Do not follow other gods that lead you to your own destruction.
Jer 7:6, GWT

 

Response to comment [from other]: "What's your impression of this? What do you think?"

 

Great Britain has lost it's greatness (Jer 7:6, GWT).

 

Response to comment [from a Christian]: "Well in all fairness, President Obama has gone out of his way to disrespect the British..."

 

That, too.

 

"Great Britain is probably already lost, they just don't know it yet. The enemy within."

 

Yep.  And we're headed there.

 

Response to comment [from an agnostic]: "What on earth is that picture supposed to be saying?"

 

"A lot of UK Muslims are against the US/UK war on the middle east?"

 

Do you believe war is always wrong? Eccl 3:8

 

Response to comment [from an agnostic]: "I happen to be half middle eastern. My father is from Iran..."

 

Ga 3:28, Col 3:11

 

"...We live in Britain. I'm one of those British minorities you're referring to. Do you think I'm gonna try to kill you? Do you think I support the Taliban? Well why the heck not, you're happy to assume it about the rest of my community."

 

Are you a Muslim (Ge 16:12) or an agnostic (lit. without knowledge Josh 24:15 )?

 

Response to comment [from an agnostic]: "I am not reading linked bible verses..."

 

We give out the word of God. What you do with it is your business.

 

"...in response to the statement "my father is from Iran"..."

 

Do you have a purpose for telling us that your father is from Iran?
 

"...Use your own words or bugger off."

I see you are a member of the "woman's club". Good thing they aren't calling it the "ladies club".

 

Are you from the East end?

 

"I'm an agnostic from a Muslim community..."

 

Agnostic (lit. without knowledge).
