alaoeri: That's what ppl don't understand, they fold their hands doing nothing & keep asking God for help, our conditions won't change until ωε change ourselves. Heaven helps those who help themselves.

googlepikin: [size=20pt]i have a dream that one day all dis african countries will all be trying to come to Nigeria to do business(ghanaians).i see steady light in Jesus name![/size]

Dibiachukwu: Islam and christainity and judaism and buddism and hinduism are all of the devil! Paganism and plagiarism is their forte.

emmasege: Africa seems to be the last hope of Christianity. I used to think that the strong influence of catholicism in the western nations could still help preserve the faith of our fathers for a longer period in those nations. If Africa will be able to earnestly contend for the faith b4 the son of man returns is another concern. Little wonder in more than 2000 yrs ago, the omniscient Lord asked if he would still find the faith on earth when he returns. It's pathetic that the church now has anti-christs who now parade themselves as Christ's ambassadors, and the most disturbing thing is that they convince and confuse the weak in the way, thereby populating hell and depopulating heaven.

achovirux: If God in the begining look at Adam and said he needs a helper or a companion he(God))would have given Adam another strong man,No he gave Adam 'eve'therefore from the view of human creation Gay is against God's wish.Is all human wicked invention.

peppy luv: stupid gay,u think my church supports ur devilish act? U need deliverance that's y my pope isn't judging u and mind u he said he isn't judging a repentant gay!

9ja-bouy:
d pope is confused.u can't accept Christ n still b gay cos it is against d bible teachings

trolling: the question is where does the thought or desire comes from,once you seal the source of those desires,then and only then will it/they cease to exist

khattab02: Gay only brings about DESTRUCTION And WRATH OF ALMIGHTY GOD AS TO SODOM AND GOMORRAH.

Dibiachukwu: Catholism is of the devil!

masonkz: And in the eyes of your God, this is an evidence of sin too.

So by this, are you going to hell or not?

trolling: where does homosexuality come from,its comes from an unclean spirit,its a desire given to them by a .....like the Bible said if you do well you shall be accepted and if you dont do well,sin lies at your door and unto you shall be "his" desire,so we see that they are possessed with this unclean spirit and there's nothing they can do about it unless its purged out,its just like every one of us who has unclean innate desires

Jeezuzpick: Y'know, at the risk og soundin' like some peeps carping "end time tingz" on NL, pls remember, God told us in the Bible that the end will be "like the days of Noah".

What do those days as recorded have in common with the days we now live in?

Sin had become acceptable, the "in" thing, and even worse, we who call ourselves good people or "straight" (meaning homos are bent or skewed) are so snug in our conceit that we don't realise we're just as bad!!

What am I saying? To all who care to listen: sin no get grade!!



From the occasional "fibber" to the gay to the serial killer, we're all on the same level. We all need help!

So, Lady, pray for yourself, too!!

luchy34: In as much as I detest the pope's statement, in way its true who are we to judge homosexuals, let us leave them to God!! (But finally to hell with all of them) yuck!

lertee: I thought a pope is meant to be aa father and he would be a virgin or at worst he won't go near sex,how come this christian pope is gay....so christinity does support homosexuality,wow so much to learn everyday

moodswing: When diplomacy and politics is introduced in religion, there's bound to be insanity at the highest level.







I ain't a Catholic and will never be, but this pope obviously didn't know that there's a limit.



Pontiff sir, you goofed and God won't be happy with you, because homosexuality was why God destroyed soddom and gomorrah. May God forgive you.

ocelot2006: And what about those that nailed our Lord and Saviour to the cross? Did they all repent even after he had forgiven them before He died?

Hezron Lorraine: I'm not surprised at all.Since when have I been Mentioning it on Nairaland.
The day he was announced Pope.I saw he was from Argentina,one of the earliest pace-setterd of gay marriage.
I argued this with my friends then,I said,he's from A country that has a free-inclusive society no matter the identification.With how strong the Catholic's church Anti-gay Stance is,it couldn't peneterate the hearts of the arfentines to kick out gay rights ad gay marriage.He's visiting,Brazil,another gay capital of the world.
Gbola,I told you when he went to Brazil,that gays would be a topic cause its a gathering of the youths.you debated this,but now,who's right.



Though,he's neither lobbying or supporting Gay Rights and Gay marriage.He's being Indifferent as to why Christians and Catholic church should use religion as the force against another person's life.
Your Holiness,Pope Francis,I'm not Catholic,but I predicted that you were different from the first day.Thank You for Upholding the true and Righteous words of Christ.
Well,tommorow we may still argue on some doctrines you support,but with this,you earned my respect!your grace.


Let's see what our African die-hard Catholics got to say.Maybe they'll secceed like what happened in Church of England(anglican communion).

But Yet the Corruption, Poverty and Undevelopment in Our Country cant be compared To Argentina. But we enjoy Judging Peolple. Even if Gay marriage is ban from Africa they'll still be Gay. . They'll just hide themselves in our shadows

nonen: The Bible’s Viewpoint

Is Homosexuality Ever Justifiable?

THE practice of homosexuality continues to gain acceptance in many lands. A group in one church in the United States is calling for a reinterpretation of what the Bible says about homosexuality in light of “contemporary wisdom.” A pastor in Brazil who recently entered into a same-sex marriage also encouraged “taking a fresh look at the Bible,” so as to allow for his church’s contemporary view.

On the other hand, those who do not approve of homosexual acts are often tagged as homophobic or prejudiced. What does the Bible really say about homosexuality?
Don't forget to read the scripts about thiefs, fruadsters, Child marriage, Murderers, Corruption, Because we already have those here in Naija and its not the Pope's Fault.

What Does the Bible Say?

The Bible does not promote prejudice against people. However, its view of homosexual acts is clear.

“You must not lie down with a male the same as you lie down with a woman. It is a detestable thing.”—Leviticus 18:22.

As part of the Mosaic Law, this prohibition was one of many moral laws given specifically to the nation of Israel. Even so, the commandment expresses God’s view of homosexual acts, whether by Jews or non-Jews, when it says: “It is a detestable thing.” The nations around Israel practiced homosexuality, incest, adultery, and other acts prohibited by the Law. Therefore, God viewed those nations as unclean. (Leviticus 18:24, 25) Did the Bible’s viewpoint change during the Christian era? Consider the following scripture:

“God gave them up to disgraceful sexual appetites, for both their females changed the natural use of themselves into one contrary to nature; and likewise even the males left the natural use of the female and became violently inflamed in their lust toward one another, males with males, working what is obscene.”—Romans 1:26, 27.

Why does the Bible describe homosexual acts as unnatural and obscene? Because they involve sexual activity that was not intended by our Creator. Homosexual acts cannot produce offspring. The Bible compares homosexual activity to the sexual relations that rebellious angels, who came to be known as demons, had with women before the Deluge of Noah’s day. (Genesis 6:4; 19:4, 5; Jude 6, 7) God views both acts as unnatural.

Factors That Justify Homosexuality?

Some may wonder, ‘Would genetics, environment, or traumatic life experiences, such as sexual abuse, justify one’s giving in to homosexual desires?’ No, they would not. Consider this example: A person may have what some scientists consider to be hereditary tendencies toward alcohol abuse, or he may have been raised in a family where alcohol abuse was commonplace. Certainly, most people would be empathetic toward a person in such circumstances. All the same, by no means would he be encouraged to continue abusing alcohol or to give up his fight against alcohol abuse just because he may have been born with the tendency or he was raised in such an environment.

Likewise, while the Bible does not condemn those who struggle with homosexual tendencies, it in no way condones giving in to those tendencies, whether they are the result of genetics or they stem from some other source. (Romans 7:21-25; 1 Corinthians 9:27) Instead, the Bible offers practical assistance and encouragement to help individuals to win the fight against homosexual practices.

What Is God’s Will for People With Homosexual Desires?[/b]

The Bible assures us that God’s will is that “all sorts of men should be saved and come to an accurate knowledge of truth.” (1 Timothy 2:4) Though the Bible disapproves of homosexual acts, it does not encourage hatred of homosexuals.

God’s view of homosexuality cannot be watered down. At 1 Corinthians 6:9, 10, the Bible clearly states that “men who lie with men” are included in those who “will not inherit God’s kingdom.” But verse 11 adds the comforting thought: “And yet that is what some of you were. But you have been washed clean, but you have been sanctified, but you have been declared righteous in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ and with the spirit of our God.”

Clearly, those who sincerely desired to worship God on his terms were warmly welcomed into the early Christian congregation. The same is true today for all honesthearted ones who seek God’s approval—not by reinterpreting the Bible—but by bringing their lives into harmony with it.

SPEED5: . There is no point for him to speak in un straight words. His stand is meant to be clear. His coment simply shows his acceptance of GAY
