Re: 10 Reasons why GOD HATES SOCCER!

...God did not create evil people...

Again, how do you reconcile that claim with Isaiah 45:7 and Proverbs 16:4, which explicitly state that He did?

...because we are all made in his image...

"...So God created man..." <--- note the SINGULAR "man" and NOT "men".

That says God created Adam in His image. Did Eve have a penis?

And all this is leaving alone the "...Let US make man in our image, in OUR likeness..." can of worms.

Genisis 1:26 " then God said , ' let us make man in our image, in our likeness, and let them rule over the fish of the sea, and the birds of the air, over the livestock, over all the earth , and over all the creatures that move along the ground. So God created man in his own image , in the image of God he created them ;male and female he created them ."


Genisis 1:31 "God saw all that he had made and it was good. And there was evening , and there was morning - the sixth day.

God did not create evil people, because we are all made in his image. We are not inherently evil. When we sin, THAT is evil

Re: 10 Reasons why GOD HATES SOCCER!

How have I misread the scripture?? Every verse I've posted on here was accurate to every word.

You still haven't bothered to explain how you resolve the discrepancy between Scripture from the Bible (ie. Proverbs 16:4, "The Lord hath made all things for himself: Yea, even the wicked for the day of evil.", Isaiah 45: 7 "I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the Lord do all these things.") and your contention that God does not create bad people.

If you want to claim to be Christian, a good place to start would be to stop saying that God lied in the Bible.

10 Reasons why GOD HATES SOCCER!

There is a reason why God's favorite nation America could care less about soccer while Hell bound nations like Australia, Iceland, Holland, New Zealand, Ireland, and Denmark are all playing soccer (some even dare to call it football) all the time. While Americans play God's chosen sports like Baseball, American Football and Basketball the rest of the world is pleasing Satan with soccer. Everyone either involved or interested in soccer will burn in Hell for all eternity.

1st Corinthians 10:31 "Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God."

#1 Soccer is all about lying and cheating!
The most common way to win a soccer match is to trick the referee into giving you a penalty by feigning an injury, to make it appear as if a foul has been committed. Soccer players are specialized in dropping down and pretending to be hurt. They study children of 3 years or younger to learn how to perfect this technique. If the match is very important, like a world championship, they usually just bribe the referee to win. Proverbs 6:16-19 "... the LORD hate ... a lying tongue ... A false witness that speaketh lies ..."

#2 Soccer players want to be treated like prophets!
Too weak or slow to play football? Play soccer. Too short or slow to play basketball? Play soccer. Even though soccer doesn't require any athletic talent or advanced motor skills, soccer players somehow convinced themselves to be very special. Huge crowds of drunk soccer fans worship these arrogant brats as if they are Jesus Christ Himself. Matthew 24:24 "... false prophets ... deceive the very elect."

#3 Soccer is mostly about sex and drugs!
In 1974 the Dutch lost the World Championship soccer because their players had so much sex and drugs before the world cup final with Germany that they forgot to show up. Someone even wrote a book about it! Ephesians 5:18 "... be not drunk ..."

#4 Soccer players are extremely lazy!
If you have a very strong stomach and you can watch soccer for a few minutes without puking your guts out, just pay attention to a single player. It doesn't matter which one. Most of the time this player will either be standing still, or slowly walking from one place to another. If you look even closer you will notice all players only cover a small part of the playing field to minimize the chance of getting tired to an absolute minimum. Proverbs 12:24 "... the lazy man ..."

#5 Soccer prevents people from going to Church!
Most soccer training and soccer matches are on Sundays! Satan deliberately designed soccer this way to doom as much people as possible to Hell by preventing them from going to Church! Acts 20:17 "... the elders of the church."

#6 Soccer makes people gay!
Soccer is all about grown man hugging and touching each other in ways only gays would approve off. The favorite part of a soccer match is when the actual match is over and all players can get naked together in a huge shower. There is not a single soccer player in the world who is not gay. It's reasons like this that make ultra-gays like Sir Elton John a soccer fan! Romans 1:26-27 "... burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly ..."


#7 God has sent us many signs He hates Soccer!
God has warned humanity many times by sending crystal clear signs that He hates soccer! Clear signs like the Heyse Stadium disaster, the Hillsborough disaster, the Orkney Stadium Disaster, the Ellis Park Stadium Disaster and the Accra Sports Stadium Disaster leave 0% room for doubt that God hates soccer with a vengeance! Luke 18:27 "... The things which are impossible with men are possible with God."

#8 Soccer supporters are extremely violent!
If a bunch of soccer hooligans would have attacked Afghanistan, we would have won already! Soccer violence is without limits and is the most extreme form of violence known to man. Soccer hooligans are all totally insane psychopaths who completely lose every shred of humanity. Psalm 73:6 "... violence covereth them as a garment ..."

#9 Soccer and fascism are actually the same thing!
No one in their right mind can deny the connection between soccer and fascism. It is very common for soccer fans to wear Nazi symbols and to shout Nazi insults during soccer matches. In German concentration camps zyklon was used to kill as many Jews as possible. For this reason Umbro named their extremely popular soccer shoe Zyklon!

The English (!) soccer team in 1938:


#10 France is successful at soccer!
And to prove for once and for all that God really really hates soccer, just note that France is successful at soccer! Psalm 9:17 "... all the nations that forget God."

All people wasting time on soccer need to repent and accept Jesus Christ as their savior! Until then, they will suffer and they will burn in Hell along with people wasting time on Tennis, Golf, Cricket, Gymnastics, Swimming, Ice Skating, Lacrosse, Curling, Rugby, Softball, Cycling, Hiking, Horse Racing, Skiing, Snowboarding, Triathlon, Wrestling, etc.

<FACEPALM>
Are you serious?
Quite apart from the fact that your god and your jesus did not create football, I can easily respond to those ten points.
#1 Soccer is all about lying and cheating!
Ehhhhhh.... No, it is not. Have you ever been to a game before? It is rare enough that that happens, and you are seriously not trying to say that no other sport ON THE PLANET has cheaters?
#2 Soccer players want to be treated like prophets!
You mean, like every OTHER pro athlete? The players are not trying to be praised as your god. They have fans because they are skilled. Some people can understand that.
#3 Soccer is mostly about sex and drugs!
Umm... What?
When I was three, I joined the local U6 soccer league. I have to admit, I had a lot of fun. Why not? Soccer is a popular, fun sport. When I was three, I NEVER did drugs or had sex. I have NO CLUE what THAT is all about. Oh yeah, and one more thing: You, again, are not trying to tell me that football players, (cough cough LYLE ALZADO cough cough) baseball players, (cough cough ALEX RODRIGUEZ cough cough) and basketball players (cough cough CHRIS WASHBURN cough cough) have never done illegal drugs or game-changing steroids.
#4 Soccer players are extremely lazy!
I would like to see YOU play a full-length game for an hour and a half, plus stoppage. Remember, each team only has three substitutions in a game. That means that most of the players are going to be playing for a LONG time. Of course it is only natural that they would not sprint all the time! If you can sprint around kicking a ball and scoring goals for an hour and a half, then I would be extremely impressed. However, the difference between you and soccer players is this: Soccer players have brains. They, at the beginning of a ninety-minute game, do NOT expend all their energy, especially when you keep in mind the whole three-substitute rule.
#5 Soccer prevents people from going to Church!
Evidence shows that people have been playing soccer-like games since approximately 2500 BCE (Before Common Era). That means that it is about 4,500 years old. People did not go to church that far back; at least, not Christian ones. Sunday is a good day for soccer. Apart from the fact that games are not all in the morning, the week is also played. It is like hockey. Every day (or other day) there is a game. This link shows thee schedule of games in England for the year.

http://espnfc.com/team/fixtures/_/id/448/england?cc=5901

#6 Soccer makes people gay!
No, soccer is not about 'grown man hugging and touching each other'. It is about putting the ball in the net. It is like hockey, without ice, sticks or skates, and with a ball. Simple. You want a sport that has grown men feeling each other? American Football. They are too busy rubbing each other to notice where the ball is half the time! One more thing. There are many gay football players, and GUESS WHAT? Fire and brimstone and plague and death and destruction has somehow inexplicably FAILED to plague this world. Go figure!
#7 God has sent us many signs He hates Soccer!
A.K.A. There has never been any American football, baseball or basketball disasters. Ever. Yeah, right.
#8 Soccer supporters are extremely violent!
They are simply excited. And YET AGAIN, are you saying that American football fans are not violent? Baseball? Basketball? How about the riots after the Grey Cup?
#9 Soccer and fascism are actually the same thing!
Uhhhhh........
Once again, you are incorrect. Soccer has been around since 2500 BCE. That obviously outlives the Nazis. As for the swastika and nazi insults, well... All I can say is that when I played in the Little Soccer League, I never shouted 'Hail Hitler'! The Swastika... I have never seen it worn on a player. Please show me an image of this. But even then, it does not matter. The word "swastika" comes from the Sanskrit svastika - "su" meaning "good," "asti" meaning "to be," and "ka" as a suffix. Until the Nazis used this symbol, the swastika was used by many cultures throughout the past 3,000 years to represent life, sun, power, strength, and good luck. Even in the early twentieth century, the swastika was still a symbol with positive connotations. For instance, the swastika was a common decoration that often adorned cigarette cases, postcards, coins, and buildings. During World War I, the swastika could even be found on the shoulder patches of the American 45th Division and on the Finnish air force until after World War II. It was a symbol of peace, before the Nazis used it for... well... you know. It is actually very sad to think about it as a symbol of luck, love and strength of the soul being mutated into the hated symbol of today.
#10 France is successful at soccer!
Now that's just racist. And completely off topic. And fairly inaccurate, too. France loses many of its games. Sure, it is not the worst team, but it is somewhere in the middle-top. Not the best.
As for the rest of the sports at the bottom...
Let's pretend that I am a Christian. I have discovered the cure for cancer. I have solved world hunger and world peace. I have given every single homeless person a home and loving family. Unfortunately, I went for a hike in the mountains, so I go to Hell. Or maybe I am a gymnast, so I go to hell. What is wrong with rugby, anyway? It is very similar to football, but with slightly different changes in the gear and field.

Re: 10 Reasons why GOD HATES SOCCER!

Matthew 5 : 43 " you have heard that it was said, ' love your neighbor and hate your enemy .' But I tell you : love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, that you may be sons of your father in heaven. He causes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous. If you love those who love you, what reward will you get? Are not even the tax collectors doing that? And if you greet only your brothers, what more are you doing than others? Do not even pagans do that? Be perfect, therefore, as your Heavenly Father is perfect."

Jesus

Let's use the real Bible, shall we?

Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy.
But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you;
That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust.
For if ye love them which love you, what reward have ye? do not even the publicans the same?
And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye more than others? do not even the publicans so?
Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.
Matthew 5:43-48

Re: 10 Reasons why GOD HATES SOCCER!

Um Mary why don't you read John 3:16? " for God so loved the WORLD that he gave his one and only son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have everlasting life".

Nowhere here does the verse say " for God so loved only Christians ...

A) In the next breath, John 3:18, the Bible tells us anyone who doesn't believe in Jesus is condemned (keep in mind, believing that Jesus exists doesn't qualify one for His unconditional love: John 14:23). He can love them all He wants as He drop kicks them straight to Hell, then laughs and laughs and laughs (Psalm 2:4)! Praise God!

2). Read your Bible, dear. You'll see just how many people God specifically mentions He hates. Here's a few examples:

"And ye shall not walk in the manners of the nation, which I cast out before you:
for they committed all these things, and therefore I abhorred them."
Leviticus 20:23

"And I will destroy your high places, and cut down your images,
and cast your carcases upon the carcases of your idols,
and my soul shall abhor you."
Leviticus 26:30

"And when the LORD saw it, he abhorred them,
because of the provoking of his sons, and of his daughters."
Deuteronomy 32:19

"The foolish shall not stand in thy sight:
thou hatest all workers of iniquity."
Psalm 5:5

"Thou shalt destroy them that speak leasing:
the LORD will abhor the bloody and deceitful man."
Psalm 5:6

"For the wicked boasteth of his heart's desire, and blesseth the covetous,
whom the LORD abhorreth."
Psalm 10:3

"The LORD trieth the righteous:
but the wicked and him that loveth violence his soul hateth."
Psalm 11:5

Re: 10 Reasons why GOD HATES SOCCER!

And how dare you call gay people trash...

That's what the Bible considers them. Jesus called people "vipers" and "dogs" when they didn't agree with what He said.

Jesus is impolite. Deal with it.

...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...

Proverbs 16:4 "The Lord hath made all things for himself: Yea, even the wicked for the day of evil."

So if, as you claim, "the wicked" are in the image of God, then you're claiming that God is wicked.

...So you're just calling Gods' creation trash...

Isaiah 45:7 "I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the Lord do all these things."

God says (in the Bible) that He makes evil, and He calls it evil. You, on the other hand, call what God has said is evil "good".

...And we're all sinners, no matter what...

You and I may be, but the True Christians™ aren't. As a matter of fact,

True Christians are Perfect!

...We are supposed to be the lords shining light in this dark world...

You? The Lord's shining light?

You can't even stop sinning yourself. What kind of example are you supposed to be?

...Lets go into the world and Gods word of salvation

Derr, wuh?
