Manny Pacquaio: Public Enemy #1

-

I can't believe what people are saying about Manny Pacquaio--multi-time champion of the boxing world. Recently he said some disparaging remarks about gays and when a petition got started for Nike to drop him as a sponsor--they did so with less than 4,000 signatures.  Another petition in support of Manny as of this writing shows over 14,000 signatures.

I will be the first one to say that if you have nothing good to say don't say it.  Yet, his critics are going bananas to paint him as public enemy #1 simply for stating his opinion.  They have branded him a bigot and a homophobe.  Yet, those that are criticizing him are spewing their own brand of hate and bigoted remarks.  

Manny has come along way to redeem himself.  It is amazing to me how he has a full schedule, boxes several times a year, is a senator in his home country of the Philippines, is a pastor and recently donated millions of dollars of his own money to build homes for the poor.


It was just his opinion.  Everyone is entitled to their opinion.  This whole thing of being politically correct and mad campaigns to silence voices has got to stop.  Manny is not physically hurting people or condoning hate towards gays.  I'm sure he has a lot of gay friends and gay admirers.  He may even have gay relatives.  The minority are just loud and the majority need to speak louder against this politically correct world.  The bible says that in the last days people will get easily offended and be lovers of themselves.  We are living in these times and the outcry of people attacking Manny for his comments shows that the end of the world as we know it is very near.  It shows, as the bible stated that Jesus Christ is coming very soon.

God is separating the sheep from the goats.  Christians and people of faith need to speak up to.  They need to stand up and defend people who stand for righteousness.   Should Christians boycott brands that will vilify them just for speaking out?  What do you guys think?  Should Manny be turned into an enemy of the people, or is he still a hero?  Please comment and share.  Thanks.

Radical Islam Unites Christians Attacks against Christians by radical Islamists across the globe is having unintended consequences. Christians of different denominations are uniting to raise awareness about the violent nature and deception of Islam. Held in Downers Grove, IL the conference The Persecuted Church: Christian Believers in Peril in the Mid dle East is one of many assemblies happening throughout the United States. On March 12, 2011 speakers from many Christian sects gathered in front of over 300 attendees to speak about their experiences and to discuss strategies to stop the Islamic onslaught. Speakers noted that in Islamic countries such as Egypt, the indigenous are killed because of their Christian faith in plain view and collaboration of the government. Attackers of St. George Church in Egypt fired away at Christians from behind army tanks. In Iraq, Julianna Taimoorazz stated that “No mercy is shown to children. Infants [are] broiled and presented to their mothers on a ...

Jesus Christ and Che Guevara

Public Domain, Che Guevara There is no denying that many special interest groups are spreading false perceptions of Christianity. One that is very notable is done by the socialists/communists. One of the biggest idols of socialism is Che Guevara. He is idolized by many people frustrated with how capitalism exploits the poor. If you ever go to a protest you will see Che's mug on t-shirts or banners. One would think it was as if we were viewing a photograph of Jesus Christ. But it is not. And that is what the socialists want the public to believe in an attempt to win converts for their revolutionary cause. They often say, Jesus Christ was a revolutionary, just like Che! This of course is totally false. Jesus Christ and Che Guevara are complete opposites. Jesus did cause a revolution, but it was a spiritual revolution. Jesus Christ's mission was never meant to be political. Che, who was a doctor, was so incense about fighting for the rights of the poor that he felt ki...

Muslims and Christians DO NOT Believe in the Same God!

"Trinity"  Coecke Van Aelst, 1502.  Public Domain Muslims and Christians do not worship the same god.  In many interfaith circles that is the common denominator, supporters in this belief always say, “We believe in the same god.”  But the truth is that the God we worship as Christians, is not the same god Muslims or any other group worships. The Christian God Is All-Loving He commanded us through His Son Jesus Christ to love and pray for our enemies. He also said to love our neighbors just as ourselves. This is a radical departure from most faiths that believe the opposite. Other faiths teach that we have a duty for self-defense and even kill other people who are trying to hurt us.  Jesus said, “If someone slaps you, turn the other cheek.  If someone wants your coat, give it to him.”  This is a very hard thing for humans to do.  It is so much easier to hate, fight back, swallow our pride than to love and forgive. The Christian...
