Time to Re-write the Bible: Scripture DO Support Same-Sex Marriages….Claims A Female Baptist Pastor Married to a Female Bishop

lesbians kissing

Stories like this just put a smile on my face. I mentioned to someone that God created everybody in his/her own image so we all must embrace homosexuality. I was condemned to the hottest part of hell so is it surprising for a female Baptist pastor to marry a female Bishop and justify her actions with the same bible.

A Christian swingers website was also set up for Christian married couples to share and exchange partners and used the same bible to justify their adulterous actions…(forgetting the commandment – Thou shalt not commit adultery). It’s time to re-write the bible otherwise heaven will be empty.

According to the Christian Post, A fiery female Baptist pastor from Detroit shocked conservatives in her church and triggered a rift among the membership when she resigned after revealing she married a female bishop from Washington, D.C several months ago, charging that the Bible supports it.

Bishop Allyson D. Nelson Abrams was once married to a man and became the first female pastor of the Zion Progress Baptist Church.  Abrams, who is also a mother, revealed to the congregation she had pastored for five years that she was in love with Diana Williams, a bishop emeritus with the Imani Temple African-American Catholic Congregation in Washington, D.C.

She resigned after revealing her Sapphic nuptial to Williams, which took place in March in Iowa where same-sex marriage is legal.

She also resigned as secretary of the Council of Baptist Pastors of Detroit and Vicinity, an influential group of African-American Christians in metro Detroit. She stepped down as co-editor of the magazine of the Progressive National Baptist Convention as well, according to the report.

WHEN BEING BLACK SUCKS: A Texas Music Teacher Segregated Black Kids From White Kids Because Blacks Are All ‘Stupid’

black kids

When will being born black become a blessing in certain parts of the world like Texas? Imagine children being segregated based on their colour in class, simply because the teacher thinks the black kids are stupid…

SMDH!

According to CBS DFW;

Fifth graders at a Fort Worth elementary school told their parents a teacher separated them by race, and then insulted them and their families. The Fort Worth Independent School district said in a statement it was aware of the allegations, and would take appropriate action after the facts are known.

Parents said the incident happened in a music class Friday at Hazel Harvey Peace Elementary school. Sandra Lee said it was the first thing her daughter told her about after school.

“He called the class stupid, and when he separated the black kids from the white kids, he told the black kids I know where y’all from,” Lee said her daughter told her. “He said I can tell neither one of y’all get punished at home.”

Another student told CBS 11 News that he and some of his classmate were then told to leave the classroom.

Another Reason Why Being A Lesbian Is The BEST | GC Writer Shares Her Experience

black-lesbian-couple1

I just turned 31 years and interestingly, I have two Divorce certificates and multiple partners. You do not have to judge me from reading this because I am being truthful to myself—something most of the women out there cannot do.

My experiences with men have been one hell of heart break to another. Even the religious ones did it to me too. It got to a time I thought I was just not good enough for anyone, leading me to a courtyard of low self-esteem.

As most girls I know did, I had my first real encounter with a man when I was 19 and within 3 weeks; I was dumped like a piece of rag. I clearly remember how I felt when he will not return my calls and was seen countless times with my good friend—they were doing more than just hanging out.

From there, I tried most of them who were bold enough to pursuit me for 3 or 4 months. All the time, these men made me feel I was the only special person out there. And without me, life will end for them.

Eventually, they all jumped off. I got married to my first husband and the father of my 6 year old kid. He was caring and a good man—at least I thought so until I found out that he had slept with almost all my friends, including my little cousin.

As a woman who has a child with him, I was ready to forgive him but then, it was more than that. He was not interested in me. The only time he was nice to me was when he needed some money.

He finally moved out and after a year, divorce was the only option.

I do not want to talk about the hell I went through in the hands of men being a single desperate mother who so much wanted a fatherly figure for my son.  Nationality or colour was of no concern to me so I dated several of them—-they all disappointed me and left me standing alone in my dreams.

Award-winning Filmmaker-Akosua Adoma Owusu Launches Save the Rex Initiative for Ghana’s Creative Culture

Akosua Adoma Owusu

For most of 2013, filmmaker Akosua Adoma Owusu’s time and energy has been spent promoting her semi-autobiographical film “Kwaku Ananse.” After premiering the film at the Berlinale, Toronto, and London film festivals (where she received tremendous accolades), Owusu returned to Accra to begin her next project, “Damn the Man, Save the REX.”

The REX Cinema, located in Ghana’s capital city Accra, was built in the mid-20th Century by Ghana’s first president – Kwame Nkrumah. Once a vibrant and well-attended theatre, it now sits largely unused.

Determined not to let Ghana’s growing cinematic culture slip into decline, Owusu has put her passionate, creative drive to work reviving The REX Cinema.

Just last week, she launched a Kickstarter Campaign, also titled “Damn the Man, Save the REX,” through which she hopes to raise $8,000. The money will be used to transform The REX into a creative space that can be used not only by aspiring filmmakers, but musicians and other artists as well.

“My project, is about preserving Ghana’s cultural heritage, and is extremely personal to me,” she says. “Africans and Africans of the Diaspora can offer something real and valuable to the world of cinema…”

Love Brewed On Social Networks | Inspired By The ‘Facebook Marriage’ I Attended

Love

You never know where you will meet your loved one. It seems the latest ‘meet me there’ birthing of love is on social network sites chief among them—-Facebook.

While many a romantic relationship can trace its way back to Facebook, so too can many trace their demise. Yes, people do meet on social networks but the relationship ends in a virtual world….But to the extent of marriage?

I attended a marriage ceremony over the weekend where the couples’ love brewed on Facebook. My friend was very hesitant to say where they met because of cynical remarks she may get so initially she concocted a very nice story of meeting him on a bus…but the truth came out eventually. So, it started as befriending, chatting, meeting face to face, starting a relationship…then marriage. Nice!

The sense of intimacy that a network like Facebook will allow for with a total stranger is an ideal solution for an introvert. The only challenge will be how to sustain such when eventually it’s time to transit to a face to face status. There are instances where the ‘nice, cute, sexy’ person on Facebook, turned out to be someone who happened to be favoured by the lenses of a camera (they are photogenic) but just ‘unsavoury’ to behold in real life.

Sometimes, the online personality is different from the offline capacity! This is the part anyone willing to have a relationship on the social media wings would have to sort out – letting the potential partner know the real you before meeting so that hopes are not dashed.

When it comes to the formation, sustenance and even dissolution of relationships, the role of social networks is a central one. We find a potential mate and we stalk the person online by checking his or her comments and when last a status was updated.

Is ‘Westernisation’ Killing Marriages Among Africans?

making-marriage-last

I don’t think anybody goes into marriage with the mind-set that they’ll be divorced in a year or five years’ time but very unfortunately it does happen. Every marriage has its problems but when it gets to the stage where ‘irreconcilable differences’ sets in, the next point of call is the divorce court.

Too much TV, drama, movies and being an African with a ‘western mentality’ is killing off our culture. Married couples with ‘African mentality’ would rather endure marriages than go against what the Bible says. Many marriages in Africa was/is being “endured” rather than being “enjoyed”, it was common place to see couples married for 30, 40 years having separate rooms and not having sex for many years, yet they would not even think of divorce. Black Westerners don’t have that level of tolerance or faith to stay in a marriage that seems to have no future.

Economic factors, immaturity of people going into marriages, fake dispositions during courtship and a very stressful environment, weak family ties (not forgetting parental influences) and  break down of values were blamed for marriage breakdowns. Another school of thought is blaming ‘westernisation’ for killing marriages among Africans both in the diaspora and home countries.

There are migrants in the diaspora who are coconuts (they’re blacks but love to act/behave white). They act African when it suits them and white when the occasion calls for it. If you’ve gone through pre-marital counsel before, the woman is told to submit to the husband (which sometimes becomes a bit too scary for a young lady who is not yet ready to be subservient).
