The General Superintendent of Deeper Life Church, Pastor William Kumuyi, has said that same-sex marriage negates the biblical teaching of Jesus Christ.
Kumuyi stated this on Wednesday during the opening ceremony of a joint event of the global crusade with Kumuyi and the 2023 National December Retreat tagged: “Emmanuel.”
Recall that earlier in the week, Pope Francis had granted permission for priests to bestow blessings upon same-sex couples around the world.
In his address, Kumuyi stressed 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 even says heaven and earth shall pass away but his words will not pass away,” Kumuyi said.
“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,” he declared.
Speaking on the essence of the yuletide season, the renowned cleric said it was a period to celebrate the impacts and the sacrifice that Jesus had made for the whole world.
“There are some things that people do during this time that do not honour Christ Jesus, and do not help their health, things like; smoking, drinking substances, and doing other things that impact their health negatively,” he said.
Kumuyi emphasised that his zeal was to impact the youths, stating that December 26 had been slated for ‘Youth Impact’ to discuss the tremendous work of ‘Emmanuel’ which would change their lives.
“I have the vision, passion, and a mission towards the young people. People are looking for something that will make life meaningful for them. We have the road map; we have goals and everything they are looking for. We don’t condemn them, but we want to show them the best alternative.
“We’ll show them steps that lead to the discovery of what they are searching for. They will have the redirection they ought to have in life and a great thing is going to happen to everyone that comes,” Kumuyi said.
Well said sir,
I wonder what is going on in the mind of the the sons of men these days.
They just want to help Satan fulfill his mission, so are actually his agent looking for someone to carry along with to hell.
Very soon them go say make man go marry animal.
What nonsense imagine that.
Whoever wrote this as a news should pull it down because the Pope didn’t I repeat didn’t approve same sex marriage instead abolishes it in all catholic churches. Please stop spreading fake news.
Aaron, you’re the most ignorant of all Catholics. If you don’t read or listen to news please try and do that. The whole mainstream media, even from Vatican are filled with Fiducia Supplicant by Pope Francis in which he called for blessing of same sex marriage, which has attracted all positive and negative reactions.
He have said it all, all unrighteousness is the Bible says that, there is a way that semeeth right into a man but the end there off is dear.
You are right and may God help us to avoid sin
That is the Man of God, all those people that are saying same gender to get married may God we serve Jesus Christ help you to know the truth and let the truth set you free.
It’s well God will judge works of darkness. We stand on the word of God which said a man should married to his wife and not otherwise.
This is the one of the reasons why pope Benedict resign from office
Blessing a Union doesn’t mean Blessing a Marriage.
Regularly the Catholic Church Blesses Couples where only one member is a Catholic. It was called a MIXED MARRIAGE.
There is no Sacramental Rite of Wedding in such Cases.
If two Men or Two Women decide to live together, they may seek the blessing of the Church who becomes a mere Witness.
Most of these Samesex Unions are not for Conjugal but for purposes of Inhertance.
I was educated in two Catholic Secondary Schools and shared all boys dormitories for 7 years. Nobody talked about Marriage or Blessing.
Catholic Priests live together in Parish Houses and Nuns live together in Convents and nobody tslks about marrying either group.
You are a liar, the Pope sent a circular to all Catholic Churches not to bless or have anything to do with same sex marriages.
Why are you people like this now? HELL FIRE IS BECKONING ON YOU PEOPLE.
I’m glad you recognize that He’ll fire is beckoning on those who support gay marriage. That means, if the Pope truly approves gay marriage, he has become a candidate for Hell and you should be embarrassed for the man regarded as the Vicar of Christ
Where are you from? The moon. Pope Francis has endorsed same sex marriage. Pope Francis is an antichrist.
It is better, you get the subject matter right, I shouldn’t defend my faith because of my denomination, but to stand with the bible.
Igbos in Nigeria will still defend this madness. Occultic church
Please through pope message before you confused people
Mind your words please
The haters of Igbos will surely get tired. The God is with Igbos and that is why they prosper in whatever they do. Making reference to Igbos on an international issues that doesn’t concern Igbos is really foolish action.
Guy you dey listen to old story from Pope. Try reading the latest News from the Vatican before you call everyone a lier
You guys should not fight the Bible is there to keep you alife.
Tell them pls
There was a live coverage of this event by both CNN and BBc
Am sorry but you are not saying the Truth.
I saw a video of a Catholic priest trying to explain why same sex should be blessed that they are not joining them in Holy matrimony but only profering blessings. To me that’s rubbish.
Stop making unnecessary noise. Go online and see it der urself,i disnt believe myself at first until i saw it
How sure are you that kumuyi said so
If only you know who you are calling a lier you will have beg God for forgiveness for saying the man of God is a lier
All unrighteousness is sin
You haven’t even read what the pope wrote, possibly, you haven’t even read or aware of the document he signed in Abu Dhabi, the truth remains that the pope is the head of the Catholic church and whatever he stands for and signs, he did on behalf of all catholics, everyone knows the position of the pope on the issue of gays and lesbians and and the LGBTQ except you.
Kumuyi should concentrate to his denomination doctrines & decist from Catholic or Pope matters after all he is the same person that asked his members not to join their town or village meetings instruct them also to throw away their television sets to refuse site that it is evil but he was then & now preaching on television.
Do not give others the law you yourself can not keep thanks
The bible doesn’t have denomination or doctrine, what does the bible says about equal sex, is God against such act in the bible, example Sodom and Gomorrah what was the consequences?
Are you this stupid to defend this nonsense? Igbos eh. Una mumu too much
Why bringing igbos into this matter, all you reno omokris will be destroyed by your hatred for igbos
What’s your problem with IGBOS? Must every thing turn to tribal thing? This is the second time you are calling IGBOS on this, So dumb. And how do you even know that kumuyi is a better person than the catholic pope who is not even a Christian and I already see here that you are not even a Christian. I said so because a I know that a Christian doesn’t hate and doesn’t have hated to distribute, like you do.
If you are any better than those, you would have known that anyone that keeps the nine commandments and fails on one is guilty of all, so you are not qualified to accuse others of anything, try to grow up
You dey very stupid…. Wetin concern igbos witg this post
You are not wise by jumping into conclusions believing the foolish satanic blog and blaming Igbos. Have tried to make a Google search to know if the Pope said so or said the opposite. Why are you people easily deceived?
God have mercy
Igbo will kill u there. Mugu
It only will jourge
Did Pastor Kumuyi mentioned Pope’s name?? Read Bible for yourself
Hello, he condemned the evil of the negative side of the internet broadcasted on televisions not the use of televisions. And of course you know his work and ministry has grown overtime through the online ministerations showing you that it’s for the greater good. Thank you.
Your words are all senseless and irresponsible
Are you gay bro
My God, the place of correction in the church that is being laid and condemnation of sin. why then do u say such things as if jesus came to die for denomination. please desist from such words and just pray that God will keep his people from following the lies of the enemy
Kumuyi didn’t mention anyone name and didn’t also mentioned any church name
What is the position of same sex marriage in the bible, or the catholics does not make use of the Bible any longer?
What does Igbos got to do here. You’re a racist and imbecile. It is people like you that always poison people’s mind.
Watch your back
Don’tt say nonsense, you abusing a whole church
Is that what the Pope said, if he doesn’t understand what the Pope said, he should concentrate with his church
Tell us what the pope said. Or at least explain it to us
Did you hear Pastor Kumuyi comment on whatever the Pope said? Where is your evidence? Or you prefer being controlled by what the media says.
What did the pope said? Pls correct him
I heard it in Nigeria Info today from Uncle Jimmy. Please confirm if Pator Kumuyi is lying.
Nothing do you my brother
Please through pope message before you confused people
Where are you , do you listen to world news at all? The Pope said openly same sex should be engaged well the Pope has his own believe and is not everyone that attends same Church will aspects that believes
So you are not even aware of what is going on in the world when Pop Francis okay the same sex marriage please go and Google it when the pronouncement was made by him and stop calling people liars
This is not a matter of Igbo, it’s all about CHRIST.Pleace let’s be concerned about eternity, the word of God is greater than every body our God honor His word above any body. Weather u are pop or Bishop or pastor any thing u one is called, God is not a respecter of tittles. what is bad is bad, What animals doesn’t practice how can a believer imagine or think it.pls let’s very careful.
Let’s call a spade, a spade, am totally disappointed by what the Pope said, there is no coining of the word, so disappointed
Before being disappointed have you confirmed if the Pope said so or said the opposite of what the Satanic blogger said
We worship our religious leaders even more than God Almighty himself
Tell them pls
Our pastor are not the one to save us but God him self will save us
Believe in God and what is written in the bible and not man
Let us just concentrate and do what the Bible says in JESUS name
Pastor Kumuyi preaches the Bible (Truth) not any Deeper life or catholic message… Accept the truth and refrain from uncleanliness
Am sorry but you are not saying the Truth.
I saw a video of a Catholic priest trying to explain why same sex should be blessed that they are not joining them in Holy matrimony but only profering blessings. To me that’s rubbish.
The Pope said “you can bless those who are in same sex union but don’t bless the union” because everyone needs to be blessed. Would a renowned pastor like that preach rumours from Daddy Freeze and other bloggers without proper confirmation?
The original Latin statement is on every Catholic news guide and has been well translated.
He didn’t say this shit. Shut up and stop this click baiting
Wahala dey ooo , is the world come to an end? What prompted pop pop to mention this public? Hmmm so man can marry man now according to pop , is it old age? But Daddy kumuyi should have deeply explain to the world to understand what pop mean , where did pop see in the bible verses that man can marry man? Why men of God are making the jorning of Heaven tire their followers? Any way shaa only going to church can not made person heaven
God have mercy
The white people that brought the books of holi has said it, so follow
I wonder why people are surprise , about what the pope said , a church that the building is a serpet and the altar is the head of a serpet
Am not surprised because I knew it from the scriptures long ago that Roman Catholic church is the mother of all forms of harlotry practicing paganism, Judaism, Islam and Buddhism but one thing for sure God said he will destroy her the mother of harlots. Thanks to God for the scriptures is no more hinding everyone can read with the help of the Holy spirit and understand it. So whoever like should say anything of his desire I don’t care but be careful not to add or reduce what the scriptures says. We are not ignorance of the scripture so that we equally can not be ignorant of the devices and strategies of the enemies of the body of Christ Jesus. Curse is he who preach a different doctrine aside that of our Lord Jesus Christ.
It’s the issue of Television the same with what Pope has done. Apart from Bible, paganism will not support man to marry man and woman to marry woman. Morality will not support nor Islam and you are here comparing grave issue with mere doctrinal matters of not watching Television.
Oh my God
I think you’re wrong Catholic long endurse same sex marriage
Aaron you that don’t even have a tribe, you are very STUPID
According to the Bible a man shall leave his parents to join his wife and become one flesh, not to join another man.
You and pop Frances are like Pontius Plate who said that he’s hands are not in the blood of Jesus Christ, while he has the right to say, No, to the death of Christ, for pop Francis to tell the world to go ahead that he is not in agreement, but that, they should go head and marry same-sex-marriage, but that, he will not bless them, it’s against the word of God , he is like Araon who said the people who moses left with him, to go and take the ten commandment led him to allow them worship idol what he said is against the scriptures

Clergyman
He didn’t mention Pope anywhere here sir. Why are you calling him a liar when what he said had nothing to do with Pope? Maybe your conscience is blaming you sir
You don’t know what you are writing. Check it again before you come back here.
The Generation that hate true Gospel of Jesus Christ but prefer their own way. Those that love abominable practices as soldom and Gomera is doom for eternal judgement. Let’s fear God and keep his commandments. And run away from decievers that parade themselves as the angel of light in the name of Religion.
Only the Truth in the scripture shall set us free not Religion Leader like Pope.
What did the pope said? Pls correct him
