Olatosho Oshoffa, the son of the founder of the Celestial Church of Christ, Worldwide, Bilewu Oshoffa,has defended his father's large family and the practice of polygamy in the church.
Olatosho Oshoffa, the son of the founder of the Celestial Church of Christ, Worldwide, Bilewu Oshoffa,The shepherd of CCC International Headquarters, Ketu, Lagos, said the church never forbids polygamy, because no prophets in the Bible had one wife.He said, “Can I tell you something… ? You see, in that scripture, Paul was only advising. Tell me in the Bible, which prophet of God had only one wife? Do your research and tell me.
“He married them , and they were all under his roof. But today, the so-called men of God with only one wife will have concubines outside. “This means he used that girdle of love to tie us together. So we don’t see ourselves as children of our various mothers but as children of Oshoffa. That is the same way we related when he was still in this world and has been doing after his demise.
“Now, when the founder of this church departed, the same way Jesus Christ departed, there were troubles among the apostles about who would lead.
