Same-sex marriage is not biblical – Pastor Kumuyi
The General Overseer of Deeper Christian Life Ministry, Pastor William Kumuyi, has spoken out against same-sex marriage, saying it is unbiblical.
Speaking at the Deeper Life International Conference Centre, KM 48 Lagos-Ibadan Expressway, on Wednesday, December 20, Kumuyi emphasized that the command of Christ Jesus was for a man to marry a woman.
“The Lord Jesus Christ told us before he left that we should go into the world, teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit; teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you. He even says that heaven and earth will pass away, but his words will not pass away.
We remain in obedience to Christ and submissive to him and continue the works of Christ who said that a man and a woman should be joined together in marriage until death do us part,” Kumuyi said.
His statement comes just days after Pope Francis granted permission for priests to bless same-sex couples in church. However, he said the union will not be recognized as marriage.
“Such blessings should not be performed with any ecclesiastical rites that offer the impression of a marriage,” the pope said.
