Did you remember that preacher that said m*st*u*r*b*a*tion was not a sin!!!! - Pastor Chris! Sometimes, you just wonder like "Is he really a man of God?" Is he real? In a desperate bid to generate attention and controversy, Pastor Oyakhilome is now creating his cr*zy rules, saying that Alcohol and drugs is not a sin!!!
The founder and senior pastor of Christ Embassy, Pastor Chris Oyakhilome on Sunday told all who cared to listen that since the Bible does not expressly condemn both Cigarette and Alcohol, then there is nothing wrong with these stuffs.
It all started when a viewer of his television programme wrote in to enquire from the popular pastor if it was wrong for a 'Christian to work in a Cigarette company'.
Below is the response from Pastor Chris: There is nothing wrong with Cigarette, the Bible doesn’t say anything was wrong with it... I know a lot of people do complain about it because of the relationship attached to it with some sicknesses like cancer...but if they really believe it is wrong why not ban it totally.
It is the same thing when you have Christians working in the Breweries. The Bible doesn’t condemn alcohol. The only reference made to alcohol in the Bible is ‘do not take too much of wine’. So you see these things has to do with the individual state...if they are convince something is not good they should just ban it..."
What do you think about the Pastor’s position? Share your thoughts.

Before condemning the man of God, try and find out if the source of the information is real or not, U guys dont even know if the poster is of another religion , just trying to tarnish the image of d man of God, pastor chris is very right, i have not seen any where in the Holy Bible where cigarette is condemed; too much of every thing is a sin

I agree dat alcohol isnt bad.if nt y wud jesus turn water 2 wine? Too much of it,dat is,gettin drunk is a sin.but smoking of any form is defilement of flesh.as long ure takin in somtin dats harmful 2 ur body n health,ure defiling it.jst as d bible says commiting adultery is defilement of d marriage bed,so also d bible prohibits defilement of flesh. Pple shud learn 2 read deir bibles n listen 2 wat it says dan dependin on a man of God. 4 in d last days,we r gonna hear a lot of inspired teachings of demons. Be warned!
Life is damn too short to be sitting around miserable.
