Kumuyi, Catholic bishops reject Vatican’s approval to bless same-sex couples
‘Blessing gay marriage against God’s law, cultural sensibilities’
Same-sex marriage is not in tandem with biblical tenets and teaching of Jesus Christ, the General Superintendent of Deeper Life Bible Church, Pastor William Kumuyi, has said.
Kumuyi was reacting to the approval of the Vatican giving priests the permission to bless same-sex union across the world.
Speaking at the opening ceremony of a joint global crusade with Kumuyi and the 2023 National December Retreat, tagged: Emmanuel, Kumuyi noted that the commandment of Jesus Christ was for a man to get married to a woman and not same-sex marriage.
“The Lord Jesus Christ told us before he left that we should go to the world, teach all nations, baptising them in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost; teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you. He even says heaven and earth shall pass away but his words will not pass away.
“We stand in obedience to Christ and submissive to Him and we carry on the works of Christ that said a man and a woman should be joined together in marriage until death do us part,” he said.
The Catholic Bishops Conference of Nigeria (CBCN) yesterday took the same position as Kumuyi.
