Leo DaSilva, a reality star from Big Brother Naija, has criticized Christians who refer to their pastors using terms such as “daddy,” “spiritual father,” and similar titles.
In a post on the micro-blogging platform X, he expressed that such descriptions of pastors are concerning.
“My Daddy, ‘My Spiritual Daddy,’ ‘my father in the Lord’s to describe your pastor is a red flag.”
In a subsequent tweet, he elaborated that his two years of study at a theology school were not aimed at becoming a pastor, but rather to deepen his understanding of the scriptures. He emphasized that a true love for God should motivate individuals to seek knowledge about Him independently, likening it to loving someone without truly knowing them.
“I went to theology school for 2 years, not because I want to become a pastor but to understand the word of God even more.
If you claim to love God, you will try to learn about God yourself.
It’s like saying you love someone you don’t even know.
Don’t be a sheep to everything”.
