The man is a fool. Most of the chapters in the Bible is fake. Go and read Genesis and Exodus. A bunch of lies. Today if you write that shit nobody will believe but our forefathers were ignorant so they believed. Today we have sense but we don't use that sense. When it comes to Bible, we close our brains like monkeys. Look at the monkey pastor saying somebody will go to hell. Is he the almighty creator to judge? Let homosexuals live afterall it is population control. A natural way that the universe reduce over population!

DO NOT JUDGE - POPE FRANCIS WHO AM I TO JUDGE?

The peoples Pope Francis who is also the head of the Catholic Church says in his own words; "Who am I to judge Homosexuals?"

Now we have a second fiddle player Catholic bishop Osei-Bonsu making noise as to who is fit or not fit to enter Heaven. Tell this senile dementia priest that Heaven is FREE.

Let us remind this idiot once again in the 21st century that God is no respecter of persons and before God we are all the same. His priesthood does not give him s special VIP ticket to glory.

OMFG! Are Catholic priest child molesters going to hell? Catholic priest who abused children will equally rot in hell with you Osei-Bonsu in the front row for not telling your fraternity priest brothers they will also rot in hell fire. Osei-Bonsu is a demagogue in robes. What a shame!

The peoples Pope Francis in his just ended American tour lamented such priest like Osei-Bonsu at a mass "And God weep" The peoples Pope Francis is trying hard to bring all Gods children into the fold and nonentity want to undo it. Bushmen will always remain BUSH people no matter how educated they may be. They always bring their primitive traits to bear.

When Peter opens the doors of heaven OSEI-BONSU will be given prohibition of access. I will leave this fool with the following: Say unto others as you would want them to say to you.

Lets not beat around the bush and call a spade a spade , since the so called fake revolution of JJ we now have his legacy of the islamization of the country , tribal politics camouflaged by so called fake socialism , corruption fueled by the desire to undermine the Akan economy , brother hate and despise brother because of pepeni/ayigbe anti Akan agendas. Travel around the country and you will notice in every town village or hamlet a mosque and NDC banners / billboards all over the place. In some hamlets there are not even toilets , schools , clinics but yet a mosque has been placed there like a quiet insidious malignant cancer spreading all over the country through the pro Palestinian , pro Taliban politics of JJ and his ayigbe idiots, so we know why after establishing relations with Israel was Mills murdered .These same Isrealis then turn around and with their computer engineering rig the elections for the enemy all because of a few million dollars they earned. Our country has become a breeding ground for the worst kind of fanatical terrorists , our judiciary a sham , our institutions of state non functional , our economy in less than 7 years now rated junk , our oil blocks sold by pepeni/ ayigbe criminals , our industry destroyed , and them parading useless houseboys like Kofi Adams , Ahwois , PVs, Nketia etc as leaders of the Akans? We are on a roller coaster ride to political violence that will end up in ethnic war and conflict with the NDC hoping that the Fantis will join them to kill their brothers the TWI speakers but they forget war breeds new leaders and are led by intellectuals will can never allow that to happen , For centuries our fathers rejected this islam (and their desire to enslave the blackman) as though originally God's word has now become so perverse by the interpretations of the wicked Arabs and pepeni. Today we have a pepeni president who claims to be a christian but intimately remains a muslim with 17 children and 11 wives , his children have Muslim names and choose to go to be educated in Dubai as every weekend their Alajihs carry their loot there. We have a cabinet heavily lopsided in favor of Muslims northerners , ewes and other non Akans yet they ask we trust them and accept them . The few Akans they have are cowards and wimps who would sell their own mothers for glorified titles and monies but are totally corrupt incompetent empty barrels. Yes they have brought war unto our heads but its a blessing in disguise as it now gives us the opportunity to clean up this mess and form our own new country without this pepeni/ayigbe menace

I read your tribal rants and hate speech carefully. To put in a single word you are SICK.

Both Islam and Christianity are foreign to Africa although Islam came to Africa before Christianity through Arabs due to the Sahara trade routes. Timbuktu in Mali which has the oldest university in Africa is a testimony to the advent of Islam before Diogo de Azambuja and his missionaries set his foot on what he named El Mina meaning Gold mines. He built the fortress São Jorge in a record of 20 days to defend the Elmina castle. In name of Christianity they killed and later enslaved natives to work for them ; our ancestors only fault was they were too nice to the foreigners.

Nana Ansah, you talk like you are very educated man. Maybe you are abroad so your mind is open. I agree Islam and Christianity is not our culture. We have to stop following the white man and dirty Arabs and learn to think for ourselves. Even the Arab man refused the white mans religion and created his own religion. This is why Islam and the West are fighting till today. Meanwhile the black African fools just swallowed everything that the white man gave us and the Arab man. We are too shallow in the brain. White man and Arabs see us like monkeys

The stuff below is a reply to one Victor. Hope you will enjoy reading it.

Osei-Bonsu is being a mischief. The first thing a would be priest at a Catholic seminary learns is the history of Christianity and philosophy.

What Osei-Bonsu is hiding from you layman Victor is an open book in Catholic circles that there are controversies in the Bible but due to Catholic dogma and doctrines many of which are outdated; such beliefs are strongly protected by the conservatives of the Catholic Church.

Saul the man who became Paul was a pagan who never had any encounter with Jesus. That Paul was controversial person is needless to say. Bear in mind, 70% of the new Testament was single handedly written by Paul a human being like you and me. So don't ask me who the Pope is.

Christianity did not evolve in a vacuum It was Paul who made Christianity popular through his travels through Damascus in todays Syria and Ephesus in Turkey which used to be Greek territory.

Emperor Constantine of Byzantine was a pagan before he became Christian. Emperor Constantine who ask St Jerome at the age of 79 to compile the Bible in the 4th century with a team of clergy made so many mistakes in the translation of the Bible from Hebrew to Latin. For example the Romans did not have a figure to represent zero. Christmas and Easter has pagan origins. Thanks to Indian and Arab scholars today we know zero and can reckon algebra.

Look Victor, I will not lecture you here but would advice you to do some extensive reading. To start with go to the website of Vatican and delve further with British palace websites and later Louvre museum in Paris. The secrets in are in the books but the problem with us Africans, is we don't read. So we believe every nonsense. Victor, am I making sense now?

The laws of physics must apply to hell, if it exists. There are lots of hot spots were stars shine but cosmologists say that in the distant future, in a few trillion years, then everywhere will approach absolute zero (-273degreesC)due to the accelerating rate of expansion of our universe.

So physics students were set an exam question on whether hell is exothermic (heating up) or endothermic (freezing over.) Here is what the brightest student replied:

First, we must postulate that if souls exist, they must have some mass. If they do, then a mole of souls also must have a mass. So, at what rate are souls moving into hell and at what rate are souls leaving? I think we can safely assume that once a soul gets to Hell, it does not leave. Therefore, no souls are leaving.

As for souls entering Hell, let's look at the different religions that exist in the world today. Some religions say that if you are not a member of their religion, you will go to Hell. Since there are more than one of these religions, and people do not belong to more than one religion, we can project that all people and all souls go to Hell. With the birth and death rates what they are, and sexual abuse by clergy so high, we can expect the number of souls in Hell to increase exponentially. Now, we look at the rate of change in the volume of Hell. Boyle's Law states that in order for the temperature and pressure in Hell to stay the same, the ratio of the mass of the souls and volume needs to stay constant.

[Answer 1] So, if Hell is expanding at a slower rate than the rate at which souls enter Hell, then the temperature in Hell will increase until all Hell breaks loose.

[Answer 2] Of course, if Hell is expanding at a rate faster than the increase in souls in Hell, then the temperature and pressure will drop until Hell freezes over.

So which is it? If we accept the postulate (given to me by Kwame Osei during freshman year) that "it'll be a cold day in Hell before I sleep with you", and taking into account that I still have not succeeded in having sexual relations with him, then [Answer 2] cannot be correct;

...... thus, Hell is exothermic.

Conundrum for today: Was Kwame's reasoning as flawed as Rev. Osei-Bonsu? Will they both find the answer in the fullness of time?

The bitter truth is that there is no god, nor heaven, no devil, nor hell, no angels nor demons, ghosts and gods. they are all imaginations of our ignorant ancestors who lived more that 2000 years ago. Sciencetific thoery of evolution has demystified creationism and is lies of Moses' imagination of the genesis of the universe. The Big Bang theory is the most credible genesis of the universe. Don't believe the hype of faith, it has no legs to stand on, at all. Respect the rights of every human. No one has written laws in Ghana that homosexuality is a crrime. Anti-gayism is a dangerous and hateful religious philosophy which must be nibbed in the bud.Those arrogant religious bigots who assault homosexuals are wrong and must be arrested, prosecuted and incarcerated for their crimes to deter those "holier than thous" perpetrating violence in the name of baseless and false religion. We are Ghanaians, Freedom and justice is our cherished national motto.

The fact that the Bible mentions Homosexuality and Lesbians tell us that this practice has existed since mankind appeared on earth through evolution or biblical creation till today.

By the way, if we go by the Bible we were all born through incest which is abomination in itself. If in the beginning there was only Adam and Eve who gave birth to two sons Cain and Abel and eventually Cain eliminating Abel out of jelousy, where did Cain get his wife from?

In fact there are two parallel creations in Genesis chapters 1 and 2. What we are told is the Ten Commandments is summary of over 34 commandments. Just read Deuteronomy the commandments goes on and on. We have been told so many falsehood and it is up to us not to fear to enquire.

Centuries ago babies born with physical disabilities were killed. Today we know better. There not only physical disabilities but also hormone imbalance which leads to siamese twins or child birth with both organs; Virginia and penis and other abnormalities.

So for this sooth face priest Osei-Bonsu to have the nerve to display his abysmal ignorance and stupidity on the worldwide web tells us the miseducation of the black man. How do correct it?

Examine your health insurance policy
Here is a question:

If God answers medical prayers, then why do you need health insurance?
Simply think it through. If what Jesus says about prayer in the Bible is true, and if all the stories about medical miracles in inspirational literature are true, and if your belief in God and the power of prayer is true, and if God has a plan for you, then why do you ever need to visit a doctor or go to the hospital? Why don't you simply pray for a cure whenever you get sick?
The reason I ask this is because the statement that Jesus makes in Mark 11:24 is so simple:

Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours.
So is what he says in John 14:14:
If you ask anything in my name, I will do it.
There is this statement in Psalms chapter 41:
1 Blessed is he who has regard for the weak;
the Lord delivers him in times of trouble.
2 The Lord will protect him and preserve his life;
he will bless him in the land
and not surrender him to the desire of his foes.
3 The Lord will sustain him on his sickbed
and restore him from his bed of illness.
In Mark 16, Jesus talks about the laying on of hands:
16 He who believes and is baptized will be saved; but he who does not believe will be condemned. 17 And these signs will accompany those who believe: in my name they will cast out demons; they will speak in new tongues; 18 they will pick up serpents, and if they drink any deadly thing, it will not hurt them; they will lay their hands on the sick, and they will recover.
But even more remarkable is James 5:15, where the Bible says:
And the prayer offered in faith will make the sick person well; the Lord will raise him up.
These are powerful verses. Keep in mind that these are the words of an all-powerful, all-knowing, perfect God. And James 5:15 is completely unambiguous. If these words are true and perfect, it seems like a faithful person should have no need for health insurance.
What reason would a perfect God have for making false statements in the Bible? Yet, by owning health insurance, you demonstrate to yourself that something in these verses is amiss. In addition, the fact that you have health insurance indicates that you have no faith in God's Plan for you. Doesn't it? Let's look at an example.

Praying for a cure

When people are sick, they often pray to God for a cure. This is especially true in the case of profound, life-threatening illnesses and chronic diseases. We've all heard the stories of amazing cures and medical miracles that have come through prayer. For example, here is a story from a housewife in Santa Monica:

"I went to the doctor, and he told me that I had cancer of the uterus. One solution, according to my doctor, was a radical hysterectomy. But he wanted to try chemotherapy first, just in case. For me, my only goal in life was to have children, and I could not let the doctor make me sterile with a hysterectomy. That very day I got down on my knees and I prayed to God for a miracle. I read every passage of the Bible that had anything to do with healing, and I wrote them all down on index cards that I carried with me everywhere. I recited the verses, and I prayed whenever I had a spare minute -- Whether I was waiting at a stop light or for my husband to come home for dinner, I was praying and reciting those verses. And you know what? The good Lord cured me. I started on chemotherapy. At the very next visit, my doctor noticed a change. At my next visit he said, 'Let's postpone the surgery and see what happens.' A year later he could no longer detect the tumor, and he declared me cured. I knew in my heart -- it was the power of those scripture verses. God answered my prayers and cured me."
If you subscribe to Guideposts magazine you can read a new story like this just about every month. Even big city newspapers and national magazines report on these stories now.
There are two questions that we should ask based on this story:

Why did our housewife from Santa Monica need chemotherapy if God was going to cure her anyway? God is all-powerful, so his cure should be instant and free of side-effects.
On the flip side, if "God's plan" were for her to have a hysterectomy, what point is there in her praying? God's plan comes from an all-powerful being and it is going to run its course no matter what we do. What good is it to pray in such a situation?
If you think about these two questions and how they interact with each other, you will realize something important. If God exists, and if God answers prayers, and if God has a plan for each of us, then there is no point in ever visiting a doctor. Owning health insurance is a complete waste of money. The reason is easy to see: Either God will or will not answer any prayer for healing. If he does answer the prayer, there is no need for a doctor. If he does not, then God's plan is for you to be sick. Since God is omnipotent, no amount of doctoring will change the outcome of God's plan. Seeing a doctor is a waste of time.
Understanding Jesus

If you are a believer and if you have your Bible nearby, we can look at your health care policy from another angle. Turn to Matthew 6:25-34. Jesus says:

Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more important than food, and the body more important than clothes? Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life? "And why do you worry about clothes? See how the lilies of the field grow. They do not labor or spin. Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these. If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, will he not much more clothe you, O you of little faith? So do not worry, saying, 'What shall we eat?' or 'What shall we drink?' or 'What shall we wear?' For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself.
[If you would like to read a theological analysis of Jesus' statement, turn to this page.]

Jesus' statement is utterly clear: "Therefore do not worry about tomorrow." Yet health insurance is a physical manifestation of worry. You buy health insurance because you are worried about your health tomorrow.
The question to ask yourself, therefore, is simple: If you are a believer, why you need health insurance? Or, for that matter, car insurance, life insurance or home owner's insurance? Why are you worrying about your health in the future when: A) Jesus has told you specifically not to worry (Matthew 6:34), and B) Jesus has promised to cure any illness that arises (James 5:15)? In addition, why are you worrying about money, which is what health insurance is all about, when in Matthew 6:19 Jesus specifically says:

Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal; but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.
In Matthew 19:21 Jesus goes even further, telling you to sell everything and give the money to the poor. Obviously he intended for you to give up your health insurance policy and give its monthly payment to the poor as well.
And then there is Poverbs 3:5-8:

Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight. Do not be wise in your own eyes; fear the Lord and shun evil. This will bring health to your body and nourishment to your bones.
Why do you own a health insurance policy when you are supposed to be putting your trust in the Lord, who will bring health to your body?
Everything the Bible says is very clear. Why are you ignoring everything that it tells you to do?

Here is a possibility for you to consider: you are completely ignoring the Bible because, in your heart, you know that God is imaginary.

What other reason is there for you, as a believer, to ignore God so profoundly by owning health insurance?

Black man threw away his heritage and is following white man and Arab man religion like a dog. In African religion it says love your neighbour like yourself so why does black man follow Christianity and Islam that teaches people to hate. Hating anybody who don't follow the white man religion or Arab man religion! Black man has become dog of the Arab and white man.

If homosexuality and lesbianism were medical abnormality the human mind has the capacity to correct that. Even HIV/AIDS is being contained in one way or the other. Ibola now has a vaccine. Malaria has a cure. Perversion has no cure because it is a state of the mind and only the state of the mind can cure it. I pity homosexuals and lesbians because I believe in their hearts they really would like to behave as normal human beings. Why is that even animals to have same sex but human beings want to legitimize same sex?

I don't know what the Rev father means by natural. However, if he means that homosexuality does not occur in nature, I am afraid he is very wrong. I advise him, and anyone interested, to google or bing, "homosexuality in the animal kingdom", before making ignorant statements. I am not saying we should behave like animals, but it is another thing to say there is no homosexuality in nature. Western science tried to hide that for a long time, but not today with Internet and all. Maybe we should start thinking of treatments for the wild animals, too.

Why would anyone choose to be homosexual in the face of the atrocities committed against homosexuals!!

Kojo it is never true that people were born as homosexual. What they did was to turn a clever, good and strategic PR campaign which was multi pronged. They were able to do this because they were and are still the rich and powerful in society. If they were the black community, they wouldn't have such influence. Blacks in America have gained some success but not at this level because they are not elite, rich and powerful.
These guys targeted the influential institutions like the American Psychological Association which speaks and everyone follows. Over the years, they lobbied to get unto the executive committees and corrupted those who were not members and there was a positive consensus towards homosexuality. The WHO had to follow suit. Those who disagreed were coerced to tow the line and out of fear of losing juicy positions, they compromised. This is the scientific proof they allude to. Many scientists who were against this have never found work again. They also lobbied into the media and those in the media who were against this lost their jobs the evidence is there. Musicians and producers in particular the black ones were continuously interviewed on this issue and those who did not tow the line did not get contracts with producers. Part of the strategy was based on fear of losing livelihood. Obama has opposed this before but the pressure put on him by Joe Biden and co made him tow the line.
Their next move is to conquer Russia and then move full on to Africa, then finally to the Arab countries.
Do you know homosexuals are campaigning against plural relationships or what we call polygamy? Your guess is as good as mine as to why they are against it. If the STI rate amongst homosexuals was the same as plural relationships, hell would have broken lose.
Please research into this and you will find the truth.

Dear KOJO,
I believe in discourse with civility so if you read my posts on social and legal issues, I can wholeheartedly say that they are without insults. I commend you also.
I understand your point and agree with you that as a country, we have bigger issues to consider. However my contention is that we should behave as a sovereign nation. We as a people abhor such practices and we should resist any attempt of other cultures and traditions to diluting our culture and either influencing, imposing or coercing us to compromise on our beliefs no matter how unacceptable it is to others. If we want to change, let it be us not from a foreign perspective.
My brother, I have lived in the UK for over a decade and I know that they hold dear to their ways no matter how it is even if it is unacceptable to the rest of the world and they even encourage it. Don't get me wrong, some of our ways are not something we should encourage but our independence of thought is what I mean. It looks like anything they bring, we accept it hook line and sinker. Any culture which behaves this way will be subservient to the other
Believe me they are bringing more as bestiality and incest is festering in the European and North American societies and if we continue to accept anything we can not achieve the heights we want to attain.
That is my view.

Tell me something new, Rev. Osei-Bonsu; the Christian Bible you use like your personal sword makes it clear there are no preferred sins so keep dreaming hell is reserved for homosexuals but a sinful heterosexual population, including leaders of modern day churches will be exempt from God's wrath.

The sinful world we live in was not created by homosexuals and or because society tolerates homosexuals; we got where we are today because of the lies and hypocrisy that enables even church leaders to hind behind the church and bible even as they steal, fornicate, commit adultery, cheat and practice politics of tribal preferences.

Where were you and others in the Christian churches when Kufour could give away national land, become rich while people die in Ghana and or sit on his throne even while his handpicked administrators spend an estimated US$50 million - US$100 million on Ghana@50 in a nation where toilets are a luxury and thus using our beaches for dumping fecal matter is the norm? How about Rawlings who in implicated in killings, mistreated citizens and would exempt him and his bandits from prosecution because of dummies running our parliament? The coming of the Lord, if it does come, is not going favor anyone; not heterosexuals or homosexuals, he is coming after all our sins Rev. Osei-Bonsu.

Believe in the work of Christ and you will be prevented from sinning thus giving you the assurance to enter the Gates of Heaven.Is it easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for someone who is rich to enter the kingdom of God."?

Three friends -- two straight guys and a gay guy -- and their significant others were on a cruise. A tidal wave came up and swamped the ship; they all drowned, and next thing you know, they're standing before St. Peter.

First came one of the straight guys and his wife. St. Peter shook his head sadly. "I can't let you in. You loved money too much. You loved it so much, you even married a woman named Penny."

Then came the second straight guy. "Sorry, can't let you in, either. You loved food too much. You loved to eat so much, you even married a woman named Candy!"

The gay guy turned to his boyfriend and whispered nervously, "It doesn't look good, Dick."

Africans will always run from the truth in all aspect of life. We run the truth politically, at church, in relationships, developmentally, to the extent of selling fack and poisonous medicines ourselves. Infact about 98% of africans are very wicked. we will continue to be poor and battling ourselves if we don't turn to the Almighty properly and listen to good advise because wisdom are prosperity, happiness and love, long life and healing, protection and security are all in the Bible.

Osei-Bonsu is being a mischief. The first thing a would be priest at a Catholic seminary learns is the history of Christianity and philosophy.

What Osei-Bonsu is hiding from you layman Victor is an open book in Catholic circles that there are controversies in the Bible but due to Catholic dogma and doctrines many of which are outdated; such beliefs are strongly protected by the conservatives of the Catholic Church.

Saul the man who became Paul was a pagan who never had any encounter with Jesus. That Paul was controversial person is needless to say. Bear in mind, 70% of the new Testament was single handedly written by Paul a human being like you and me. So don't ask me who the Pope is.

Christianity did not evolve in a vacuum It was Paul who made Christianity popular through his travels through Damascus in todays Syria and Ephesus in Turkey which used to be Greek territory.

Emperor Constantine of Byzantine was a pagan before he became Christian. Emperor Constantine who ask St Jerome at the age of 79 to compile the Bible in the 4th century with a team of clergy made so many mistakes in the translation of the Bible from Hebrew to Latin. For example the Romans did not have a figure to represent zero. Christmas and Easter has pagan origins. Thanks to Indian and Arab scholars today we know zero and can reckon algebra.

Look Victor, I will not lecture you here but would advice you to do some extensive reading. To start with go to the website of Vatican and delve further with British palace websites and later Louvre museum in Paris. The secrets in are in the books but the problem with us Africans, is we don't read. So we believe every nonsense. Am I making sense now?

The USA had such conversation for decades and now, finally, homosexuality is not a criminal behaviour in the USA.

Much of the conversation in the USA was characterized by similar language and hyperbole

Nobody is going to Hell or Heaven, including Catholic priests who sexually abuse little boys!

And, always remember that the Jewish History Book called the Bible by Christians, was written by men and women, some of doubtful character and pedigree.

I will NOT lose any sleep over the claims by Bishop Osei Bonsu. Worse was said in the USA about homosexuality. It is now legal; and the world is still round!!

Personally, I find there act of same-sex sex a bit disturbing but whom am I to tell someone he or she is going to hell without taking a look at my own sins as a human being?

Let s/he who has no sin cast the 1st stone.

We preach about how people who Drink, Smoke, or Womanisers are hell-bound but don't see any thing wrong with the ones who cheats on society, takes bribes and do injustice to society, steals from the poor, or enriches him/herself at the expense of society.

In a publication on Ghanaweb that cites an interview that I granted to Starr 103.5 FM on 28 September 2015, I am supposed to have said that “homosexuals will go to hell”. I will be most grateful if the radio station can play the interview and get my exact words. I never used those words. In the interview I only cited passages in the Bible that condemn homosexuality. I did not add that homosexuals will go to hell. It is only God who judges human beings and it is only he who can determine who is going to hell. My position on homosexuality is the same as that of the Catholic Church which I give below:

“The Position of the Catholic Church on Homosexuality”

What is Homosexuality?

Homosexuality refers to relations between men or between women who experience an exclusive or predominant sexual attraction as persons of the same sex. A distinction is made in contemporary science and ethical literature between homosexual tendencies of an occasional or temporary nature, which might exist in an otherwise heterosexual person, and the deeply ingrained and substantially irreversible orientation of a homosexual person.

The Catholic Church and Homosexuality

Homosexual behavior has consistently been declared immoral by the Roman Catholic Church on the basis of certain passages in the Bible and a moral tradition supported by natural law reasoning. The most recent Church teaching affirms that homosexual behaviour is always objectively disordered, and as a result never morally acceptable. Since the Church’s teaching on homosexuality is based in part on the Bible, we should start by looking at the biblical evidence.

The Bible and Homosexuality

What is the position of the Bible on homosexuality? In the Old Testament, it was seen as a perversion and a pagan abomination. In Lev. 18:22 we read, “You shall not lie with a male as with a woman; it is an abomination”. Similarly, in Lev. 20:13 we read, “If a man lies with a male as with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination; they shall be put to death, their blood is upon them”. Another passage dealing with homosexuality is Gen 19:1-28. The men in the sinful city of Sodom are depicted as threatening homosexual rape on the two (male) visitors given hospitality by Lot.

The Gospels report no teaching whatever of Jesus on the subject of homosexuality. When sending his disciples to preach the kingdom, he does refer to Sodom, but his focus is on Sodom’s failure of hospitality.

Most of the references to homosexuality in the New Testament occur in the letters of Paul. In Rom 1:24-27 Paul argues that pagans, even without the biblical revelation, ought to have honoured the true God but they turned instead to idolatry. As a consequence of this primary disorder, God gave them over to sexual disorder as well, both women and men exchanging natural relations for unnatural ones. He says, “For this reason God gave them up to dishonourable passions. Their women exchanged natural relations for unnatural, and the men likewise gave up natural relations with women and were consumed with passion for one another, men committing shameless acts with men and receiving in their own persons the due penalty for their error” (Rom. 1:26-27). This passage (Rom 1:26) is the only biblical text that addresses the particular issue of homosexual behaviour between consenting females. Rom. 1:27 is the clearest statement in the New Testament regarding the issue of homosexual behaviour between consenting adult males. Some interpreters suggest that Paul has in mind here sexual relations between men and boys (pederasty); however, Paul’s indictment seems to include all kinds of homosexual practice, female as well as male, and was not directed against one kind of homosexual practice in distinction from another.

Paul also includes in a list of vices to be avoided two activities which have been taken to refer to homosexual acts. In 1 Cor. 6:9-10; 1 Tim. 1:10 Paul speaks of homosexuality. These two verses may be discussed together. In 1 Cor. 6:9-10 Paul says, “Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived; neither the immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor sexual perverts nor thieves, nor the greedy, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor robbers will inherit the kingdom of God”. In 1 Tim. 1:10 Paul speaks of “immoral persons, sodomites, kidnapers, liars, perjurers, and whatever else is contrary to sound doctrine”. The terms “sexual perverts” and “sodomites” in the two passages translate the same Greek word (arsenokoi) and denote homosexuality.

However, it needs to be added that Paul does not single out same-sex intercourse as specially perverted or monstrous. He lists it alongside theft, drunkenness and perjury, as well as adultery and murder. It is nevertheless a safe conclusion that, whatever might be said about individual orientations or dispositions, Paul could only have regarded all homosexual erotic and genital behaviour as contrary to the Creator’s plan for human life, to be abandoned on conversion (cf. 1 Cor. 6:11).

These passages in Scripture condemning homosexual acts found support in natural law reasoning. Since sexual activity was seen to be ordered to procreation and the continuance of the human race, any form of sexual activity other than heterosexual intercourse was judged to be against nature and a clear violation of right reason. This teaching constituted the unchallenged tradition of the Church until modern times.

The Church’s Teaching on Homosexuality

The Catholic Church has addressed the issue of homosexuality in a number of documents including the following: On the Pastoral Care of Homosexual Persons (October 1, 1986, Sacred Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith); Catechism of the Catholic Church, par. 2357; Declaration on Certain Questions Concerning Sexual Ethics, Persona Humana (December 29, 1975, Sacred Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith); Non-Discrimination Against Homosexual Persons (May 30, 1992, Sacred Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith); Truth and Meaning of Human Sexuality (December 8, 1995, Pontifical Council for the Family); Instruction Concerning the Criteria for the Discernment of Vocations with regard to Persons with Homosexual Tendencies in view of their Admission to the Seminary and to Holy Orders (November 4, 2005, the Congregation for Catholic Education).

The Church’s teaching on homosexuality can be summarized as follows:

(1) The practice of homosexuality goes against the teaching of the Bible. From the Church’s point of view, the basis for understanding the entire discussion of homosexuality is the theology of creation as found in Genesis. God creates mankind, male and female, in his own image and likeness. The male and female sexes complement each other, and men and women are called to reflect the inner unity of the Creator. They do this in a striking way in their cooperation with him in the transmission of life by a mutual giving of the self to the other. To choose someone of the same sex for one’s sexual activity is to annul the rich symbolism and meaning, not to mention the goals, of God’s sexual design. Homosexual activity is not a complementary union, able to transmit life, and so it thwarts the call to a life of that form of self-giving which the Gospel says is the essence of Christian living. For this reason, the Church sees the practice of homosexuality as something condemned by the Scriptures and cites in its documents the biblical passages mentioned above that condemn homosexuality.

(2) The Church makes a distinction between “the homosexual condition or tendency” and “individual homosexual actions”. For the Church, the latter is “intrinsically disordered” and is “in no case to be approved of”. In other words, while the Church does not condemn people for being homosexuals or for having “the homosexual condition or tendency”, it condemns the homosexual acts that homosexuals perform.

(3) Although the particular inclination of the homosexual person is not a sin, it is a more or less strong tendency ordered towards an intrinsic moral evil, and thus the inclination itself must be seen as an objective disorder.

(4) The Church rejects the unfounded and demeaning assumption that the sexual behaviour of homosexual persons is always and totally compulsive and therefore they should not be blamed for their homosexual acts.

(5) As far as candidates for the priesthood are concerned, the Church is emphatic that those who practise homosexuality or exhibit deep-seated homosexual tendencies or support the so-called “gay culture” should not be allowed to become priests. This teaching is contained in a document issued on 4 November 2005 by the Congregation for Catholic Education entitled Instruction Concerning the Criteria for the Discernment of Vocations with regard to Persons with Homosexual Tendencies in view of their Admission to the Seminary and to Holy Orders. The document limits itself to the specific question of whether the Catholic Church can “admit to the seminary and to holy orders candidates who have deep-seated homosexual tendencies”. It reiterates the distinction made above between homosexual acts and homosexual tendencies. It says that homosexual acts are “intrinsically immoral and contrary to the natural law”. It says further that deep-seated homosexual tendencies, which are found in a number of men and women, are also “objectively disordered”. It adds that while profoundly respecting homosexuals, the Church “cannot admit to the seminary or to holy orders those who practise homosexuality, present deep-seated homosexual tendencies or support the so-called ‘gay culture’”. It adds, “Such persons, in fact, find themselves in a situation that gravely hinders them from relating correctly to men and women. One must in no way overlook the negative consequences that can derive from the ordination of persons with deep-seated homosexual tendencies”.

(6) Even though the Church strongly condemns homosexual acts (whether performed by lay people or by the clergy), it insists that the rights of homosexuals as persons should be respected. Homosexuals are also human beings, created in the image of God, just like heterosexuals, and they should enjoy the fundamental human rights that all people enjoy. What are these human rights? By human rights we mean the universal, inviolable and inalienable rights that are due to the human person as a rational being possessing a free will. As Jacques Maritain, the French political philosopher, has put it, “the human person has rights by the very fact that he is a person”. Again, says Maritain, “some things are due to man by the very fact that he is man”. Human rights protect, or are intended to protect, the dignity of the human person against State and Society. Specific human rights include the right to life, personal liberty and due process of law; to freedom of thought, expression, religion, organization, and movement; to freedom from discrimination on the basis of race, religion, age, language, and sex; to basic education; to employment; and to property.

In the light of the foregoing, it is not right to subject homosexuals to beating or other forms of harassment simply because they are homosexuals. Neither should they be the object of violent malice in speech or in action. The intrinsic dignity of each person must always be respected in word, in action and in law. Homosexuals must be accepted with respect, compassion and sensitivity. Every sign of unjust discrimination in their regard should be avoided.

However, according to the Church’s understanding of human rights, the rights of homosexuals as persons do not include the right of a man to marry a man or of a woman to marry a woman. For the Church, this is morally wrong and goes against God’s purpose for marriage.

In a publication on Ghanaweb that cites an interview that I granted to Starr 103.5 FM on 28 September 2015, I am supposed to have said that “homosexuals will go to hell”. I will be most grateful if the radio station can play the interview and get my exact words. I never used those words. In the interview I only cited passages in the Bible that condemn homosexuality. I did not add that homosexuals will go to hell. It is only God who judges human beings and it is only he who can determine who is going to hell. My position on homosexuality is the same as that of the Catholic Church which I give below:

“The Position of the Catholic Church on Homosexuality”

What is Homosexuality?

Homosexuality refers to relations between men or between women who experience an exclusive or predominant sexual attraction as persons of the same sex. A distinction is made in contemporary science and ethical literature between homosexual tendencies of an occasional or temporary nature, which might exist in an otherwise heterosexual person, and the deeply ingrained and substantially irreversible orientation of a homosexual person.

The Catholic Church and Homosexuality

Homosexual behavior has consistently been declared immoral by the Roman Catholic Church on the basis of certain passages in the Bible and a moral tradition supported by natural law reasoning. The most recent Church teaching affirms that homosexual behaviour is always objectively disordered, and as a result never morally acceptable. Since the Church’s teaching on homosexuality is based in part on the Bible, we should start by looking at the biblical evidence.

The Bible and Homosexuality

What is the position of the Bible on homosexuality? In the Old Testament, it was seen as a perversion and a pagan abomination. In Lev. 18:22 we read, “You shall not lie with a male as with a woman; it is an abomination”. Similarly, in Lev. 20:13 we read, “If a man lies with a male as with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination; they shall be put to death, their blood is upon them”. Another passage dealing with homosexuality is Gen 19:1-28. The men in the sinful city of Sodom are depicted as threatening homosexual rape on the two (male) visitors given hospitality by Lot.

The Gospels report no teaching whatever of Jesus on the subject of homosexuality. When sending his disciples to preach the kingdom, he does refer to Sodom, but his focus is on Sodom’s failure of hospitality.

Most of the references to homosexuality in the New Testament occur in the letters of Paul. In Rom 1:24-27 Paul argues that pagans, even without the biblical revelation, ought to have honoured the true God but they turned instead to idolatry. As a consequence of this primary disorder, God gave them over to sexual disorder as well, both women and men exchanging natural relations for unnatural ones. He says, “For this reason God gave them up to dishonourable passions. Their women exchanged natural relations for unnatural, and the men likewise gave up natural relations with women and were consumed with passion for one another, men committing shameless acts with men and receiving in their own persons the due penalty for their error” (Rom. 1:26-27). This passage (Rom 1:26) is the only biblical text that addresses the particular issue of homosexual behaviour between consenting females. Rom. 1:27 is the clearest statement in the New Testament regarding the issue of homosexual behaviour between consenting adult males. Some interpreters suggest that Paul has in mind here sexual relations between men and boys (pederasty); however, Paul’s indictment seems to include all kinds of homosexual practice, female as well as male, and was not directed against one kind of homosexual practice in distinction from another.

Paul also includes in a list of vices to be avoided two activities which have been taken to refer to homosexual acts. In 1 Cor. 6:9-10; 1 Tim. 1:10 Paul speaks of homosexuality. These two verses may be discussed together. In 1 Cor. 6:9-10 Paul says, “Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived; neither the immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor sexual perverts nor thieves, nor the greedy, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor robbers will inherit the kingdom of God”. In 1 Tim. 1:10 Paul speaks of “immoral persons, sodomites, kidnapers, liars, perjurers, and whatever else is contrary to sound doctrine”. The terms “sexual perverts” and “sodomites” in the two passages translate the same Greek word (arsenokoi) and denote homosexuality.

However, it needs to be added that Paul does not single out same-sex intercourse as specially perverted or monstrous. He lists it alongside theft, drunkenness and perjury, as well as adultery and murder. It is nevertheless a safe conclusion that, whatever might be said about individual orientations or dispositions, Paul could only have regarded all homosexual erotic and genital behaviour as contrary to the Creator’s plan for human life, to be abandoned on conversion (cf. 1 Cor. 6:11).

These passages in Scripture condemning homosexual acts found support in natural law reasoning. Since sexual activity was seen to be ordered to procreation and the continuance of the human race, any form of sexual activity other than heterosexual intercourse was judged to be against nature and a clear violation of right reason. This teaching constituted the unchallenged tradition of the Church until modern times.

The Church’s Teaching on Homosexuality

The Catholic Church has addressed the issue of homosexuality in a number of documents including the following: On the Pastoral Care of Homosexual Persons (October 1, 1986, Sacred Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith); Catechism of the Catholic Church, par. 2357; Declaration on Certain Questions Concerning Sexual Ethics, Persona Humana (December 29, 1975, Sacred Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith); Non-Discrimination Against Homosexual Persons (May 30, 1992, Sacred Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith); Truth and Meaning of Human Sexuality (December 8, 1995, Pontifical Council for the Family); Instruction Concerning the Criteria for the Discernment of Vocations with regard to Persons with Homosexual Tendencies in view of their Admission to the Seminary and to Holy Orders (November 4, 2005, the Congregation for Catholic Education).

The Church’s teaching on homosexuality can be summarized as follows:

(1) The practice of homosexuality goes against the teaching of the Bible. From the Church’s point of view, the basis for understanding the entire discussion of homosexuality is the theology of creation as found in Genesis. God creates mankind, male and female, in his own image and likeness. The male and female sexes complement each other, and men and women are called to reflect the inner unity of the Creator. They do this in a striking way in their cooperation with him in the transmission of life by a mutual giving of the self to the other. To choose someone of the same sex for one’s sexual activity is to annul the rich symbolism and meaning, not to mention the goals, of God’s sexual design. Homosexual activity is not a complementary union, able to transmit life, and so it thwarts the call to a life of that form of self-giving which the Gospel says is the essence of Christian living. For this reason, the Church sees the practice of homosexuality as something condemned by the Scriptures and cites in its documents the biblical passages mentioned above that condemn homosexuality.

(2) The Church makes a distinction between “the homosexual condition or tendency” and “individual homosexual actions”. For the Church, the latter is “intrinsically disordered” and is “in no case to be approved of”. In other words, while the Church does not condemn people for being homosexuals or for having “the homosexual condition or tendency”, it condemns the homosexual acts that homosexuals perform.

(3) Although the particular inclination of the homosexual person is not a sin, it is a more or less strong tendency ordered towards an intrinsic moral evil, and thus the inclination itself must be seen as an objective disorder.

(4) The Church rejects the unfounded and demeaning assumption that the sexual behaviour of homosexual persons is always and totally compulsive and therefore they should not be blamed for their homosexual acts.

(5) As far as candidates for the priesthood are concerned, the Church is emphatic that those who practise homosexuality or exhibit deep-seated homosexual tendencies or support the so-called “gay culture” should not be allowed to become priests. This teaching is contained in a document issued on 4 November 2005 by the Congregation for Catholic Education entitled Instruction Concerning the Criteria for the Discernment of Vocations with regard to Persons with Homosexual Tendencies in view of their Admission to the Seminary and to Holy Orders. The document limits itself to the specific question of whether the Catholic Church can “admit to the seminary and to holy orders candidates who have deep-seated homosexual tendencies”. It reiterates the distinction made above between homosexual acts and homosexual tendencies. It says that homosexual acts are “intrinsically immoral and contrary to the natural law”. It says further that deep-seated homosexual tendencies, which are found in a number of men and women, are also “objectively disordered”. It adds that while profoundly respecting homosexuals, the Church “cannot admit to the seminary or to holy orders those who practise homosexuality, present deep-seated homosexual tendencies or support the so-called ‘gay culture’”. It adds, “Such persons, in fact, find themselves in a situation that gravely hinders them from relating correctly to men and women. One must in no way overlook the negative consequences that can derive from the ordination of persons with deep-seated homosexual tendencies”.

(6) Even though the Church strongly condemns homosexual acts (whether performed by lay people or by the clergy), it insists that the rights of homosexuals as persons should be respected. Homosexuals are also human beings, created in the image of God, just like heterosexuals, and they should enjoy the fundamental human rights that all people enjoy. What are these human rights? By human rights we mean the universal, inviolable and inalienable rights that are due to the human person as a rational being possessing a free will. As Jacques Maritain, the French political philosopher, has put it, “the human person has rights by the very fact that he is a person”. Again, says Maritain, “some things are due to man by the very fact that he is man”. Human rights protect, or are intended to protect, the dignity of the human person against State and Society. Specific human rights include the right to life, personal liberty and due process of law; to freedom of thought, expression, religion, organization, and movement; to freedom from discrimination on the basis of race, religion, age, language, and sex; to basic education; to employment; and to property.

In the light of the foregoing, it is not right to subject homosexuals to beating or other forms of harassment simply because they are homosexuals. Neither should they be the object of violent malice in speech or in action. The intrinsic dignity of each person must always be respected in word, in action and in law. Homosexuals must be accepted with respect, compassion and sensitivity. Every sign of unjust discrimination in their regard should be avoided.

However, according to the Church’s understanding of human rights, the rights of homosexuals as persons do not include the right of a man to marry a man or of a woman to marry a woman. For the Church, this is morally wrong and goes against God’s purpose for marriage.

The Catholic church does not give God credit for creation of a beautiful world that includes such a diversity not only of races, talents but also of a range of sexuality.

The facts of nature are well documented by scientific observation. Why would God support same sex unions? Well if everyone had children the world would face catastrophic challenges due to over population. Insufficient food, global warming, plagues and wars. How wrong to talk of God's plan for marriage when God's creation includes GLBT people and their important role in making the world a heaven on Earth.

The Catholic message goes against God's laws of nature and puts the world on a catastrophic disaster due to their refusal to see the way nature works when God's laws are broken. A new holy book is urgently needed to provide insight on what needs to be done to obey God's laws of nature as revealed by science.

This is the only way that the world will avoid human extinction. The idea of men and women to breed like there is no tomorrow is a message that will end in the end of the human race.

Forgive them God for the little that they know. God's design is diversity and the wise minds know that, embrace that truth and try to bring our environment into sustainability for future generations.

Its only the fool who says therer is no God. But God shows his anger from heaven against all sinful, wicked people who suppress the truth by their wickedness.They know the truth about God because he has made it obvious to them.For ever since the world was created, people have seen the earth and sky. Through everything God made, they can clearly see his invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature. So they have no excuse for not knowing God.

Yes, they knew God, but they wouldn’t worship him as God or even give him thanks. And they began to think up foolish ideas of what God was like. As a result, their minds became dark and confused. Claiming to be wise, they instead became utter fools.

(2) The Church makes a distinction between “the homosexual condition or tendency” and “individual homosexual actions”. For the Church, the latter is “intrinsically disordered” and is “in no case to be approved of”. In other words, while the Church does not condemn people for being homosexuals or for having “the homosexual condition or tendency”, it condemns the homosexual acts that homosexuals perform.

(3) Although the particular inclination of the homosexual person is not a sin, it is a more or less strong tendency ordered towards an intrinsic moral evil, and thus the inclination itself must be seen as an objective disorder.

(4) The Church rejects the unfounded and demeaning assumption that the sexual behaviour of homosexual persons is always and totally compulsive and therefore they should not be blamed for their homosexual acts.

(5) As far as candidates for the priesthood are concerned, the Church is emphatic that those who practise homosexuality or exhibit deep-seated homosexual tendencies or support the so-called “gay culture” should not be allowed to become priests. This teaching is contained in a document issued on 4 November 2005 by the Congregation for Catholic Education entitled Instruction Concerning the Criteria for the Discernment of Vocations with regard to Persons with Homosexual Tendencies in view of their Admission to the Seminary and to Holy Orders. The document limits itself to the specific question of whether the Catholic Church can “admit to the seminary and to holy orders candidates who have deep-seated homosexual tendencies”. It reiterates the distinction made above between homosexual acts and homosexual tendencies. It says that homosexual acts are “intrinsically immoral and contrary to the natural law”. It says further that deep-seated homosexual tendencies, which are found in a number of men and women, are also “objectively disordered”. It adds that while profoundly respecting homosexuals, the Church “cannot admit to the seminary or to holy orders those who practise homosexuality, present deep-seated homosexual tendencies or support the so-called ‘gay culture’”. It adds, “Such persons, in fact, find themselves in a situation that gravely hinders them from relating correctly to men and women. One must in no way overlook the negative consequences that can derive from the ordination of persons with deep-seated homosexual tendencies”.

(6) Even though the Church strongly condemns homosexual acts (whether performed by lay people or by the clergy), it insists that the rights of homosexuals as persons should be respected. Homosexuals are also human beings, created in the image of God, just like heterosexuals, and they should enjoy the fundamental human rights that all people enjoy. What are these human rights? By human rights we mean the universal, inviolable and inalienable rights that are due to the human person as a rational being possessing a free will. As Jacques Maritain, the French political philosopher, has put it, “the human person has rights by the very fact that he is a person”. Again, says Maritain, “some things are due to man by the very fact that he is man”. Human rights protect, or are intended to protect, the dignity of the human person against State and Society. Specific human rights include the right to life, personal liberty and due process of law; to freedom of thought, expression, religion, organization, and movement; to freedom from discrimination on the basis of race, religion, age, language, and sex; to basic education; to employment; and to property.

In the light of the foregoing, it is not right to subject homosexuals to beating or other forms of harassment simply because they are homosexuals. Neither should they be the object of violent malice in speech or in action. The intrinsic dignity of each person must always be respected in word, in action and in law. Homosexuals must be accepted with respect, compassion and sensitivity. Every sign of unjust discrimination in their regard should be avoided.

However, according to the Church’s understanding of human rights, the rights of homosexuals as persons do not include the right of a man to marry a man or of a woman to marry a woman. For the Church, this is morally wrong and goes against God’s purpose for marriage.
