Religion / World’s First Gay BIBLE Has Been Published With Verses That Promote Same Sex!!! by africapunch: 5:54pm On Oct 23, 2013
A book claiming to be the world’s first ‘gay bible’ has been published to coincide with the debate on same-sex marriageTitled the ‘Queen James Bible’, its editors claim that it is a re-working of the King James Bible translated in a way that ‘prevents homophobic misinterpretation of God’s Word’.

homosexuality was first overtly mentioned in the Bible in 1946 in the Revised Standard Version. There is no mention of or reference to homosexuality in any Bible prior to this only interpretations have been made’, the book’s official website said.

KING V QUEEN: BIBLES COMPARED

Genesis 19:5 (King James) ‘And they called unto Lot, and said unto him, Where are the men which came in to thee this night? Bring them out unto us, that we may know them.’

Genesis 19:5 (Queen James) ‘And they called unto Lot, and said unto him, Where are the men which came in to thee this night? Bring them out unto us, that we may rape and humiliate them’

Timothy 1:10 (King James) ‘For whoremongers, for them that defile themselves with mankind, for menstealers, for liars, for perjured persons, and if there be any other thing that is contrary to sound doctrine’

Timothy 1:10 (Queen James) ‘For whoremongers, for them that defile themselves, for menstealers, for liars, for perjured persons, and if there be any other thing that is contrary to sound doctrine’

Jude 1:7 (King James)’ ‘Even as Sodom and Gomorrha, and the cities about them in like manner, giving themselves over to fornication, and going after strange flesh, are set forth for an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire’

Jude 1:7 (Queen James) ‘Even as Sodom and Gomorrha, and the cities about them in like manner, giving themselves over to fornication, and going after nonhuman flesh, are set forth for an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire’

The publication, printed and bound in the U.S. is timed to coincide with the current debate over same-sex marriage. The sales pitch on the website says: ‘You cant choose your sexuality, but you can choose Jesus. Now you can choose a Bible, too’. The book is on sale online but does not advertise its origins, with no specific publisher, editor or translator listed by name on it’s official website. ‘God’ is listed as the author and ‘Jesus Christ’ a contributor.

Douglas J. Moo, Wessner Chair of Biblical Studies at Wheaton College and a professional Bible translator, told The Christian Post that the Queen James editors’ assessment of past translations is not entirely accurate.

‘Few, if any English translations use the actual words ‘homoséxuality’ or ‘homoséxual.’ But the history of English translation shows that versions have consistently used other language to refer to what we would call homoséxual relationships’, said Mr Moo.‘For instance, the King James Version of Romans 1:27 refers to men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly. ‘It would be very difficult to deny that this language, and the language found in many other places in both the OT and the NT, refers to homosexuality.’

A Vicar in New Zealand, meanwhile, has caused outrage by putting up a poster outside his church in Auckland, New Zealand, that claims Jesus was gay. ‘It’s Christmas. Time for Jesus to come out’, the sign proclaims, with an image of baby Jesus as a toddler in a manger, surrounded by a rainbow halo.

Reverend Glynn Cardy of St Matthew in the City church, said that, as homosexuality was not a word until the 1800s, any mention of it in the Bible or other documents would have mistranslations. He points out that there is no indication about Jesus’s sexuality: ‘The fact is we don’t know what his sexual orientation was.’

His attempts at challenging the status quo were defended by fellow Reverend Clay Nelson who said the billboard tried to humanise Jesus by getting people to think about the challenges he would have had growing up.

He added: ‘Some scholars have tried to make the case that he might have been gay. but it is all conjecture. Maybe gay, maybe not. Does it matter? ‘There is almost nothing in the record of his teachings about sexuality while there is plenty about the perils of being rich.

Certainly he always supported the marginalized in society. See more at: http://africapunch.com/category/facts-wired/

Do you belong to an online social networking website? With their recent rise in popularity there is a good chance that you do. However, it is one thing to be a community member and another to actually participate in online discussions, as well as the many other network features especially in Nigeria.

One of the many benefits to fully examining the social network you belong to is that you could be alerted to network benefits, features, or services that you were previously unaware of. In addition to giving you your own profile page and allowing you to invite other internet users into your network, there are a number of other things that you can do with online social networking websites.

As you can easily see, there are a number of different ways to go about making the most out of your social networking experience. The control is in your hands. It is your decision as to whether or not you want to spend a small amount of time researching your network and everything that it has to offer. However, it is important to note that not doing so may literally mean that you are missing out on all of the fun.

This video will break your heart and also expose you to the risk
Nigerian youths take all in a bid to escape the poverty that have become
their destiny due to the actions of greedy leaders who only care about
themselves. About 70% of youths who graduate every year do not have job
to do. What is their fate? http://africapunch.com/how-naija-guys-die-in-the-desert-trying-to-escape-the-poverty-at-home-video/
Politics / Leaked Letter Shows Former EFCC Boss Waziri Seeking Obasanjo’s Assistance by africapunch: 3:22pm On Sep 17, 2013
Former chairperson of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, Farida Waziri has denied writing Obasanjo and threatened legal action against those responsible for the forgery.
A leaked government letter has cast a spotlight on the tensions between former EFCC boss, Mrs Farida Waziri and former President Olusegun Obasanjo’s recent face-off. Waziri wrote the letter to Obasanjo while in office as chairman of the EFCC begging him to compel President Goodluck Jonathan to reconfirm her for a second term as chairman of the EFCC.
Unfortunately, President Goodluck Jonathan unexpectedly fired the head of Nigeria’s anti-corruption agency Economic and Financial Crimes Commission.
