LETTER OF THE DAY - 'To hell with the United Kingdom!'

THE EDITOR, Sir:

THE UNITED Kingdom stated that if we fail to change our buggery laws, then it will withdraw its financial aid. In a time of scarcity, we certainly need financial aid in order to ease the burden of the hard times faced by our people.

However, being a Christian country, we will follow the principles of the Bible, in that righteousness exalts a nation and sin is a reproach to every man. Leviticus 18 vs 22 states, "Do not lie with a man as one lies with a woman; that is detestable". According to the principles of the Bible, buggery is detestable in the eyes of God. How can we ask Him in our anthem to bless our land and yet allow what is an abomination to be practised in our country?

In the Bible, we see how Sodom was destroyed by God's mighty hand because of this detestable practice. In present time, we see how the mighty America is crawling on its knees because many of their practices are contrary to the word of God.

We thank God for the role of the Church in our country. I must say if it wasn't for the prayers of the saints, our country would have suffered the same fate as Sodom.

We say 'to hell with United Kingdom'! We will not bow to their ungodly demands. Their financial aid will lead to people having AIDS.

In our country, God comes first and in His holy scriptures it is clear that the righteous will never be forsaken, nor his seed begging bread.

Jamaica. WE ARE ALREADY BLESSED.

Andrew James

Seaforth, St Thomas
