Abel Damina, the Senior Pastor of Abel Damina Ministries International has revealed why God is not a Christian and urged his congregation to cease believing that only Christians will enter heaven.
He stated this during a sermon on Monday.
He criticized the belief that Christianity is the sole path to paradise and emphasized that even Jesus was not a Christian.
Damina pointed out that biblical figures such as Abraham, David, and Jesus Christ did not use the term “Christianity.”
He added that these holy individuals were regarded as disciples or believers, not “Christians” in the traditional sense.
He said, “Many of you think God is a Christian. God is not a Christian. Many of you think if you are not a Christian, you won’t go to heaven, lie. People went to heaven before Christianity started. Christianity started in Antioch in the Book of Acts. That should humble you a bit, and you should start adjusting your theology.
“And it is unbelievers that gave the name Christianity that you are carrying as a condition to go to heaven— unbelievers who watch the people who were adherents of Brother Paul’s teachings. After teaching for some time, they saw the transformation that had happened to these people. Before then, they were called believers and almajiris. They were disciples of Paul.
“Then the people said instead of calling disciples, the transformation we see in them is that they look like Christ, so let’s call them Christians. But before then, many people went to heaven, including the thief on the cross. So, you don’t have to be a Christian to make heaven.”
