The General Overseer of The Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), Pastor Enoch Adeboye has condemned ‘Same Sex Marriage’ describing it as evil.
Speaking at the New Year thanksgiving service organised by the Joint Christian Mission of the Obafemi Awolowo University (OAU), le-Ife, at the weekend, Adeboye said that the act is ‘capable of wiping out human race in 20 years of its practice’.
‘The will of God for human being is to be fruitful, replenish and multiply on earth’, Adeboye noted, further describing Same Sex Marriage as anathema to God’s will and instruction.
‘How can a man who marries a fellow man produce a child? How can a woman who marries a woman produce a child? If this evil is allowed to stay, there will not be new born babies again in the world. As the older generation dies, would there be new generation to succeed them? Even plants and animals have new generation to succeed them’, he asked.
He implored those in the gay community to repent and turn to God adding ‘like poles repel, unlike poles attract’.

Whilst it is true that God did outlaw homosexuality and
lesbianism in the Old Testament (Leviticus 18:22) we need to ask whether this
ban has been amended by the Lord Jesus or upheld and or are
we still under the law?
Galatians 3:13 tells us that He paid the price for us
breaking the law of the Old testament this clearly includes the consequence of
breaking the ban on homosexuality and
lesbianism law, so why are countries
like Nigeria and Uganda advocating imprisonment and or the death penalty.?
Under Grace He not only took the punishment for us but took the law all the way
out of the way , He flung it out of the way ( it was necessary!) , and if you
like He took the law away – forwhere there is no law there cannot be any
transgressions.
This is what many Christian Gays and lesbians believe and they do not see their state as a Sin
or devilish what they see is the
Completed works of the Cross – where you can have your Love thanks to your Lord
who paid the Price for you to be with the One you love even though he or she is
the same sex as you.
We had expected someone like Pastor Adeboye to set things straight and speak for those that dont have a voice in Nigeria, God did not advocate imprisonment or any punishment for gays and lesbians EVEN if you dont have faith that God has made them acceptible in the Beloved this one thing is clear – NO PUNISHMENT is to be set
Lizzy dear, you got the Bible all mixed up for sure!!! Jesus did not save us so that we can remain in filthy lifestyle. Please try and read the Book of Romans chapter 6 verses one to seven. You will see that if you sincerely believe that Jesus the Christ has saved, then you are not supposed to walk in your old sinful lifestyle because you are supposed to be a new creation in Christ. Please my very dear one, am not saying that it is easy to turn away from habitual bad lifestyle, that is where you can demonstrate that Jesus really can save if you sincerely ask him to save you from what the Bible (both in the Old and New Testaments) has declared sinful, abominable and closet-lifestyled. Just acknowledge that it is sinful as declared by the Word of God, this is the beginning of salvation – Acknowledge, then repent and ask for Divine help. The Holy Spirit will intervene in your in-ward being. Cheerio deary mine.
