Cardinal
Anthony Okogie has warned the Pastor of the Household of God Church
International, Chris Okotie, against talking out of ignorance or else he will
be disgraced very soon.
Pastor
Okotie, while criticising the Catholic Church in a Sunday sermon, had said the
church is “a counterfeit church set up by Satan.” He also said Catholics “bow
to idols and crucify Jesus every Sunday when they eat bread claiming they are
eating Jesus’ body.”
Okotie
added: “They (Catholics) are not Christians and have never been. They don’t
know Jesus. They believe that when they eat bread on Sundays, they are eating
the body of Jesus. It’s ritual.”
In his
reaction to Pastor Okotie’s comment that “all Catholics will go to hell”,
Cardinal Okogie said it is wrong for Okotie, a 55-year-old pastor, to speak on
what he knew little or nothing about. READ IT HERE
In a chat
with Punch, Cardinal Okogie said, “It is always good to talk on what you know,
not on what you do not know. The problem we have today is that a lot of people
put their mouth in what does not concern them because they want people to know
that they too are there; that they can be reckoned with.
“I don’t
think that is the way to do things, no. I think the best thing is to always put
your mouth where God puts it, if you don’t want to be disgraced.”
You may wish
to know that Pastor Okotie, who had divorced two wives, recently bought a Rolls
Royce 2014 worth N120m to mark his 30 years as born-again Christian and 27
years as a pastor.
