I saw this picture and I’ve been laughing for almost 2 days since seeing it!
You can see him walking around with the Kente cloth stole on in this video.
Now I might not be an “African American”, I’m an American and yes I’m Black and most importantly I’m a Christian, who knows the Lord Jesus Christ abhors homosexual behavior and only desires the union of one man and one woman.
Mark 10:6-12 (New King James Version)

The Lord Jesus Christ, Only Begotten Son of God, God in flesh, Word of God, through whom God made the worlds, knows better than anyone that God made male and female to be together in marriage from Adam and Eve forward. NEVER man to man or woman to woman. Romans 1 notes how terrible the sin of homosexuality is and the fact those who embrace such activity are turned from God. Jesus came to show the truth and offer life, but homosexuals try to twist the truth of Christ, because HE EXPOSES THEIR SIN AND THEY WANT TO CONTINUE IN SIN.
John 3:16-21 (New King James Version)

The folks in Ghana, the nation that is the source of Kente cloth, seem to understand fairly well that Jesus is opposed to homosexual behavior. They appear to be a nation that mostly adheres to Christianity, about 60% according to Wikipedia. And they are rightfully Conservative. Homosexual activity is illegal in Ghana.
…
Under Ghanaian law, male homosexual activity is officially illegal.
…
There is no legal recognition of same-sex couples under Ghanaian law.
…
Ghanaian law officially bans homosexuality in Ghana. In Accra, very few gay and gay-friendly bars can be found, and the gay scene in Accra is considerably less noticeable than in Western countries. In Ghana’s other large cities, such as Kumasi and Tema, gay social life exists, but on a less noticeable level. In rural areas, homosexuality is generally not accepted and many rural Ghanaians do not accept that homosexuality exists.
…
On September 1, 2006, the Ghanaian government banned an LGBT rights conference that was scheduled to take place on September 4 at the Accra International Conference Centre and at a venue in the city of Koforidua.The Information Minister Kwamena Bartels said: “Government would like to make it absolutely clear that it shall not permit the proposed conference anywhere in Ghana. Unnatural carnal knowledge is illegal under our criminal code. Homosexuality, lesbianism and bestiality are therefore offences under the laws of Ghana.”
The Information Minister was reported to have said that the Interior Minister should investigate and punish those who had given initial permission to the organisers.
I think Ghana has made it overwhelmingly clear that they don’t endorse the “gay lifestyle”.
So Bradley Schmeling needs to remove that Kente stole from around his neck, repent of his sins and stop trying to turn the truth of Christ’s teachings to fit his favorite sinful act!
All this makes me want to visit Ghana sometime if the Lord wills 
.
I recall when I was in undergrad and used to fall for some of the pan-Americanism garbage, I had one of these on at graduation, minus the hat. Nothing against the people of Ghana, when I say that by grad school graduation I had a picture by an American flag and didn’t desire to wear a Kente stole. I’m an American, not an African. (Who now lives in TN.) I respect their culture, but people like Schmeling disrespect it, when he wears the designs of people who have done all they can to disassociate themselves from sin. I’ve got a lot more in common with the people of Ghana than Schmeling and not because I’m Black, but because I am a Christian who realizes scripture is consistent in showing God is opposed to homosexual behavior.

and the two shall become one flesh?; so then they are no longer two, but one flesh.

“But,” he would probably say, “that’s a part of the Bible that was just meant for the people back then. That’s not applicable today.” Have you ever noticed that the parts of the Bible that people say only applied “back then” or “in that local context” are the parts that talk about some sin that person wants to keep committing?

Exactly. And I’ve even seen sinner homosexuals that claim the name of the Lord, claim that the word “homosexual” didn’t really mean homosexual as we understand it today. I think scripture makes it abundantly clear in saying the adulterer, fornicator, sodomite and homosexual are in sexual immorality and the only union ever approved was one man and one woman in marriage, a bond not to be broken.
The gays who want to be church leaders, the women who want to be church leaders and no-a-days even the children who try to be church leaders ALL try to hop-scotch over scripture that makes it clear they should not be in the post. The homosexual needs to stop trying to twist scripture and REPENT, others need to accept the sovereignty of God and His established order.
I chuckle when they try and use Acts 2:17, to claim “all flesh” means in the last days anyone might do anything. They don’t understand that PAUL SAID HE WAS IN THE LAST DAYS TOO and never did they forsake the order established by God.
Some also try to twist Galatians 3:28 to claim anyone can do whatever, but they neglect to realize that the same hand that pinned those words also pinned the rules for church leadership, the apostle Paul. Anyone who reads all of Galatians 3 realizes quickly that Paul was talking about all having eternal life and one in Christ, but that does not mean established roles in the family home or the church were removed. And Paul made it CLEAR, those who choose to embrace homosexual behavior WILL NOT inherit the kingdom of God, 1 Corinthians 6:9-10. The term homosexual has not changed in meaning. Paul was not simply talking about pedophiles and he was not trying to say homosexuals need a “life partner”
. God has made it clear to those who honestly accept Jesus as Lord and put Him before their sin.

You would have to admit. The church has become a joke nowadays in the name of Jesus. It is sad but there is still hope in Him.

The frauds really are a joke.
