous atrocities. The worst was the notorious St. Bartholomew's Day Massacre in Paris, August 24, 1572. Thousands of Huguenots were butchered by Roman Catholic mobs. Although an accommodation between the two sides was sealed in 1598 by the Edict of Nantes, religious privileges of Huguenots eroded during the seventeenth century and were extinguished in 1685 by the revocation of the Edict. Perhaps as many as 400,000 French Protestants emigrated to various parts of the world, including the British North American colonies.

In the areas of France they controlled, Huguenots at least matched the harshness of the persecutions of their Catholic opponents. Atrocities A, B, and C, depictions that are possibly exaggerated for use as propaganda, are located by the author in St. Macaire, Gascony. In scene A, a priest is disemboweled, his entrails wound up on a stick until they are torn out. In illustration B a priest is buried alive, and in C Catholic children are hacked to pieces. Scene D, alleged to have occurred in the village of Mans, was "too loathsome" for one nineteenth-century commentator to translate from the French. It shows a priest whose genitalia were cut off and grilled. Forced to eat his roasted private parts, the priest was then dissected by his torturers so they can observe him digesting his meal.

Shown here is a depiction of the murder by Irish Catholics of approximately one hundred Protestants from Loughgall Parish, County Armagh, at the bridge over the River Bann near Portadown, Ulster. This atrocity occurred at the beginning of the Irish Rebellion of 1641. Having held the Protestants as prisoners and tortured them, the Catholics drove them "like hogs" to the bridge, where they were stripped naked and forced into the water below at swordspoint. Survivors of the plunge were shot.

But indeed no stoning.

16. And an almost-stoning.

John 8:1-11.

Jesus stops the stoning of "the woman taken in adultery."

The Rev. must have missed that bit.

[LeftishBrit]

11. Uggh. He should just go ahead and join the Taliban, if that's how he feels.

12. What a creep!

13. Law is law.

Mercy is mercy.

One doesn't void the existence of the other, but does mitigate the application and consequence. Mercy is a way to avoid the penalty for a lack of righteousness, justifying the person but not the transgressions.


Law also requires some sort of state apparatus to enforce it and the NT church has none. (And by the time it acquired one, it was the church in the same sense that the current Republican and Democratic parties are still the same as the original parties. After all, the (R) central goal is still the repeal of the Missouri Compromise, right, and fighting the expansion of slavery and preservation of a strong union? Just as the Democratic Party is still the original Democratic Party, pushing for a weak central government, focused on state's rights and protecting the interests of farmers against the interests of the city folk, especially monied interests. I mean, once an organization is founded, surely it remains the exact same organization as long as it exists, right? We can argue that it was good and proper for these organizations to abandon their roots, but each morphed from what it was to being very nearly the opposite in far less than 200 years. If political parties, why not the church?)

15. Attention seeking hate monger. For people like him, I hope there is something

or someone that they have to account to.

19. The law? Where?
