TB Joshua On Gay Marriage

As news of the controversial Nigerian law banning same-sex marriages continue to make headlines worldwide, renowned Prophet T.B. Joshua, head pastor of the Synagogue Church Of All Nations has also added his voice. Through a new initiative on his ministries official Facebook page in which the Man of God responds to questions from fans in an interactive session, he addressed the much debated issue after a fan posted a question. The question was: "T.B. Joshua, what do you have to say about same sex marriage � I mean, gays and lesbians?" In his response, he said: �Judge not, so that you will not be judged,� Joshua began, citing Matthew 7:1 for Scriptural backing. �We should talk to people to be saved and not to die. I mean, we should talk salvation, not condemnation. The Bible is my standard,� He further indicated: �If my parents were one, I would not have been given birth to,� he proceeded poignantly. �Those that are asking this question � if your parents were one, you would not have been given birth to. You that are reading me � if your parents were one, you would not be reading this today. God bless the reader and the hearer.�
