Prelate Commends Jonathan Over Same s*x Marriage Prohibition Law
The Prelate and Moderator of the General Assembly of The Presbyterian Church of Nigeria, Most Rev. Emele Uka has commended President Goodluck Jonathan for taking the bold step aimed at reforming the society along godly ethics, by signing the law prohibiting same s*x marriage.
In a statement in Calabar, Cross River State, Uka described as unacceptable, the increasing global incidence of ungodly homosexual relations and the legal adoption of same-s*x marriages.
“There are over 600, 000 same s*x families in the US with about 115, 000 of them raising children who shall eventually become homosexuals,” he said.
“Homosexuality as one of the greatest human deviant behaviours has been with man from earliest times. Man has fought it for a long time but it refuses to die. For instance, about 40 years ago, homosexuality was listed as a mental disorder by the American Psychiatric Association. Today, it is considered a normal s*xual behaviour and a human rights issue.

The Prelate charged President Jonathan to remain focused and not to be intimidated by the opposition of the western world to his assent to the bill.
On steps to address the issue of homosexuality, Most Rev. Uka said that the way forward is to follow the biblical panacea of seeking the Lord while He may be found, fleeing from sin and confessing to attract God’s forgiveness.
“Thank God there is hope, a cure for the sins of homosexuality, lesbianism, inc*st, r*pe and adultery. We should note that these mentioned perverse s*xual lifestyles attract God’s punishment. For such, God warns that hell, not heaven is the final destination. And how is God’s cure received? In exactly the same way as other types of sinners receive forgiveness through confession and repentance.”
The Prelate admonished that, “as modern man wallows in his rottenness and extreme carnality, as they become far removed from the divine and the glorious, as they begin to ravage the world and seek to exterminate it, let us do our best to resist the devil and he will flee from us.”
