Adeboye
spoke at the Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife, during a thanksgiving
organised by the Joint Christian Mission of the university.
He said,
“Same-sex marriage is an anathema to the will of God for human beings to be
fruitful, replenish and multiply on earth. Anything contrary to that is evil.
“How can a
man who marries a fellow man produce a child and how can a woman who marries a
fellow woman produce a child?
“If this
evil is allowed to stay, there will not be newborns again in the world. As the
older generation dies, will there be a new generations to succeed it? Even
plants and animals have new generations to succeed them.”
Adeboye
called on people practising same-sex marriage to desist and flee from the wrath
of God, warning that God frowns at same-sex marriage.
The cleric
enjoined Nigerians to walk with God in 2013, saying that sin would hinder the
growth of a country.
He
urged Nigerian leaders to shun sins and said the country would be the
better for it if her leaders exhibited uprightness and dedication.

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?
ReplyDeleteMany say that He upheld it and that the conversation that He had with the Pharisees regarding divorce was the proof to this fact that God made them male and female for the reason of multiplication etc. The Topic of that conversation was Divorce and whether it was allowed by God, Fact 1 God did not allow divorce Moses was the one that gave the permission for people to divorce not God. Whilst we still accept it that Yes God did create them male and female ( for yes even Gays and lesbians were a produce of male and female getting together ) we should be asking what the bible then meant when it calls Jesus the Last Adam., we should also consider what the Last Adam did at the Cross . Lastly whether we are still under the law which the last Adam came to abolish or whether we are under Grace.
Galatians 3:13 tells us that He paid the price for us breaking the law of the Old testament this clearly includes taking on 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.?
UNSCRIPTURAL IN EVERYWAY, they that lead into captivity will themselves go into it . etc.
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!) , for where 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. Without faith it is impossible to please the Lord , for one must believe in the Works of the Cross.
