Prophet T.B. Joshua has countered ongoing speculation that he is at loggerheads with Christ Embassy Pastor, Chris Oyakhilome over a some biblical questions that saw the respected Ministers of God producing divergent views.
Recall that both men of God had given different answers to the question on whether abortion after rape was a sin or not.
Similarly, when TB Joshua was asked if masturbation was a sin, he had said yes, that it was even as bad as fornication – a question to which Pastor Chris had replied saying masturbation wasn’t a sin, sparking another huge online criticism of both pastors’ teachings.
Reacting to the difference in their replies and evidently showing his support for Oyakhilome, Joshua wrote this on his official Facebook page while answering a follower’s question:
“This reminds me of a recent article in which people put me side by side my brother, Pastor Chris Oyakhilome talking about masturbation. Our brother was referring to Christians, not others.
“Christians who already have a relationship with God – their wrong is different from others because the root of their wrong is from the flesh, not from the heart. When the root of your wrong is not from the heart, your wrong will make you to run to God the more. That is, it will intensify your relationship with God. I mean, you will see the need of God the more until His name is glorified. Your challenges will make you to honour God before men.
Therefore, we men of God – the Bible is our standard. We cannot disagree because our Bible is one. The understanding of people that read us can only differ. Men of God are a blessing to our generation.”
