00:00If the people don't cry out, then we will eat the bread that the devil needs.
00:08That is what will happen. This cannot produce anything good.
00:13Two men cannot make babies. Two women cannot make a baby.
00:18So what good could come out of this? This is death.
00:21Bishop Victor Gill, the senior pastor of Redemption Christian Center, is rejecting the Privy Council's ruling in the Jason Jones
00:29case.
00:30He says it is patently wrong and questions the authority of the court to determine an issue he believes should
00:36be guided by the country's values and constitutional principles.
00:40True law is based on reason and not on carnal and unnatural results.
00:54There are no rights to behaviors that are abnormal, unnatural, and that are not consistent with design and purpose in
01:08the natural order of the union.
01:10Gill says he believes the ruling places Christianity and homosexuality on a collision course.
01:17The Bible calls homosexuality an abomination, and the Privy Council does not have the final say in a constitutional republic
01:31where a law has been established as part of our constitution.
01:38If that's the case, we are not a free people.
01:40He also questions the constitutional implications of the decision, describing it as an abuse of judicial authority.
01:49They began pushing it in school.
01:51They had drag queens and a lot of this stuff.
01:55So homosexuals don't have rights that are more important than the rights of heterosexual or Christian people
02:07to indoctrinated our children and so forth.
02:10So this is something that is wrong and it will only take the nation's longer path to destruction.
02:24Bishop Gill says the Privy Council cannot just declare a law is wrong and have it struck off legislation.
02:30He calls it lawfare, judicial tyranny, and an abuse of legal power.
02:35He says the people should have a say.
02:38I think there should be a decision by the parliament based on some sort of a referendum from the people.
02:51The government should allow the people to decide what they want.
02:57And it's only a minuscule among the people in this nation who are homosexual and want homosexuality.
03:04Gill urges government to take a stand, warning that the church will continue to speak out against what he considers
03:10a departure from Christian values.
03:13The majority of the people do not want men having sex with men and teaching it to children as a
03:22normal behavior.
03:38The religious leader says the country must be prepared to defend its principles as the debate over constitutional rights, religious
03:46freedom, and equality continues.
03:48If we go this way, we are bringing a curse, more darkness, more confusion upon this country.
