The gay community was plunged into mourning Sunday when a contestant in the Miss Galaxy World 2011 contest died in the midst of the show.

Shawn Bubbles Waterman was leading the competition on points when he collapsed and was declared dead during the wee hours of Sunday at the Plantation Garden Theatre.

Waterman, 27, was a crowd favourite and a hit with the judges as he was ahead on points following an impressive talent, swimwear and costume display, appearing as Miss Bahamas.

    The gay individual is a human being as well and we empathize with his passing away. Now he has to account for his belief and his deeds and the All Mighty Allah will judge him without a single trace of injustice.

    Divine scriptures teaches us that homosexuality is wrong in the sight of the Most High, so are other sins. The danger with widespread homosexuality today is that they argue that homosexuality is natural, normal and correct. This is a very destructive teaching and this is one of the major ills of homosexuality in a society. It forces people to accept this as correct, it is dictatorship and it contaminates the difference between right and wrong.

    We felt a 4.4 earthquake this a little after midnight. Allah is sending a warning to this nation as well as St. Lucia. When we fail to understand, Allah will unleash a stronger earthquake to crumble the houses like Haiti. The way of Allah never changes. Dominicans, wake up, turn from your wicked ways. Come to Islam.

    Do you see what is going on in the UK right now? These evil people lauched a war against Islam. They killed millions of muslims through their war for oil. When billions of dollars are spent on war their economy collapses, high taxes on the people, etc. causing deep recession.

    When you try to fight the believers in Allah, Allah will punish you pure and simple.

    No sin is greater than the other. All Sin is sin. Murder, rape, stealing, adultry and homosexuality.

    However, we cannot hold one greater than the other. It is ok if man has five women and a woman has 3 man. It is all wrong.

    If I had to choose a sin that is the worst, but remember all are equal. It would be murder. When some is killed they are not coming back and know one is without sin.

    Amen

    The enemy is like a roaring lion seeking whom he may devour. If a man does not believe in something, sometimes we cannot blame him. See what the bible has to say about some: 2cor 4:4 -The god of this age has blinded the minds of unbelievers, so that they cannot see the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God.(NIV)How can we expect man to see themselves as the image of God if they are blind? We need to repent of our own sins, so that we do not fall into condemnation and ask God to show us how to share the gospel with those who are blinded by the God of this world.

    The bible also tells us that some are of hardened hearts. When someone has a hard heart, nothing can penetrate it. Here here, let’s now not only pray that this veil be removed from their eyes but also from their hearts, so that it can be softened to receive the word of God. I would rather be wrong with the Bible any day, than right with man and their agnostic ways…”Father forgive them for they know not what they do”…

  7. Perspective
    August 9, 2011

    There’s a story in the Bible about some people who died in an accident. The disciples thought those people were being punished for their wickedness. Jesus told his disciples that the victims were not worse people than anyone else but we all need to repent. Luke 13:1-4

    God loves all people equally no matter how much they sin and that includes gays. Yes, what they’re doing is wrong but who can stand in front of God and say they don’t have sin in their life? Hell is not just for gays. It’s for everyone who rejects Jesus and thinks they can be good enough to get into heaven. Worry about where you will be going before you start on the gays.

    Why did God create Male and Female?
    He set the pattern:male and female.
    Not male and male or female amd female/

    I am not a fan of the gay community and how they choose to live their life,its on them. Now that said, to all the holy people out there claiming that god did this need to look at themselves, they steal in so many ways with no regrets, some cheat on their spouces, some treat their mother and father with disrespect,some murder, most lie,as for envy its in the blood. just check what you say about your neighbors. All these will be judged by the same god.

    1 Peter 2:24, “and He Himself bore our sins in His body on the cross, that we might die to sin and live to righteousness; for by His wounds you were healed.”

    1 Corinthians 6:9
    Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind,

    Christ died for all, adulterers, fornicators, thieves, liars, corrupt leaders, rude children..even homosexuals….so we as “””Christians”””” born-again believers we always need to teach the word of God even to them, so that they may turn from their wicked ways and know Christ as lord and personal Savior! To avoid eternal damnation in hell.

    I just hope this was an awaken for at-least one person and they repent of their ways…God don’t seek that none should perish but for all to have eternal live through the blood of his son. God is merciful, but he is also a God of wrath. For the wages of sin is DEATH, BUT BUT the gift of God(salvation) is eternal LIFE

    Leviticus 20 shows us that all sexual sin is punishable by burning the sinner…So you foolish people who say fire burn “batty man”be mindful that if you aren’t saved you will be with the “batty man” in the same fire…But GLORY BE TO GOD, BUT JESUS JESUS DIED SO THAT WE WON’T BURN, BUT MIND YOU THEY ONLY WAS TO AVOID HELL IS IF WE ACCEPT JESUS AS SAVIOR. I used to say hate towards them too…but when I gave my life to Christ and study his word I saw that at the end, there is heaven and hell….and people can hate any one particular sin and practices another they will all end up the same place….HELLLLLLL…..SO IF YOU AS A SINNER DON’T ACCEPT JESUS AS SAVIOR HELL IS UR HOME FOR ETERNITY…People don’t be foolish! I don’t see how people can send stone at one person for their wicked ways, when the caster himself have his own wickedness hiding undercover…People we have all sinned and come short of the glory of God… I don’t not encourage any form of sin….It hurts my father, and I am called to please him…..so I will rebuke sin, but I will tell the sinner salvation is avaliable!!!

  18. August 8, 2011

    Jesus spoke about Eunuchs–men who were born that way, men who were made so, by their fellow man–meaning castration; men who chose, by their own will, to be so for the purpose of serving God. All of these men lived or is living a celibate and normal Life, as human beings.

    So it is clear that homosexuallity is a learned habit, praticed by men of a carnal mind, because of neglect, disobedience, and rebel against God and His Ways of Love.

    Unfortunately, in all our chosen habits–homosexuallity and all–we justify our attitude and conducts by claiming to have rights as human beings.

    Tragically, we fail to realize that it is not rights that is important, but it Life in us that makes the difference. For Life functions by the mind of God, the mind of Spirit and Truth.

    As if it is not bad enough for homosexuals, that they have chosen to conducts sexual relationship with men like themselves–they must also make a public spectacle of the shame that they conduct or practice wherever they roam. For they want to be recognized.

    They want gay parade, they want hugging and kissing in public, they want the riht to get married, demanding to be treated like normal husband and wife–through devouce and other conflicts of marriage. It is the deman for this, that, and the other thing that was made for normal coupels. Now it is about pegeant shows etc, etc,

    Because of a God who is slow to anger, the majority believe that they are getting away with it–yeah they have their rights as human beings; and society allow them to have their wants.

    Well there comes a time that God says: Now you have gone too far! For disobedience to God’s Word is sin, and the wages of sin is death.

    It is not about the physical death of this man. Until Jesus returns to this world, most of us will pass away in the physical body. It is about his soul. Did that man leave this world with an awakened soul, reconciled to a God of Spirit, Love Holiness and Truth?

    I am leaving the answer for those of you who still exist, and has not yet decided to accept Life–the state of Love–by your faith in the blood of Jesus Christ.

    It is tragic to pass away from this world without the assurance of salvation–you must be born again!

      “As if it is not bad enough for homosexuals, that they have chosen to conduct sexual relationship with men like themselves – they must also make a public spectacle of the shame that they conduct or practice wherever they roam.”

      What a powerful rebuke, Liz !! I do not know what attracts a man to have anal sex with another man but some men are born with imbalance in their sex hormones, thus making then effeminate (macoumer). That’s not a habit they learn. They actually walk, talk and act like women. Whether they can control their sexual urge and choice of sexual partners is a matter for them and their God. But I enjoy reading that piece, Liz.

      • August 9, 2011

        Thank you South Man. As I have mentioned before, let us continue in our relationship of Spirit and Truth–that is Life in us.

        Yes, I do understand your idea of persons who are homosexual. I just believe that the situation can be healed in them, if they desire healing from God. Here is an example from the Holy Bible, if you do not know it yet:

        A man who walked during the days Jesus lived on earth was born blind. Jesus disciples asked Him who sinned, that this man was born blind–his parents or the man himself?

        Jesus told His disciples that no one had sinned, but that man was brought into this world in physical blindness, that God’s glory might be seen through him.

        Jesus healed the blindness of that man. And as he was brought before the courts of those who did not accept Jesus, His word, and His works, the man himself could not explain his healing; but only to tell the people who questioned him: “All I know is that I was blind but now I see”.

        There are many bad things that happen to people, the only way God can show them His love for them, through His deliverance of mercy and compassion.

        The problem with homosexuals, and the rest of us with all sorts of sinful habits, is that we embrace our shamefulness–claiming that we have human rights, as I mentioned already.

        In so doing we continue in darkness, shame and fruitlessness, never demonstrating Life–the stature of Love, which is of God. That is just too bad.

      Reply to Lizavier4juesus

      It is very sad and disturbing when people like you use your religious beliefs to judge and condem someone after a tragic death like this. I wonder if people like you have any heart at all. Why is it this man you know nothing about is judged and comdemed solely because of his sexual orientation, is a person sexual orientation the total make up of a human being, don’t you think that this person had other qualities as a human being you know nothing about.

      When you make the statement that quote “So it is clear that homosexuality is a earned habit practised by men of a carnal mind” this just shows how ignorant you are,only using your religious beliefs to make something true or factual.Have you not examined your religious beliefs and asked yourself how you got them, well you were taught these beliefs,you were not born with them. You have the right to believe what you want but you must also know and understand that beliefs are not truths. When you mention the term “carnal mind” don’t you not see that religion can also cause people to have a carnal mind,as demonstrated by you on this forum showing your intolerance and hatred to others simply because they do not ascribe to your religious beliefs. Have you not seen the amount of carnal minds created by religious beliefs in the world today.

      You must learn to respect other people, stop judging and condemning people simply because they do not live by the same religious beliefs as you, remember you cannot judge your self in end, God has to.

      “Outside of JA gays make up the majority!” So what good does that prove?

      Jesus said that “the door of the gate that enters the Kingdom of Heaven is a narrow door, only a few will enter”

      In other words the majority are taking the wider entrance–leading to the kingdom of destruction, torment, and torture–not the Kingdom of Heaven.

      Just in case you think that it is great thing, that “the majority of men are gay”.

        everyone dies but some die twice..a spiritual death…while some die once…a physical death..live for yourself and you die twice…eternal death..accept Jesus and you will receive eternal life.

        these gays are living for themselves, their lustful pleasures….the anus is supposed to be an EXIT ONLY PASSAGEWAY..
