GCM is reporting on recent statements made by Oneness Pentecostal and Word Faith mogul “Bishop” T.D. Jakes which imply that Ruth and Naomi were lesbian lovers. And in addition that David and Jonathan were is a “same-sex” relationship.

Said Jakes:

“Ruth turns to Naomi and says “I shall not leave thee.” She makes her statement to this woman…that sounds somewhat, somewhere in between poetry, intimacy, and borders on lesbianism. People don’t even know how to explain what Ruth said to Naomi. It makes them uncomfortable. They’re afraid to talk about it. They don’t want to teach on it. Same thing with David and Jonathan…where there were same-sex relationships getting too close, people don’t even know what to say.”
