Obinim Has Sparked National Debate - Rev. Dr. Anyani - Boadum

Rt. Rev. Dr. Nana Anyani Boadum has added his voice to the Obinim saga.

He said, “German theologian Emil Brunner made the curious suggestion that Adolf Hitler should be posthumously given an honorary doctor of theology degree because he awakened Europe to her Christian heritage by showing her what the world would be like without Christianity.

According to Ravi Zacharias in page ten of his book, Deliver us from evil, Brunner’s curious suggestion ‘would apply in the same measure to the individual who now draws our attention, for through him we shall see the hell that is unleashed when spiritual truths are renounced’.

Recent activities and doctrines expounded by Bishop Obinim, has sparked a national debate over how far is too far, over our rights and freedoms.

I dare say that Obinim is not the only pastor who is preaching what some of us consider as weird doctrines. Several other pastors are in the name of Jesus doing horrible, criminal and dubiuos things all over the country.

But it is Bishop Obinim who has awakened the nation and the Christian community to the fact that the current image of the church is pockmarked with integrity crises that needs to be addressed.

There is therefore the need for the Christian leadership of this country to come out of their passive hermitage and act to stop people hiding under religious freedom to frolic in unfettered restraint.

It does not require a sophisticated mind to predict the outcome whenever a society pretends there are no fences. Common sense alone alerts us to the dangers. There is no society on earth whose members enjoy absolute freedom.

The sovereign God granted 99.9% free-will to mankind in the garden of Eden but placed 0.01% restraint on the forbidden tree. When Adam and Eve crossed the red line the entire creation suffered the consequences.”
