Bishop Sergei Ryakhovsky is not ashamed to be called one of the main homophobes in Russia

One of the leading representatives of Russian Protestantism, the head of the Russian Union of Christians of the Vera of the Gospel (Pentecost) and a member of the Public Chamber of the Russian Federation, Bishop Sergei Ryakhovsky believes that the obsessive propaganda of sin, including gay parades, should be stopped.

"Priests who lead the columns of gay parades and crown homosexual couples cannot be brothers! We honor the Holy Scripture, which clearly says that sodium is a sin that was stoned for the days of the Old Testament," S. Ryakhovsky said in an interview with the Journal of the Elite of Society, commenting on the approval of the European Protestant The clergy of same -sex marriages, reports Interfax .

He recalled that after several years ago he expressed a similar opinion on behalf of Russian Protestants in prison, Pase in his report declared the bishop "one of the main homophobes of Russia."

“But I am not ashamed of my views before anyone, I just call sin sin. God created the first family - Adam and Eve and said to them:“ To be fruitful and multiply. ”He did not create Adam and Stepan,” the head of Russian Protestants recalled.

According to him, sin, like violence, should not be promoted, and religious figures, calling to limit the "obsessive propaganda" of gay parades and abortions, do not urge to put homosexuals or women who have aborted in prisons.

“Sin should not be offered to young people as a kind of obligatory life experience or an example to follow. In society, it should be indecent to live immorally,” S. Ryakhovsky concluded.
