Church reacts to reports that their pastor made an ”infertile couple have intercourse” on the Church altar for a child.
A Church has reacted after a photo showing two people laying on each other on the Church’s altar while a Pastor and several church members put out their hands toward them, went viral and sparked outrage online.
According to viral reports, the pair had been trying for a child for ten years without success, and when they sought help from the church, the minister encouraged them to have coitus on the altar in front of the congregation.
The photo sparked controversy, with many people expressing their thoughts about it.
However, reacting, the Church located in Brazil said the photo was of two women, not a man and a woman.
They explained that the woman had arrived sick and had fainted during service. So after the preaching, the Pastor called the sick woman and told another woman to lie to her as a prophetic act.
The Church said getting a female minister to lie on top of the sick woman was based on the Bible passage that saw Prophet Elisha lie on the body of a dead boy while praying to God to bring his spirit back to life.
One person said, "People it is not a couple, it is a lady who came very sick. She fainted, and one of our Pastors called her and did this Prophet act based on 2 kings where the Prophet laid down on the boy and prayed to God to bring back the spirit of life. Now, we are being attacked on Facebook."
Elisha Raises the Shunammite's Son
So he went in, closed the door behind the two of them, and prayed to the LORD. Then Elisha got on the bed and lay on the boy, mouth to mouth, eye to eye, and hand to hand. As he stretched himself out over him, the boy’s body became warm. Elisha turned away and paced back and forth across the room. Then he got on the bed and stretched himself out over the boy again, and the boy sneezed seven times and opened his eyes. ~2 Kings 4:33-35
