  1. This is what book of Romans chapter 1 verse 16-32 has to say:
    The Just Live by Faith
    16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ,[a] for it is the power of God to salvation for everyone who believes, for the Jew first and also for the Greek. 17 For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith to faith; as it is written, “The just shall live by faith.”[b]

    God’s Wrath on Unrighteousness
    18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who suppress the truth in unrighteousness, 19 because what may be known of God is manifest in them, for God has shown it to them. 20 For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead, so that they are without excuse, 21 because, although they knew God, they did not glorify Him as God, nor were thankful, but became futile in their thoughts, and their foolish hearts were darkened. 22 Professing to be wise, they became fools, 23 and changed the glory of the incorruptible God into an image made like corruptible man—and birds and four-footed animals and creeping things.

    24 Therefore God also gave them up to uncleanness, in the lusts of their hearts, to dishonor their bodies among themselves, 25 who exchanged the truth of God for the lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen.

    26 For this reason God gave them up to vile passions. For even their women exchanged the natural use for what is against nature. 27 Likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust for one another, men with men committing what is shameful, and receiving in themselves the penalty of their error which was due.

    28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a debased mind, to do those things which are not fitting; 29 being filled with all unrighteousness, sexual immorality,[c] wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, evil-mindedness; they are whisperers, 30 backbiters, haters of God, violent, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, 31 undiscerning, untrustworthy, unloving, unforgiving,[d] unmerciful; 32 who, knowing the righteous judgment of God, that those who practice such things are deserving of death, not only do the same but also approve of those who practice them.

    • Not interested Stanley….none of it. And I won’t waste my time reading your posts. Don’t expect a response to anything in your sermons. Religion and Politics …….I’m not about to discuss with you. We have nothing in common except if you have a sincere interest in tennis.

  2. Hey Stanley…ermm..which one i’m going to say first?…Err..yeah..

    1]This is also my last comment to u Stanley…i know you’re the least favourable person here[sorry about that Stanley]…and i read everything what u wrote here…and i know u don’t like/hate Islam and many other things that totally the opposite from my beloved and dear poster’s here stand for…still i choose to respond to u when u ask me a question a while ago and automatically offered a friendship branch to me…by right,i should hate or dislike u at least because of your stand especially when u hate/dislike Islam..what u wrote about Prophet Muhammad in your earlier post really really hurts me…i believe to live in peace in this world is to respect and loving each other..no matter what their stands,their religion,their race,their colour…Prophet Muhammad before he died,he already gave a multiple of advice to his followers[a sacred words,we have to abide them no matter what]…one of them was that to live in peace in this world,to respect and to love not only among us Muslims but with ALL human being in this world regardless of their religion,race,colour or principles…there’s one time when one of his neighbour died,and he’s a jew….and Prophet Muhammad attended his funeral and gave him his last respect…so,with that been said…that is why i responded to u in the first place…i choose to receive/accept your friendship brunch because to me,you’re just another human being whom i should befriended since you’re the one who say HELLO first…to make u an enemy will only make me opposed to what Prophet Muhammad told us to do…and broken a bond between human being is a very very big sin in Islam…i could ignore u but i don’t want to,not only because of my religion but because of my brought up too…i’m a very soft,gentle and very humble human being..and i can’t ignore when someone spoke to me…it’s not in my nature to do that…

    To me,if someone got a different stand or principles from us and it’s normal,just take a look at us..there’s a white people,there’s black,there’s brown[like me] and we’re also love/like a different things in life…to fight about this,to me is not a solution..we’re only going to hurt each other in the end …and what next?Can we solve the real problem by fighting?I leave u to answer that Stanley…Like i said up there stanley,this is the last time we’re going to chat with each other..and i’m just going to say..NICE MEETING U STANLEY..i believe there’s a 2 side in every each of us..there’s a bad and there’s a good side..and i also believe that you’re a good brother,son,uncle,nephew,grandson,friend to your loved one..and this side that i choose to befriended…i also can’t treat u differently because who am i to judge u when i’m also got an ugliness,weakness,flaws in me…as a human being,we’re all got them…no one is perfect except GOD and to Muslims[Prophet Muhammad,he’s not make one single sin or fault in his life]..and to u maybe your jesus,right?

    So,Stanley..i wish u all the best and hope you’re going to have a very successful,healthy and happy life okay?…so,Goodbye Stanley…VAMOS!!

  3. The Bible teaches that GOD loves the sinner but hates the sin because the wages of sin is death( separation from GOD for all eternity).

    In John 3:15-21 it says: 15 that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life. 16 For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. 17 For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved.

    18 “He who believes in Him is not condemned; but he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. 19 And this is the condemnation, that the light has come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. 20 For everyone practicing evil hates the light and does not come to the light, lest his deeds should be exposed. 21 But he who does the truth comes to the light, that his deeds may be clearly seen, that they have been done in God.”

  4. GOD loves the THEIF but hates stealing.
    GOD loves the ADULTERER but hates adultery.
    GOD loves the HOMOSEXUAL but hates the unnatural, wicked perversion of homosexuality.
    GOD loves that woman that have aborted her baby and that man/woman that has supported it but hates the murdering of defenceless, innocent children.
    GOD loves the TRANSGENDER but hates the willful deception of transgenderism.

    All this sins GOD hates and more but loves the the sinner, JESUS died for my sins and yours freely and we can receive Forgiveness, Mercy and Grace if we put our trust in him.

    It is not loving to allow a person to remain stuck in sin. It is not hateful to tell a person he or she is in sin. In fact, the exact opposites are true. Sin leads to death (James 1:15), and we love the sinner by speaking the truth in love (Ephesians 4:15). We hate the sin by refusing to condone, ignore, or excuse it.
    Am not your enemy, am not an intruder or a disrupter, am a friend that is willing to tell you the truth no matter what.
    No one should support or practice any form of EVIL, but even when we do because no one is perfect we should recognize it for what it is and repent from it.
    GOD is always willing to forgive those who come to him in humble repentance seeking for forgiveness and mercy.

    RIGHT would always be RIGHT and WRONG would always be WRONG.
    Men/women can put in laws or change laws but Godly morals will never change.
    A thousand years from now, a billion years from now RIGHT will always be RIGHT because Godly morals transcends time.

  5. JESUS said:
    “Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness’ sake, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

    “Blessed are you when others revile you and persecute you and utter all kinds of evil against you falsely on my account. Rejoice and be glad, for your reward is great in heaven, for so they persecuted the prophets who were before you.

    “You are the salt of the earth, but if salt has lost its taste, how shall its saltiness be restored? It is no longer good for anything except to be thrown out and trampled under people’s feet.

    “You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden. Nor do people light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a stand, and it gives light to all in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven( Matthew 5:10-16).

    Am praying for you!

    • Pray for yourself racist stanley. You need it more than anyone here.

      But more importantly, check your medication expiry date.

      • I am not as generous as Mira Andi. I despise Stanley’s endless ranting and throwing the Bible in our faces. I despise him calling those of us murderers. who believe with all our hearts in a woman’s right to choose. It’s vile and beyond insulting for anyone to throw around that kind of language. Too many women have died in the past because of illegal abortions. There is NO way that this country will ever go back to those days.

        Taking the words back f the Bible literally and not taking into account anything else is ignorance personified. From what I have read about Jesus, he was a man of love and generosity is spirit. Stanley’s words are not ones of love or generosity. He condemns others in the harshest of words. He speaks as though he is speaking for God, but the God I believe in is not one of hatred, fear, anger and revenge. There is no compassion in his words.

        America is a nation that is ruled by the Constitution. A nation of laws. Not a nation that is ruled by religion or the Bible.

        Stanley is preaching hatred and divisiveness.i cannot abide that. He keeps quoting the Bible over and over again compulsively without thinking about who Jesus really was and what he believed in.

        Not everyone has to agree with or live by the Bible. I was brought up by my parents to think for myself and challenge those who presumed to know everything or speak for others.

        So it is with the likes of Stanley, the ultimate hypocrite.

          • rc,

            Thank you. It’s something I have wanted to say for a while now. But I needed to wait until so could do do without emotion. I needed to say it calmly and also to find polite words in the English language to express it.

            The accusations about abortion have offended me to tge very marrow of my being. Women have the right under the Constitution, the law of this country, to have reproductive freedom and control of their bodies.

            It’s interesting that the Republicans are all about the free market and no regulations when it comes to business and finance. Laissez-faire is the order of the day. But when it comes to women’s bodies and their right to be free from interference from the state, the Republicans are not okay with that. They want to make it harder for women to get abortions, want to defund Planned Parenthood, which does so much more than just abortions when it comes to providing reproduction health services for women who might not be able to afford it.

            If you have ever heard about a woman who died of an illegal abortion, you would never forget it. I had a friend years ago who told me how her mother died if an illegal abortion when she was only 12 years old. Even decades later, she broke down talking about it. That should never happen to any woman!

            Thank goodness we are not a theocracy and are a nation of laws. People cannot impose their religious beliefs on others.

            I waited until I could say it the way I wanted to say it.

            Thank you for gettIng it!

        • Mira Andi,

          Thanks for the messages as always! You know I wasn’t posting about Rafa and Fed’s match. That was the first clue that something was wrong. I was in the hospital so I never saw it! I asked someone for the score and when I heard it, then I was glad that I didn’t see it!

          I would never not be here for Rafa! I am doing better. The worst is behind me!

          I guess we are both stuck with each other!
