Pastor Enoch Adeboye, the General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), has stirred discussions on social media following a recent statement about Jesus Christ being the sole savior of humanity.
According to PUNCH on December 29, Adeboye made the remarks during the RCCG's annual 'Let's Go A-Fishing' program, themed 'Good News.' This event, a key initiative of the church for spreading the gospel across Nigeria, has been running for over two decades.
Addressing the congregation, Pastor Adeboye emphasized the significance of Christ’s mission on earth. He said, “Jesus Christ’s mission is to save humanity. Christ came to earth, bore humanity’s sins, and offered salvation and eternal life to all who will believe.” His message resonated deeply with attendees, culminating in altar calls where thousands publicly committed their lives to Christ.
The pastor's statement has sparked a wide range of reactions online. While many applauded his message, others expressed opposing views. One commenter argued, “Jesus Christ is not God. He is only a messenger.”
