P okotie is not the first nor be the last to view the catholic church...the church of all times, the beacon of western civilisation as assembly of the devil. It is an institution men from within and without have tried to destroyed but failed ....it is an ark both of sinners and saints. It is the only force that has outlive empires, kingdom/chiefdom that have tried to destroyed it. ...to the ends of the earth the catholic church tru out 20 centuries have taken the gospel....the saving message of Christ...the same bible a morally bankrupt Okotie relied on in condemning the the holy catholic and apostolic church ws canonised by the church fathers chaired by the great African, st. Augustine in 393 and 397 AD and presented to pope damasus for aproval. It is an undisputed history. So many like okotie who labelled the church anti-christ ended up becoming catholic. He is not even as learned    as most catholic priests who have renounced worldly care to pursue a life of Solitude and prayer with God. Okotie has biting more than he can chew...I need a debate wit him.

Though am not  a fan f pastor Chris, here he right. †ђε scripture studied in details Ãήϑ also †ђε writings f church fathers as successors f †ђε apostles never condemn alcoholism nor smoking. Even drugs we take contain nicotine...so foes dat make everyone who take prescribed drugs an addict?. Jesus was even termed  a drunkard coz he drank Ãήϑ  a glutton coz he hardly fast like   D̶̲̥̅̊ pharisees.cf. Matt: 11:18-19. Even he changed water into wine which contain alcohol. Cf Jn:2:1-12,...pple shud study sacred scriptures Ãήϑ extral biblical writings like   D̶̲̥̅̊ dead sea scrolls wich give us  a better insight into †ђε thoughts f †ђε first century Christians-their tenets Ãήϑ response to things, Ãήϑ not what somebody having NƠ̴̴̴͡ indepth knowledge f theology Ãήϑ circumstances that elicited some response from jesus. Anything taking in excess or outside its mandate is wat constitute sin. Like example sex used within marriage is adorable but outside marriage is deplorable before God Ãήϑ man. So †ђε fact i abstain from alcohol or cigarettes does not make it sinful coz others do take these. What constitute sin is drunkenness Ãήϑ addiction. Detachment is one f †ђε positive signs f spiritual life.
