It has been a while before I finally decided to vote for Pacquiao. At first, I was really thinking if we needed him when he can’t even attend the seat in the congress. He is not a legislator nor a public servant on the basis of his profession. He is far from what a political leader should be.
However, after his remarks against LGBT that drew bashing and a campaign against him specifically led by LGBT personalities like Vice Ganda and other celebs who are pro LGBT, I have seen the clear red line between standing in the world and standing within the “sound” Christian doctrine and dignity that upholds morality in its highest sense, I decided finally to vote for Manny Pacquiao.
First, I have seen someone who is not a politician, and is far from a foolitician. He is not there to please the ears of his potential voters but to tell them and guide them to what is right. It’s not money or vote, it’s about pleasing God. We rarely see these among the candidates, and Manny is one of those rare candidates.
Manny’s remark is his opinion about the homosexual lifestyle. Everybody has to respect that. Even Vice Ganda. It’s not bigotry as most LGBT claims.
LGBT call those who do not believe in them as bigot. This is how “LGBT” addresses the people which is definitely “discrimination”, disrespectful in the opinion of others, and how they try to “unbalance” the law of the land by making proposals that will “ONLY” benefit them.
We need a Manny who stands by the truth and uprightness no matter how LGBT call him, bash him, and persecute him. We as Christians however need to learn how to stand by him.
Proverbs 16:12
It is an abomination for kings to commit wicked acts, For a throne is established on righteousness.
Proverbs 29:2
When the righteous increase, the people rejoice, But when a wicked man rules, people groan.
Secondly, who among the senatoriables fear God more than Manny? I always believe that if you want to have a better nation, we need to have godly leaders, leaders who fear God above all. Leaders who follow God’s will. How many more fooliticians should we vote?
We do not need another foolitician in place. We need to have politicians who are not a lover of money, not morally degraded, and a man who fears God.
Proverbs 11:14
Where there is no guidance the people fall, But in abundance of counselors there is victory.
It’s time to stand as Christians, Christians who stands by the truth and for the truth. Many will persecute those stand by the truth. But if God is with us, who can be against us? (Romans 8:31)
DICLAIMER: I am not discriminating LGBT, but I don’t believe in what they are fighting for. Practicing homosexual lifestyle is a lifestyle that is against to what the Bible says.
Sino ba ang dapat mong paniwalaan? Si Vice Ganda na kelangan mang-insulto para makapag patawa? O si Manny na nakakainsulto dahil sa pagsasabi ng kanyang paninindagan at pananampalataya?
TO VICE GANDA, hope you will read this.
Stop teaching our children how to insult people just to make others laugh. Stop educating our children and teaching them homosexuality is ok. We are Filipino, and homosexual lifestyle is very “unFilipino”. We do not want our children to be homosexuals, we want to them to be God fearing and morally upright.
Nobody is discriminating you on whatever you choose in life. Nobody is stopping you to do whatever you like as long as it is within the bounds of our laws, but HANDS OFF to what what we believe, HANDS OFF to our faith. HANDS OFF in teaching our children.
We do not believe in Homosexual lifestyle. We love all people, including you and LGBT as a community. But DON’T MAKE us SWALLOW your lifestyle, we can’t take it. We uphold Christian values and we will always teach that it is NOT what God wants for a Man and for a Woman.
Being spiritual and being politician are two different things.
Not because Manny had a popular and controversial stand means automatically that he is entitled to be a senator. Manny’s popularity is no different with the popularity of the known actors and actresses, basketball geniuses and other type of celebrity. Lito Lapid / Leon Guererro won the senatorial bids simply because he came from poverty with limited education. With this resume, masses sit him in the senate. But during the test of being a statesman in the impeachment proceedings, his lack of knowledge in this field was revealed. And to elect a senator, the educational background is really important. They should be able to stand in times of law disputes because this is the main duty of statesman and not to build hispitals. Imagine if all the seats in the senate will be won by no-law background. It will not be well for the entire land.
The writer said…”He is not there to please the ears of his potential voters but to tell them and guide them to what is right. It’s not money or vote, it’s about pleasing God. We rarely see these among the candidates, and Manny is one of those rare candidates.”
Do you really believe what you are saying…seriously?
Manny is clearly after the vote of the people, that is why he filed a candidacy as a Senator of this Country in the first place ! Manny is also after the money, because without his money, how can he even be considered as a serious candidate on a National election?
If He is all about pleasing God, why would not he just proclaim the good news and help his fellow human being in this planet all the days of his life ?
He plays billiard for money, He has a lot of businesses that generates him money ?? He engaged in million pesos cockfighting..clearly not for pleasing God…but for money
My opinion on the Manny’s LGBT issue is this, the moment He judged these human beings and elevate himself from these creatures, is the moment i lost my respect to the Champ.
Your reasoning is flawed and is engulfed by perfectionism. Not to mention, you are quoting Manny for his “old” lifestyle that he changed already. Can’t you see that there has been a life turn around change? Yes, he do cockfights and other gamblings, he is even a womanizer… but that was before, before he became a Christian. And even if he became a Christian, he is NOT BOUND to your “perfectionist” and legalistic stance. It is flawed.
And please note, if you have watched the entire video, Manny did say, “I am not condemning any homosexuals, but it is the acts of sin.” The acts of sin is what he is pointing out. And that’s what the Bible has been pointing out. However, you are pointing it to yourself. It’s not Manny who judged you, but you are the ones who judged yourself by pointing it to Manny.
Sorry, but I did watched the entire video and I am fully convinced that he never pointed that comparison to people, but to the wicked acts of the people which the Bible says.
Firstly, I do not think it ls flawed but simply factual. It was a firmly-established fact that “the Champ” was living a life far from the current image that he has at this point in time.
But if indeed he’s a change man, as you are sayin’ and of course it is refutable, since you don’t really know what is going on behind manny’s close doors (unless you are boboy). Being a change man does not absolutely make us thinking people to conclude that He is running for office not because of money or power or vote but because of the glorification of God. (from your blog)
Image building had been a very powerful tool among aspiring politicians ever since. They may paint beautiful, heavenly masks all they want and or pay media men to spread false pretenses and or use the power of the internet to create saintly images, but in the end the truth will always be the truth. It cannot be substituted by mere assumptions.
Secondly, I honestly wish Manny should not have given any comments against LGBT. The issue is a very contentious if not controversial that if someone would be so foolish and self-righteous to comment in this matter is doomed.
We are already living in an increasingly pluralistic society. The world has transformed in to a very diverse and dynamic society full of minds interconnected in ways never before. The church can no longer claim morality and or norms within the grip of their domain. It is therefore, unwise to close once eyes and ignore the changes that has been exponentially transforming societies and values and norms.
I say Christian values are inherently good, but to speak like Manny, in a way that monopolizes morality and in a way inhibit other forces and other people to determine their pursuit of happiness and identity is simply wrong.
As far as I see it, it is flawed.. Again, you applied perfectionist and legalistic stance as if Manny cannot and will never commit a sin. It is not factual. You placed him in a box. Mali kaibigan. I am sure, you know that nobody is perfect, and each one is entitled of the so-called “grace”. I am sure you know that, simply because you are fighting for it as well.
About being a “Change man” and “politics” and concerning his intentions in politics, well, it’s really up to you if you won’t believe him. After all, everybody has the freedom to choose whom to vote and believe. I believe him, and I like his moral standards. And I explained it pretty well in my article.
About giving comments on the issue, well, he was asked for a comment and his position on same sex marriage is he not? So if he was asked about it, is he not entitled to give his opinion for it? The only problem is that, the media pointed out that Manny said LGBT are like animals, where in fact, Manny did made it clear in the video, “it is the acts” that which he is pointing it.
I beg to disagree that the “church can no longer claim morality and of norms within the grip of its domains”. The Church will continue to proclaim righteousness and identify which is moral and which is not. I am not sure if you are reading the Bible, but believe it or not, what you are saying about the plurality of this world will indeed happen. And people will persecute the Christians as it was already spoken by Jesus himself. And so Christians are already expecting it. If you just have the chance to get a hold of the Bible or at least read it online, read Matthew 24. Please take note of verse 35.
Again, it’s up to you if you believe it or not. But such things as persecutions of the Christians is not a surprise. The Church was not started by Jesus to please men. It was established first to glorify the Father, then to bring salvation and the faith (including righteousness) to others.
For the word of God is alive and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart. Nothing in all creation is hidden from God’s sight. Everything is uncovered and laid bare before the eyes of him to whom we must give account.
Hebrews 4:12-13 Kaya masakit tanggapin ang katotohanan…
Pacquiao can be a Preacher. I do not believe he is qualified to be a Senator.
We cannot be the Christian that we call ourselves to be if we quickly judge others because we strongly believe against a certain thing. Think of it the other way and look at Saudi Arabia. If Pacquiao becomes Senator and forces people into his religious belief or dogma, it will be a disservice to the Filipino people and the Christian values that we are all pushing. Like Saudi Arabia, it will be called tyranny of the majority. Therefore, the savages from the South will seek assistance from countries like Saudi Arabia and rise up to fight the so called “infedels” violating Sharia Law! Nonetheless, I do not believe Pacquiao can handle any public office. He is a great guy in the boxing ring, I’ll give him that!
What is shame? Shame is something you should know but you don’t want it to know.. Same with those people who knows something which is acceptable but still insist not to do it. Instead doing those unacceptable things.. Vote for the truth.. Vote for Manny Pacman..
This is why I’m sorry to tell shame on those people who don’t accept the truth…
This is a good read for open-minded Christians about homosexuality in the Bible. I hope you would take time to actually read this. I also hope that this will help us reflect on our thoughts and actions about what the Bible really says, not just on homosexuality, but in general.
http://www.upworthy.com/there-are-6-scriptures-about-homosexuality-in-the-bible-heres-what-they-really-say?g=2
I have read the article and I can assure you that. I also watched the video (in fact I have seen this video several times before). Matthew Vines is a homosexual, of course, you can expect that he will show something that’s good to hear and read and watched by the LGBT community. And that’s understandable.
However, I do have problems with his interpretation of the passages he mentioned.
First, he tried to contrast the Law. Matthew 5:17 “Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them.” Jesus himself said that. Jesus came to fulfill the Law, so that by it’s fulfillment, we will become under grace. That’s the reason why people are not stoned to death when people commit adultery, homosexual acts, and even having sex with animals. It does not mean that the New Testament permits these things. On the contrary, the NT is teaching us “grace” can indeed be given to these sins if someone commits on it. Again, it is a sin, and a sin has to be asked for forgiveness.
Secondly, his interpretations was taken completely out of contexts in all the passages. He made his conclusion concerning his “contextual backgrounds” instead of the Bible.
Third, he said in the end of the video that the Bible never addresses the issues of sexual orientation or same sex marriage, and that there’s no reason why Christian people can’t support same sex marriage. Hmmm… that’s really good to hear if you are an LGBT or homosexual. But it’s not a good sign for “proper exegetical interpretation.”
I don’t think being an “open-minded” Christian is the issue here. The issue here is what the Bible says and what LGBT “wants” to hear. Sorry, I don’t think Matthew Vines will pass hermeneutics. He clearly made up his own interpretation thus twisting the Bible, and is abomination of the Holy Scriptures.
Please be careful on what you read. It is not about what “you want” to hear or read. It is about what “you should hear and read” especially when it comes to the Bible.
basta ako,wala pa akong nakitang nag m8 na hayop na same sex.
This trend is getting nowhere. The main issue here is the way he said it, his statements and the way he offended people through pointless comparisons. Does this help us to be a responsible voter? or a responsible citizen who cares for one another? as a nation who has single voice? NO
this in fact, sets us apart. It burns bridges to one another, it is encouraging fellow close minded people to push for biblical passages to HURT people. Think about this, why are they keep on saying “truth hurts” what is their main intention? to hurt people right??? to reiterate that it really hurts. This thing has totally nothing to do for being a deserving public servant for it just promotes violence, anger and war among people.
Look at us? we’re fighting for our own opinions, beliefs and understanding of God. Testing our faith, getting hurt even if its unintended.
Let me give this one last shot please!
1. The brands like Nike dropped him simply because he cannot represent the organization’s core values which is EQUALITY. This has nothing to do with a petition from someone or from some source so don’t blame the company for doing it so.
2. He was asked about his opinion in same sex marriage as a POLITICIAN – as a candidate for senator and NOT AS A CHRISTIAN. Therefore, he should be answering it as he is a FILIPINO regardless of race, gender and religion.
3. Stop pointing fingers to Vice ganda, boy and others. They are not the issue here. It’s all about his statement and nothing else.
4. We all have our own interpretations of the Bible. Stop testing our own FAITH by throwing out sins that we’ve committed in the past or we’re currently doing because nobody is perfect. What’s important is we have our own faith with God.
5. The Bible is created to spread love and the words of God. Do not use it to hurt people. If you’re using the Bible verses to highlight the sins of others then you;re using it wrong!
RESPECT. We are not enemies here. The purpose of those interviews for candidates is to make us a responsible voter. To help us decide if those running for specific positions are really deserving to be there.
I’ll vote 100,percent to Manny pacquio….why?? Kc tama ang kanyang sinabi ayon sa banal na aklat na kanyang binasa…
Ang masahol pa sa hayop na salita…sa mga taong gumagawa sex immoral na mga LGBT members isa na yan VICE GANDA stop nonsense words ABS CBN bad media yan binibigay ng HOST nyong BAKLA.

Mr or ms herman
I address this to you directly ..tinawag mong bobo ang mga taong nagsasabi ng katotohanan
Sa palagay mo ba Tama ka!! Kung kayo ni Vice Ganda ang magiging tama kawawa ang Pilipinas dapat umalis kana sa bansang eto pumunta ka sa bansang sinasabi mong Libre ang mga kagaya nyong mababaw ang pagiisip daig nyo pa ang mga ipis sa liit ng mga utak nyong Berde ang kulay..masakit ang tamaan ng salita kung ginagawa nyo ang sinabi…you react kasi ginagawa nyo ang kababuyan na yon.

moral conscience??? paano na si Chavit Singson and Wacky Salud??? magpakatotoo ka naman.
kung discrimanation or equality ang hanap. or yung sinasabi nila na hindi pinapaboran ng batas na mapunta yung ariarian ng isang namatay na LGBT sa partner nya ang gusto nila. e hindi naman same sex marriage ang sagot dyan. pwede mag gawa si MANNY ng batas ukol dyan subalit hindi nakapaloob sa batas ang same sex marriage.
hindi ako pro or anti LGBT pero para sakin tama si manny. count my vote as 1 for you MANNY!
I decided to vote Pacquaio not just only because he is an anti-LGBT but I wanted to vote him for he has faith in the Lord God. He may not be that smart as other politicians that made them more knowledgeable but I believe that Pacquaio can do more on the Congress/Senate. Aanhin nga ba ang katalinohan kung pera lang ang alam sa utak niyan? MONEY is the root of evil that’s why we have corruptions and poverty and hindi nareresolba.
OO, hindi pumapasok si Manny sa Congress pero hindi niyo lang alam na marami na siyang naibigay na bahay, natulungang tao atsaka napaayos. Nung siya at ang pamilya niya nga ang binabatikos, may salita ba kayong narinig kay Manny? WALA! The statement of the joker is not different from the Politicians, why?! It’s your statement not because your someone but it’s because who you are.
TO Vice, ang lakas mong mang trip ng tao, naisip mo ba na masasaktan sila? WOW ha. Pero nung ikaw na ang nasaktan, Ikaw naman tong nagdadrama. Inihayag lang ni Manny ang opinion niya, san na yung FREEDOM of speech natin ngayon? Aba? Nag pop out na rin ba?
HATERS. Haters always gonna hate. Wala na kayong magawa sa buhay no? Iwan ko sa inyo, you just need to see the bright side kasi kahit anong panlalait ninyo, wala nang mababago sa paniniwala ni Manny. Atsaka nag sorry naman siya. Nakakaintindi naman kayo ng tagalog atsaka bisaya diba?
God only created man and man and there are no other genders. God may forgives Michael Hernan of all bad his statements he replied to the people regarding the issue of LGBT.
I have nothing against Males, Females, Gays, and Lesbians. I have many friends from different gender and they are all good people.
What I am against are acts like:
Cheating, Murder, Robbery, Prostitution, Adultery,
Same sex foreplay/intercourse, Greed, Lust, etc.
These can be done by anyone.
What we condem are not the people regardless of their gender, but their actions.
My foundation of faith is the word of God that’s written in the bible.Men or women may not judge anybody,instead let those unbeliever read the bible.
Wla akong nakikitang mali sa sinabi ni pacquiao actually s pananaw ko, sinabi nya un because of love to other people he is concern for the eternal life of those people. Di ba kapag mahal mo ang isang tao itatama mo khit mkpag salita k ng hndi mgnda ay gagawin mo para mtitama sya, ksi concern k ksi mhal mo. At sabi din Lord s bible na pag sabihan mo ang mga kpatid mo sa mga maling gwain nila, ksi nga concern si Lord sa eternal life natin. Kelan pa nila gagawin ung tama kpag huli na ang lahat kpag dumating yung judgement day, kpah nalayo na sila sa Diyos eternally.
ang issue is not about faith, it’s about the words he used which clearly states “bigotry”. Puwede naman sabihin na lang ni manny na he is not in favor of same sex marriage, pero bakit kailangan pang sabihin na “mas masahol pa sa hayop”.
Marriage can only be done between a man and a woman. That’s what the bible says. LGBTs need respect as long as they are not doing bad at you. Marami namang matino at may magandang kalooban dyan. Let them go into marriage and let them also be answerable to the Almighty Father YHWH. Yun lang yun. Kahit tayo nga na mga straight e andami nating kasalanan. Let them do what they want to do. Tama naman si MP sa comment nya na ibig sabihin ay mali ang magpakasal ang same sex. Sino ba naman ang magsabi na tama?..Pero in terms of right?…they have the right if they think it’s right…. as long as di nila tinatapakan ang ating mga paa. We can do whatever we want but we must be answerable for our actions. Di man ngayon, sa tamang panahon.
agree, ….pero sa same sex marriage lng sa church agree n hindi pwede, kc klapastnganan n un sa Diyos…kung same sex marriage s huwes pwede, kc legal rights ang pinaguusapan dun…
so you decided to vote for pacquiao because he is anti-gay? you decided to vote for him despite his dismal record as a public servant whose salary is paid by our taxes? that’s is your right. but please for all you people who vote this way, don’t ever complain about why our government sucks. you help make that possible.
I agree with your comment. MP being an anti gay doesn’t make him a better public servant.
He is not anti gay. He is anti immoral acts.
Eric, you have completely misunderstood Pastor Vince. He is voting for MP because he is a man of God. He is a man who knows his stand in the Christian world. MP clearly loves God and fears God. If only all of our government leaders have the heart of a real christian surely our place is HEAVEN on earth. God speed.
kong taxes ang inalala m na jan galing ang sasahurin ni Manny? ok lng yan kc sya naman ang may mas pnakamalaking tax na bnayaran eh. ahehehehe
Why did God destroy Sodom and Gomorrah?
“Moses spoke as clearly here as he did in Genesis. The cities of Sodom and Gomorrah were guilty of many things, but foremost among them was the sin of homosexuality. In this section of Leviticus, God gives directives not just for ritual purity, but commands to be observed by every Jew, and even by every visitor.”
To all homosexual we do have freedom yes but choose to be wise not fool. the truth is think of this when u kiss each other do u think its pleasing with God watching u? Ask urself then u will know the answer. you will judge of what u are doing the by product of homosexuality. And to those people telling that even species practice homisexaulity fine bec they dont have knowledge they dont know what right and wrong but we people we always reminded of Gods will and know the right and wrong and yet we still do sinful actions kya totoong mas masahol pa tayo sa hayop.
I think what Manny was trying say, LGBT as “mas masahol pa sa hayop” are those people involving/engaging in same sex marriage. Biblically and morality speaking Manny is right.
But, LGBT alone (those who do not practiced same sex mrriage or engaging in sex same sex) had equal rights and salvation.
Yes your right and hindi nman sila ang kinocondemned n Manny kundi ung wrong marriage.
I am not a politician neither a celebrity. I am a Bible Based Christian. We need to stand on what we believe what is the teaching of God’s Word.
oh my god. mas gusto mong magkaroon ng isang mangmang na religous senator? ganun na lang ba? religious sya kaya ok sya? tulad ng sinabi mo. wala syang nagawa sa congress at ganun din ang mangyayari sa senado. ok lang na wala syang kwentang senador basta religious sya. God help our country kung ganun na lang basehan ng boto.
Firsr of all hindi sya mangmang at wala kang karapatang sabihing mangmang sya. Sure kba na wala syang nagawa sa congress? May priweba kba? Sure kba na wala syang magagawa sa senado? Wala kang karapatang pangunahan ang mga mangyayari dahil wala kang kakayahang makita ang mga mangyayari sa future. Wala ka ring karapatang sabihing wala syang kwentang senador. Hinay hinay lang sa pagsasalita.
just listen to him and you’ll know, how stupid, moron and idiot he is. hindi na kailangan ng proof. kahit hindi nya pa sinabi yon sa LGBT community he is not worth voting for. bakit nga ba sha binoto ng tao sa gensan? because of the fame and his money. pero subukan mong alisin sa equation ang dalawang yon. i doubt kung mananalo sha kahit barangay captain. mag-isip ka. kasi kung ipagtatanggol mo pa din sha, magkalevel lang kayo! IGNORANTS!!!
Sorry, Mr. Gay Guy, but money when it comes to delivery of service has stood out from most of other politicians. In fact he was able to provide basic social services such as fore trucks, 1000 housing units for the poor among others using his own money. He never flaunted it. Unlike politicians who grand stand in almost every session, but has poor performance when it comes to their respective districts. May programa sila at lalagyan pa ng pangalan nila yun naman pala pera ng taumbayan.
*Manny
Are you saying God is ignorant? You must remember that we are created I the image of God. You know what? What you have done to the least of God’s people you have done to Him.

Hindi iboboto si Manny dahil anti-gay siya. But for one, alam niyang manindigan kung ang tama. Given the right help from experts he can serve very well. I believe as a congressman, he has done a lot in his district. I think he did not frustrate his constituents. Besides, Manny has done a lot for our country. His boxing carreer brought a lot of good things for us filipinos. I am proud of that. We consider him as a Hero in his ways. I think given an opportunity to serve our country Manny would do everything to make a better life for the filipinos.
BATO BATO SA LANGIT, ANG TAMAAN AY HUWAG MAGAGALIT!
What manny says is true.You cant argue the word of God.People sometimes dont absorb and think what does this person says.Its also the media who makes it more complicated because why only highlight the part where Manny says that “They are more than animals”?They should put caption there “Manny stands on same sex marriage” instead of the rude ones..If you just listen,dont be mad and think clearly of what Manny says,there is no wrong with it.Its his opinion and it is what written in the Holy Scripture. I think what Manny would like to emphasize is that he is pro with the gays and lesbian because he respects them but there are some gays and lesbian who acts and make themselves unrespectful.
God created man and woman, everyone is a sinner if they didn’t obey Gods commandments, the Apostles of Lord Jesus Christ wrote anyone who doesn’t follow Gods Commandments is not His children but of the devil, the Blood of Christ cleanse us for all unrighteousness Manny Pacquiao obey the commandments of God and follow the gospel of Lord Jesus Christ he might not good for the eyes of other people but in the eyes of God he is wonderful. ..
Truth hurts, but truth must prevail… I have nothing against anyone but I am also for Manny! He has the right to say anything he wants. We are not born to please men. If he is persecuted right now, he knows it and he will stand by his decision.
Yes the truths hurts! For when the truth is revealed there are many excuses to whitewash the wrong doings! It is to please God rather than men!
para sa kaalaman lang po kasi halos lahat magaling sa biblia, eh nabasa nyo naba na nag utos ang Dyos sa anghel na pumatay ng 70,000 innocent people including women and children punishment po yan kay king David kasi nag commit sya ng sin,,,genocide po ito,,,so sa mga magaling sa biblia paki explain nga po ito ng maayos,,,thank you po
Obviously, you are pertaining to the old testament. Let us not forget that aside from being a God of love , God is also a God of wrath and this can be evident in the Old testament. But when He decided to sacrifice His Son, Jesus Christ, all sins were forgiven. Thus, we are all saved because of what Christ did. But God also said there will be a judgement day. That’s why if you read the Bible, we are told not only to be kind to one another but to follow the path of Jesus Christ our Savior. If we have committed sin, then we are given a chance each day to repent for our sins. Once we have repented and decide that we do not want to go back to our ungodly ways then we are doing what we are told to do.
Ok, highlight the BAD parts, GOOD ON YA, so what about how he created the UNIVERSE? wait thats too big for you to phantom, what about how he created you? focus on that. you highlight on the negative but not the positive? “Your thoughts are not MY thoughts, neither are your ways HIGHER than mine.” look that verse up so you can find a remedy to your pessimistic views.
For more than 400 years, God withheld judgment to the Canaanite kingdoms (present Middle East) who were practicing abhorrence in the land… When the time was ripe, God used the Old Testament Israelites to wipe these godless people…. God waited for them to change their ways. God is not mocked, in due time He will punish those deserving punishments, and rewards for those who love and obey Him…
I am not against LGBT … pero para sa akin tama ang sinabi ni Manny Paquioa pero ang mali lang po ay he compare human to animal but he did admit his mistake and he apologize…. ganon po talaga the truth really hurts…at don po nagsasabi na wag iboto c Manny kung para sa akin mas gusto ko na wag manalo c Manny at manatiling simpleng tao … Ramdam ko ayaw din ni Manny sa politika pero nappilitan lang sya pumasok dahil sa mga taong nkapaligid sa kanya na pilit sya dindala sa karumihan ng politika … Mabuting tao po c Manny i can see on his eyes his sincerity when he speak … ‘yong mga nagsasabi po na hind dapat umupo c Manny sa Senado dahil ang politika para sa mga taong may utak mga taong nakkapagtapos ng pag-aaral oo totoo po hindi tlaga nababgay c Manny dyan dahil hind sya nkpag-aral kya hindi nya alam kung paano magnakaw sa gobyerno at wala siyang utak kya hindi nya alam ang manlenlang ng kapwa …kaya sana wag sya manalo sa eleksyon para ang kamao nya na nagbibigay ng dangal sa ating bansa ay hindi madudungisan ng dumi na galing sa maruming buhay ng politika … Sabi nila akal mo kung sino syang malinis eh isa rin siyang nakiapid oo pero itinuwid na po nya ‘yon and he accepts his past mistakes at nagbago sya at walang perpektong tao sa mundo …at para sa yo Manny Paquiao ngayon mo mappatunayan at malalaman kung sino talaga ang mga taong totoong nagmamahal sa yo at mga taong minahal ka lang dahil sa kasikatan at pera mo … Ayoko kitang manalo sa eleksyon you don’t belong to the dirty world of politics dahil mabuti kang tao …at sa lahat ng nabbasa ko at nappanood ko ngayon na mga reaksyon nila napagtanto ko na minahal at nirespeto ka lang ng mga taong ito dahil sa karangalan na binigay mo sa ating bansa at hindi dahil sa kabutihan ng pagkatao mo that is what we called hypocrite people that in times like this in just one click they will leave and forget you… Totoo po ‘yon nong mga panahon silang mag-ina ang ginawang pulutan ng katatawan sa halos lahat ng sulok ng bansa natin at sa halos lahat ng tao at higit sa lahat ng mga gays ( forgive me on mentioning you guys) sa lahat ng comedy bars even in some TV programs pero wala po kayong narinig na masasakit na salita mula sa pamilya ni Manny at ang gawin mong katatawanan ang kahinaan ng isang tao ay malinaw na isang pangungutya pero sa isang salita lang ni Manny na katotohanan na kinuha nya sa Bible lahat ng natamaan ay nagsusumiklab ang puso sa galit dahil totoo and to cover the pain of truth that this people feel nagsasalita din sila ng kahit na anong masaskit laban kay Manny para lang maibsan ang nararmdaman nilang sakit na likha ng katotohanan…..God Bless po sa ating lahat…
I stand for your explanations…very well said can i share this?
For me the law of God is the most important, even the most high politician should submit to God. to become a good leader we all should practice the teachings of God because i believe that the man that trust God are the man that can be trusted. MP might have been so open about his opinion yet he is telling what is right. But this LGBT they are so open to what they believe in too so what’s the difference? I just wanna say one thing I believe that MP fear the Lord and he condemn sexual immorality even in the bible sodom and gommorah were punished because they practice sexual immoralities. Do you want this to happen in our country too?
Religion: Pope Francis, who am I to judge?
Pacquiao, masahol pa sila sa hayop.
There’s the stark contrast where religion doesn’t support Pacquiao’s blatant and tactless judgment.
Who you are also to say that manny judge them? He just get it from the bible,, read leviticus 22:18,,,
I think we all owe a RESPECT !
I a LGBT member , is proud of my hummanity . & i thought that there’s what we called AVOID of JUDGING & BEING JUDGEMENTAL . where is FREEDOME ? all we want is that , right ? & yet , we aren’t animals ! We are still HUMAN that GOD above did create . Dont UNDERESTIMATE us just because of our gender . We still have FEELINGS ! If being respectful & just a lover if a sin & being an animal , Boy Abunda & Vice Ganda is right ! ID RATHER BE AN ANIMAL . If theres no critizism & judgement for it . Just being free & being a Living ! Thank you God Bless .
Manny is not discrimaneting, he is telling the truth which is the word of God.
MANNY Pacquiao , is God fearing the reason why he was so outspoken about this issue. He is strong in his religious faith. We need strong leadership like he has.
i think all the religion leaders right now are chosen not only because of the strong faith alone but because of their tenure, knowledge and wisdom about their religion. If you think manny is a rightful senator just because of his faith alone then prepare for the worse for our country, I honestly believe you are as ignorant as him. grow up!!!
Malinaw pa sa sikat ng araw na pagpapaliwanag.
How can you rebuke with sweet and eloquent words. Kailangan may halong gulat.
Instead of being righteous, the LGBT are after (more of) their rights to impose and uphold their homosexual lifestyle. It is them who made judgement unto themselves by continuing to live and do sexual immorality. On top of that, they cannot be rebuke or constructive criticize since they take it as an offense, even the slightest reproach towards them, because of the basic homosexual rights given them. Kung kalooban ng Panginoon ang iluklok si Manny maski wala ang boto ng LGBT. Sa impyerno meron nang ipinatayong trono para kay ViceGanda, pasensiya na lang siya.
Thank you and GOD bless you more Pastor Vince, Peace of Jesus.
We people always think na wala.nmn tayong nasasaktan na tao kya ok lng maging homosexual pero hindi natin naisip na may God tayong nasasaktan habang ginagawa natin ang gawain ng mga homosexual. Greatest commandment love the Lord ur God with all ur heart mind and soul, so we should sacrifice the desire of our flesh bec Jesus already sacrifice for us. MP hnd sya nanghuhusga nagsasabi lang ng truth and the truth is Jesus . Jesus was.condemed betrayed in the hands of his creation and yet he didnt react so pls lets all.accept the truth eventhough it hurts.
Balik tanaw tayo… Sabi ni Gat Jose Rizal sa mga Pilipino na di marunong magsalita ng sariling wika – daig pa ang amoy sa malansang isda. Yikes. Ayun pala ang amoy ng mga bata ngayon na “English only” ang means ng communication kahit nasa Pilipinas. May nagpo protesta ba nito ngayon? Hindi ba parang ganito din ang comparison ni Manny sa mga homosexuals? Anong klaseng hayop kaya sila? Buti pa si Gat Jose, naging specific. Eh paano kung sinabi ni Manny na ang mga LGBT at parang mga hayup na ibon? Magaganda at matatayog ang lipad? May magrere-act negatively kaya? Hayop pa din yun. Nasan na ang kalayaang magpahayag ng opinion at saloobin sa bansa natin? Alam naman nating lahat na hindi pa tanggap ng lipunan natin ang same-sex marriage. At ang pagiging homosexual ay tinatanggap pa lang yan ng mga individuals na malapit sa taong gay (bading/les/bi), kagaya ng pamilya o kaibigan -pag celebrity ka eh di fans. Kung gusto ng mga LGBT ng respeto – respetohin din nila ang mga Pilipino. Hindi tanggap ng bansa ang same-sex marrage…wag silang magalit pag may nagsasalta tungkol sa kanila na sa tingin nila eh foul. Magpasalamat na lang sila at dito sa Pilipinas, may karapatan pa silang magladlad at mabuhay. Sa ibang bansa pinapatay sila in public. Just my cents.
maybe for you Bible is JUST a book, but always remember that it is JUST a book that will only JUST change your life.. the only wrong that manny said is that he compared the humans from animals. yes,he said it in a harsh way but, I also disagree to what terms he used, but the rest of his words i agree to all of it, he is right about what he said that only the animals can determine which is male and female.
on behalf of manny( CHAAAAR) hahahahahaha I will also say sorry to whom manny hurt by his word .. But if you will read the bible you would be hurt more.. ahahaha so be ready and prepare your heart if want to read it!!!! GOD BLESS US ! WOOOH!!! LET US SPREAD THE LOVE NOT HATE!!!! HATE WILL DO NOTHING IN OUR LIVES>> 🙂
( im a filipino but i am speaking in english hehehe please bear with me , please dont hate me, im just practicing my english for my tomorrows job interview. i apologize if i have a wrong grammar sentences there hahahaha EVERYONE LET’S LOVE [eureubeon uri saranghaja@!!!!!!])
An open rebuke is better than hidden love! (Proverbs 27:5) as of Mr. Manny’s past life, who are we as well to point out., I believed as he addressed and admitted before that he was a gambler, adulterer, etc., but as we see in his life nowadays he was changed and that because he wholeheartedly repented and accept Jesus as his Lord and Savior., nobody can change his/her own self than the intervention of God’s power. …”16 Therefore from now on we recognize no one according to the flesh; even though we have known Christ according to the flesh, yet now we know Him in this way no longer. 17 Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creature; the old things passed away; behold, new things have come. 18 Now all these things are from God, who reconciled us to Himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation,…(2 Corinthians 5:16-18).
Let us all desires to live a life that carry the truth that comes from the book of life,. we should not waste the freewill that’s God’s given to overturn the truth. To Mr. Manny may God gives you more boldness in telling whats the truth in His wisdom, guidance, anointing and protection. God Bless the Filipino people, God Bless the Philippines
How sure are you that what’s written in the bible is what really God said? Do you have a proof? Did the person who wrote the bible talked to God? If the events in the bible are true, how come all evidence that are supposed to support those events are all theoretical?
With or without that comment of Manny, he will not get my vote.
Pastor Vince, I am glad you made this statement regarding the issue against Manny who honestly made pronouncent against homosexuality. You are right we need to have people in the senate like Manny. I have availed the free Outreach Bible Study Leading Guide and wish to thank you for it. May the GOD of Abraham, Isaac and Israel continuen to shower HIS blessings and prosper you in the ministry. Only by the Grace of GOD, Genieking.
it seems manny is very outspoken when he delivered his message… of course it’s true that we should not tolerate our mistakes and continue living as sinners… but, manny should be compassionate and considerate when delivering a message… the very role of a true Christian is to lead the sinners to Christ not to condemn… it’s a reminder to any preacher to be very careful and considerate when delivering a message…
Interview pomkase un sana napanuod nyo na pomung video, hndi nya naman kinocondemn its barely just his opinion as a person wholeheartedly that needs to be respected. Sinagot nya lang naman ang tanong ng interviewer sakanya on what he thinks and he answered honestly not to please people but to please God.
Ruth, I agree with you about being careful and considerate when delivering the message of truth. When the eyes are still blind, they will refuse to see. But I also believe that Manny’s message came out of truth, love & boldness. I believe that he didn’t mean to condemn and he could have mellowed his words. But more than this, when the world around is bashing Manny’s person, isn’t it time for us to focus and find out for ourselves the truth of the passages & scriptures that he is imparting?
ang napansin ko dito sa mga comments ng kontra kay pacman ay parang naghahamon ng away, nagsasalita ng di masama. parang mga tsismosa lng na akala mo may kaaway na kapwa tsismosa. naiintindihan ko na dahil sa mga bakla na nga kau, gusto nyo ipakita na maggaling kayo, na di kayo nagkakamali. cge maniniwala ako sa inyo kung ipakita nyo kahit sa picture lng na nakikipaghalikan kau sa kapwa lalaki. imposibleng walang chupaan at kantutan sa pwet na mangyayari kapag nakipagrelasyon ka sa kapwa bakla. lalo na kung kau ay kasal. isang tanong tanong isang sagot, para sa inyo kaayaaya, mabuti, malinis ba ang pkikipag chupaan at kantutan sa pwet? wag nyo na kasing palabasin na tama ang isang mali. kung tama para sa inyo, wag nyong ipagpilitan na magiging tama din para samin. para sakin maling mali ung hanyang gawain.
i agree. di naman ang tao ang kinocondem kundi ang gawain nila.
Yes I agree…it’s the sin,not the sinner….who are we to judge…We are given the freedom of choice by God, it’s up to us to discern what’s right and what’s wrong…let the Holy Spirit guide us…and follow His will not ours for once…Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give peace a chance…courage with kindness…..I love you all.
VERY TRUE, yan ang tunay na katotohanan
Thank you for this. I will surely share this.
Thank you Ptr Vince for this..actually i am thinking of composing a statement about the issue and post it on FB so that my friends would see what i stand for..i have LGBT friends and a close cousin for that matterand i love all of them.
hoping that “christians” out there will also find this article and share..this is just perfect for this time and well said.
Thank you and God bless.
I applaud MP for his belief because it is what it is, the fact that he is not worried about the votes of these constituents just tell you that he is far from PC.
I like his moral strength…i am glad that at one time he was lost and was found..redemption what a beautiful thing.
God bless you Manny Pacquaio and your family.
I strongly admire Manny for his stand on LGBT but taking his role as politician he should be also a good steward. If his task/talent is not makings laws leave it to those who knows how to do it. He should be on the forefront, he is good on doing this, not on legislative. And also endorsing allegedly corrupt politician is this wise?
Hi Ms. Celine, it depends on how you see where he is needed. If you can’t vote him, then don’t that’s completely understandable. I don’t see him to be a good legislator or anything else in the senate. However, the senate is already filled with good intelligent minds when it comes to law. I am sure, with or without Manny, they will make good laws for the betterment of the country. But there’s one thing lacking in the senate as far as I see it, that’s “moral conscience”. That’s what most if not all senators lack. I am voting for Manny not because he is good as a legislator, I am voting for him so that there will be a voice of moral standards in the senate.
We have lots of laws that needs scrutiny of people with higher moral standards. For example, the law on family planning. I am not against family planning, but if you look closely to it, department of health went to colleges and universities to distribute free condoms to the students and tell them they can avoid teenage pregnancy. As a pastor, I don’t see it fit to distribute condoms on students, they should have been taught about morality. This is just an example that happened before.
Well, again this post is not to force anyone to vote for him. You can vote others if you want to. But as for me, I will support him, unless otherwise he will detract his position before the election. Because if he do, it just showed that he can’t stand on pressures. And I am sure, LGBT community will pressure him which is already happening.
