RMD slams hypocrisy in christianity

Richard Mofe-Damijo (RMD), a well-known personality in Nollywood, has emphasized that hypocrisy is a major problem within the church.

During his appearance on the King of Talks podcast, hosted by Teju Babyface, the actor expressed that his perspectives on God and Christianity are not conventional.

My idea of Christ in today’s world and how we should embrace him is probably not very traditional. But I think the Lord says ‘That’s why I brought you here.’ so I stir quite a bit of controversy everywhere I speak. I think that I am appointed for a time like this, to do it unconventionally,” he stated.

“Someone was telling me about someone doing a podcast about faith and stardom and I said I’d love to do that. Why? Because of the way Christians are wired. We were wired to think that the spirit of excellence should not be in you being a distiller. They thing that a distiller of whiskey shouldn’t be called a Christian. Why? It’s a craft,” he said.

RMD highlighted that the fundamental principle of Christianity is for Christians to have the freedom to attend church exactly as they are, without any need for change or pretense.

He added, “People built boats in the period that Christ lived. People owned vineyards and produced all the best wines in the area at the time. If they wanted to be followers of Christ, they could. That’s the whole essence of following Christ. Come as you are.”

“People are meant to come as they are. You can’t stop people from coming to Christ the way that they are. it’s when they come that their renewal starts. So let them come and then function in the societies where they find themselves in a way that can bring people to Christ without being hypocritical. I think that’s one of the biggest problems of today’s church. It’s hypocrisy,” he concluded.
