Media aide of Bishop Daniel Obinim-Joseph Osei Oppong Brenya has justified Obinim’s whipping of two of his church members, using the Bible as his source of justification.
GhanaCelebrities.Com reached out to Joseph Osei Oppong Brenya in the morning for comments and straightforward, he sent us this:
“Proverbs 13:24 Whoever spares the rod hates their children, but the one who loves their children is careful to discipline them.”
He also spoke on Joy Fm, quoting the same verse and saying, “As a father if your child goes wrong you have to discipline them to serve as a deterrent to others.”
As to how the situation came about, Brenya said the guy seen in the video impregnated the lady and then she proceeded to abort the baby.
“Impregnating the lady is not the problem but terminating it, which is very bad. And as a man of God he [Obinim] will not tolerate such action in his church or even among his children and that is why he called and punished them to serve as a deterrent to others who will want to engage in things like that.” he said.
“He [the boy] bought drugs and gave it to the young lady to terminate the pregnancy; any father on this earth will take that action. The girl nearly lost her life,” he claimed.
As to the two being adults enough to engage in such acts, Mr Brenya said regardless of their age, they were still the Bishops children.
And once they are under the bishop’s care he has the right to choose any form of punishment to be metered out to them when they go wrong, he added.
Brenya continued, Bishop Obinim “pays their bills and everything they need is provided for by the pastor and their family is aware of this.”
“We should condemn what triggered the bishop’s action not what he did. The earlier we try to see things the right way, the better for us,” he stated.
“We should avoid negative agenda and propaganda to destroy the man of God but rather what triggered his action,” Mr Brenya added.
