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 & the 2023 National December Retreat, 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.

“He even says heaven & earth shall pass away but his words will not pass away. We stand in obedience to Christ & submissive to him & we carry on the works of Christ that said a man & a woman should be joined together in marriage until d£ath do us part.”
