Inbreeding was permitted at that time because of the scarcity of people of Isreal at that time. But from the days of MOSES till date, it has been an abomination, my dear ignorant lousy folk.

LEVITICUS 18: 13 "You shall not uncover the unclothedness of yourmother'ssister, for she is your mother's relative."

from that same leviticus

BAZETU12:
MAY GOD AV MERCY ON U TOO.DAT POPE NA DEVIL I STIL REPEAT IT AGIAN,BECOS I DONT SEE GOD SPIRIT IN HIM

I wish we would all see the hidden things of this world...especially in Rome

obailala:
So in essence, you are saying some sins are stronger than others?... This is a statement I definitely agree with, however I also agree with the pope that just the same way we as men have no biblical rights to judge, condemn and stone adulterers to death, we also have no rights biblically to mete out those treatments to gays; we can only just tell them to repent just like every other sinner.

Then he is supposed to focus on that, instead of making them comfortable with their evil. Which homosexual will read those carnal words from the mouth of a highly revered man and not be enticed instead of soberness? Absolutely none. Rather it calls for more homosexual celebration and emboldened them to step out for more perverseness.

This pope is the prophesies false prophet. The sooner u know it, the probability u deliver yourself from the coming "strong delusion."

Then, they were closer to perfection than we are today. Also, there was no one else to marry.

As generations of humans kept growing the breeding pool grew. Under the Mosaic Law, incest of any form was taboo. There was no longer any need for incest as the breeding pool was now very large.

I hope you still stay away from ur wife or girlfriend for seven days n you don't eat any food ur mum or wife cook when they are unclean as prescribed by ur Bible

HurtgenForest:


Why are you like this?

THE CHURCH SHOULD AND MUST CONDEMN THEM.

The bible is very clear on homosexuality; it is a no no.

Just the way fornication, adultery, murder is condemned in the bible so is homosexualism condemned too.

Are you sick this man?

Hmm I believe judging your fellow man is also condemned in this bible....you know...judge not so that you shall not be judged...lest you be judged in the same measure as you judge others...

Just saying...

End time things. Catholic Church (The end-time Babylon) is girding her loins to reveal her true nature. Many will be drunk from the dregs of her lawlessness and harlotry.

The pope is only acting out what has been foretold. He is the harbinger of all that the AntiChrist will be.

Be sensitive. Don't let your ignorance lead you to eternal damnation

This is exactly why I no longer go to church........henceforth I don't belong to ny church or go to any church.....if this story is true..........imagine a whole pop !!!! Is it not coz of this same sin that jesus destroyed soldom and gomoroh......***well am just busy playing my best traditional music....by ozuemena Nwa nsugbe tilttle uka na omenala .......to hell with the church

If Jesus Christ died for every one, no matter the magnitude of our sins, with out laying any judgemt on us, by asking His father to forgive us bcs we don't know what we r doing. then, who r we to judge others, whilst we r not even sure of our selves. Gay whether homo or lesb for me is a sacrilege, but I think we shld condem the act not the people and pray for them to repent. Many r committing fornication and adultery, even at this minute, but they still hide their own sacrilege and keep on pointing an accusing finger on others. We should all repent and give our life to Jesus Christ.

Lukay99:


Are you now saying it's OK to say "who am I to judge the gay people" ? I think this Pope is playing politics he wanted to be politically correct.

Even though I'm a Muslim I still strongly believe the Bible don't support the act of gay or lesbianism(sin) I strongly believe muslims or Christians have every right to judge one another.

Let me ask you or the Pope this question if you have a son that's about to get married to a female who's profession is prostitution(ashawo) and she's still prostituting, will you as a parent say nothing or do nothing at least to your son or will you still be saying who are you to be judging others? It's your duty to point(advice) your child or any one who's heading in the wrong direction your duty is to point them in the right path (which is a way of judging them) or if you owned a business and I'm seeking employment from your company is it not your duty to conduct an interview(judge me ) to see if I'm qualified to work in your company?

As a Muslim there are many things I respect within Christianity but believe me this current Pope is not one them he acts like a politician the truth may be bitter but he likes to sugarcoat the truth, real men of god should be able to say the truth like it is

In as much as the Pope was saying nonsense, he got me in that aspect "who am I to judge gay people ". Because really, we are nobody to judge and my Bible clearly tells me that "Thou shall not judge ". Thus, I stand on my opinion

Akshow:
from that same leviticus IMAGE

We CONDEMN SIN AND REBUKE SINNERS, which you, an unrepentant genre and the ungodly generations termed bigotry and hatred for your selfsatisfaction and justification of your wickedness.

Those in the veil of Christianity may have justified fornications but a true Christian whose bible is the standard will always discourage it.
We do not judge you. In the last days, the same bible we taught you will judge you.

How can you compare terrorist to people's sexual orientation? That's sick bro. And to think you got some likes.

that sexual orientation was what brind distruction on Sodom and Gomorra
Bro, I think reading the book of leviticus will make you see how God hate people that practice that act
He said any man that lieth with a man like himself should be "CUT OFF" from his people

Bro, this is end time and we should not allow Satan to blindfold us with something that is not biblica

Peace bro.

Beware of ur Anal bro.

misreal:
lol...mr pope if i should apologize to homosexuals,then i think i should also apologize to isis and bokoharam.because a sin is a sin..

thats it!

Certainly, millions of people will misunderstood Pope's comment. Too bad.

Pope is not God....Only the Will of GOD MUST Stand.

Luckylife:
I never heard it was a Christian that killed 49 gays in Orlando ! So how come Christians should apologise to gays and lesbians?

i think wat u should worry about is that ur pope is indirectly supporting gays and lesbians. The gay priest comes to mind. Xtianity is a big joke.

coolviv:

Just saying what the devil and homosexuals want you to say. It is not of God. We rebuke sinners and attempt to dissuade them from sin, whose consequence is death.
How then can you call that judge or condemnation? Its the bible that we preached that condemns them not us. We tell them what the bible says.

The strong delusion is coming, if u keeping romancing yourself with pope and the wicked, you may not escape. Which spells eternal doom. Dont fall for enticing words and propaganda from false teachers and prophets. You have been warned/...on Nairaland.

The Bible is clear that "fornicators, idolaters, adulterers, men who submit to homosexual acts will not inherit the kingdom of God "(1 Corinthians 6:9-11) Yes we should not be misled, even by the Pope.

you just said my mind pope is not my standard bible is my standard by the way am not surprised it's coming from a pontiff it's all the sign of end time i pity countless of souls this his words will lead to hell

obailala:


Just to clarify, the pope did not say it is not a sin, he has only said the church would be wrong to discriminate / condemn them; that should be left for God himself.

I see no reason why this vain philosophy should be allowed to creep into the body of Christ. Jehovah destroyed Sodom and gommorah cos of this dastardly act.
Even God called homosexual an abomination in the Bible

/

. Isa 58:1 "Cry aloud, spare not, lift up thy voice like a trumpet, and shew my people their transgression, and the house of Jacob their sins. "
This is a command from God himself to who ever is his faithful minister. Pope cannot claim to love sinners more than Jesus himself who laid down his life for them.
I cannot remember the numbers of WOES Jesus pronounced against unrepentant sinners in his ministry.

David was conscious of his sins and saw himself unfit to preach to sinners. He cried out to God to forgive and purge his guilty heart, only then will he be bold in correcting and openly rebuke sinners to turn their lives unto God. God answered his prayers.



Psalm 51: 5, 7, 13.

(5  Behold, I was shapen in iniquity; and in sin did my mother conceive me.

 7  Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean: wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow

 13  Then will I teach transgressors thy ways; and sinners shall be converted unto thee.)

You can't live in sin and think guilt will allow you to speak against it. Your confession will always be " we are sinners ".

The guilty sinner men of God are sinners sympathizers. Telling sinners in their congregation " you know we are all sinners, we cannot judge, we are not God, Jesus is a friend of sinners, he even ate with them"

Where did you see Jesus eating with sinners and they never repent? where did you see Jesus being so close to sinners and never repent?
Is it the Samaritan woman at the well or the prostitute that came to him with precious ontiment ? They all repented and obtain the promised forgiveness and pardon for their sins and thus become Saints.

Where did you see him in intimacy with the harden Pharisees, Saducees and the religious Chief priests? Why, because :
" 24  But Jesus did not commit himself unto them, because he knew all men,

 25  And needed not that any should testify of man: for he knew what was in man. " (John 2: 24,25)

Jesus Christ show compassion to all remorseful and sorrowful sinners ready to repent where ever he find them. Even the few among those mentioned above.
But the arrogant, and recalcitrant hypocrites,
he cured and pronounced woes.

God only stand with those that stand for his truth and uphold his holiness in their lifestyle.

Ogar pope I hope u know what u are saying, u are encouraging gay n lesbianism abi?OK we are watching g from afar

I weep the way some future leaders are reasoning. They full my facebook friends list, people like James, Ogunmade, GP are the folks who thinks through their anus most time. Those guys love to jump into conclusion without reading the thread/script line by line and comprehend it. Likewise the way some guys are throwing rubble to Pope here too.


The pope only said the church would be wrong to discriminate/condemn them(Gay). Therefore, that should be left for God judgement Not we but God. This was enshrined in the bible even Mattew 7:2. Said for with what judgement ye judge, so you wouldn't be judged. And with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again.


Like Grandstar comment here with many bible verses to buttress his stances but i still against by propagating my cogent points with the same bible verse.. My take is that ' let leave everything for God till judgement day not we human beings to judge.


The bible that condemn Adultery but Jesus Christ did not chase away the prostitution that was about to be stoned by the Pharisee, then who are we to judge and condemn homosexuality?.


Finally, the pope said that church must ask forgiveness for not behaving many times when i say the church, i mean christians! The church is Holy, we are the sinners!

Quoter of the Bible, I hail thee... probably, u never read where it is said that judgement belongs to God... Also, probably u never read what Jesus said "He who is without sin should cast the first stone" .... Read ur Bible and understand that it is basically talking about forgiveness and love... Christ died for you, he died for our sins, yet we still sin, and he always forgives and loves us... Y'all condemning them, is wrong, u can try to change them and not judge them, that's God's part. leave am for am... I no be the holiest and I am not comfortable around them, but the Holy Father is right... and I understand the Bible so...
