Jesus paid for the sins for those who believe in him and accept him as the Son of God and who repent and beg for forgiveness not those that don’t believe in him and keep committing the same sin after same sin without a care in the world about their salvation.
I’m a true believer and would lay my life down for God and Christ if it came to be, I will not accept your false teaching or those who are unrepentant for they will be cast out to eternal death.
Amen brother, Reverend Asante is a good and wise man, we should be so lucky to have people like him here in the U.S.LGBT+ not human rights issue; we’ll not accept it – Asante

General News
Rev Prof Emmanuel Asante - Former chairman NPC
Most Rev. Prof. Emmanuel Asante has said LGBT+ is not a human rights issue and, therefore, no country can force Ghanaians to accept the act and legalise it.
This comes after the European Union in Ghana declared its full support to the community and participated in the opening of the new space for them in Ghana.
The EU noted that equality, tolerance and respect for each other are its core values and, therefore, supports civil society organisations promoting LGBT+ rights in the country.
But speaking on the Class Morning Show (CMS) on Wednesday, 24 February 2021, Rev Prof Asante, who is the former Chairman of the National Peace Council, noted that LGBT+ has nothing to do with human rights but a confused orientation of certain individuals that can be worked on by psychologists.
He told show host Kofi Oppong Asamoah that: “LGBT is not a human rights issue, let me make it clear that it will be wrong for anybody to tell us that this is their human right because as I’m saying for us, the ontological priority of the community over the individual is very important and, therefore, we should not go by the liberal conception of human right and ignore our moderate communalism that dictates our rights here in Ghana".
“The community has spoken and I think that the authorities of our land will understand. Going abroad with a cup in hand going for aid and for them to use that as a bait to force us to accept things that are contrary to our values is unacceptable and I think it is proper for us to learn to live on our own such as cutting our coat according to our size and not allow people to use their so-called aid to force us to do things that some of their own people are fighting against.”
Rev Asante wondered why the West is attempting to force homosexualism on Africans when it is against the African culture and values.
He stated that Ghanaians will neither accept nor legalise the act.
In his words: “90 per cent of Ghanaians are religious and we can say we will not accept such practices and it doesn’t mean we are being hypocritical. As I said, homosexuality and lesbianism, from my perspective, are as sinful as any other sin but then we don’t openly begin to defend such practices in the name of human rights.
“If I get up to say that look: 'I’m a kleptomaniac, therefore, if I see you holding something because I’m a kleptomaniac, I feel like stealing it, it is my situation, so it is my right to do those kinds of things, do we simply allow that? Yes, people may have certain orientation but we can work on people’s orientation. The psychologists have what it takes to address some of these issues and, therefore, it will be wrong and I was really offended when I read that the EU representative was talking about respecting the human rights of others. How about my rights? And I believe your freedom will end where my nose begins.
“They are the people telling us about democracy and we have the majority, 99 per cent of Ghanaians saying this is something we will not accept because it is against our cultural values, so, why do we push it?”

-----THE CONTINUED UNREPETENDENT ACTS, the LIFE STYLE OF THE LGBT+ people are disgusting that should always condemned---like any other spiritually EVIL and demoralizing and killing vice... like adultery, drunkenness and habitual lying etc............
-----IT'S NOT THAT THE PEOPLE THEMSELVES BE CONDEMNED and JUDGED---that PERSONAL JUDGMENT is UP TO GOD ONLY!--------
---------this cannot be allowed to be forced upon individuals-----not happen' with me
No matter what a person has done, if they repent of it and turn away form sinful things in their lives and instead turn to Jesus and seek forgiveness then God will hear and they will be saved. As reformed sinners people are accepted by Jesus, he came for all sinners and even Hitler's sin would have been forgiven if he had turned to Christ just like another man who murdered Christians was accepted - his name was Saul who became Paul.
And has sent the SON to bless us , by TURNING US FROM INQUITY .
Yes they will it’s why Pope Benedict stepped down and they put in the liberal Pope Francis, money is what counts to them and they’re losing a lot of it by not accepting homosexuals and LGTB in their Church.
And it does come from GOD when HE also uses the church to CORRECT SIN .
Though pope benedict may have been far less liberal than the most dangerous pope to sit the throne in our lifetime , francis ,
I agree with you and it’s what I’ve been saying those that repent and abstain, not the ones who continue to sin and don’t repent and don’t abstain, as for Hitler I can bet my life he’s not saved, some sins are to grave to even forgive in the eyes of God but only God would know.
That is the only area they lagged behind in as well as abortion . But now they are fast moving to catch up with the world
That is what it says...
I don’t have a link it’s my personal feelings on why Pope Benedict stepped down and they put this liberal Pope in.
