    Baptist Preacher Praises Orlando Gay Nightclub Attack

    Sacramento Baptist Preacher Praises Orlando Gay Nightclub Attack

    SACRAMENTO (CBS13) — A Sacramento Baptist preacher’s sermon praising an attack on an Orlando nightclub that killed 50 people has the local LGBT community outraged.

    Recordings of the sermon by Pastor Roger Jimenez surfaced under the Verity Baptist Church’s YouTube account.


    “Are you sad that 50 pedophiles were killed today?” he said in the sermon. “Um no, I think that’s great! I think that helps society. I think Orlando, Florida is a little safer tonight.”


    The remarks were delivered on Sunday morning, hours after the attack happened.


    “We don’t need to do anything to help. As far as I’m concerned, Orlando is a little bit safer tonight,” he said.

    Sandrea Nelson, the Pride director of the Davis-Phoenix coalition, was left in shock after hearing Jimenez’s sermon. He says in all his years growing up Baptist and attending church, no pastor ever spoke of inequality.

    “He’s not a man of God. He is not teaching religion,” he said.


    Jimenez’s sermon went on to call for even more death at the hands of the government.


    “If we lived in a righteous government, they should round them all up and put them up against a firing wall, and blow their brains out,” Jimenez said in the sermon.

    Nelson says it’s hateful and violent statements like these that keep many in the LGBT community shut out.


    “Statements like this can cause more harm to our youth and people in the closet; it causes them to feel worthless,” he said.


    CBS13 went to speak with Jimenez at his home on Monday morning, but he declined.


    With the LGBT community less than a year removed from a Supreme Court ruling opening the door for marriage equality, Nelson says they’ve become complacent. But Jimenez’s remarks are a reminder the fight for equality isn’t over.


    “Bottom line is to love thy brother as you love thyself,” Nelson said.

    The hateful comments made by a preacher in Sacramento do not reflect Christian values and have no place in our society. #standwithorlando

    The original video of the sermon was taken down late Monday night by Youtube for violating the service’s policy on hate speech.

    Pastor Roger Jimenez was born in Venezuela. His family came to Christ through the influence of American missionaries. He was led to the Lord by his father when he was 4 years old. His family moved to the United States when he was very young.

    Joann Jimenez was born in Northern California. At the age of 17 she was working full time and attending a local community college near Sacramento. The influence at this college had convinced her to be an atheist, even though she was raised somewhat catholic. Joann was saved when a Christian teenage boy, who had recently started working with her, began to present the gospel to her. After months of conversations and debating, late one night while closing, Joann decided to reject atheism and accepted the Lord Jesus Christ as her personal saviour! She immediately began to go to church with her Christian co-worker, got baptized and began to grow in her walk with God. Joann would later marry the young Christian co-worker that presented the gospel to her.

    Roger and Joann Jimenez have been happily married since June of 2004. The Lord has blessed them with wonderful children and they are praying that God will give them many more.

    Deport them and shut the Church down! And all Churches aiding and abetting illegal aliens need to loose their tax exempt status. Go help them on their soil. You are not above the law!
