GENERAL Overseer of The Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), Pastor
Enoch Adeboye, has deplored the legal backing for same sex marriage in
some countries, describing it as evil, capable of wiping out human race
in 20 years of its practice.
This is even as he lauded the
National Assembly for legislating against same sex marriage in Nigeria,
adding that right thinking human being should kick against what he
termed “an evil and absurd practice.”
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, who
described same sex marriage as anathema to God’s will and instruction,
said “the will of God for human being is to be fruitful, replenish and
multiply on earth,” saying anything contrary to that was devilish.
“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 said.
The
cleric, therefore, implored those who indulged in the act, which he
described as sacrilegious, to repent and turn to God, stressing that
“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 the Pastor to speak for those that don’t have a voice, how about setting the world straight on the matter even if you don’t have Faith to believe that Jesus has made Gays acceptable in the Beloved. HE died for the Ungodly to live after all. He set NO PUNISHMENT for GAYS AND LESBIANS as it is not a sin where it was a sin ( under the law) – we are no longer there . that is what being a Christian is under the law of Christ and the new dispensation.
