‘What God cannot do doesn’t exist’ is a silly slogan, Patrick Doyle tackles Christians

Patrick Doyle, the ace actor, has tackled Christians who use the phrase ‘What God cannot do does not exist’.

The slogan is popular among Christians as an expression of belief that God can accomplish the impossible.

But in a recent Facebook post, the thespian argued that despite the fact that the slogan has been proven to be “nonsensical”, people still chant it.

Although Doyle did not provide evidence to back his argument, he also condemned the slogan which he referred to as “silly”.

He urged Christians to be weary of using phrases that have tendencies to introduce “false teachings”.

“Some people are just too obstinate to admit their folly. Even after that slogan “What God cannot do doesn’t exist” has been proven to be silly, they still continue to chant it, ” he wrote.

“The work of bringing things into existence was completed by God on the 7th day of creation. To speculate that some things “don’t exist” and couch that irrational possibility in a slogan is insulting. Slogans, no matter how woke they sound, have the power of attrition to blunt the efficacy of profound scriptures, he added.

“A good example is the slogan “Heaven helps those who help themselves.” This slogan overtime has become part of “Christian Lexicon” and has insidiously introduced the false doctrine of “works of men” to supplant the profundity of the doctrine of the “Finished Work Of Christ.” Here is a word of caution to christian slogan copy writers, “If It Breeds Doubt, Do Without”.”

‘What God cannot do doesn’t exist’ is an expression often used in the daily online ministration of Jerry Eze, the Nigerian Pentecostal pastor.
The cleric and gospel singer Dunsin Oyekan also put out a song with the slogan as the title.

The slogan has also been used by a plethora of notable Christians including gospel singers like Frank Edwards, Steve Crown, and Judikay.

Drama as pastor Paul Enenche confronts lady for sharing fake testimony (Video)

Paul Enenche, the senior pastor of Dunamis International Gospel Centre (DIGC), on Sunday, called out a woman for sharing what he claimed to be a “false testimony”.

A short video from the DIGC’s service went viral on social media wherein he confronted the woman during her testimony.

The lady had taken to the altar to testify how she became the first graduate in her family. She also thanked God for making it possible for her to graduate with a “Law degree from the National Open University Of Nigeria (NOUN)”.

She recounted how some spiritual forces prevented her and her siblings from attending universities and how she overcame them.

Enenche, however, asked the lady what degree she graduated with and she said “Law”. The clergyman thereafter inquired to know what kind of “Law degree”, to which the lady answered “BSc in Law”.

The cleric immediately pointed out that there is no such thing as a “BSc in law” — casting doubt on her testimony.

“Your testimony is a lie. There is nothing like a BSc in Law. Please go back to your seat. Bsc in Law. Is that how lawyers speak English?” the cleric asked rhetorically.

“Please, anybody who comes to this altar to share a testimony that is not true, you do it at the risk of yourself.

“We are not playing here. We are not faking anything here.”

The video has been widely circulated on social media platforms, with users airing their different opinions.

NOUN held its 13th convocation on Saturday. The convocation ceremony saw 22,175 students graduate across NOUN’s 120 study centres in Nigeria.

Of the graduates, 15,768 received their undergraduate degrees, while 6,407 were awarded postgraduate certificates.

On April 7, the federal government had declared Tuesday and Wednesday as public holidays for the Muslim celebration.

Shortly afterwards however, Muhammad Abubakar, Sultan of Sokoto, declared Wednesday as the first day of Shawwal 1445AH, adding that there was no sighting of the new moon on Monday.

In the new statement, Ndayako quoted Tunji Ojo, minister of interior, as congratulating the “Muslim Ummah for a successful completion of a month of spiritual rejuvenation”, while “reiterating President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s (GCFR) firm commitment to providing a safe and prosperous Nigeria for all to thrive”.
