!["Same-s+x marriage isn't biblical" - Deeper life's founder, Pastor Kumuyi 1 1703232655376](https://akelicious.net/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/1703232655376.jpg)
The General Overseer of Deeper Christian Life Ministry, William Kumuyi, says same-s+x marriage is not biblical.
The statement comes a few days after Pope Francis granted approval for priests to bless same-s+x couples in church. However, he said the union will not be recognised as marriage.
“Such blessings should not be conducted with any church rites that offer the impression of a marriage,” the pope said.
In an address at the opening ceremony of a joint event of the Global Crusade with Kumuyi (GCK) and the 2023 National December Retreat tagged “Emmanuel”, Kumuyi said he would only adhere to the teachings of Christ on marriage. He asserted in his address, asserted that the command of Christ Jesus was for a man to get married to a woman.
“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 said.
“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 d£ath do us part.”
