I don't care how the world and the media paints homosexuality, it is a great sin, deserving of eternal damnation in the lake of fire.
Period!

Your God hates sinners, surely you sinned today, Your God hates you too,therefore, your space is booked in the lake of fire.

OkparaJesus:
Is It Right to Judge?
How many times have you heard someone whine, "Judge
not, that ye be not judged?" This verse of Scripture from
Matthew 7:1 is often quoted out of context by people who
are terrified at the idea of someone preaching against sin
or pointing out any form of error in anyone, especially in
themselves.
As I stood in a voting line one day I overheard a woman
justifying her foolish choice for president by saying, "Well,
we aren't supposed to judge." Imagine that! Choosing NOT
to judge a political candidate on election day! No wonder
our nation is in such a mess!
As for Matthew 7:1, the context (verses 1-5) allows judging
after you have first judged YOURSELF. Jesus did not make
a blanket statement against judgment. He simply pointed
out a RULE for judging.
Now, the word "judge" in its various forms (judgeth,
judging, judgment, judges, etc) is found over 700 times in
God's word. One whole book of the Bible is titled "Judges"
for it was written at a time when God raised up judges to
lead His people.
As we are about to see, God EXPECTS His people to judge.
In fact, you are sinning against God if you refuse to judge!
(Read that again, please)
God Expects Us to Judge
"The mouth of the righteous speaketh wisdom, and his
tongue talketh of judgment." (Psa. 37:30) A righteous
person will talk of judgment. He will not REFUSE to judge.
He will talk judgment.
"Seek good, and not evil, that ye may live: and so the
LORD, the God of hosts, shall be with you, as ye have
spoken. Hate the evil, and love the good, and establish
judgment in the gate: it may be that the LORD God of hosts
will be gracious unto the remnant of Joseph." (Amos
5:14-15) How can you hate the evil and love the good if
you refuse to judge? You can't. You are SINNING when
you refuse to judge.
Our generation is well described in Isaiah 59:8: "The way of
peace they know not; and there is no judgment in their
goings: they have made them crooked paths: whosoever
goeth therein shall not know peace." People have refused
to judge, so there is no peace.
Paul said in I Corinthians 1:10 to ". . . be perfectly joined
together in the same mind and in the same judgment."
Why would Paul make such a statement if judging is
wrong? In I Corinthians 2:15 Paul says, "But he that is
spiritual judgeth all things, yet he himself is judged of no
man." Judging is not a sin; judging is a characteristic of
being a spiritual person! Satan has been lying to us, hoping
that we will NOT judge, because he knows that the right
kind of judgment PLEASES God and betters our lives and
Christian service.
Someone says, "But should we judge PEOPLE?" Yes, we
certainly should. Paul actually REBUKES the Corinthians
for NOT judging: "Dare any of you, having a matter against
another, go to law before the unjust, and not before the
saints? Do ye not know that the saints shall judge the
world? and if the world shall be judged by you, are ye
unworthy to judge the smallest matters? Know ye not that
we shall judge angels? how much more things that pertain
to this life? If then ye have judgments of things pertaining
to this life, set them to judge who are least esteemed in
the church. I speak to your shame. Is it so, that there is
not a wise man among you? no, not one that shall be able
to judge between his brethren?" (I Cor. 6:1-5) If judging is
wrong, then Paul needs to confess and repent for
misleading these Christians! He clearly told them to
JUDGE PEOPLE.
If judging people is wrong, how can we obey Romans
16:17-18? II Corinthians 6:17? II Timothy 3:5-6? I John
4:1? Friend, if judging is wrong, then God has contradicted
Himself and His words cannot be trusted!
Notice Malachi 3:18: "Then shall ye return, and discern
between the righteous and the wicked, between him that
serveth God and him that serveth him not." WOW! Does
that sound like it is wrong to judge?
What about Revelation 2:2? " I know thy works, and thy
labour, and thy patience, and how thou canst not bear
them which are evil: and thou hast tried them which say
they are apostles, and are not, and hast found them liars:"
Why would the Lord be pleased with these Christians if
judging was wrong? Is it not impossible to find someone a
"liar" without judging them?
If the Bible is clear about anything, it is clear about the
importance of judging on a regular basis in order to
properly serve and honor God. To ignore this fact is to
ignore all of the Scripture just presented and also the rest
of the Bible. God expects us to judge.
God's Rules for Judging
Now I do not wish to imply that we should spend all of our
time judging. Sometimes people judge when they have no
business doing so. In John 7:24 Jesus tells us to judge
RIGHTEOUS judgment. This can only be done by following
the rules that God has established in His word. Here follow
seven good rules from Scripture:
Judge Scripturally
Isaiah 8:20 says, "To the law and to the testimony: if they
speak not according to this word, it is because there is no
light in them." Our standard is God's word, not our
feelings, our traditions, or our opinions. Right and wrong
should always be determined by God's word.
Don't Judge When God's Word Is Silent
If God's word is silent about a subject, then you may not
have to judge at all. Don't rush to judgment on an issue
when the Bible says very little or is silent about it. Don't
make more of a matter than God makes of it. A good
example of this is found in Colossians 2:16: "Let no man
therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an
holyday, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath days:" That
is, these are not subjects of great importance today, so
let's not make these great issues of judgment.
Pray for Good Judgement Ability
When Solomon received his kingdom he asked God to
"Give therefore thy servant an understanding heart to judge
thy people, that I may discern between good and bad: for
who is able to judge this thy so great a people?" (I Kings
3:9) James 1:5 says, "If any of you lack wisdom, let him
ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth
not; and it shall be given him." We should pray for good
judgment ability.
Don't Respect Persons
Proverbs 24:23 says, "These things also belong to the
wise. It is not good to have respect of persons in
judgment." Treat all parties fairly without favoring anyone,
such as family members or friends. A truly fair judge is
blind and deaf to any outer influence. (Isa. 42:1, 19-21)
Judge in Truth
Do not judge another when you do not have all the relevant
facts. Jeremiah 5:1 says, "Run ye to and fro through the
streets of Jerusalem, and see now, and know, and seek in
the broad places thereof, if ye can find a man, if there be
any that executeth judgment, that seeketh the truth; and I
will pardon it." A true judge is one who seeks the truth. If
you must judge, be sure and get all the facts. A Japanese
proverb says to "search seven times before you judge."
Judge Mercifully
Remember the words of Jesus in Matthew 7:2: "For with
what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what
measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again."
You'll reap what you sow (Gal. 6:7-. If you are swift and
harsh in judging others, then God will see to it that you
receive the same from others. Has God not been very
merciful to you, even though you deserved it not?
Likewise, you should exercise mercy toward others.
Don't Forget to Judge Yourself
I Corinthians 11:30-31: "For this cause many are weak and
sickly among you, and many sleep. For if we would judge
ourselves, we should not be judged." If you are a true
Christian, then you belong to God. You are God's child. If
you refuse to judge and improve yourself as a child of God,
then God will take it upon Himself to judge you. Many of
the troubles that we face in life are nothing more than
God's way of judging us since we often neglect to judge
ourselves.
Wouldn't it be amazing if every Christian actually took time
to judge themselves before judging anyone else? In
Matthew 7:4-5, Jesus says, " Or how wilt thou say to thy
brother, Let me pull out the mote out of thine eye; and,
behold, a beam is in thine own eye? Thou hypocrite, first
cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt
thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother's
eye." A good judge will not fail to judge himself.

P.S
When trying to make a point on an argument, don't bring religion into it.
The fact that you quoted passages of the bible hereby makes your notion invalid.
Please try again.

The first time i saw two men kissing was in London, specifically at the St James's Park on a cool summer day many years ago. I still remember the shock and revulsion i felt.

I stood transfixed, staring at them for about 5 Minutes and was just turning my head around like AM I THE ONLY ONE SEEING this,and then it hit me, i was no longer in Africa and even if i had been living in the US, i was yet to see two men kiss. It was a cultural shock for me to see two men make out.

I hated gays.

Then one day in Church, at a bible study. Somebody asked the pastor that if the Church preaches a lot of things about repentance and acceptance,why then do they still find it hard to accept gays?the pastor's reply was an eye opener.

And then it hit me. Why do i exactly hate gays?they don't bother me, they sleep with each other,they marry each other,they pay their own bills,i don't even know them.

As i grow older, i have learned to be very tolerant of others. I have also learned to mind my business with how others handle their lives, that is why i do not judge married women/men when they cheat in their marriages, i am not in their marriage so don't know what lead to the infidelity.

While i do have my personal reservation about the gay thing, i have come to accept the fact that my feelings will not stop people from being gays, or stop them from loving each other. i have also come to accept the fact that no matter what, there will be others that will have sexual orientation that is different from mine.

In Nigeria, there have been instances where men have been caught making love to goats and chickens. Nairaland even carried some of those pictures.

So what am i saying?people should let other people live their lives the way they deem it fit. what you cannot correct, leave alone.

Those hating on the homosexuals don't have any sensible reason to hate other than the fact that it is written in their holy book.

They break the commandments and other rules guiding the behaviour of a Christian, yet, be the first to judge and reprimand others doing the same(or less)

There is something wrong with every part of the country.

The Igbos are involved in drug trafficking and smuggling in Indonesia, Singapore and Malaysia; the Yorubas are involved in Yahoo Yahoo and juju pedling, the Hausa are involved in religious fanatism and killings of "infidels", the Binis are hell bent on travelling abroad even if it means crossing the dreaded Mediterranean sea......e.t.c

Every ethnic group has smting wrong with it.

If only the country was wrking as it ought to.

But for the greediness and corruption of Babaginda, Obasanjo, Jonathan and all those that have been part of their govt at one point in time or the other; we are whr we are today.

The poem below is a condensed version of 'The Chaos' by Gerard Nolst Trenité , written in 1922.
It features a ridiculous number of words that are difficult to pronounce, so don't feel bad if you have to refer to a dictionary. I certainly did!

If you fancy yourself something of a professional linguist, then this challenge is for you. English is notoriously difficult to learn, as the language has so many exceptions to the rules. Even for a native English speaker, this poem presents quite a few challenges! Check it out and see how you fare. If you can pronounce all of the words, you speak English better than 90% of the population.

Here we go!

Dearest creature in creation,
Study English pronunciation.
I will teach you in my verse
Sounds like corpse, corps, horse, and worse.
I will keep you, Suzy, busy,
Make your head with heat grow dizzy.
Tear in eye, your dress will tear.
So shall I! Oh hear my prayer.

Just compare heart, beard, and heard,
Dies and diet, lord and word,
Sword and sward, retain and Britain.
(Mind the latter, how it's written.)
Now I surely will not plague you
With such words as plaque and ague.
But be careful how you speak:
Say break and steak, but bleak and streak;
Cloven, oven, how and low,
Script, receipt, show, poem, and toe.

Hear me say, devoid of trickery,
Daughter, laughter, and Terpsichore,
Typhoid, measles, topsails, aisles,
Exiles, similes, and reviles;
Scholar, vicar, and cigar,
Solar, mica, war and far;
One, anemone, Balmoral,
Kitchen, lichen, laundry, laurel;
Gertrude, German, wind and mind,
Scene, Melpomene, mankind.

Billet does not rhyme with ballet,
Bouquet, wallet, mallet, chalet.
Blood and flood are not like food,
Nor is mould like should and would.
Viscous, viscount, load and broad,
Toward, to forward, to reward.
And your pronunciation's OK
When you correctly say croquet,
Rounded, wounded, grieve and sieve,
Friend and fiend, alive and live.

Ivy, privy, famous; clamour
And enamour rhyme with hammer.
River, rival, tomb, bomb, comb,
Doll and roll and some and home.
Stranger does not rhyme with anger,
Neither does devour with clangour.
Souls but foul, haunt but aunt,
Font, front, wont, want, grand, and grant,
Shoes, goes, does. Now first say finger,
And then singer, ginger, linger,
Real, zeal, mauve, gauze, gouge and gauge,
Marriage, foliage, mirage, and age.

Query does not rhyme with very,
Nor does fury sound like bury.
Dost, lost, post and doth, cloth, loth.
Job, nob, bosom, transom, oath.
Though the differences seem little,
We say actual but victual.
Refer does not rhyme with deafer.
Foeffer does, and zephyr, heifer.
Mint, pint, senate and sedate;
Dull, bull, and George ate late.
Scenic, Arabic, Pacific,
Science, conscience, scientific.

Liberty, library, heave and heaven,
Rachel, ache, moustache, eleven.
We say hallowed, but allowed,
People, leopard, towed, but vowed.
Mark the differences, moreover,
Between mover, cover, clover;
Leeches, breeches, wise, precise,
Chalice, but police and lice;
Camel, constable, unstable,
Principle, disciple, label.

Petal, panel, and canal,
Wait, surprise, plait, promise, pal.
Worm and storm, chaise, chaos, chair,
Senator, spectator, mayor.
Tour, but our and succour, four.
Gas, alas, and Arkansas.
Sea, idea, Korea, area,
Psalm, Maria, but malaria.
Youth, south, southern, cleanse and clean.
Doctrine, turpentine, marine.

Compare alien with Italian,
Dandelion and battalion.
Sally with ally, yea, ye,
Eye, I, ay, aye, whey, and key.
Say aver, but ever, fever,
Neither, leisure, skein, deceiver.
Heron, granary, canary.
Crevice and device and aerie.

Face, but preface, not efface.
Phlegm, phlegmatic, ass, glass, bass.
Large, but target, gin, give, verging,
Ought, out, joust and scour, scourging.
Ear, but earn and wear and tear
Do not rhyme with here but ere.
Seven is right, but so is even,
Hyphen, roughen, nephew Stephen,
Monkey, donkey, Turk and jerk,
Ask, grasp, wasp, and cork and work.

Pronunciation -- think of Psyche!
Is a paling stout and spikey?
Won't it make you lose your wits,
Writing groats and saying grits?
It's a dark abyss or tunnel:
Strewn with stones, stowed, solace, gunwale,
Islington and Isle of Wight,
Housewife, verdict and indict.

Finally, which rhymes with enough --
Though, through, plough, or dough, or cough?
Hiccough has the sound of cup.
My advice is to give up!!!

you recite a poem, not Pronounce a poem.

You trash talk Samsung, yet they make more than 50% of the parts that make an iphone.



You're a joke.

what's this one saying?

ollah1:
1. The newest touchwiz on s6 doesn't feel heavier cos if it does it would lag and if lags it won't be crowned the fastest phone at the moment

2. The smudges is only present on the gold version and not on the white or black versions. I use the black, a friend uses the white and no smudges at all

3. S6 isn't on par with iPhone 6 design wise. It's better, besides the sub topic was metal and u switched to glass. iPhone 5 and 5s has better design than iPhone 6

4. A top performing all round device mustn't lag and should be bug free but iPhone 6 isnt in anyway. It's lags like shit

5. This shouldnt be an argument because android is open source and only Google controls it. Nexus devices recieve timely updates cos its done by Google. Windows and bb10 recieve timely updates too but are they the best in the market. HELL NO

6. False. Apple controls both hardware and software doesn't mean it will be the best or is the best. Despite sammy not in control on android, s6 offerings is better in everything than iPhone 6 hence Apple doing business with samsung to provide NAND and Design their A9 processor on 14nm finfet technology

7. They get the apps first cos they usually come paid and developers wanna make money while on android most users know how to get this apps outside the market especially when it's being cracked and you can install it free

8. False. S6 fingerprint scanner matches iPhone 6. Huawei mate 7 matches it too despite android not having the function baked into the OS

9. Samsung S6 ,LG G4,Note 4 all have better cameras than iPhone 6

10. Rumours, okay nah. IPhone 6s is around the corner and we see how its bests DSLRs

Do you know what innovation means? Samsung is a company that isn't afraid of trying out new things, some would work while some won't. Apple isn't that kind of a company.

HTC came up with ultra pixel camera thing
HTC introduced the duo camera thing
Sony came up with water resistance et al thing


The function u mentioned earlier discontinued cos it made touchwiz heavy. I wonder why you switched in the first place, you had a bad experience with s3 and s4 and you had good moments with iPhone 6 and m8. You should have bought the M9 or wait for 6S since sammy ain't your thing.

Incase you don't know. The s6 is the current best and fastest phone out there

obviously, you haven't owned an iPhone6
