Veteran actor and broadcaster Patrick Doyle has expressed his discontent with members of Pastor Lazarus Muoka’s The Lord’s Chosen Church for their use of the phrase “I am a chosen.” He contends that this expression should not be linked to the Body of Christ, as it diverts attention away from God.
On Saturday, Patrick took to his Facebook record to voice his interests regarding the far reaching utilization of this expression.
He contended that when church individuals serenade this expression, their dedication isn`t coordinated towards Jesus Christ but instead towards their Overall Regulator, Minister Muoka.
He wrote, “The phrase ‘I am a chosen,’ as used by members of the religious sect called ‘Chosen,’ should never be connected to the Body of Christ.
“The members of this sect do not have Jesus in mind when they chant the phrase. Their adoration is unequivocally directed at a man, their GO, and the sect he founded. The phrase does not mention or even imply Jesus in any way.”
Patrick further denounced the association of this expression to Christian convictions, marking it a joke.
“To infer that the nonsensical phrase is remotely connected to giving glory to the name or person of our Savior, Jesus Christ, is to make a mockery of our faith.
“Bloggers and content creators using the phrase are not mocking the Church of God but the sect in question and its founder.”
The pastor also addressed clergy members who have criticized the derision of the phrase, asserting, “Clerics who interpret the mockery of that phrase as an affront to the faith are profoundly mistaken.
“Their defense of this phrase is, in fact, an endorsement of a sect that places its GO above Jesus, reducing the importance of Christ in their worship.”
In his post, Patrick explained that his comments were not planned to empower joke of Christianity but rather focused on that this specific example of disparagement doesn`t focus on the confidence in general.
