Hmm 🤔 another year for this pastor to trend. On this one, I disagree with him

Craze man he is, normally

Genesis
1:29 And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and EVERY TREE, in the which is the FRUIT OF A TREE yielding seed; to you it shall be for FOOD.

Genesis
2:16 And the LORD God commanded the man, saying, Of EVERY TREE of the garden thou mayest FREELY EAT:
2:17 BUT of the TREE of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not EAT of it: for in the day that thou EATEST thereof thou shalt surely die.

Genesis
3:1 Now the serpent was more subtil than any beast of the field which the LORD God had made. And he said unto the woman, YEA, hath God said, Ye shall not EAT of every tree of the garden?
3:2 And the woman said unto the serpent, We may EAT of the FRUIT of the TREES of the garden:
3:3 But of the FRUIT of the TREE which is in the midst of the garden, God hath said, Ye shall not EAT of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die.
3:4 And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die: 3:5 For God doth know that in the day ye EAT thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil.
3:6 And when the woman SAW that the tree was GOOD FOR FOOD, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a TREE to be desired to make one wise, SHE TOOK OF THE FRUIT thereof, and DID EAT, and gave also unto her husband with her; and HE DID EAT.

That's it above for all to ponder!
THEY INDEED ATE SOME FORBIDDEN FRUIT!....

CIGARETTE SMOKING and ALCOHOL TAKING are BEHAVIORS that are POTENTIALLY ADDICTIVE and UNHEALTHY! They are NOT SINS IN THEMSELVES but are better avoided to avoid negative associations and consequences. It is shameful for a Christian and unhelpful to the young convert. Paul admonished us to avoid giving wrong impressions about Christianity to young converts, though it is within our rights to behave in certain ways. The sin comes when they are taken to a point that users misbehave and commit other sins... bringing shame to the name of God!

God and His word remain true though all men, big and small, are liars!

he just want to trend niii. He want people to be talking about him niii. No one buys to his lies and propaganda again. He forgot that internet no Dey forget.

If you are to tell your children a story related to sex... Would you tell them exactly how it is? Of course you will use parables. Eve had sex with an animal, and then told Adam that it's sweet. The consequences of premarital sex is the issue Adam had with God

I unread this. If you are not sure don't say what you don't know.

I’m schooling you on what is written in the scriptures and you are here saying other things here.

In that case, what then is the sin of Adam? Since it was Eve that had sex with an animal

Adam and Eve disobeyed a direct order from God. God clearly instruct them not to eat the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden. They ate the fruit and disregarded God's instructions. This is what makes it a sin Mr. Abel Damina

Nobellight77:
Don't be deceived.

1 Corinthians 6:9-10
[9]Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind,
[10]Nor thieves, nor covetous,nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God.

I wonder what he got to say about this, clearly written that needs no interpretation.

This is why people should learn to read the Bible for themselves and not just follow pastors dogmatically. Mark 7 that Damina is using to justify his heresy has a context and the context is in the first 5 verses below

1One day some Pharisees and teachers of religious law arrived from Jerusalem to see Jesus. 2They noticed that some of his disciples failed to follow the Jewish ritual of hand washing before eating. 3(The Jews, especially the Pharisees, do not eat until they have poured water over their cupped hands,a as required by their ancient traditions. 4Similarly, they don’t eat anything from the market until they immerse their handsb in water. This is but one of many traditions they have clung to—such as their ceremonial washing of cups, pitchers, and kettles
5So the Pharisees and teachers of religious law asked him, “Why don’t your disciples follow our age-old tradition? They eat without first performing the hand-washing ceremony.

Jesus's response to the question the Pharisees asked him about adherence ceremonial law of cleanliness is what Abel Damina has misconstrued to mean Genesis 3 was historically inaccurate. This is deception. Jesus was making a distinction between ceremonial laws and living a holy life. Damina should quit all these oversabi that he keeps doing by turning the bible upside down and twisting it to his own narrative.
There is no relationship between Mark 7 and Genesis 3

How will someone that's truly born again,sanctify and filled with holy ghost will be thinking of cigarettes and alcohol let alone smoking and drinking them.

i want to ask him if having erection is a sin?

How about the disobedience part of the story, that means there was no disobedience? What did Jesus die for?

What kind of stupid pastor is this man?
Hmmm
May God have mercy on you Damina

Craze man🤣🤣🤣

Read 2Cor. 7:1 it talks about christians cleansing themselves of every defilement of FLESH and spirit, cigarettes certainly defiles the flesh as the federal ministry of health warns... Then Gen.2:16&17 say that God told Adam to eat from every other trees in the garden except from the tree of knowledge of good and bad,so denying that that tree doesn't exist means all other trees that are here today doesn't exist either.

agentarcher:
Smoking has never been a sin. No one knows what the forbidden fruit was, it's all speculation. Smoking too much is only hazardous to your health. Just like how too much alcohol is bad, too much sugar leads to diabetes. Everything is down to regulation and control. Don't consume what has control over you.

Bro the Bible didn't mention apple,and if u conclude that the fruit they ate is figurative,then considering Gen 2:16&17 every other tree in the world should be figurative also.cos God mentioned every other trees before he told them not to touch or eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and bad

vikyno:
Most people did not even bother to listen to the tape before cruxifying him.
He said the truth.

I alway knew the " Apple " being reffered to in the bible that Adam and Eve ate was just figurative.

Definitely.. Always be in charge...

SonofElElyonRet:
His own personal interpretation and the bible says the scriptures are not of private interpretation. The rule is to apply literal interpretation unless it works absurdity.. also if the trees in the garden of Eden didn't possess the supernatural qualities they were named after, why did God appoint a cherub to guard the tree of life so Adam and Eve wouldn't get to it to eat of the fruit and live forever?? So are you saying disobedience to God by eating the fruit of the tree of life would've been rewarded by God with eternal life

Calm down and read why God was angry with them

Disobedience of any form is a sin. It's not about the fruit that was eaten. That was the first time they disobeyed God

Nwaikpe:
So, why can't the location of eden be found today on earth?

Or, are we forced to go back to my "contrived symbolic interpretation?"

Because, the definition of something being spiritual is that it cannot be seen. So, can you see the garden of eden or the fruit or the Chrub guardian?

The location of eden was well described in the bible together with the boundary rivers. Archaeology will tell you the precise location..

The guarding was a temporary measure till adam and eve were no longer able to access it.. Obviously God took the tree away eventually after the whole earth got corrupted. revelation tells us that God will again restore the tree of life in the new Jerusalem which will be a city come down from heaven. But of course you don't believe in the New Jerusalem either now or do you

How is alcohol and cigarettes a sin? My guy u need to study and ask for understanding from God. Alcohol and cigarette are harmful to your body and has nothing to do with sin. You are only harming yourself just like eating too much chocolate and taking too much sugar

MadamExcellency:
Disobedience to the law is the definition of a sin. Abel or whatever he calls himself should allow people, cultures and tribes to define that for themselves.

Islamic culture says alcohol is a sin to them and if they accept it as their standard, so is it.

God applauded the Children of Recab for refusing to drink wine or strong drinks because their father instructed them to do so. God rewarded them for sticking the their conviction.

This Christian life is not about controversy, it is a life of orderliness and moderation.

John 16:13 KJV
Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come.

U need discipleship.

Boogyman557:

Is taking cocaine and codeine a sin? NO. It's just harmful to your body and you will pay for it when the negative result shows.

Fornication!!! It doesn't matter who lured who, if you fornicate and get HIV, what caused you to fornicate becomes irrelevant.
