The Christian body had warned that it was against Biblical principles and the culture of Ghanaians to allow LGBTQs to practice their sexuality in the country.
It also accused foreign diplomats of sponsoring the movement, while advising the country’s government to make its position on the matter known.
In a tweet on Sunday, the Ghana Presidency revealed that the president told a session of church leaders that the push for same-sex legality will not be okayed by his government.
“It will not be under the presidency of Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo that same sex marriage will be legalized in Ghana- President Akufo-Addo @ Asante Mampong on Saturday, 27th February 2021, at the installation of the 2nd Archbishop of the Anglican Church of Ghana,” it tweeted.
Recall that the United States President Joe Biden, had vowed to promote the rights of the LGBTQ across the world; using sanctions and funding of such movements, amongst others.
Homosexuality is a topic even during the first century Christians. Saint Paul discusses homosexuality to the Christian community in Rome. The darkness wants us to believe Homosexuality and Homesexual behavior is the same, and Saint Paul says the latter is a sin.
Romans 1:24-27 “Therefore God gave them over in the sinful desires of their hearts to sexual impurity for the degrading of their bodies with one another. They exchanged the truth about God for a lie, and worshiped and served created things rather than the Creator—who is forever praised. Amen.
Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural sexual relations for unnatural ones. In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed shameful acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their error.”
