A video of a 3-year-old boy proudly singing a homophobic song with the line “Ain’t no homos gonna make it to heaven” at a church in Indiana went viral on the Internet this week … and now the church is being flooded with death threats.
In the video — which was posted to TMZ.com on Wednesday (May 30) — the little boy grabs the mic at the church, and sings the hate-filled anti-gay song. The lyrics are as follows:
The Bible’s right, somebody’s wrong.
The Bible’s right, somebody’s wrong.
Romans one, twenty six and twenty seven;
Ain’t no homos gonna make it to Heaven.
After the boy sings the last line to the song, the congregation goes NUTS.
For reference, Romans 1:26 and 27 is a Bible passage that reads:
“Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural sexual relations for unnatural ones. In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed shameful acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their error.”
Several members of the Apostolic Truth Tabernacle Church in Greensburg, Indiana told TMZ that ever since the controversial video went viral … the church office has been getting bombarded with calls, and the pastor has been receiving death threats at his home.
The church members also said that they had to move a recent prayer meeting to a secret location because they were in fear of someone attacking them while they congregated.
TMZ reported:
One member says Pastor Jeff Sangl is extremely worried about his safety — and Wednesday morning (May 30) he and his wife left for vacation without telling anyone where they were going.
Despite the threats, all the members we spoke to have no regrets about the song getting posted online — in fact one said, “The people who are upset just don’t read the word of God. If we don’t teach the children the truth early they will never learn.”
As for the thunderous applause after the hate-filled song — we’re told, “Of course we applauded a child who is singing a song about God.”
…. Wow.
