Popular clergyman Dr. Abel Damina recently addressed the rumors circulating that he is jealous of pastor Jerry Eze. The speculations began after Damina openly expressed his disagreement with the popular phrase, “What God cannot do does not exist,” which has become closely associated with Jerry Eze’s ministry. Damina clarified his stance while speaking on a recent episode of the Honest Bunch podcast, hosted by Nedu Wazobia, Husband Material, and others.
During the discussion, Dr. Abel Damina explained that many people have misunderstood his comments, leading them to believe that he harbors jealousy towards Jerry Eze. However, Damina was quick to dismiss these claims, pointing out that Jerry Eze is significantly younger in the ministry compared to him, and there is no basis for such jealousy.
He further elaborated on his disagreement with the phrase “What God cannot do does not exist,” stating that it is not aligned with his understanding of the truth. Damina believes that while the phrase has gained popularity, it does not accurately reflect the reality of faith and the nature of God as he understands it.
His comments sparked a broader conversation on the podcast about the nature of modern-day miracles. Damina voiced his concerns about the authenticity of many miracles that are showcased in public, suggesting that not all of them are genuine. He was clear to affirm his belief in miracles and healings, but he expressed skepticism about what he referred to as “arranged miracles” that have become prevalent in some religious circles today.
At one point in the conversation, the podcast co-host, Nedu, directly asked Damina if he was implying that certain miracles are staged. Damina responded with a rhetorical question, asking how it is possible that many of the crutches seen at healing crusades are of the same color and brand new. His remark hinted at his belief that some of these displays might be orchestrated rather than miraculous.
Damina’s statements have prompted varied reactions from the public. Some have supported his stance, while others have criticized him for his comments. One social media user, @sire_sommy, questioned when it became common for men of God to appear on podcasts, reflecting on the changing dynamics of religious discourse. Another user, @ugo_shib, directly challenged Damina’s denial, suggesting that his comments could indeed stem from jealousy. Meanwhile, @E_Mbuyazi shared a different perspective, arguing that the saying about God’s omnipotence is true for all religions.
The discussion has sparked a larger conversation about the influence of religious leaders in the digital age and the role of social media in shaping public perceptions of faith and spirituality. As the debate continues, Dr. Abel Damina remains steadfast in his beliefs, emphasizing the importance of discernment in matters of faith.
