Same Sex Marriage Is Evil, Says Adeboye
Foremost cleric, Pastor Enoch Adejare Adeboye, has condemned the same sex marriage that has been made legitimate in some countries, saying such should not be introduced in Nigeria.
Pastor Adeboye, who is General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), described same sex marriage as anathema to God’s will and instruction, saying the will of God for human beings is to be fruitful, replenish and multiply on earth, and anything contrary to that is devilish.
The renowned Christian cleric who spoke at the New Year thanksgiving organized by the Joint Christian Mission of the Obafemi Awolowo University (OAU), Ile-Ife, said same sex marriage was capable of wiping out human race within just 20 years of its practice.
He said, “How can a man who marries a fellow man produce a child? And 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? Even plants and animals have new generation to succeed them.”
Adeboye therefore called on those who indulge in the sacrilegious act to repent and turn to God, stressing that “like poles repel, while unlike poles attract.”
While praying for peace and stability of the country, Adeboye enjoined all Nigerians to walk in the ways of God this year and shun all evil acts which may attract the wrath of God on the nation.
He also urged the people to walk in the light of God and forsake acts that are traceable to darkness, saying “darkness is bad, it is evil. It produces poverty, hatred, sorrow, bareness and loneliness.”
there are many points of rebuttals here - the first being that even the way men and women are fruitful are not the way that God intended. It is implied in Genesis as God states to Eve that in sorrow she have give birth ( multiply ) we can safely assume that Gods intention was to do an operation like He did with Adam or something along those lines. So with that arguement it is possible that God could further develop the manner in which multiplication takes place or perhaps restore to the original plan that He had set before the fall in the Garden.
ReplyDeleteThe second thing is this- whilst it is true that God did outlaw homosexuality and lesbianism in the Old Testament ( Leviticus 18:22) are we still under the law? Nope we are under Grace and must take into consideration and thanksgiving what Grace did in Jesus Christ the last Adam. Galatians 3:13 tells us that He paid the price for breaking the law of the Old testerment this clearly includes homosexuality and lesbianism which was a law in the Old testerment and had conseuquences if you broke it. Under the Law they were killed under Grace He took away the punishment and LAW , for where there is no law there cannot be any transgression of breaking it. Many Christian Gays and lesbians do not see it as a sin nor it to be devilish but see it as the Completed Works of the Cross , the penalty of what was once a sin being paid by a Loving Lord , as it was neccesary.
