A Baptist church's message has people
in Trenton, Georgia talking.
Calvary Baptist Church's marquee sign
read after the general election: “ELECTION / GAYS WIN / UNBORN
LOST.”
President Barack Obama, who won a
second term on that night, is a gay rights ally and is pro-choice.
According to NBC
affiliate WRCB, Pastor Billy Wallace would not speak to them
about the sign.
“That's not right,” Fredia Hoffman
said. “That's your opinion. You need to keep it to yourself,
instead of sticking it out here for everyone to read. There's going
to be a lot of differences in people's opinions and how they feel
about that.”
Kathy Everett disagreed, saying the
sign was truth.
“It's true, and it is what it is,”
she said. “I'm proud to see someone stand up and believe what it
is.”
Clay Moreland, pastor at Woodlawn
Baptist Church of Trenton, commented to The
Christian Post about the sign's message.
“The truth will stand and people
don't like the truth,” he said, adding that the election results
were “another sign that Jesus is coming soon.”
Eddie Cantrell, senior pastor at
Trenton First Baptist Church, said the sign was “not something I
would do.”
“I do not believe that any sign will
convert a person,” he said.
