Monogamy and the consideration of the Bible as the word of God are popular Christian doctrines, which explain why there have been a lot of reactions to Kyiri Abosom's comments.

"On which faith is your church founded Osofo? 1 Corinthians 1:18 says 'For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God."

"Im always asking if people understand the word, "CHURCH" church does not only characterizes a Christian group but group of people with common belief or idea. He is not a Christian, let ask him his belief... period."
