Brother

You have assured I will have nightmares tonight... that revolting image keeps pounding and pounding in my mind.

PRAY TO JESUS!

I'm sorry brother. Pray to Jesus, and he will surely take the pictures of man rape out of your mind.

Re: 10 Reasons why GOD HATES SOCCER!

I must first of all point out that soccer is a sport.. It's a game. I don't think it can be called EVIL because nothing is inherently evil. Something is only evil if we make it evil. I don't really care for soccer either but to call it satanic is a far stretch. And to say that all soccer players, fans, supporters etc, will all go to hell is quite silly. In the end, God is the judge, he will look at the heart of every man and judge him based on whether that man truly accepted Jesus in his heart, and repented his sins. I do not believe God will judge is based on the sport we play. Nowhere in the bible supports this point of view. And to claim that America is God's favorite country is absolutely ridiculous. In genisis it does not say " god created America in 6 days and rested on the seventh". It says God created the EARTH and the universe in 6 days and rested on the seventh. And as for homosexuality, I too believe that this practice is an abhhoration of God's perfect design, but we should be praying for these people, and showing compassion and love as Jesus did, not spewing out hate. We're not perfect either. We're sinners too. We need to worry about the plank in our own eye before worrying about the speck of dust in our brothers eye.

Re: 10 Reasons why GOD HATES SOCCER!

And I don't find american football any more Godly than soccer. Would you like to explain the provacatively dressed cheerleaders? Or how about the huge beer sponsers? Or how about the Super Bowl halftime shows who have non christian music bands and pop stars playing there?????

If someone has to, you're too young to understand.

Re: 10 Reasons why GOD HATES SOCCER!

What you just said has nothing to do with what I said about football. Lying, cheating etc. happens in ALL sports, not just soccer. It happens in hockey, which I'm a big fan of, it happens in basketball, baseball and football, cheating is EVERYWHERE

Soccer fan dead after pre-match fight

The opening day of the Swedish football season began in tragedy after police confirmed that a supporter of Djurgården succumbed to his injuries after being beaten up in Helsingborg, southern Sweden, before the game.





He suffered grave head injuries after a fight broke out between rival fans of Djurgården and Helsingborgs IF in the city centre before the match started. Despite attempts to save the man's life he died in the local hospital shortly after arrival.


"He was hit in the head - there was a lot of trouble before the match," police spokeswoman Ewa-Gun Westford told the AFP news agency.

Police have indicated that the fan was hit over the head with an object.

"We are in shock in the Djurgården family and totally stunned by this episode. We can only send our thoughts to this person's family," said Djurgården football club press chief Gunnar Gidefeldt.

Authorities who arrived on the scene where the man was assaulted described the atmosphere as "spiteful" and have launched an appeal for witnesses.

The game between the two teams kicked off as normal at 3pm but quickly descended into chaos. Fans from Djurgården chanted 'murderers, murderers, murderers' at the home fans and there were angry scenes after Helsingborgs IF scored to make the game 1-1 midway through the first-half.

Shortly afterwards fans of Djurgården stormed the pitch, many of whom wore balaclavas, and the referee abandoned the game before half-time.

The victim is understood to have been 44-years-old and was a resident of Stockholm.

"It is incredibly tragic for this guy's family, for football and for all of society really," Jesper Jansson, sporting director of Helsingborgs IF, told TT.

Police spokeswoman Ewa-Gun Westford said there had been clashes between the two sets of supporters on Saturday night. Five fans were brought to hospital after a fight broke out in a Helsingborg pub while three fans were arrested and 33 others were taken into custody temporarily.

Incidents of football violence have been on the rise in Sweden in recent years. Last year ten fans were held after a massive brawl in eastern Sweden.

Sunday's tragic incident isn't the first episode of fan misbehaviour at the Olympia Stadium in Helsingborg. In 2012 The Local reported how a player from Malmö FF had been the subject of a death threat effigy during a match between the two Skåne rivals.

Back in August 2002 a fan of IFK Gothenburg died when fans of Gothenburg clashed with AIK supporters.

Sweden's Justice Minister has called for tighter legislation to improve the security at football games and for a change in attitude and culture in the wake of the tragedy.

Meanwhile, sports minister Lena Adelsohn Liljeroth said it was a "dark day" for Swedish football.

"We've done a lot to make it safer inside stadiums ... but we know there are strong emotions around football -- fighting breaks out before and after
matches," she told AFP.

The minister added; "We still have a lot more to do ... It's a dark day for Swedish football."

At the time of writing police have not made any arrests in connection with the death. Both of the evening matches in the Allsvenskan went ahead as normal while the abandoned Helsingborgs IF - Djurgården will likely be rescheduled.

...cheating is EVERYWHERE

So that makes it right, somehow?

Re: 10 Reasons why GOD HATES SOCCER!

I don't really care for soccer either but to call it satanic is a far stretch. And to say that all soccer players, fans, supporters etc, will all go to hell is quite silly.

Independent surveys show that the vast majority of soccer fans and players reject God and Jesus. A survey of sexual behavior (from 2011) among soccer fans finds that 87,56% had homosexual experiences (so 12,44% are probably dishonest too). 34,52% admit that they live in openly "same-sex relationships". 99,35% do not believe that "Jesus Christ rose from the dead". Don't you think that God hates this "game" with a passion?

Re: 10 Reasons why GOD HATES SOCCER!

And how dare you call gay people trash. Yes , they are sinners. Yes, they need to repent. I agree with you there. And while god finds homosexuality detestable, he still made those people. He didn't make them gay, but he made those people in his own image. So you're just calling Gods' creation trash. And we're all sinners, no matter what. So instead of sitting here talking about how much God hates them, why don't we go and pray for them, minister to them, and love them like Jesus did? We are supposed to be the lords shining light in this dark world. Lets go into the world and Gods word of salvation

People are all just catching their breath, and I'm all .

In the meantime, ponder Proverbs 16:4.

Re: 10 Reasons why GOD HATES SOCCER!

You would have to be one of the rudest people I've ever met. You wander in here, without so much of an introduction and start moralising to we True Christians (tm)! Do you make a habit of going into people's living rooms, putting your feet up on their coffee tables and otherwise making yourself at home, without even introducing yourself? You are an arrogant man lacking even common courtesy.


If you wish to participate further in these forums, get your rude little self over to http://www.landoverbaptist.net/forumdisplay.php?f=16 , make a thread for yourself and tell us a little about yourself, which church you attend, your favourite verse from the Bible (KJV only) and how you found Jesus.

[Didymus Much]

Re: 10 Reasons why GOD HATES SOCCER!

Well that's really mature

That's it? That's your entire rebuttal?

How do you square the Scripture in Proverbs 16:4 "The Lord hath made all things for himself: Yea, even the wicked for the day of evil." with your claim that "...He didn't make them gay, but he made those people in his own image..."?

If you'd like, I'll do a point-by-point dissection of your previous post. Almost every line contains a major error according to the Bible.

Re: 10 Reasons why GOD HATES SOCCER!

Not to mention, it quite frankly doesn't matter to anyone here but God what church I go to, how I came to salvation etc. I'm sorry that I can't sit here and patronize you. As a Christian, I will think for myself, and take the bible, the WHOLE bible. I won't cherry pick out certain parts that sound good, and leave out parts that sound "harsh". I have my opinion on things, much like you. When I came on here I wasn't rude, I simply presented my point of view. I'm not the one acting rude on here.
