    I believe If Jesus was the pastor He would not turn away an unsaved woman in mini skirt coming to church to hear the gospel

  • kofi 10 years ago

    when we go to church we should put our focus on God and not the dress or lack of dressing of women. If you feel tempted then the man should search his heart whether it is lust or not

  • Dr. SAS, Attorney at Law 10 years ago

    You should focus on ethics and code of conduct and leave women's clothes to women. They don't tell men what to wear to protect their female libido. The orgiastic ego of men should not become the yardstick for women's fashion ...

    Is something taken out of context? Who did? Answer that to yourself?

    Jesus!

    I must be mad because I never thought I was ever going to agree with anything this "Dr SAS" wrote about but I must admit this one pulled me over that "line" into his corner.

  • Kofi Ata, Cambridge, UK 10 years ago

    Dr SAS, I agree with you. The author seems to be blaming women for his inability to control himself. I suggest if his dick gets him into trouble then he should cut off or get castrated and leave women alone.

    Why should men ...

    Another self righteous who thinks he can tell women what to wear to church. If you are not a pevert masquerading as the teacher

  • Rans 10 years ago

    I agree 100% with Pastor Otabil. Jesus made it clear and I will like to paraphrase it, the healthy does not need a physician. Jesus came for the sinners and not the righteous. Many unbelievers would like to come to church but ...

  • zewuze 10 years ago

    Mr. Yeboah, I think u missed the point. What Otabil meant was that allow the ladies in the mini-skirts come to the church and when the |Holy Spirit started working in and on them, nobody is going to tell them to stop wearing ...

    When a prostitute was about to be stoned Jesus asked those hypocrites to allow the one who had not sinned before to throw the first stone. All those hypocrites vanished. Our weather is hot. Allow the women to feel free.

    Ghanaians are fools. And Ghanaians who go to all these stupid churches are fools.

    Kwame, keep it up. I wish all our people still have this pressure relieving humor. Times are hard, but souls like you make the journey easy and worth it. God bless you and stay well.

    The spirit of God does not dwell among sinners. I'm a living example. I lost the Holy spirit due to my lust for women. I remember when He was leaving, He spoke to me in a tone that demonstrated how disappointed He was in me.

    jesus said "the healthy(upright, covered up, righteous, moralistic) do not need doctors; its the sick (the mini skirt wearers, prostitutes, thieves, liers, gossips etc)that need a doctor.

  • Kumi 10 years ago

    Don't misunderstand the Pastor.

    Let them come in their "pioto's" as my late father called mini dresses. When they realised that the other ladies are decently dressed they would feel shy and stop. It has been happening. ...

    These are the hypocrites who inwardly admire the mini skirts and their wearers. However pretends to frown on it for people to see that he is holier than Jesus Christ. You pharisee get behind Jesus.

  • Nanasei 10 years ago

    So, what's wrong with that Titugri? Free your mind and think about the numerous problems we have in Ghana right now, not mini skirt, ok? Some of us even see worst than mini skirts in churches, but who cares???? I don't!!

    If you were a preacher to a tribe where they dont wear clothes are you going to tell them to wear clothes before they come to church?

  • Peter 10 years ago

    Rev Otabil is right.Anyone with any style of dress can attend church but as preaching goes on and on,it changes the person in many diverse ways.We should stop judging people.God look at the heart not appearance.
