CurrentReport Blog Founder of Abel Damina Ministries and Power City International, Pastor Abel Damina, has sparked controversy with his recent declaration that smoking cigarettes and drinking alcohol are not sins.
Speaking during his New Year’s Eve sermon, the renowned cleric clarified his stance, emphasizing that while these habits are not sinful, they come with harmful side effects.
Damina stated:
“I’ve told you alcohol is not a sin. I’ve told you cigar is not a sin. If you like, put it on newspaper headline, I said it.
“Am I saying you should smoke? You should have sense from your father’s house to know that cigar will cut short your life.
“Am I saying you should drink alcohol? You should know that if you drink alcohol, you will lie down inside a gutter. Your shirt and trousers will disappear. You should have the sense to know that.”
The pastor clarified that his comments were not an endorsement of smoking or alcohol consumption but rather a call for people to exercise wisdom and caution regarding their choices.
