INSIDE GRENADA
DECEMBER 21, 2007
by Osborne Baptiste
Fellow Grenadian, visitors, brothers and sisters in Christ Jesus:
Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lust of their own hearts, to dishonor their own bodies between themselves: And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one towards another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompense of their error which was meet.Ro.1: 24 & 27.
Brothers and sisters in Christ Jesus: There are some pastors and politicians in this country that are prepared to play games with God Almighty, and with the people of God; but let it be written; and let it be clearly understood, that they are in for a rude awakening.
Where are the pastors in this land? Where are the people that claim that they know God? And where are the vehement protests of the leaders of the opposition? To the plans of this government to bring in sick, and or,deranged perverts, to pollute the land: and to provoke the wrath of God once more in this country. The scriptures tells us that these people were supposed to be judged, condemned, and put to death not only under Old Testament Laws, but in the New Dispensation.
Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination. Le,18:22. If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them. Le. 20: 13. Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.Ro.1: 32.
Brothers and sisters in Christ Jesus: This is a situation where the nakedness and emptiness of some people are being exposed. Think about the pastors who support this government. What kind of consideration or respect; did this government show for the word of God; or gave to the pastors that it knows that have shown support for it? The answer is none. I hope these developments will help us to understand, why the church should separate itself, from supporting and working along with these unsaved politicians.
Sin can only bring us shame, and judgment. And as for judgment, we have seen a lot of it lately; and I can assure you that unless this nation repents quickly, that we do have much more to come, and that some of them will be shockers.
Brothers and sisters in Christ Jesus: A Christian Government would have known about the spiritual complexity and ramifications, of bringing in homosexuals and casino gambling in this country. It must be carefully understood that the word of God Almighty, is above all International Laws and Conventions, and that the safety and security of the people of Grenada,
Carriacou, and Petite Martinique can only be guaranteed, if we obey his word; and remain in his hands.
NO HOMOSEXUALS: AND NO CASINOS GAMBLING. MR. PM
to the frist writer on the comment board yes god made everyone but his words says to hate sin not the siner therefore just because they choose to live in sin dose'nt mean we as believers have to accept their life styleor embrace it.

Gay persons - both male and female - have been around from time immemorial. There are gay persons in Canada, where I live, in the US and in every country around the world, including Grenada. Grenadians have always known that. Why the outcry at this time? Because some gay persons (tourists) are visiting? Thousands of tourists who are of the gay type visit Grenada every year. Let us not judge others who are different from us and hate them because of it. As someone said, gay people were also made by God, just like the rest of us.

It seems that this Pastor has already passed judgement on the gay people,that they should be condemned and put in hell.But just one question,as a man of God,aren't you supposed to lead people in the way of the lord,meaning showing them the path to Christ?It just seems you have already passed judgement.Judge not and ye shall not be judged.Pastor,i know you mean well,but treat all God's people the same,love one another,and stop preaching fear.

Mr. Osborne, I hear your comments loud and clear and I understand where you are coming from Biblically. The Bible also state that "let he who is without sin cast the first stone". Rather than casting blame on the government and the lifestyle of these people, turn your energy into prayer.
Always remember that we are all God's children gay or straight. I really do not care what you have to say but gay people are also children of God. The were made in His own image and likeness just like you.
I live in New York and I am a Christian. I alway tell my pastor there is no need for us to point fingers at gay people, we just need to pray for them, because we all have the same Father and he ask us to prayer for each other, he did not say that if they were gay, murders, rapist or child molesters we should not pray for them. He did not exclude anyone he just stated that we should prayer for each other.
The fact is this gay thing has become such a major issue bothers me. As a child growing up in Grenada there were so many gay people walking the streets. Do not sit and act like gays have just got to Grenada. There have always been part of our community.
There are much more issues that needs to be addressed. As I always say we need to clean our house before we attempt to clean someone else's.
