The Bishop of Minna Diocese (Anglican Communion), Rev. Daniel Yisa,
has condemned the ruling of the U.S. Supreme Court that upheld same-sex
marriage as a legal right, describing it as ‘‘Satan’s agenda and not of
God.’’
“Same sex-marriage is not our portion as a people and whoever wants
to do that in his country should not quote the Bible as a reference
point,” Yisa said.
The cleric spoke after the centenary thanksgiving service to mark the
100 years of St. Peter’s Anglican Cathedral Church in Minna on Sunday.
He argued that gay was not Biblical or an African practice.
He said, “If God hates it, we all must hate it”, while admonishing
Nigerians not to be deterred but hold on to the gospel truth about such
trends.
Yisa said, “The issue is that, as a nation, Nigerians keep calling on
God without meeting God’s conditions because there are certain things
we are not supposed to do and there are also those things we are
expected to do if we have to remain God’s people”.
