HOMOSEXUALITY: A MORAL WRONG OR HUMAN RIGHT?

DEFINITION

Homosexuality can be defined as persistent and predominant orientation towards a person of same sex. The pre-fix ‘homo’ derives from a Greek word which means “like” or “same”.[1] Male homosexuals are commonly called ‘Gays’ and female homosexuals are referred to as ‘Lesbians’. Homosexuality manifests itself in the development of loving relationships with persons of the same sex and could even show itself by lack of interest in the opposite sex and in normal marriage of a man and a woman.
EMERGENCE TO PUBLIC GLARE, ITS DEMAND AND THE CHALLENGE

Although homosexuality is an ancient phenomenon, its emergence and public debate is recent. According to Marmor, homosexual is evidenced in pre-historic art as well as in the pictographs and hieroglyphs of ancient culture. Ancient Hebrews, Egyptians and Assyrians had laws against homosexual practice. Some pagan culture punished it severely[2]

However in the 1970s and early 80s homosexuals won a great deal of freedom in many parts of the world. Before this time, most homosexuals conceal their sexuality as a shameful secret. They emerged from the shadows not as quiescence but as co-workers, family members, and political lobbyists, unwilling to remain hidden any longer. They claim to be ordinary people who should not be denied civil rights – the right to teach in schools, adopt children, serve in the military, or pastor a church. To be despised for an attribute as accidental as race, they say, is unwarranted prejudice.[3]

Consequently, in many parts of the world, those freedoms have been incorporated in Human Rights legislation which can be used against Christians and others who may speak against homosexual relationships and practices. They want their partnerships to be accorded the same status and recognition as traditional marriage of male and female by the society. In America, where homosexual ‘civil contract’ has been introduced, homosexual divorces are now occurring! They are even claiming right in the ministry of many churches and have achieved it. Such is the United Church of Canada.[4] In the recent past, the Anglican Communion world-wide hotly debated the issue of ordination of homosexuals as priests. The major resistance was from the minority.

To say the least, homosexuality should bear a special concern for the church. First, the church’s historically and appropriate high view of the scripture is threatened by efforts at revising the church’s position on homosexuality.[5] Secondly, the church need not be casual about this because the Bible treats homosexuality as an act to be condemned, but our society is treating it as a fundamental element of personal identity. There is no legitimacy to defining a person by his or her sexual desires or any other fallen element of one’s nature.

This is not really new; the Church in each generation has been faced with new challenges, which according to Jones are “new twists on old issues”. The ‘new twist’ is to see gay persons as a social group that must be loved and accepted as they are, but the ‘old issue’ is to diminish the authority of God’s revelation, understand and accept people on their terms rather than God’s view of them, and fundamentally to amend the nature of Christ’s call to take up our crosses and follow Him.[6]


GROUNDS FOR THE PROPAGANDA

The grounds used by Homosexuals to gain public view and demand civil rights include the following:

The population of those who are homosexuals. A long acclaimed population of ten percent was used to whip up emotions as significant enough fraction to be accorded civil rights. While this population has long been disputed and refuted, the more agreed population is between 1and 4 percent; but should the population even be much more than 10 percent, would it matter if when faced with God’s demand, it falls short?
The Source of Homosexuals. The claim of homosexuals is that they were so born. Twenty five years old Lesbian was said to have written in a publication appealing to all “homophobic individuals” to correct their understandings. She wrote: “A person’s sexual orientation is a natural part of a person… It is God-given. Since it is what nature intended, it should be celebrated. It can’t possibly be immoral”[7] But according to Ray, Homosexuals are not a third sex. They are not accident of creation or procreation. They are ordinary people who early in life responded to their emotional stresses and strains with wrong attitudes and wrong actions which develop into serious neuroses.[8] This is in consonance with Gadapaille who stated that “the cross-cultural data clearly shows that adult homosexuality does not naturally develop in human cultures or families where heterosexual bias is allowed expression and fostered.[9]

Homosexual orientation cannot be changed. Following from the above that it is by nature and not by nurture, the homosexuals argue that the sexual orientation cannot be reversed. Thus they have no choice but remain homosexuals for life. It is however proved that their sexual orientation can be reversed. Some clinical report has 66 percent success rate in changing homosexual orientation. It should also quickly be added that these are purely human means apart from the incomparably great effect that divine grace and the power of the Holy Spirit can impact.[10]

CAUSE(S) OF HOMOSEXUAL ORIENTATION

The causes of homosexual orientation are hotly debated in research circle. The presumed ones include the following:

Few choose to have homosexual inclination. A man can almost choose to be or do anything. The bent of man’s will and his exploration quest has resulted in homosexuality for some persons.
Genetic and Chromosomal Factors may give some a bent to homosexuality. Dr. Money, a leading authority on the physiological aspect of human sexuality by research is said to conclude that there is no evidence to support the hypothesis that homosexuals or bisexuals of any degree or type are chromosomally discrepant from heterosexuals. Sex hormones may be crucial for the physiological development of the organs needed for the sexual acts and for increasing their sensitivity to stimulation, psychological factors are the crucial elements that influence the choice of sexual partners and the intensity of the emotions, he claims.[11]

Disordered Family Relationship that have people confused at a deep level about their sexual identity. Many Lesbians seem to have been sexually abused by men early in life, this could result in a deeply impaired ability to trust or feel free to be close to men later. For instance, the combination of a domineering mother and a father who is detached or hostile can contribute to this condition. But we must note that some homosexuals do not have this background and there are persons with such background that do not have homosexual tendencies.

It is learned behavior brought about by seduction or initiation. This is found to be the experience of many.

Concluding on what causes homosexual tendencies, Hooker states it is multi-factorial. The variables include biological, cultural, psychodynamic, structural and situational factors.[12] If this is correct, we can draw inference from Biblical perspective that the genesis of homosexuality is not a matter of nature to the exclusion of nurture or vice versa. It is rather a combination of both. Man in his falling nature interacting with a social environment which itself bears the marks of sin, and homosexuality is one of the distortion that can result from that interaction.[13] The Bible, though acknowledging these imperfections do hold man responsible for the way he interacts with his world.
ARGUMENTS ON HOMOSEXUALITY

The following is representative of arguments on homosexual acts:

There should be no sexual constraint for consenting adults. What they do is their own moral business. A person has right to do with his body whatever he chooses. If mutual adults consent is equal to a right, what if the adults consent to Rob, kill or kidnap will it earn a right? An individual is not the ultimate standard of what is right or wrong.
The right of privacy protects homosexuality. Privacy is a constitutional right and as such the heterosexual majority has no right to impose their morality on the homosexual minority. Is right of privacy right of immorality? There is for instance no right to private rape.

Homosexuals have civil rights too like other minority groups. Denial is discrimination and discrimination is morally and socially wrong. There are no homosexual rights, homosexuals have rights as citizens but not as homosexuals for there is no right to do wrong. There is no civil right to do a moral wrong. There may then be advocacy for Murderers’ right, rapists’ right etc.

Morals have changed since ancient times. E.g. Pre-marital sex is viewed differently now. Morality does not change. Basic moral principles don’t change, what changes is our understanding and performances of them. Geisler states “Unchanging moral values with changing moral practice confuses morals and mores”[14]

THE SOCIAL VICES AND DAMAGES OF HOMOSEXUALITY

A look of the contribution of homosexuality to the society can become a way to assess the worth for its quest for civil rights. Its contribution includes the following:

Male homosexuality tends to be strongly associated with promiscuity. The famous Bell Memberg study suggested that about one-third of gays have had over one thousand sexual partners in their life’s times. Very few gays are in committed long-term relationships. Less than 10 percent of gays are in such relationships. Those who are in stable relationship do not tend to be sexually monogamous. McWhirter and Mattison, a Gay Couple themselves found that zero percent of the one hundred stable couple they studied were sexually monogamous after being together for five years. They said, to be gay is to be non-monogamous and that monogamy is unnatural state that some gay men attempt because of their internalized homophobia, so when you finally grow to accept your own gayness they said, you shed your monogamy as butterfly shed a cocoon.[15]
It produces unstable relationships. Apart from having many partners, characteristic to homosexuals, those in “stable relationships” are really unstable. For instance in ‘homosexual-friendly’ Scandinavian countries, where same-sex ‘civil union’ type relationships have existed for 10 years, male-male union breakdown (‘divorce’) is 50% higher than heterosexual unions. For female-female coupling the breakdown figure is 170% higher.[16]

Spread of Diseases. Homosexuality is responsible for the majority of new cases of sexually transmitted diseases (STDS). 50 percent of new cases of Syphilis occur in the homosexual population. Homosexual is five times more likely to contact syphilis than his heterosexual peer. Rectal gonorrhea is associated with anal intercourse. Also Hepatitis B. virus and Recta Cancer[17]

Homosexual practices are threats to lives. Another social concern is AIDS. Homosexual is noted to spread it. It does to non-homosexuals: hemophiliacs, user of common needle, medical workers, wives of bisexuals and others. Predictions are that millions of people will die as a direct or indirect result of homosexual practices that pass on this fatal virus.[18]

These go on to show that homosexuality is a social and civil menace. Rational society would want to defend itself against activities that endanger the lives of its citizen.


THE CHRISTIAN STANCE ON HOMOSEXUALITY

Whereas there have been arguments based on the Biblical passages on homosexual activities, few years back it would be generally concluded that the Bible is clearly against homosexual acts. The traditional view on such scriptures such as Gen. 19, Lev. 18, Jdg. 7, Rom.1:26-27, 1 Cor.6:9, 1Tim.1:10, was unanimous. This however has changed. Some scholars opined that these Bible texts on which the past condemnation of homosexuality was based are more complicated than may appear to literal minded reader.[19] It is as though the Bible has no great relevance to our modern problems. This statement credited to Scroggs is apt on this: “Not only is the New Testament Church uninterested in the topic, it has nothing new to say about it… Biblical judgments against homosexuality are not relevant to today’s debate.”[20] Thus homosexual acts have reasons why it must be accepted.

It is however striking that every time homosexual practice is mentioned in the scriptures, it is condemned. Jones expressed that there are only two ways to neutralize the Biblical witness: by gross misinterpretation or by moving away from high view of scripture.[21] The passages mentioned above are certainly important, but they are not the core of Christian stance that homosexual action is immoral. What is central is the Biblical vision of sexuality which applies equally to homosexual and heterosexual persons, men and women, adults and children. The heart of Christian sexual morality is that God made sexual union for a purpose; it is for the unity of husband and wife into one flesh in marriage. God uses sexual intercourse, full sexual intimacy to weld two different people together (1 Cor.6:11). God’s purpose for sex and marriage is bigger than simply a means to get our sexual needs met, have fun, have children and not have to be lonely. These are included benefits though, but God has a bigger purpose.[22]

This bigger purpose is revealed in Ephesians 5. Marriage is to illustrate what God wants in the relationship between Christ and His bride, the church. We are different from God but He wants to unite with us (1Cor.6:17). This reality can be uniquely modeled on earth through the union of two different human beings, male and female. Marriage is a living parable, a concrete symbol that models for the world the mystical union between Christ and His people.[23]
CONCLUSION

In the light of all stated above, it becomes very clear that homosexuality is not a question of human right but a moral question, indeed it is a moral wrong. The existence of inclinations, orientations or preferences has little to do with God’s moral call upon our lives. The goals that God ordained are legitimate and binding. However, this should not banish homosexuals from Christian touch of love especially as the luring into it is continuous. Indeed it should endear Christians to homosexuals. They should be seen as persons in captivity of their passion and hence objects of mercy. They are people for whom the sacrifice of Christ can atone. They need to know that there is hope of freedom. Awareness on homosexuality should be made first to denominational and congregational leaders. This is to serve not only to have them informed in balanced and enlightened form but to cause them to stand firmly, intelligently and vocally against homosexuality crusade as its creeping in for debate even with our national law makers. Christians should aim to reach homosexuals for the Lord and also have them rehabilitated. Jones speaks of ideal, chaste singleness as open and accessible to any homosexual. He states further that this holds out the possibility for true integrity and beauty as the models of Jesus Himself, Paul and many other saints show.[24] This is crucial because a moral wrong can never become the basis for human right.

Today, I will be speaking on homosexuality and what a Christians view should be on the issue. Nowadays, we get to see even those who call themselves Christians say "I don't care what homosexuals do as long as it is in the privacy of their bedrooms". I pity them when they make this statement cos they don't know the danger such statement out's them in. I pray Nairaland moves this thread to front page so that my fellow Christians will desist from making that grave mistake.

Below are some questions and points often raised by homosexuals and some decieve people to fool gullible Christians and the world.

1. Isn't fornication also a sin?

Yes, it is. But the situation of homosexuality is o e that cries to God for vengeance.

And the Lord said: The cry of Sodom and Gomorrha is multiplied, and their sin is become exceedingly grievous. I will go down and see whether they have done according to the cry that is come to me: or whether it be not so, that I may know. - Gen. 18:20-21

2. We were born that way

That's a big lie! For decades, these homosexuals have been spending huge millions just to find what they call a gay gene to justify their sin, but all to no avail. God created everything male and female. He created the woman for the man, not a man for a man.

1 Corinthians 11:9
Neither was man created for woman, but woman for man.

But due to the hatred for God, some humans lusted after sin.

Romans 1:26-27
26 Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural sexual relations for unnatural ones. 27 In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed shameful acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their error.
28 Furthermore, just as they did not think it worthwhile to retain the knowledge of God, so God gave them over to a depraved mind, so that they do what ought not to be done.

3. Gays just want to be left alone in the privacy of their bedrooms.

Homosexuals and their supporters often say the above line to fool the gullible who doesn't know that history always repeats itself. No, homosexuals don't want to be left alone in their bedrooms. They want everyone in the city, country and in the world to become homosexuals like them. That's why we see them indoctrinating everyone with gay pride parade, gay characters in Hollywood movies and cartoons etc. They are growing more powerful and we will soon get to the point where they will demand you become gay, show support or get ostracized. Remember what they wanted to do to the 2 angels that visited Lot in Sodom and Gomorrah. If homosexuals just want to be in the privacy of their homes, why then did their forefathers came to try to sodomize Lot and the 2 angels in Lot's house?

HOMOSEXUALITY: A MORAL WRONG OR HUMAN RIGHT?

It is however striking that every time homosexual practice is mentioned in the scriptures, it is condemned. Jones expressed that there are only two ways to neutralize the Biblical witness: by gross misinterpretation or by moving away from high view of scripture.[21] The passages mentioned above are certainly important, but they are not the core of Christian stance that homosexual action is immoral. What is central is the Biblical vision of sexuality which applies equally to homosexual and heterosexual persons, men and women, adults and children. The heart of Christian sexual morality is that God made sexual union for a purpose; it is for the unity of husband and wife into one flesh in marriage. God uses sexual intercourse, full sexual intimacy to weld two different people together (1 Cor.6:11). God’s purpose for sex and marriage is bigger than simply a means to get our sexual needs met, have fun, have children and not have to be lonely. These are included benefits though, but God has a bigger purpose.[22]

This bigger purpose is revealed in Ephesians 5. Marriage is to illustrate what God wants in the relationship between Christ and His bride, the church. We are different from God but He wants to unite with us (1Cor.6:17). This reality can be uniquely modeled on earth through the union of two different human beings, male and female. Marriage is a living parable, a concrete symbol that models for the world the mystical union between Christ and His people.[23]
CONCLUSION

In the light of all stated above, it becomes very clear that homosexuality is not a question of human right but a moral question, indeed it is a moral wrong. The existence of inclinations, orientations or preferences has little to do with God’s moral call upon our lives. The goals that God ordained are legitimate and binding. However, this should not banish homosexuals from Christian touch of love especially as the luring into it is continuous. Indeed it should endear Christians to homosexuals. They should be seen as persons in captivity of their passion and hence objects of mercy. They are people for whom the sacrifice of Christ can atone. They need to know that there is hope of freedom. Awareness on homosexuality should be made first to denominational and congregational leaders. This is to serve not only to have them informed in balanced and enlightened form but to cause them to stand firmly, intelligently and vocally against homosexuality crusade as its creeping in for debate even with our national law makers. Christians should aim to reach homosexuals for the Lord and also have them rehabilitated. Jones speaks of ideal, chaste singleness as open and accessible to any homosexual. He states further that this holds out the possibility for true integrity and beauty as the models of Jesus Himself, Paul and many other saints show.[24] This is crucial because a moral wrong can never become the basis for human right.

I disagree with you sir about canceling of NYSC because of the recent decadence.

The factor responsible for the problem in NYSC affects every other area of Nigeria. E.g. ministries in d state, power, police, hospitals, infrastructures to mention few.
Prove me wrong, is it not the problem of leadership? I did NYSC and it has been one of the memorable time of my life. The target and purpose of NYSC is not for you to make millions and get job. It is meant to give exposure that will further unite our Nation to the Youth. It is to prepare us ahead of the challenge to face in our place of job.

The benefit of NYSC and it good output is much than the problem surrounding is facing presently.

innosaint27:



The essence of the NYSC scheme has long been defeated. All those crying foul now, I'm sure didn't serve in recent times.

There is more regrets than joy
More fears and tears than peace
More casualties than safety

So much negativity and corruption in the NYSC scheme.

The deletion of the scheme is best for all. A total waste of one whole year of one's life.


Let the FG modify the N-Power scheme a little more. That is a more noble scheme!






Dedicated to the memory of all those who died while serving Nigeria in the NYSC scheme in recent times!

To NwaAmaikpe, for applauding the deletion of the NYSC scheme.

Honour God with your life today. Today will soon be history. Tomorrow you will leave here, you will go somewhere else. Your choice today will determine your destination tomorrow. That your new destination is between you and God-your creator, and Maker.

Jesus Christ can offer you a better and secured tomorrow. Repent, accept Jesus Christ as your personal Lord and saviour, today follow Him and you are guarantee a place with Him tomorrow.

Jesus loves you and me.

How do you know about the poverty and yahoo boys? From experience?

Papiikush:
At least a governor who rather play Talking drum while his state is filled with poverty and yahoo boys is better than a missing president

What are they developing? Mention them .

StakerLives:


shame on the southwest

meanwhile his fellow governors up north are developing their region, he is here drumming.

Sincerely confess your sin, ask for forgiveness, accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and personal saviour. Now ask the Holy Spirit to come inside of you to lead you now and forever.

If you understand this short counsel, and it mix with faith in you, you will receive God's healing and power to henceforth SAY NO to SMOKING and NOW YES TO JESUS to live a righteous and acceptable life before God.God bless you.

Please Federal Govenrment Pipeline pass through my shop backyard in Ilorin and there is oil depot in Oke-Oyi, Kwara State. You must include us in Host communities

God love all of us and that was wwhy He sent Jesus to die for the whole world, Muslim, Tranditional Worshippers, People attending Church that are yet to be born agian etc

But if you reject it what can God do? Nothing because it is a free will. God will not force you to believe in JESUS CHRIST FINISHED WORK ON CALVARY but will encourage and advise you to do so for the sake of days like this when question about eternity with God will be asked or faced.

Well, it depend on which heaven the man Freezy is talking about. I imagine if Doctor failed to tell HIV patient the truth because he felt the HIV patient will feel bad.


If it is the Heaven where The Father, The Son (Jesus) and The Holy Spirit is presently is the object of discussion or where the young man wants to know if his mum is presently, in asmuch we are not a judge, he must know that the fact and truth of the bible.

Then the Mama must be Born again to be in that "Heaven".

John 3:3-7

3 Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God. 4 Nicodemus saith unto him, How can a man be born when he is old? can he enter the second time into his mother’s womb, and be born? 5 Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. 6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. 7 Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again.

Romans 10:9
9 that if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. 10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. 11 For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed. 12 For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him. 13 For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.



John 11:25-26

25 Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live: 26 and whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. Believest thou this?


John 8:54-58
54 Jesus answered, If I honour myself, my honour is nothing: it is my Father that honoureth me; of whom ye say, that he is your God: 55 yet ye have not known him; but I know him: and if I should say, I know him not, I shall be a liar like unto you: but I know him, and keep his saying. 56 Your father Abraham rejoiced to see my day: and he saw it, and was glad. 57 Then said the Jews unto him, Thou art not yet fifty years old, and hast thou seen Abraham? 58 Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am.


John 8:31-32
31 Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed; 32 and ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.

Jesus loves you. Repent of your sin today and accept Jesus Christ into your life as your Lorad and Saviour. Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.

You cannot understand Bible even if if the most brilliant man on earth read it EXCEPT you are FIRST BORN AGAIN. and the HOLY SPIRIT/HOLY GHOST lives in you.
You and the Alfa thought Bibleis like the other books.
When you give your life to Christ first, then come back to discuss.
You shall know the truth and the truth will set you free.
JESUS LOVES YOU.

Thank you sir. You are close to knowing me. It is Jesus Ambassador or in your language The Way, The Truth and The Life Guider.

You rather need such rain to wash off all forms of religion dogmatism from your life.
Keep your white man Jesus or whatever to yourself.

Thank God for the White Man Jesus if you are referring to the Lord Jesus Christ.

I know that "White Man Jesus" is superior and have eternal enduring quality than white man idea, material and invention if u have one or using one such as Handset, Computer or Internet.

But I hope you are not secretly bowing down for a black man whatever or an Atheist. You got to be one.

My simple prayer for you is that at the end of life , God will help you not to miss ETERNITY with your CREATOR whatever you are today, in Jesus name. Amen.

Eledan:




Just write your opinions and stop quoting me with your stupid mentions.

Thank you. You see why you need to be under that rain to cool down and be washed.

Jesus love you

I have been there, I have done all that. I even do pass all these when I still dey carry religion for head like gala. All na wash. I noticed my life started changing for the better when I started channeling my time, energy and money towards more profitable ventures than on religious activities. No time to waste time jarey.

You are right. There is no man that profit from religion. Good that you know earlier.

What you need is a genuine relationship with JESUS CHRIST and you will touch and enjoy life with clear conviction of rest after death. I am in it and enjoying it since 2001 when I was on campus. I have no regret till today for coming out of Christian religion into Christ life. Jesus I thank you. If you have it, you will know but if you don't, definitely you will speak only about your experience.

Jesus love you.

bigtt76:
I don't like it when someone says 'Do you stop going to work because it's raining' when it comes to justifying why you should enter the rain and go to church.

It just doesn't relate. If it rains heavily, I don't leave my home to go anywhere except it is an emergency!!! If in doubt then visit Lagos and go out when it rains #Nansense

Hello,

I don't have the full speech of what Prophet Johnson Suleman said and am not defending him. I know media have done a lot of havoc to the truth in this country but let them know that if they refuse to stop telling lies, the reward of such will soon catch up with them one on one. You know last year men of God like Pastor Adeboye and others were misunderstood and their words wrongly interpreted. When we don't have details let be careful on our comments.

But for the scripture you quoted, i have to respond to assist you if you really care for truth and love.


The Deuteronomy Passage you quoted are out of point.

You quoted some verses jumping others to make a point which is a normal practice of every Muslim. Stop jumping other verses if not, you will mislead yourself and your hearer. Read every chapters very well to understand the point being made in any of the books in the Bible.

I am not trying to defend Bible, please note.

Check Deuteronomy 18 in verse 9-12 hear what God says:

"9 When you enter the land the Lord your God is giving you, do not learn to imitate the detestable ways of the nations there.

10 Let no one be found among you who sacrifices their son or daughter in the fire, who practices divination or sorcery, interprets omens, engages in witchcraft,

11 or casts spells, or who is a medium or spiritist or who consults the dead.

12 Anyone who does these things is detestable to the Lord; because of these same detestable practices the Lord your God will drive out those nations before you."

God used the Jew to wipe out the Pagans who have done very detestable things before Him. God gave that command. Ask God if u are privilege to make heaven (which i pray you will in Jesus name. Amen) why He chose Israelites to do that.

The bible verses refers to Israelite that worship any other gods apart from Yahweh the Creator of Heaven and the Earth. Those law were mainly meant for the Jews. Go and study the book of Ezekiel and Jeremiah very well and discover that God Himself did not spare Israelite that worship idols. Google Exodus 32 and see how God was furious against Israelite on idol worshiping.

The whole old testament are first and foremost directed to the Jew and then to us to learn today but not to follow those laws but to follow only the EXAMPLE OF JESUS CHRIST BECAUSE IN HIM THE WHOLE LAW HAS BEEN FULFILLED (Matthew 5:17 “Don’t misunderstand why I have come. I did not come to abolish the law of Moses or the writings of the prophets. No, I came to accomplish their purpose. 18 I tell you the truth, until heaven and earth disappear, not even the smallest detail of God’s law will disappear until its purpose is achieved.)

The Luke Passage is a Parable and it is referring to the end of life after Christ second coming when the whole world will be judge. Anyone that refuses Christ as the Lord refused Him from being his or her king and after harvesting His own (those that accept Him as Lord and Saviour), the rest will then be punished with satan. Get that right.

We are under grace and look at these verses in New Testament that is meant for all Christian.

HEAR JESUS OUR PERFECT EXAMPLE:

1. Hebrew 12:2 LOOKING (i.e non stopping) unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.

2. Matthew 5:38 “You have heard the law that says the punishment must match the injury: ‘An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth. 39 But I say, do not resist an evil person! If someone slaps you on the right cheek, offer the other cheek also.

3. Matthew 5:43 “You have heard the law that says, ‘Love your neighbor’[q] and hate your enemy. 44 But I say, love your enemies![r] Pray for those who persecute you! 45 In that way, you will be acting as true children of your Father in heaven. For he gives his sunlight to both the evil and the good, and he sends rain on the just and the unjust alike.

4. Luke 6:27 “But to you who are willing to listen, I say, love your enemies! Do good to those who hate you. 28 Bless those who curse you. Pray for those who hurt you. 29 If someone slaps you on one cheek, offer the other cheek also. If someone demands your coat, offer your shirt also. 30 Give to anyone who asks; and when things are taken away from you, don’t try to get them back. 31 Do to others as you would like them to do to you. 32 “If you love only those who love you, why should you get credit for that? Even sinners love those who love them! 33 And if you do good only to those who do good to you, why should you get credit? Even sinners do that much! 34 And if you lend money only to those who can repay you, why should you get credit? Even sinners will lend to other sinners for a full return. 35 “Love your enemies! Do good to them. Lend to them without expecting to be repaid. Then your reward from heaven will be very great, and you will truly be acting as children of the Most High, for he is kind to those who are unthankful and wicked. 36 You must be compassionate, just as your Father is compassionate.

Jesus love you and if you accept him today as your Lord and personal saviour, you will experience His power of love and forgiveness.

Thanks.

For goodness sake, if this statement is truly from Alhaji Laid Mohammed, why can't he just shut up? Must he talk? That he is a minister of information doesn't mean he should just talk without thinking (am sorry for using that strong word).

Let assume the equipments bought by Jonathan administration are truly faulty and fake, can't Buratai and co assess those equipments to confirm they are fine. Was it not soldier like Buratai that bought them?

Let them go and assess other equipments to be sure of their status lets there be any disaster that Jonathan will be blamed for.

Ok...good news. Can we now divide the country now? They will say NO because nothing was found, including Lagos. The biggest scam in the world is Lagos putting groundnut oil in a jar, added some black ink, claiming to have found oil. Who puts crude oil in a jar to make a statement if not to deceive people. SMH. There is an axiom...if you truly have something, there is no need proving to have that.

It is obvious you don't know anything about petroleum exploration. Next time don't talk too much on what you don't. Folawiyo is producing oil from their field located offshore Lagos. I have worked on their rock samples. They are not proving anything but making cool money.

As muslims, we believe in all the prophets. One of the signs of the last day is Prophet Isa AS(JESUS) returning to earth. Why are we fighting

My sister, even the devil believe in Jesus. FALSE prophet and teachers believe in Jesus.

Do you believe in His word? Do you believe in Him that you cannot get to God except through Him. John 14:6 Jesus told him, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me."

See what Jesus said again. Have you obeyed it.

Matt.11:25-30
25 At that time Jesus began to say, I thank You, Father, Lord of heaven and earth [and [h] I acknowledge openly and joyfully to Your honor], that You have hidden these things from the wise and clever and learned, and revealed them to babies [to the [i] childish, untaught, and unskilled].

26 Yes, Father, [I praise You that] such was Your gracious will and good pleasure.

27 All things have been entrusted and delivered to Me by My Father; and no one [j] fully knows and [k] accurately understands the Son except the Father, and no one [l] fully knows and [m] accurately understands the Father except the Son and anyone to whom the Son [n] deliberately wills to make Him known.

28 Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy-laden and overburdened, and I will cause you to rest. [I will [o] ease and relieve and [p] refresh [q] your souls.]

29 Take My yoke upon you and learn of Me, for I am gentle (meek) and humble (lowly) in heart, and you will find rest ( [r] relief and ease and refreshment and [s] recreation and blessed quiet) for your souls. (E)

30 For My yoke is wholesome (useful, [t] good--not harsh, hard, sharp, or pressing, but comfortable, gracious, and pleasant), and My burden is light and easy to be borne.

Jesus is the first and only begotten son of God.... Jesus is not God but his son, the doctrine of Trinity explains God the father:- the head of the organization God the son:- Jesus Christ the door that leads to God, and God the holy spirit the acting force, the angels... therefore they are 3in1 body... Jesus is the first creation of God... in Genesis when God says come let create man on our own image who do u think he is referring to point of corrections Jesus is not God but his first creation

I know u are a Jehovah Witness member. I will not bother to take you on Jesus. I know He is God and anyone that have Holy Spirit as his or her teacher has no problem in understanding bible.

Know that Holy Spirit is not a force. Bible recorded it that Holy Spirit is God, Teacher and Comforter. Get it right so that you can permit Him to live in and with you as your God, Teacher, Comforter and Counselor.

Acts 5:3-4
3.But Peter said, Ananias, why has Satan filled your heart that you should lie to and attempt to deceive the Holy Spirit, and should [in violation of your promise] withdraw secretly and appropriate to your own use part of the price from the sale of the land?
4 As long as it remained unsold, was it not still your own? And [even] after it was sold, was not [the money] at your disposal and under your control? Why then, is it that you have proposed and purposed in your heart to do this thing? [How could you have the heart to do such a deed?] You have not [simply] lied to men [playing false and showing yourself utterly deceitful] but to God.
John 15:16
16. But when the Comforter (Counselor, Helper, Advocate, Intercessor, Strengthener, Standby) comes, Whom I will send to you from the Father, the Spirit of Truth Who comes (proceeds) from the Father, He [Himself] will testify regarding Me.
John 16:12-15
12 I have still many things to say to you, but you are not able to bear them or to take them upon you or to grasp them now.
13 But when He, the Spirit of Truth (the Truth-giving Spirit) comes, He will guide you into all the Truth (the whole, full Truth). For He will not speak His own message [on His own authority]; but He will tell whatever He hears [from the Father; He will give the message that has been given to Him], and He will announce and declare to you the things that are to come [that will happen in the future].
14 He will honor and glorify Me, because He will take of (receive, draw upon) what is Mine and will reveal (declare, disclose, transmit) it to you.
15 Everything that the Father has is Mine. That is what I meant when I said that He [the Spirit] will take the things that are Mine and will reveal (declare, disclose, transmit) it to you.
