Bishop David Oyedepo, the lead pastor and founder of Living Faith Church, has once again criticized gay marriages.
The Bishop told clergymen at a recent conference that God created men and women for a purpose which is to fill the earth.
He disapproved of gay marriages, warning that any pastor who arranges a same-sex wedding in his church will not enter paradise. No government policy under heaven, he says, can overrule his beliefs.
Bishop Oyedepo said, “Don’t say I believe the whole bible. Specifically, what are the fundamental things you believe? Do you believe in the second coming of our Lord Jesus Christ? Do you believe in the second coming? you believe in rapture? You believe in marriage between man and woman? not between female and female, man and man?
“Till Jesus comes, anyone who dares to marry man and man in this church will not make heaven. No policy of any government under heaven can rule over my faith. What I believe I believe. It is not your policy that brought me to what I believe.
“People fall too cheaply to things. We are defenders of the gospel. Male and female he created them. Reason? to replenish the earth.”
