Jerry Sloan and
Jerry Falwell were friends in Bible College. But their lives took different directions. The next time they met Sloan asked Falwell about his statement that gay Christians were
"...BRUTE BEASTS, THAT IS, GOING TO THE BASER LUST OF THE FLESH TO LIVE IMMORALITY. AND SO, JUDE DESCRIBES THIS AS APOSTASY. THANK GOD, THIS VILE AND SATANIC SYSTEM WILL ONE DAY BE UTTERLY ANNIHILATED AND THERE WILL BE A CELEBRATION IN HEAVEN!"
. Falwell said it was “an absolute lie” that he had said such a thing and said he would give Sloan $5000 if he could provide a tape. Sloan eventually produced tapes from Falwell’s own Old Time Gospel Hour.
“Although it happened over 20 years ago, almost everywhere I go people still ask me to tell them about my confrontation and lawsuit with my former Baptist Bible College schoolmate, Jerry Falwell.... I am happy to be, as far as I know, the only person to have proven Jerry Falwell a liar in two courts and before four judges.”
