Nelson Mandela Is In Hell - Jim Solouki & Martin Baker

Nelson Mandela, Satan’s new toy!

 This supposed heartfelt message from two guys who call themselves true 'Christians' will definitely leave you shocked and speechless.
Here's what they wrote on their blog, together with pictures and the captions they put on the pictures about Nelson Mandela, the great hero who just died.

Greetings True Christians! 

Today Nelson Mandela, former president of South Africa, ended his worldly life and entered the depths of Hell. Mandela was an unsaved heathen, and died without knowing the Lord.  

Not only did Mandela influence American Democrat Barack Hussein Obama, but he also practiced a heathen African tribal religion.

Unfortunately, while Mandela did some great things for the nation of South Africa by ending apartheid, Heaven is like an exclusive club, unsaved unwelcome. Mandela died unsaved, and is therefore not welcome in Heaven. 

Nelson Mandela was also influenced by Darwinism and Communism! Mandela was an avid reader of Marx in the 1950s, and everybody knows that God hates Communists!  

Mandela allied himself with Communists and heathen Indian Gandhi, who is also in Hell. Instead of seeking a Christian approach to freedom from apartheid, Mandela instead turned entirely to heathens. In fact, Mandela and Gandhi even are rumored to have engaged in rampant homosexual acts with each other while planning protests!

Nelson Mandela loved Karl Marx!

Mandela was also friendly toward Muslims, God’s hated people!  

Mandela was linked to the American Civil Rights movement, and many members of this movement were Muslims. Know what the Muslims did after they got African Americans equal rights? They crashed airplanes into buildings and

"Mandela Inspired My Historic Path To The White House' - Obama

 

Obama, who spoke some minutes after Mandela’s death was announced, said Mandela’s life had inspired his own historic path to the White House.

“And like so many around the globe, I cannot fully imagine my own life without the example that Nelson Mandela set. And so long as I live, I will do what I can to learn from him. Through his fierce dignity and unbending will to sacrifice his own freedom for the freedom of others, Madiba transformed South Africa and moved all of us. His journey from a prisoner to a president embodied the promise that human beings and countries can change for the

Top 10 Inspiring Quotes From The Great Nelson Mandela

Freedom fighter, statesman, moral compass and South Africa’s symbol of the struggle against racial oppression.

That was Nelson Mandela, who emerged from prison after 27 years to lead his country out of decades of apartheid.

Here are some of his top inspiring quotes:

“No one is born hating another person because of the
colour of his skin, or his background, or his religion.
People must learn to hate, and if they can learn to hate,
they can be taught to love, for love comes more naturally
to the human heart than its opposite.

“There is no easy walk to freedom anywhere, and
many of us will have to pass through the valley of the
shadow of death again and again before we reach the
mountaintop of our desires.

“Our struggle for freedom and justice was a collective effort…it
is in your hands to create a better world for all who live in it.

“Out of the experience of an extraordinary human disaster that lasted too long, must be born a society of which all humanity will be proud.

“We understand it still that there is no easy road to freedom. We know it well that none of us acting alone can acheive success. We must therefore act together as a united people, for national reconciliation, for nation building, for the birth of a new world.

“To deny people their human rights is to challenge their
very humanity. To impose on them a wretched life of hunger and deprivation is to dehumanize them. But such has been the terrible fate of all black persons in our country under the system of apartheid.

“People may say to spend 27 years in prison you have wasted your life. But the greatest

The former South African President Nelson Mandela who passed away Thursday evening at the age of 95 remained on the U.S. terrorism watch list until 2008, when then President George W. Bush signed a bill removing his name from it. 

Then-Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice called the restrictions a "rather embarrassing matter that I still have to waive in my own counterpart, the foreign minister of South Africa, not to mention the great leader Nelson Mandela." 

South Africa's apartheid regime designated Mandela's African National Congress (ANC) as a terrorist organization for its battle against the nation's legalized system of racial segregation that lasted from 1948 to
