Social media abuzz over Grace Bible Church sermon
Social media is abuzz after choreographer extraordinaire and Idols judge, Somizi Mhlongo, lashed out against the Grace Bible Church in Soweto's "homophobic" sermon yesterday.
Mhlongo walked out in the middle of a sermon delivered by Ghanaian bishop, Bishop Dag Heward-Mills, after Mills condemned homosexuality.
In a series of videos posted on Instagram, Mhlongo said that he will remain gay and that churches should be open about their policy.
"If churches do not accept gay congregates they should say so, then I can find a church that does accept me," Mhlongo said in the video.

If the Bible of God is against it..who are you to say its right
The most hypocritical are the women defending #GraceBibleChurch because it is the very same Bible used to oppress them.

The word of God is against homosexuality, you cannot go to church and expect to hear something different. #GraceBibleChurch

Also, Christians should stop thinking the bible is the standard for all our lives. Not everyone is Christian #Gracebiblechurch

#GraceBibleChurch I don't understand the comparison thieves, fornicators e.t.c that's a lifestyle choice. Homosexuality is not a choice.
