Rev. Fr Raymond Tyohemba, the Assistant Parish Priest of St Patrick’s Catholic Church, Akwanga, Nassarawa State, has condemned the practice of lesbianism and homosexuality .
Tyohemba, while delivering a sermon on Sunday, also warned people against destroying the marriage institution.
According
to him, “God has instituted the institution of marriage so that a man
and a woman would come together as husband and wife, but not the other
way round.
ADVERTISING
“It
is unfortunate that today, some groups of persons have chosen to
violate what God has ordained and go about having sex with persons of
the same sex with them.
“To the extent
that some powerful nations in the world today have legalised same-sex
marriage and other immoral behaviours just in the name of granting
freedom to their citizens,” he said.
The
Cleric described the granting of permission to citizens to practice
same-sex marriage and individuals who on their own practiced it, as an
ungodly act.
He advised people who indulged in these ungodly acts to desist from them and accept God in order to avoid His wrath.
He
also attributed the alarming rate of social vices in the society to
broken homes, saying that the family was the foundation of every
society.
"So, the devil introduced lesbianism and homosexual to destroy the institutions of marriage,’’ he said.
Tyohemba,
therefore, called on parents, teachers and all stakeholders to rise up
and ensure that the practice of same-sex relationship was completely
eradicated.
