Church Sign: "LGBTQ IS A HATE CRIME AGAINST GOD - REPENT" annoys passers-by

WANE.COM --- The sign is up outside Remnant Fellowship Church off North Street in Auburn.

It reads "LGBTQ is a hate crime against God. Repent." NewsChannel 15 reached out to the church and spoke to Robert Sturges, an elder at the church. He said the sign simply conveys what the Bible says.

"We're trying to reach a certain group of people, Sturges said. "They're being told in our culture that homosexuality, transvestites, lesbianism, and sexual immorality is ok. But the Bible clearly says that those who practice these things will not inherit the Kingdom of God. In fact, it warns them that the wrath of God will abide upon them. And in the judgment, they will be lost and they will be sent to hell forever. We believe that. That's our faith."

Sturges said he wants to remind people who talk about tolerance that his church believes the Bible and they are not afraid to stand firm in their beliefs.

"We do love them," Sturges said. "But we want to warn them that they are headed toward a cliff and if they keep going that way, they'll be destroyed. And that is what the sign is about."
