Same-Sex Marriage Isn’t Biblical – Pastor Kumuyi

Pastor William Kumuyi, the general superintendent of Deeper Christian Life Ministry, has strongly opposed same-sex marriage, arguing that it is not supported by the Bible.

Speaking on Wednesday, December 20, at the Deeper Life International Conference Centre, KM 48 Lagos-Ibadan Motorway, Kumuyi emphasised that Christ Jesus had commanded a man to marry a woman.

“The Lord Jesus Christ told us before he left that we should go to the world, teach all nations, baptizing 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,” Kumuyi said.

Shortly after Pope Francis gave priests the authority to bless same-sex couples in churches, he made this comment. He did state that the partnership would not be accepted as matrimony.

“Such blessings should not be conducted with any church rites that offer the impression of a marriage,” the pope said.
