Rev. Austin has weighed in on the ongoing theological discussions involving Apostle Arome Osayi and Pastor Abel Damina, criticizing Damina’s approach and stating that he “behaved like a child” during the controversy.
According to Rev. Austin, his comments were made in defense of Apostle Arome Osayi, whom he believes was unfairly criticized. He urged believers to handle doctrinal disagreements with maturity while remaining faithful to biblical truth.
The remarks have generated widespread reactions across the Christian community, with supporters of both ministers expressing differing opinions. Some agreed with Rev. Austin’s assessment and defended Apostle Arome Osayi, while others maintained that theological disagreements should be addressed respectfully without resorting to personal attacks.
The exchange has reignited conversations about how Christian leaders should engage in public doctrinal debates. Many believers have emphasized the importance of discussing theological differences with humility, grace, and mutual respect, even where convictions strongly differ.
As discussions continue, many Christians have called for a renewed focus on biblical teaching, constructive dialogue, and preserving unity within the body of Christ while engaging in sincere theological conversations.
