UK-based Nigerian gay pastor says the biblical David was gay and Ruth was a lesbian


In a post on his page, he wrote: “The Holy Bible tells me DAVID IS GAY & RUTH IS A LESBIAN, If this makes you mad, you need to wake up. Being gay is not a criteria for heaven neither is heterosexual, Jesus said love God and your neighbour as yourself.

Queering the bible is not a new thing, there is black theology associated with empowering black people who were once a subject of brutal interpretation and oppression. Slavery was a construction of religious interpretations and for Queer Theology we must look holistically at the text that speak or remotely represents.
Women were once victims of the theology of inequality and then Feminist theology was developed. We must offer liberation and inclusion in its fullness. David and Jonathan are Gays, Ruth and Naomi are lesbians, if we are to interpret using modern languages to describe the behaviours, accounts and evidences in the bible.
Harriet Tubman said, “I freed a thousand slaves, I could have freed an additional thousand slaves only if they knew they were slaves”. Not many LGBT people of faith will accept this queering of the bible because they don’t want to believe they too had a very special place in biblical history.”

  3. People like Jide Macaulay always dilute the word of God to suit their own taste in order to satisfy their sexual perversion and continue to apply what suits their immoral ways.

    Firstly, I refer to the Book of John, chapter 1 v 1: IN THE BEGINNING WAS THE WORD, AND THE WORD WAS WITH GOD AND THE WORD WAS GOD.
    So howbeit that you try to subvert the ordinances of God.
    If Mr. Jide has a copies of the bible, he should refer to Book of Leviticus 18 vs 22 that warns against homosexuality and lesbianism. See the word of God, is direct and apt, you can add to it. You can only extract from it and apply to real life situation.

    Another instance , before I go. You so much support homosexuality and indeed shove asides some sections of the bible you dont like but apply your own perveted version of biblical constitution concerning marriage which simply means you read Genesis 2 vs 24 clearly but failed to obey God whom you claim to respect.

    It is very clear that you are not following the statutes or precepts of God as instructed and you will keep on misleading innocent souls to the way of perdition.

    The word of God is final and if you can not obey it then don't pervert it.

    No wonder the Word of God clearly points our your type in the scriptures and that was mentioned years before your birth so this tells you God (the Word) is the same yesterday, today and forever more. Check Hebrews 13v8
