Solomon Buchi concerned over Yul's health status

In a lengthy message, Solomon knocked the actor for making a caricature of the Christian faith, especially as his lifestyle conflicted with his preachings.

He stressed that Yul was supposed to be focused on seeking forgiveness for involving himself in adultery and polygamy.

The writer stated that it was difficult to know if Yul was serious about his new ministry or just being sarcastic.

Solomon further expressed concerns over the actor's mental health status and suggested he be taken in for mental care.

He wrote in part:

"Yul has been through quite a lot in the past months, and he might need intensive mental care. This charade isn’t helping and all he needs is Jesus and reflective time to morph into a better man. It’s hard to tell if his ‘ministry’ is sarcastic or real, but whatever it is, it is still embarrassing to the Christian faith. Get your life and family together first, Yul.”

DaraDido:

"I haven't seen where polygamy is a sin in the bible,it was Paul who advice that anyone who wants to be a deacon ,should be a man of one wife, God didn't say, Jesus didn't say, Paul said. Paul was a rebel ,who was his spiritual father? Let he without sin cast the first stone."

There is no problem with pastors using digital platforms

Pastor Austeen said:

"I don’t have any problem with them using the digital platform and making money in the process. Once their message grows and expands the kingdom. Pastoring is not a death sentence to poverty. If there is a means they can also make money while discharging their kingdom duty. As long as they’re not exploiting and not preaching heresy."
