Gay Nigerian pastor, Jide Macaulay took to facebook to write a letter to homophobes this morning. Read what he wrote


Open Letter to Homophobes
Far too many people play God and dehumanize Lesbians, Gays, Bisexuals, Trans, and Intersex people throughout the world, in every culture, race, background etc.
The discrimination is so bad that it leaves many LGBTI people wondering and asking questions. This letter to Homophobes is being reproduced to answer many questions people have asked me.
Both heterosexuals and homosexual people, People of all faith have claimed that homosexuality is an abomination according to Leviticus 18:22 and cannot be condoned under any circumstance.
Dear Homophobes,
Thank you for doing so much to educate people regarding God's Law. I have learned a great deal from your bigoted rhetoric, and try to share that knowledge with as many people as I can. When someone tries to defend the homosexual lifestyle, they are clobbered with Leviticus 18:22 which clearly state it to be an abomination...End of debate.
I do need some advice from you, however, regarding some other elements of God's Laws and how to follow them.
1. Leviticus 25:44 states that I may possess slaves, both male and female, provided they are purchased from neighbouring nations. A friend of mine claims that this applies to Mexicans, but not Canadians. Can you clarify? Why can't I own Canadians?
2. I would like to sell my daughter into slavery, as sanctioned in Exodus 21:7. In this day and age, what do you think would be a fair price for her?
3. I know that I am allowed no contact with a woman while she is in her period of menstrual uncleanliness - Lev.15: 19-24. The problem is how do I tell? I have tried asking, but most women take offense.
4. When I burn a bull on the altar as a sacrifice, I know it creates a pleasing odour for the Lord - Lev.1:9. The problems are my neighbours. They claim the odour is not pleasing to them. Should I smite them?
5. I have a neighbour who insists on working on the Sabbath. Exodus 35:2. Clearly states he should be put to death. Am I morally obligated to kill him myself, or should I ask the police to do it?
6. A friend of mine feels that even though eating shellfish is an abomination - Lev. 11:10, it is a lesser abomination than homosexuality. I don't agree. Can you settle this? Are there 'degrees' of abomination?
7. Lev. 21:20 states that I may not approach the altar of God if I have a defect in my sight. I have to admit that I wear reading glasses. Does my vision have to be 20/20, or is there some wiggle-room here?
8. Most of my male friends get their hair trimmed, including the hair around their temples, even though this is expressly forbidden by Lev. 19:27. How should they die?
9. I know from Lev. 11:6-8 that touching the skin of a dead pig makes me unclean, but may I still play football if I wear gloves?
10. My uncle has a farm. He violates Lev.19:19 by planting two different crops in the same field, as does his wife by wearing garments made of two different kinds of thread (cotton/polyester blend). He also tends to curse and blaspheme a lot. Is it really necessary that we go to all the trouble of getting the whole town together to stone them? Lev.24:10-16. Couldn't we just burn them to death at a private family affair, like we do with people who sleep with their in-laws? (Lev. 20:14)
I know you have studied these things extensively and thus enjoy considerable expertise in such matters, so I am confident you can help.
Thank you again for reminding us that God's word is eternal and unchanging.

The Other Child of the living God.

So much talk and little information hia.this macauly guy sure knows his onions.while he did a good job of supporting his arguments with bible verses, we are busy moralising.guys,the only way to counter 'false religious teachings' (and I dare say, religious extremism) is to use sound religious verses and quotes to educate and counter it.Mere moralising and throwing abuses only serves to make false teachings and ideas unduely popular.its not enuff to just label Ds guy bad.prove it with bible verses and we'll all be the better for it..

I was very homophobic (hate gays ) before, but my view on the world changed when i embraced a more rational way of thinking. . . I do not condemn them for being gays, its their life and not mine they should do what makes them happy... as long as they keep it away from me.

I am a heterosexual (straight) and am sure i wouldnt want any gay to condemn me so why should i condemn them... let them live their lives..

Oga..quote the verses in the bible that clearly shows Sodom was destroyed solely because of homosexuality.

Waiting..

Where did I say homosexuality. People are focusing on that as if that is the only part of sexual immorality. They tried to gang rape male visitors. That is one inhospitality and also sexual perversion and sexual immorality.

"just as Sodom and Gomorrah and the cities around them, since they in the same way as these indulged in gross immorality and went after strange flesh, are exhibited as an example in undergoing the punishment of eternal fire."

You brought in Sodom and gomorah into the discussion .. What are you trying to score with Sodom and Gomorrah story? Aren't you trying to say homosexuality was why it was destroyed? If not..why the example?

Are you trying to say heterosexuals don't gang rape or what exactly is your point here?

Nope you brought Sodom and gomorah into the convo when you said quote a bible verse that said homosexuality was why they were destroyed.

heterosexual gang rape? Just call it what it is. Gang rape. No I am saying they were destroyed for sexual immorality. The bible doesn't discriminate on sexual immorality, people do because of the eww feeling. Zoosexual acts were also prominent in those ancient days.

Now is it a sin?

I hate homosexuality, i have beaten one guy to a pulp because he told me he liked me and wanted to date me... Jeeeez embarassed **throws up**

But its just another sexual orientation not abnormality. You and i are lucky to be born heterosexuals..

homos needs to be accepted and not discriminated against...

The truth is,
Homos turn themselves that way.
Getting attracted to same sex isn't homosexuality but sleeping with them is.
It is naturally abnormal.
I don't hate them,I hate that ACT of theirs because it is DETESTABLE to Jehovah.

I didn't ask you to tell me what you think, rather what the bible wrote as a reason for the destruction. Since homosexuality is mostly fingered as the reason.

I dont know what that person means by gang atheist, for me i am an atheist.

I just needed the religious folks to see the hypocrisy in condemning people with laws that they dont keep..
Re: Jide Macaulay, Nigerian Gay Pastor Writes Letter To Homophobes With Bible Quotes by FOREXMART(m): 7:50am On Apr 12, 2015
Religions are foreign, if Nigerians colonised the world the white man would be worshipping Ifa, Amadioha, sango, ogboni and other local deities. These foreign freeks came from the south through the ocean spreading their religion while their counterparts came from the middle east through the desert spreading their own version and look at us now, we can't even come to a simple agreement.

One thing is sure, God exists, God is universal but please don't tell me your beliefs are superior to mine. The world will be a better place if we lived our lives with varying adaptive codes and social laws rather than this cancer called religion.

Intellectually matured people will understand what I have just said, myopic bigots won't.

Even without religion sometimes they are things we (everyone)know within ourselves and one of those things is that..
Despite how much people try to make it seem normal,homosexuality is nothing less than abnormality.

Abnormality is synonymous to unacceptability. What's acceptable and what's unacceptable varies from one place to another, from one individual to another. You can't make it universal. Example eating pig meat is normal in the south but abnormal in the north. My post was simply criticising the fact that we force other people to accept our so called religious/spiritual views and when they don't condemnation follows.

You expect me to give a verse that states exactly what you want. You want to state a verse that mentions a word that was made in 19th century from a book that was compiled together in like 4 centuries. You are funny. I am not changing my words. I said they were destroyed for sexual immorality and lack of hospitality. What the men did to Lot and his visitors encompasses of those two things. That was what I said. You are trying to play the got cha game.
