Members of the Household of God Church have been barred not to discuss issues pertaining to the recent divorce of the founder of the Rev. Chris Okotie and ex- wife Stephanie Henshaw so as not to destroy themselves and also the church.

The members have been asked to respect the decision of the Pastor, considering the portion of the Bible that urged Christians to “get rid of the finger that could lead them to hell.”

smh! See how men of God twist and give a different interpretation 2 d meaning of scriptures. Wat about d part where Jesus plainly said there shud be no divorce? Even Paul repeated it and said it was a COMMAND from d Lord.

That's the thing about religious books. It can be a dangerous tool in the hands of a fanatic.
I'm not saying pastor chris is a fanatic though, but the Bible just like the Quran can be ambiguous with different people giving it different interpretation to suit themselves.
Anybody can find any quote in these books to support whatever they may want to do and make it appear that was what the verse meant.
I guess most of the religious leaders are like lawyers, the Holy books are the constitution.
The congregation deserves to know what went wrong with their pastor's wedding atleast he is a role model they look up to and emulate. He deserve to give them a justifiable reason not to quote a verse so that the members don't see it as a normal thing to just dissolve your marriage at any slight misunderstanding and claiming the Bible supports cutting hands that may lead one astray.

Church members are sheeple anyway...

The owner of the sheep has spoken, obey the man, or you shall be denied miracles. grin

Naija churches are like crack houses, and the church members are the crack fiends.. Whatever the dealer says is final, argue with him and you're doomed. shocked

SMH. Are they blind fools or what? Can't they see the handwriting on the wall? On what grounds should one divorce? What distinguishes you "man of God" from the world? What is the difference between you and the likes of Seal and Heidi Klum? Irreconciable differences indeed. angry

Better check the source of your teachings for it has been said that by their fruits you shall know them.

May thunder fire you for making insinuation that people are judging the man of God(?),how many times did him and his likes go on the pulpit and talk about (condem) members who do not pay tithes? But when they do u say they are preaching the word not judging those souls, now that he has done things that are not scriptural and people talk about u say they are judging.
Okotie is just a serial polygamist simple!
