Very good. Our tradition will never fade. The whites from Ireland deceived us to a great extent. We have not realised that what they brought to us are fictional characters.

Why those "fictionals" have provable & traceable realities in form of testimonies ?

Paul Obayi knows that there's no difference between what he has in his church alter as "Mary" and "Jesus" and what chief Ikenga has as "kofi kofi" in his shrine.

Both are ONE and the same.

I wish he would be able to raise money to build a bigger museum for the artifacts.He has that sense of preserving centuries old artefacts as against some self proclaimed men of “god” who burn such treasures

lol but how come most of the deities are of white looking people ?

Simplified:
Originally this was done to disguise traditional worship from the impositions of the foreign imperialists similar to African practices in the new world under slavery e.g. Sanitaria, Candomble idols and artefacts of worship...

I'm ashamed of that priest preserving idol instead converting people to the kingdom of God, can that priest place that idol in the house of or his home. All that belong to Satan not for Child of God, some persons prefer their idolatry tradition than God Almighty. Those persons supporting the priest, did any of you have the Jesus Christ movie, ur pastor sermon or Christian movies and biblical film. You can't serve Almighty God and idol at the same time. Be wise little thing can stain ur white garment.

From your post one can easily deduce that you are not that smart.. Your kind sold the future of Africa away in exchange for mirrors and gun powder.

You shall not make for yourself an image in the form of anything in heaven above or on the earth beneath or in the waters below. 5 You shall not bow down to them or worship them; for I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God, punishing the children for the sin of the parents to the third and fourth generation of those who hate me, 6 but showing love to a thousand generations of those who love me and keep my commandments.

festacman:
Yes, basically every deity is a piece wood carving, metal work or moulding into which a demon or demons were invoked and carefully programmed into and then enthroned in a place (shrine) to serve a purpose to a family, clan or community by mutual agreement in return for allegiance and worship.

Thus, whenever a community that owns a deity decide to end the relationship with the deity by abrupt break-up by a superior power rather than by negotiation and mutually ending the relationship, there is need to allow that community to decide what to do: burn or hand over to a museum. But the people must be 100% SURE that the demon has been cast out because the demon could be tricky and lie low in order to unleash destruction and wickedness much later.

Without the presence of spirit or demon, a deity is mere piece of artwork
.
Did Jesus Christ teach you anything about casting out demons from material things? undecided

A community deciding to burn materials as their way of ending their relationship with an idol is that, their belief, but it has nothing to do with that which Jesus Christ taught us. All He taught is that by submitting to and obeying Him, every other yoke you previously had is nullified since you cannot belong to Him and another at the same time. undecided
If in the future, you chose to serve another, then He ceases to be your master -again, you cannot be of His kingdom and serve two masters. undecided

Well, Jesus Christ never taught you that the way to make a choice to serve Him is through the burning of materials, even idols. Nor did He tell you to believe that demons can occupy material items... He did teach you of demons entering in and out of humans but not items. undecided

Your Mogs are guilty of teaching you doctrines and traditions of men, lies, that have led you to believing you sever relations with your past masters through the burning or ridding of things. Jesus Christ instead taught that you do so by submitting to and obeying the one you chose as master over you. undecided

Acts 17. 24-26

24 “The God who made the world and everything in it is the Lord of heaven and earth and does not live in temples built by human hands. 25 And he is not served by human hands, as if he needed anything. Rather, he himself gives everyone life and breath and everything else. 26 From one man he made all the nations, that they should inhabit the whole earth; and he marked out their appointed times in history and the boundaries of their lands. 27 God did this so that they would seek him and perhaps reach out for him and find him, though he is not far from any one of us. 28 ‘For in him we live and move and have our being.’[a] As some of your own poets have said, ‘We are his offspring.’[b]

Acts 19:19

A number who had practiced sorcery brought their scrolls together and burned them publicly. When they calculated the value of the scrolls, the total came to fifty thousand drachmas.


Jeremiah 43:12

And I shall set fire to the temples of the gods of Egypt, and he will burn them and take them captive. So he will wrap himself with the land of Egypt as a shepherd wraps himself with his garment, and he will depart from there safely.

My people perish for lack of knowledge,it is written in the Bible that we have been bought out from every tribe into the kingdom of His dear Son.sorry am not here to judge anybody,but this show that the priest mind has not been transform by the word of God .
Actually, if you paid close attention to what is written there in Hosea 4 vs 1 -14, makes it clear that the knowledge that destroys them is that of His teachings and commandments, which is true in this case since you don't seem aware of that which Jesus Christ taught at all. undecided

What the priest is do is nothing against Jesus Christ. No, since Jesus Christ never asked you or anyone to burn objects you designate as idols in His name. He instead asked that you submit to and obey His teachings and commandments instead, as that is the only way to sever your relations with your other masters to choose Him only. undecided
