As news of the controversial Nigerian law banning same-sex marriages continues to make headlines worldwide, renowned Prophet T.B. Joshua has spoken out on the contentious issue.
Through a new initiative on his ministries official Facebook page in which the cleric responds to people’s questions in an interactive session, he addressed the much debated question on same-sex marriage.
“Judge not, so that you will not be judged,” Joshua began, citingMatthew 7:1 for Scriptural backing. “We should talk to people to be saved and not to die. I mean, we should talk salvation, not condemnation. The Bible is my standard,” he continued in the post to almost 900,000 fans.
“If my parents were one, I would not have been given birth to,” he proceeded poignantly. “Those that are asking this question – if your parents were one, you would not have been given birth to. You that are reading me – if your parents were one, you would not be reading this today. God bless the reader and the hearer.”
