Gay marriage not of God, says Anglican Bishop

Most Rev. James Olusola Odedeji, the Bishop of Diocese of Lagos West, Anglican Communion, on Thursday condemned the U.S. Supreme Court ruling that upheld same-sex marriage as a legal right,
saying ``it is not of God``.

Odedeji criticised the court ruling while ordaining some priests and deacons at the Anglican Church of Ascension, Opebi, Lagos.

He urged the Federal Government not to have anything to do with same-sex marriage as it was not scriptural.

``I have ordained some men of God for the purpose of proclamation of the gospel; they are to go out and show lights where we have darkness.
``Whoever approves gay marriage is a man of darkness or a woman of darkness; and what we are saying is that, that is barbaric, that is not scriptural; it is not of God.
``God will not allow that to happen in this country I believe that the government of this nation will not allow that to come to stay.
``So if that one is approved somewhere else, it cannot be approved here; we disassociate (ourselves from anything that has to do) with gay marriage wherever it is being institutionalised.``

CMS ANNIVERSARY: BISHOP ORJI ADMONISHES CHRISTIANS TO EVANGELIZE THE WOR...

Every member of our Diocese is a missionary in North America because God has called us to salvation and sent us to proclaim his word. This is urgent partly because our culture is no longer Christian, in fact it is openly hostile to the Christian Faith. Our goal is to tell the good news of the atoning death and resurrection of Jesus to our pagan relatives, friends, colleagues and society with gentleness and respect so that they might repent of sin, believe in Christ and be sav ed. That is the mission of our Diocese. This entails sacrifice and shame and suffering. The CMS missionaries suffered and many died to give the gospel to Africa. Let us be willing to suffer to give this gospel to our nations again. We are not here to spread our version or your version of Anglicanism as wonderful as you may think it is. Rather we are here to spread the gospel primarily and hopefully in the process teach a godly expression of Anglicanism. Since we are Anglican missionaries sent by God to evangeliz...
