Gospel singer Mali Music sparked controversy last night when he implied that the Orlando mass shooting victims didn’t make it into Heaven.
During a concert at Howard Theater in Washington DC on Tuesday, the 28-year-old Arizona native asked the crowd, “Anybody want to make it into Heaven?”
As the audience applauded, he continued, “There was about, um, thirty couple of people who went to a place a couple of nights ago, and they wasn’t expecting to be thinking about Heaven too soon. So it’s important that you really do be trying to go.”
Reading between the lines, the implication is the victims didn’t make it into Heaven because they weren’t trying to go. In other words, they weren’t thinking about getting into Heaven since they were at a gay bar.
The cavalier manner in which he stated the number of victims as “thirty couple” (instead of 49) and the dismissive hand wave seemed condescending and judgmental.
Outraged Twitter users took the singer to task:
But Mali’s supporters were quick to jump to his defense, saying earwitnesses misinterpreted what he said.
Gospel singer Michelle Williams (of Destiny’s Child fame) tweeted: “Fact checking is a thing of the past. Folks were ready to destroy @MaliMusic for something he CLEARLY didn’t say!”
Fact checking is a thing of the past. Folks were ready to destroy @MaliMusic for something he CLEARLY didn't say! ? https://t.co/x0CsXip2Us

Mali’s first album Mali Is… was nominated for a Grammy for Best Urban Contemporary Album. He is set to headline the Essence Music Festival in July.
Click here to watch the video and judge for yourself. He makes the statement around the 3:42 mark.
Pastor Roger Jimenez and this dude ain’t going either.
**dismissive hand wave”
I think he meant that they weren’t expecting to die so soon. I took it as you just never know what will happen. Sometimes we have to look at statements at face value. Just my opinion.
how the fugg these mofos know who will ultimately rest in heaven? how do you claim to be a christian and not know the facts about the final judgement? who is your pastor and bible school teacher?
that last sentence is the one i think folk keyed on even though his command of the english language leaves something to be desired.
don’t he look he sukk dicc on the low with dem DSLof his?
Matter of fact he looks like he been doin MORE than just sukkin dicc, he take it up to his dookie hole…now *dismissive hand wave*
Yes I heard about him this morning. Why do people like that have a congregation?
I listened and I can see that too.
You don’t go out thinking “am I right with the Lord, If I die tonight am I going to heaven” unfortunately we have to now
Yeah…..they were talking about it in the breakfast club…this man is crazzzzzzyyyyy
I don’t know but I came in here and that was the first thing I looked up. That Pastor needs to GO!
Yah, that is where I got it from then came in and looked him up. A shame before EVERYONE’s God!
He’s got some DSL’s on him. Coupled with that perfectly groomed facial hair and fleeky eyebrows. How you doin’ Mali Music?
Why I was just thinking that? He got that twinkle.
Wow he is a clown
I think you reaching. Maybe he was saying when them folks left home they didn’t think they won’t gone make it back.
That really hurt my heart this morning.
That’s how I took it too
Those that judge are just as guilty as those that do
I hope this is the wrong pic for this story because he looks ghey. And, he should really concern himself with mastering the English language.
…
Love his music. That’s all I got
Exactly!
All the man said was they where not thinking about going to heaven. Like my minister does every sunday and that is to remind us to live every moment like its your last..Be ready, on the roof top. He did not say they went to hell nor was it implied. Smh.
I read the headline and saw that flaming pic and was ready to come in here and tear him a new one but after reading the story folks are reaching. It wasn’t that serious.
me too especially since not all of them were gay and making that kind of statement and broad generalization makes him no different from the gunman
Girl say that….We supposed to be asking for forgiveness for all things and you never know if you are able to get forgiveness from God before its too late. So regardless of what your lifestyle is you just never know when its your last day. People are so quick to misinterpret things!
I tell u ppl can’t even say shyt no more without the LGBT community taking offense. Chill…
There was lady there who went to club with her son. Then had the audacity to call them folks “pedophiles”. Someone needs the take time to explain to him the difference.
Looking at this picture gives me I’m suppressing my…Nah…Let me stop and go read the story first…I will say that folks need to learn to ignore the Sandra Rose’s of the world and be who they truly are…Suppression leads to misdirected aggression as we’ve seen in Orlando?
They stay mad.
Boy you like you would have been there sashaying and all ? I’m sorry ima stop…?
Here we GO!!! Listen I know the shooting that took place in Orlando is a serious matter and a lot of people especially those who live by their religion beliefs are all thinking the same thing that this gospel singer has said.
However, what he said was uncalled for bcuz just bcuz U think it or believe it doesn’t mean U should say it. Rather they were g*y, straight, BI, or confused doesn’t give any of us the right to determine their afterlife. All I know is, before they are g*y they are human and no man should take life into their own hands so I can careless that they are g*y my thing is bcuz of one man’s hate, rage, and reckless behavior caused so many people their lives. Now when it comes to my religion, may God have mercy on their souls but when it comes to us all being human and sympathizes to senseless death and killings, may they all RIP.
Sigh…
OH PUL-LEEEZE!!! (eyeroll) That is not how that man meant it….and you know it. If he is targeting anyone….it’s none-church going people, who opt to hang in the club instead of bible study….he is just speaking from a christian belief of being prepared from a christian perspective…
People don’t listen to understand these days. They wait for other people to explain it to them in a tweet. The man said nothing wrong. A better story is about the gay man that said the started praying and kept saying that he believed now…..he sort of believed in God before, but he feels like God showed up for him and he absolutely believes now.
Truthfully he looks like he is a hop, skip and a jump away from being apart of LGBT community on the low. There’s a lot of Donnie McClurkin’s in the gospel industry. Don’t be fooled.
I said it upstairs… He on that side ?
He is a singer not God’s spokesperson.
That’s not what he said. He said they weren’t thinking about going to Heaven that soon. Meaning most people don’t believe when they walk out the house they won’t make it back.
These people died because of hatred and ignorance and people are still looking for reasons to find hatred or be ignorant for something and somebody else.
Who wakes up in the morning or goes to bed at night looking for reasons to be mad?
I didnt think that’s what he was implying. I took it as, they weren’t thinking about dying.
How about instead of assuming what he said, asking him to verify instead of trying to vilify.
Exactly. I pray for not only mine but this worlds understanding and tolerance.
I will say this God love the LGBT he died for them too. That’s what He told me. Not everyone represent God and they aren’t speaking the heart of God. There are many LGBT that love God but are treated unfairly by the church that is about to stop. God has put a lot into His remnant that He is releasing because He wants His prodigal sons and daughters to come home. Mali may give a statement saying what he meant (I’m not saying he meant it any kind of way) and he may not. However, no one can say who will make it to heaven and who won’t. Only God knows. No one knows the prayers those men and women prayed before losing their lives.
I think what he said wasn’t malicious but taken out of context.
Frfr
Ditto…between that Bejin hair dye and his smouldering look in that pic I was like huh??
He meant no harm lawd, he was saying when they went to the club they didn’t know they’d not be returning to their earthly home. Goodness
Right. Like saying you never know when it’s your time to go.
The God I know, Loves us all!!! Even this idiot!!
Some of y’all…I can’t
Exactly things my mother says every conversation about getting prepared as you never know the end….
Some folks on Black Twitter.
I don’t think he implied that. I wouldn’t be shocked, however, if he did.
How does a Pastor (Roger Jimenez) fix his mouth to say ‘he wished the killer had finished the job. Said that gays need to be put in front of a firing squad.’ What bible is he reading from because apparently it was devoid of the love scriptures! Geesh! Now that’s someone who needs to be investigated and put on a ‘watch list.’
exactly
Miserable folks.
Me too but communication is speech, tone, delivery and body….that “30 couple of people” was tacky.
A LOT of yall. I cant.
He just means get right with God, no one knows when he will call for you
It’s the way he said it. The implication was obvious.
Bingo
While he can’t say who was saved or not I don’t think he meant because they are gay though, but what do I know. Nobody has a heaven nor hell to put people in though….
First of all, Mali you got the victim count wrong. Second of all, no one wakes up and move about their day expecting to go to heaven/die. Third of all, WE ALL need to “get right to go home,” and that includes you Mali. I’m sure your closet ain’t free of dust mites and cobwebs. How about you sweep around your own front door before condemning the lives of those lost to such senseless violence. Mf’s kill me!

Maybe it was the way he say it (I didn’t watch the video). All I know is whenever a major tragedy happens everyone get’s to talking that “Get your life right; love everyone; you never know when it’s your time” talk.

What he is saying is the truth. If these people were living in sin and unrepentant they are in hell. That’s not his opinion or mine. It’s the word of God. That being said, we don’t know these people and their relationship to God so we can’t say. But the word is the word and the truth is the truth…If you believe the word of God to be truth.

He didn’t mean it that way.FURTHERMORE… People do things in their day to day that wouldn’t allow their afterlife residence to be heaven since folks judging ?
Why do the pastors and gospel singers prejudiced against gay people always look gay themselves. I’m not quite sure how to say this but the pastors and gospel singers appear to copy the look and style of gay men yet at the same time condemn them.
It still doesn’t make sense to me that a black male pastor settled out of court for allegations of r-ape and molestation of black male youth and still tens of thousands of people follow him. Does that pastor go to Heaven?
Help me understand.

I don’t think he meant it like the way some folks interpreted it. Everyone does need to get their lifeet right. People are dropping like flies. Especially too many young lives

“Man and wife in their bed
One of them by the spirit led
The capture came and took the one above
The other one rose on the next day to found their love one raptured away
Oh what a day we lose the one you love
I pray we’ll all be ready…”
That’s all Mali Mal was saying.

Who is he to say whose going to heaven or not. Like he gotta a stairway to heaven. These so call Christians always judging others…..harshly.
I’m at Chick Fil A right now!
I was just thinking, why are nearly all male gospel singers gay looking?

Who’s to say who’s sin keeps them outta heaven?!?!
No room for judging….

He looks like a booty bandit too!! Must have been talking to the man in the mirror.
I had to look at The pic twice and zoom in to make sure I wasn’t tripping. Lol
I’m reading his words differently than your write up
We >>>here<<<
Where you bean yo?! ?
I am going. I been wanting a frozen lemonade since Sunday
I’m eating for us both. I’m in glazed donut numba tree Kona
I don’t think he was trying to be insensitive because they were gay I think people like this guy ( the ones who think you have to go the a church or building in order for GOD to love you) are sooooo misguided. You don’t get to say who goes to heaven and who doesn’t. Silly rabbit get ya head out ya arse lol
So, you were really investigating! Hahaha. Nancy Drew is on the case
Never had Chick’s but you should try Sonics…they are everythang…and they have plenty of flavors…
AND I’ll go a lil further and say some folks might’ve got ‘saved’ that night.
I downloaded the app for the free chicken sandwich. They make it far too easy for my inner fat girl to get her life.
Oh my ??
Lol I was so caught off guard I had to:-):-)
“Anybody want to make it into Heaven?”
As the audience applauded, he continued, “There was about, um, thirty couple of people who went to a place a couple of nights ago, and they wasn’t expecting to be thinking about Heaven too soon. So it’s important that you really do be trying to go.”
I don’t get that he was implying that at all. Sometimes when we dissect every little detail we tend to miss the message.
What I get from what was said, is simple. A group of people went out thinking they were going to have a good time and go home. Unfortunately instead of going to thier earthly home they went to their heavenly home. Who would have imagined knowing this was going to be there last night on earth because a lunatic sealed their fate. Live your life, love because tomorrow is not promised. That’s what I got from it, I guess.
Right!
I’m starting to believe that jumping to conclusions is a psychological condition. This man did not say that those people weren’t getting into heaven nor did he imply it.
LOL. Smurfette, you place your order through the app, pay, and park. They bring the food out to your car. If I had more kids, I’m afeared they would be chicken nugget and french fry children off convenience alone.
Now SR IF you really wanna post some Bullshatt? Post on the preacher that they showed on msnbc last night. He was really saying mean spirited things about this AND MORE!
We turn Sonic OUT for Happy Hour. Imma put it on my try list. Sure am
I done used it about 3 times already
WATTT
NONSENSE ???
I’m glad ion like ‘messing with my phone’ *snorts* I be like App? What? Nah no thanks
Kona

No one wants to look at face value, they rather have fluff! SMH!
SR Sprankled this story ?
Yes!!!! This guy!!! I saw the footage last night!
Unbelievable!
Mannie of em
? Maybe we can trade some in hmmmm Kona
Repent and get life insurance!
I’m usually like that. They got me with a free sandwich though.
I want
Someone messed around and gave me a $50 gift card. I just want to be right, but folks won’t let me live.
He look like he like anus and balls? *le weep*
+1
i thought being gay was a sin? no? Bible thumpers kill me applying “the word” where they c fit!
This made me laugh out loud for real…at least your fat girl is inner…mine is inner and outer…the odds are against me! LOL
omg this is crazy! It’s so simple. The point is that you don’t know what will happen to you at any given time so it is important to always be prepared( doing whatever you feel would get you into heaven). That’s all. I swear blacks and gays stay reaching for stuff. Goodness
Lol at “stairway to heaven.” I actually don’t think that’s what he meant, but I know a lot of Bible thumpers. They would say something like that.
(Petty post alert)
Da fugg he got on though???? His pj’s?
Then got a lining but still put on a skully. Isnt invests in dc right now?!
I know or hope he ain’t performing in this get-up!
You want me to get you something when I roll up to the Chick then? Mine inner and outer too.
Reading between the lines, the implication is the victims didn’t make it into Heaven because they weren’t trying to go.
—–
Let’s not read in between the lines here. It’s plain. No one knows the time and the place in which they will die; therefore, if u want to go to heaven get right with God. Those 49 people went to the club not expecting to die. <— is probably what he was trying to say but didn't come out that way
The decision of the creator is the only one that matters. Our weighting of sins is not his.
I’m only 1 Reese’s pieces away.
Why the petty disclaimer? This is new?
I like Mali. His voice is amazing, and his music is uplifting. He has a song on “Mali is” (which isn’t his first album) that talks about making it into heaven. Maybe I need to see a video and hear the whole thing but that quote doesn’t imply what people are thinking.
Yes, judging from the quote, he can never be mistaken for having a way with words???
I was just thinking the same. Sometimes things are just black and white. Not everything is gray.
Sandra get us up out this damn post
………………………….
You know Saundra likes to chose less than flattering photos. It gets the people going.
has it started already, lmaoooo
Plus he looks a little light in his loafers himself up top.
Black bastard. This is why I don’t go to church now. They sit up in their pews and judge. Not realizing that the stories in the bible are about today and now. What part of let he who is without sin throw the first stone don’t these Christians get? When God says he loves everyone that’s what he means. A lot of Christians don’t understand that. They can’t understand a love like that. Let me know what church he goes to because I will never go there.
LOL!!! I’m tryna rebuke this spirit but it ain’t working…fat chick has taken over and is wreaking havoc! Jesus be some Slim Fast…quickly! Hold off on the Chick for now…let’s see if my last prayer worked! LOL
Immediately, please and thanks
I guess he been delivert …
Yes. Tis a new ‘Thing’ we’re doing in the Garden. SR-approved
?????
What happened ? ????
Right and we ALL sin in one way or another…
Daquan Idiots! That’s what happened. They dumb. Probably uneducated ? Surely close minded.
Same ole same ole ???
I’ve read what he said over and over and I’m still mad at “thirty couple of people”. We should be mad that folks might start to use this in everyday conversations.
I think if he made this same statement and the victims weren’t at a gay club, it probably wouldn’t be dissected, but so many “Christians” have come out of the wood work saying some of the most awful things that people are automatically looking for the negative.
Surely close minded
=========
This part murdered me.
No let them!
I like to know Who I’m talking to.
? Sometimes you gotta dumb down your convo ? I.E. “Style Flexing” ????
They sit and wait and refresh for this kind of post to comment.
Its already started. The baby was alligator food downstairs.Why was they in the water (I read that they were not. They was chillaxin by the shoreline). Innocent alligators had to DIE to examine their bellies for the baby remains. Womp womp womp
They kid dead.
So for the people who watched the clip, did he imply it or not?
Good morning you all
Good morning Keya and Jordy
I would say so if I’m judging by that pencil thin outline on his face. Smdh
I didn’t watch (but Imma steal answer yew ?)
From what I read ? This has been determined to bee ah lie (Maury voice)
Kona
They bring their asses from all over the nigga internet just for stuff like this. I guess MTO boring today.
Hey luv, I honestly dont think he meant for it to come across like that . He didn’t seem like he was throwing stones but jusjust telling ppl to get right BC you never know . I am more than Eyre mist if them ppl thought they would live to see another day . We walk around like tomorrow is promised ..seems Luke he just was reminding ppl it isn’t .
Butter, please ask her to get out. I’m ready to see her and dilated. Come on gal.
The realist shyt I heard today
He has a lot of nerve, especially looking as suspect as he does.
I have to dumb myself down? Why I eem got to talk to em???
LOL. Oh the chubby cheeks, baby breath, and coos! C’mon Jordy.
Hey there!
Aww!! I can’t wait for you to meet her!
Come on BABY GIRL! EVACUATE
I just sinned; lustful thoughts. Will I be stoned before I can put some dack on the calendar?
Dilated??? ?
WATT?!?!
*running in circle In a rush*
???
Good Morning!
Rules! ???
And baby toes. I love lil itty bitty baby feets. They be so precious.
The N. I.

Their mine (mind) limited you say?
yall don’t even wanna hear what my catholic grandmother said. -_- i’m working on her.
It depends. Duh!
?????
Can I make this quick announcement? *dust off blog bull horn and mumbles under breath “we still ain’t get this fixed?* Uhhh Good morning Roses, Throns, and people who come to be hateful. If you are responding to something I said, and you begin to write an entire book, SAVE IT. Who do you think is reading that mess? Especially when what you had to say was retarded to being with. AND your trying to get smart and you can’t even see your about to get your stupid ass read because the real stupid one is YOU?! Chile boo and bye. Just save it. Matter of fact you need to cut it. Instead of trying to tell me I’m lost or sleep or whatever, go manage your edges or lack there of. Thanks. Now step off. *drops bull horn and walks off to a snack*
OT for a second. I went and found Tamika Fuller IG. She seems to be a very positive woman. I am now a fan of hers. To hear the garden tell it she was a homeless ass irresponsible no job having trick who sits around all day and cooks up ways to make her daughter father life miserable. She is the opposite.
Mali Music was very clear for those who care to hear and understand
No one goes anywhere or wakes up thinking today I am gonna die
As a “Gospel Artist” he said think about heaven
As the old spiritual song says ” This may be my last time
This may be my time I don’t know”
To all who care to be believers
What pleases or displeases God what could keep me out of heaven
Because we make plans like our Lives – the breath we breathe ain’t in God’s hands
We continue doing our thing instead being obedient to God – his Word
Please read New Living Translation bible
Roman’s chapter 1 verses 16 to 32
Remind me again who’s bm she is? Luda or Usher?
Morning!
If folks don’t go count the sand at the beach with this whole “innocent animals” BS. Listen, if it’s us or them , ESPECIALLY CHIRREN, I’m choosing us every time. Well…some of us??
Luda. Post downstairs on her went ALL the way left yesterday.
and you learned more from her IG than the judge learned in multiple hearings?
This dude looks like a Claymation and he looks as suspect as hell.
Maybe he and the shooter were butt buddies who hooked up via Grindr.
Oh he’s a bootleg Bob Marley.
Bird told me she’s on IG. I may have to create an account just to get her in touch with my lawyer.
I didnt say that. I said she comes across as positive on her social media.
That Roger Jimenez dude is the worst! Man of God he is not.
I don’t think I have any can today. My face balled up so damn fast….someone help me.
If folks don’t go count the sand at the beach

Chile. Log off. You and Fetus J dont need this.
I am SO rooting for her.
Glad I missed it. Now if it was about Laura and her standing ass, I would of been for it. I don’t know enough about Tamika to drag her. God bless her.
I wish I could help. I had to get another coworker all the way together. I think the baby face is misleading, but hopefully the rest of my team has learned and won’t try it.
Girl it’s hot and this belly is heavy and people in my real life on my damn nerves. I’ve got the time today. Shoot. Smh.
New Post
Disney Gators
What was you listening to?
Did you read others comments and make a false judgement against this man?
Sadly, you have to sometimes make an example of one for the rest to get it. Smh.
OMG. We need a Laura/Gilbert post STAT. I read HIS page too this morning. Chile. CHILE.
Gilbert drags the entire Shyt outta her. And it’s her damn fault. I have nothing for her simple ass.
Truth

No he didn’t imply it
He just said think about heaven Because we don’t know when we are gonna die
He has no command over the English language…I wouldn’t even care about what he thinks.
Yeah petty Eyez
Instead of Eyes
Lolll
Tomorrow is not promised for anyone…
That is TRUTH
There are plenty of Pastors and preachers, religious people using The Orlando Massacre as a platform to castigate a homosexual lifestyle, and were doing so before the massacre. There are Christians who need to demonstrate the love of God and loving everyone as His creation and not judge them or anyone.
In this case, even in Christianity, I think his message was basically saying don’t get caught slipping. It’s the same message everyone says, as if it is your time to go, will you be ready? Are you right with God? Do you accept Him as your Personal Savior? And because the people who were in the club partying may have not nor thinking of God, which is his interpretation of why they weren’t going to heaven, not that they were homosexual.
Thing is, at the very last hour, you can call His name and He will acknowledge you and take you so this is where this Mali guy got it twisted.
Dafck , im not going downstairs NOPE
How do you know they were all gay?
Some females go to gay clubs cause they are not gonna be hit on
The one girl from philly went to celebrate and was underage
That bar accepted underage folks
So some could of been there to just party
And please hear what Mali Music said and not what you want to hear and what others have said
SMDH….a baby and they worried about an alligator that they eat a pappadeaux anyway
I didn’t listen at all, my comment is in regards to him preaching anything or being in a position to preach , when he himself looks really suspect. 1 Corinth. 6:9. Of course that is “My” opinion, which I stand by , I don’t need to piggyback off of anyone.
Maybe he was talking about something else. 30 and 50 are a large spread.
Time for the construction of the largest ever Muslim internment camp the human world has ever known. In Mali he would be the minority religion (under jihad attack) of the black run country.
He sounds a bit ignorant, but I don’t get an immediate gay slur from his statement. it sounds, to me, like he was saying in general that as we go about our daily activities and look forward to turning up on the weekend, we don’t think about leaving home and never returning (I certainly don’t think like that, if I’m being honest). I think that could apply to any group of partiers anywhere and of any sexual preference.
On a positive note, I have a couple of summer alphits with those same colors, which I absolutely love. He and I have almost the exact same sweater!
Gay men have a certain style?
If that pastor doesn’t change his heart
His actions
Ask for forgiveness from the one he wronged
According to bible he does not go to heaven
No matter how many followers he has
I skipped out yesterday on many posts. Sometimes I can’t. For real. It be some real fukc sh!t going on and being said. Like in here… RIGHT DAMN NOW. Misery loves company and sometimes you got to be happy by your dolo.
No no…you baking that precious baby. You don’t let nobody get to you.
I agree
It was clear
Same color though? Chase..throws a pateone color chart at you.
I think he meant that they weren’t expecting to die so soon.
……………………………………
that’s the way I read it also
Michelle boo boo why don’t you go eat a sammich and shut it!
SIGH…yes instead of
At the very last hour
Amen!
not sure why this made me chuckle, lol
STOP.
I MISSED it?! AGANE???!!!

~mumbles~ She calls that a walk? Looks like a full throttle wobble from ova here, but I ain’t said nuthin’ ?. Mmmm ?.
AND HE LOOKS GAY
You know that’s why it was posted…
Sooooo, let me get this straight, someone says they aint going to heaven and people are upset, really. I swear people put they happiness in others way too much. llol , this is too funny, I cant believe yall.
I love baby feet. I put them on my face and…WHET? ?
I guess so.
He didn’t say they weren’t going to heaven
He wanted everyone who is living to think about heaven cause you never know when you are gonna go
LMAO!!!!!!!!!!!
Y’all are running on full tuhdae! ?
Honestly – I think it was how people “took” his statement. I took it as tho – always be right with God because you never know when you might meet him.
Maaaaan ~Terrence Howard voice~

Amen. I honestly believe this is where people have misconstrued the message of a Christian. It’s not about condemnation or going to hell because you are Homosexual…(even though there are preachers who preach that sending the incorrect message of Christianity…) It’s about getting yourself right with God and being ready. The bible says those who deny Jesus, denies the father in Heaven, until you repent. We serve a very loving and forgiving God, and at the end of it all we will see. Be ready, be right, repent. For every knee shall bow and tongue will confess.
This is not about being preachy or bible thumping either. We all fall short of the glory, however there are Antichrists and atheist or people who don’t believe certain things people like you or myself may speak. It’s not about that, and I think the good people have a right to spread the true word of God and the meaning, and make sure things and we are not misinterpreted.
~faints~ somebody get me a cloth…and some of @Zeta tire dressing.
WHY YA GOTTA BRANG POPPA DOUGHS INTO THIS? ?
That reminds me…
They took his sermon off Youtube. Said it was hate filled and doesn’t fit the format.
If you adhere 100% to the Bible, did he say anything wrong? If this massacre had not happened some people would be saying the same thing don’t several Religions spout this type of rhetoric all the time? Isn’t homosexuality just one of several sins that send you to Hell in gasoline draws according to the Bible? Maybe we need to stop blaming people for saying foolish things that they get from foolish teachings. A man can judge another on Earth, we have our laws and social norms, but no man knows your judgement when you die. We just have our beliefs. Mine: Be good to yourself and others, Help those less fortunate, protect the weak, Do no harm to children, respect elders, pay homage to our ancestors and of course to The Most High, do not commit rape, murder, or torture and you will have a good life and death.

I just read some of this Pastors remarks
Pastor Roger Jimenez
And it is a utter shame to God
According to the Bible
God wishes that no man would perish
And that all men would come to repentance
GOD Rojoices in mercy over judgment
These were souls that may or may not have repented
Human beings lives who were snuffed out whether one agrees or disagrees with their lifestyle choice
See…
“…from all over the nigga internet”
……………………………
You’ve captured it beautifully… I couldn’t think of a way to articulate the influx of fuggery, smh
Who are you talking about Mali Music or that foolish pastor?
LOL! Ok! Hope your day is going great!!!!
Good day, Ray!

I got it for a Baby Freebush. Went to the one in Atlanta airport and got my face smashed.
BF: Momma. The man said he can’t take your app.
Me: I guess you won’t be getting some nuggets or a sandwich tuhdae. Come on over here and get some Popeyes or Paschals.
That’s called thick ?.
? But I thought they said…nevermind.
Girl. Listen. I was repeatedly called out just for expressing empathy for a woman who lost custody of her child. I didn’t argue that it was or wasn’t her fault. I didn’t say she should get mother of the year. I simply said I FELT sorry for her circumstances. I know how I felt when my sister took HER child and moved out of our house and into my grandfather’s house. I was DEVASTATED by not being able to see that baby every day! So, I readily ASSumed that a mother having her infant child taken away was at least as traumatizing as me missing my nephew.
Happy hour? What in the world are you putting in that slushie?
“face balled up”
…………………………
LMAO!!!!!
this a bad sign….
MY PEOPLE PERISH FROM LACK OF KNOWLEDGE…
SO SICK OF ALL GAYS GOING TO HELL,..hell THE GOD THAT I SERVE…HATES ALL SIN…BUT LOVES THE SINNER…
this idiot…LORD HELP THESE FOLKS THAT ARE SUPPOSE TO CALLED ACCORDING TO YOUR PURPOSE!!!
*poof*
So grown people still believe that after you die you got to heaven? Really? What bible are y’all reading? Dead people are asleep, they stay asleep until the second coming . They’re not in Heaven, they can’t be because Heaven will be here on earth. This is exactly why I don’t go to church and read the bible for myself. The confusions to much.
John 3:13: “No one has ascended to heaven but He who came down from heaven, that is, the Son of Man who is in heaven.” That seems clear! Why is it so hard for so many to believe?
People who have died are not awake in heaven! They are “sleeping” or resting in their graves. The remaining verses of 1 Thessalonians 4 confirm this. Notice:
“For this we say to you by the word of the Lord, that we who are alive and remain until the coming of the Lord will by no means precede those who are asleep [are dead]. For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first” (1 Thessalonians 4:15-16).
Sandra say she just tryna keep the people informed…
*snickers*
Chile ?
girl yes! I have all shades of turquoise and that bright blue in my down-to-the-harbor wardrobe, LOL!
But mannie are one and one is mannie.
um? This to me?
I started off by saying not all of them were gay … lolol!
Me and my taken girls go for the reason you listed. To not be bothered and to wild out
That last sentence ?
I know he ain’t talking about nobody with that suspect line up on his beard and that heavy makeup on
I’m talking about things in the Bible that I personally do not 100% believe, things that are the basis for saying that “Gays” or Revelers(people in clubs) are going to hell unless they repent and accept “Jesus”. The Bible and the Holy Quran say a lot of wild stuff that most people would call anyone an azzhole for posting on social media after ANY murder or mass murder. The potential for bullisht is extremely great. As soon as I was old enough to read I realized that if God wrote the Bible some powerful men must have edited it greatly to their benefit to remain in that power.
Would the same comment have been made if they were straight?
Sew true
People are so negative he clearly was just saying keep God first
People are so negative he clearly was just saying keep God first

His face is painted for the Gawds and heaven. Maybe it’s maybelline
Exactly!
So help us all understand what “Gay” looks like?
I heard people say the same thing after 9/11, Katrina, Oklahoma, Haiti, flight xxx, etc. The message was always the same.
Sounds to me like he was saying that those people were out Saturday night, and making it to Heaven was not on their minds at that time. Let’s stop trying to destroy people on social media (twitter, FB, etc.).
I wish I could have liked this 100 times!!! #IAgree
HE’S SO FUNNY, AND CLEARLY GAY TOO.
LOL ??? rite…
Ok I have a question…. And I’m looking for thoughtful honest answers…
Why isn’t it ok for a person to believe what they believe and it be ok….. As long as it’s not hurting anyone why is it such a big deal what ppl believe or say if it’s not hurting you… For me I don’t really care if you don’t accept LGBTQ lifestyles as long has you aren’t hendering their life or putting anyone in danger…. But this whole if you don’t believe like me actually pisses me off….. The whole joy of life is differences…. And I feel if you don’t agree with certain things then it won’t be in your private space i.e. Your home ect. I know plenty of ppl who are no accepting of certain things and if they come in contact with something that makes them feel uncomfortable they repectfully remove them self with no issues…. But it’s llike if you aren’t alll the way in you are alllll the way out…. It’s my right to be or not be and it is ok…
he went and got a becky too
Church folk so hypocritical
He looks cinnamonny so, he’s not going either!
Leave granny alone. She have lived through many things. She’s not going to change any time soon. Just go on and give her a hug.
30 ppl?
Sometimes it’s best to keep quiet. This shooting could have happened anywhere. Praying for the victims, family, and friends. Rest in peace to all of the life’s lost.
Never base your life decisions on the opinions of a gospel artist. Never.
LOL Trust me, I believe you. I’ve been trying for a few years now to convince her that gay people are people worthy of love and respect. She looks at me like she’s worried I’ve gone mad.
It does not matter if someone is gay or straight. (We) the people are not ( god) so we cannot determine who is going to heaven or hell! So sick of this being a topic of discussion
Fuking dead!!!!!!!!!!! LOL LOL LOL
That’s all he was saying! Everyone takes offense to everything.
Yea it was a insensitive comment. He made the comment completely out of context and it was way way too soon. If he don’t apologize, I won’t be buying any more of his music.
If that’s what he believe ok everyone has a right to their beliefs but to say it so cavalierly my God 49 families are in mourning and you’re thinking about lifestyle great job rep of the body of Christ
I hope he didn’t say it because he is clearly a gay male gospel singer. #hisbeard is a strong, strong indication of my statement.
All these bad things being said about the gays who died…is this an indication that the gay agenda being forced down our throats is NOT working or being as accepted as one thought?
Sorry, I can’t. My thought is just because someone is a Pastor doesn’t mean he is ordained or represents God. Compare Jesus’ life to today’s Pastor’s lifestyles and behavior and perhaps you will get a better understanding.
I hope he didn’t say it because he is clearly a gay male gospel singer. #hisbeard is a strong, strong indication of my statement.
Now I’m so mad at these folks taking this man’s statement out of context! People want everything to be so accepted when it comes to the LGBT community but won’t accept the Christian community. How hypocritical! U say Christians are hypocrits by not accepting gays but arent u doing the same thing by not accepting Christians and their views? All we should be worrying about is everyone coming together during this time no matter what side u are on in ur personal walk. I dont know who made it in to heaven and 10 times out of 10 we are all hoping to make it in one day. Mali clearly made a point that we never know when our time will come and we dont focus on if today will be our day. Yes I love God and am saved, no I dont agree with the lifestyle but they are still human and deserve to be loved. I may have gotten saved early in life but I still mess up and I have to constantly repent for those mess ups. Who’s to say that each one of those people didnt have time to repent before they took their last breath and God forgave them? I guess we will all find out on judgement day when we have to stand before God and be held accountable for OUR OWN SINS and not the sins of the people in Pulse night club!! Sorry for writing a book but I’m upset and I’m an author
I so agree with that! That is why we must have our own relationship with God cause depending on a man to get us in heaven will cause us to bust hell wide open. It will be plenty of pastors, straight folks, Bible thumpers, and more that think they are a shoe in and will be sadly mistaken when they are denied access. Matthew 19:24-26 should be so clear but just like they took Mali’s word out of context Im sure they will this as well
Yes, gay men have a certain look and style.
Exactly.
There’s so much hypocrisy in putting someone down or being prejudiced against them yet replicating admirable traits about them like their style.
Sorry
I pray God
Strengthen u where u don’t have to wild out
Loll
im no ready to go to heaven either..but that don’t mean the God won’t forgive me ….
Thank you.
I really dont see where he said anything wrong.
Certainly has nothing to apologize for.
his beard indicates that he’s gay?
ok then.
I think he meant 40-something, instead of 30-something.
But I’m pretty sure he was talking about this incident.
I’m sorry I didn’t get that implication when I read it. I think it was taken out of context, can someone explain it to me? “There was about, um, thirty couple of people who went to a place a couple of nights ago, and they wasn’t expecting to be thinking about Heaven too soon. So it’s important that you really do be trying to go.” I took it as this incident was sudden and all the victims had to think about going to heaven sooner than they thought they would need to….?
I took it the same way you did…
Oh please. And he looks GAYer than anything that was inside that Pulse club, with his arched everything complimented by darkened shades of mascara. Ms. Mali you are an absurd mess. And the nerve of him taking an Instagram pic wearing that bright ass sissy outfit that looks like it came out of the clearance bin at Big Lots. And his music is garbage.
And Michelle Williams…that man. How the hell do either of these talentless nobodies know for sure they’re gonna make it to Heaven? Do they even know anything about Jesus? This holier than thou nonsense is absurdly ridiculous. I never heard a angels sing when either of these fools opened their mouths.
I’m more concerned with a generic brand headlining a festival. Has Essence lost it’s luster and budget? Are they paying with chik fil a meals now?
A couple 30 people a couple nights ago. Yeah, he was talking about those folks in Orlando. Damn Christians, I swear. Be the main ones judging. I wonder if these gay church men put their bibles in the drawer while they’re on their knees (sucking d***) praying.
I didn’t want to say it, but he aint knocking down the pucci. I’m simply not convinced. But we’ll leave that where?
Nah just an opportunity for gays to see how hated they really are for no reason other than being gay. Folks should be offended they can’t seem to get their own credit score above 598, but that’s none of my business.
He was being messy. He is a confused sissy who can’t decide whether he wants to be Beyonce or Kirk Franklin. Or both. He’s tired and wears entirely too much make-up.
Fortunately, his music sucks to the extreme and only a jackass would spend a dollar for a download of his musical garbage.
Look at those lips. God this guy is hideous to me. Half of his face is lips. I’m sure Eddie Long has information on those lips…
When are ya’ll gonna stop listening to these church sissies? They judge everybody and reserve hellfire for the masses and all the while, they’re hording church donations, buying Bentleys, and gobbling up all the dicks in town. Just ask Ms. Eddie Long. Or his wife.
It’s a fair question Cinnamon. Think about all the comments you’ve read or opinions you’ve heard that are adverse or speaking ill about gay folks. There are family members who will say I respect you being gay and living your life, although I don’t agree with it, I respect you. Folks speaking about gays or Orlando aren’t coming that way.
We’re seeing that’s what they get or in this case, they didn’t think they would have to think about going to heaven. So when you hear these comments over and over, it’s offensive. To be threatened or killed all cuz you’re gay, that’s a problem. I can not like many things, and I don,t, but I stay quiet about it or I don’t seek or look to support it. You can not support or agree with gays, but how about folks not do anything for or against gays. Just stay in their own lane and let gays be???
Scroll up to review the illustration provided.
No need, your picture popped up!
I know he ain’t talking…..sitting there looking ?sweeter then the honey in the honey comb?in Vicki Winans and singing voice
With the kinda heart he has he might notmake it either!!!he doesn’t know if those people made amends with GOD and repented and even if they didn’t I believe they are in heaven because of the way that the died I was always told GODS thoughts are not thoughts and his ways aren’t our ways so nobody can’t put anybody in hell worry about yourself and make sure you are in good standing with the good LORD and stop judging people because you don’t know when your expiration date is and you better hope it’s not soon…
Tamar’s edges, don’t do it!!
These folks kill me like they have a heaven or a hell to put somebody in…smh.
These folks kill me like they have a heaven or a hell to put somebody in…smh.
*kiss back *
Was that suppose to be in the form of a question? If not, then I don’t get it.
I read the bible. I know what it says however he doesn’t know who got right with GOD in their last minutes, and it’s not our right to say where anyone will end up when their time here on earth is over.
All I’m going to say it, God is a very clear God, if you don’t live by his word, you will NOT make it into heaven. Whether you are a homosexual or a murderer, no sin is greater then the other. Let me add that ,God forbid if someone doesn’t agree with the LGTB way of life, They are critized and bashed for their opinions or beliefs. It doesn’t mean that it’s hate or dislike, it’s someones’ personal opinion. My stance on it is, we ALL have the choice to live the life that we want to live, no questions asked. We will ALL have our judgement day.
I can agree with your sentiment….
Is this ignorant comment day? Since he and the Walmart dude look like they both patronize clubs like the Nutty Butty.
The man said basically the people in the club weren’t expecting to die. Yyyyyyyyyyyy everything gotta be gay bashing, damn???
Told you he was biting my style! Lol!
(The bright colors provide additional safety when I’m perched in my treehouse during hunting season :face palm: )
Pretty colors
That is not what was said.
Please stop listening to these soundbites.
It shows ignorance.
Take your gay-bashing, kill-the-Jews Bible, stick it down your bigot throat sideways and choke on it and then wash it down with Jesus Freak Kool-Aid.
While the Holocaust was going on, the Vatican and Protestant churches continued teaching that all Jews had to pay for the death of Jesus. Religion is garbage.
