SPALDINGS, Clarendon:

Administrative Bishop for the New Testament Church of God in Jamaica and The Cayman Islands, Wellesley A. Blair, says he is totally against abortion, homosexuality and lesbianism, and he intends to fight against the acts with every fibre of his being.

"The amount of legislation that is being asked for in the area of abortion, in the area of homosexuality and to legalise anal sex. I want to state categorically and firmly, with every fibre of my being, that I am totally, scripturally against it," declared Bishop Blair.

Speaking in an interview with The Gleaner last Friday at his Fairway Avenue office in Kingston, Bishop Blair said there are persons who are asking questions about people's human rights regarding the subjects, but he believes that persons who are believed to be homosexuals and lesbians only have one of two rights.

Will put up a p>"A homosexual only has one of two rights. It is either he changes his life or accepts the just punishment of God, as He did in Sodom and Gomorra," he said.

Bishop Blair made it clear that God did not make any homosexuals and broadly speaking, He did not create any Sodomites, as they (Sodomites) made themselves that way, according to the Book of Romans chapter one.

He added that those who are talking about the setting up of a gay church in Jamaica, must remember that there are a few God-fearing, Holy Ghost, holiness preachers who are still around and who are very adamant that they will do everything legally and spiritually in their power to bar that.

Flogging

Bishop Blair said that Sodomites who are caught should be beaten. "I believe that when the court orders lashing, some of those Sodomites who are caught and some of the criminals, should be brought in the square of Half-Way Tree and be lashed and send them home," he said.

Bishop Blair, who was unapologetic about his utterances, said he will be monitoring what goes on inside Gordon House to see those men and women who would dare to vote for the passing of legislation to make homosexuality and lesbianism legal, as he will be one of those who will try to influence the Christian community to target them (politicians) in the next election.

"If the legislation to legalise sodomy and lesbianism passes in Jamaica and it is signed into law, and God does not do something about it, He would have to wake up Sodom and Gomorra and beg them pardon," said Blair.
