Manny Pacquiao posts Bible verse saying gay men 'are to be put to death
Despite apologizing ,Manny Pacquiao was dropped by Nike yesterday after
he criticized gay couples,saying they were worse than animals .And now,
has found himself at the centre of fresh controversy today after posting
a Bible verse saying homosexual men should be killed.
Written alongside a since-deleted picture showing Pacquiao with wife Jinkee, he quotes Leviticus, saying:
'Do not have sexual relations with a man as one does with a woman; that
is detestable.'If a man has sexual relations with a man as one does
with a woman, both of them have done what is detestable. They are to be
put to death; their blood will be on their own heads.'
He also quoted a passage from Luke which seemed to be aimed at critics who blasted his initial comments.
He wrote:
'Blessed are you when people hate you, when they exclude you and reject
you and insult your name as evil, because of the Son of Man.
'Rejoice in that day and leap for joy, because great is your reward in
heaven. For that is how their ancestors treated the prophets.'
