Controversial media personality Daddy Freeze has once again sparked controversy, this time asserting that Nigerian pastors do not genuinely understand scripture.

In a recent video circulating online, Daddy Freeze argued that although many Nigerian pastors frequently quote the Bible, they fail to fully understand the scriptures in their proper context and often misinterpret the holy book.

“I believe pastors should apply scholarliness to doctrine. I took my time to study it, and when I say study scripture I mean study. I have not met a Nigerian pastor that knows scriptures. They might know the Bible, but they don't know scripture.”

According to the controversial personality, understanding the Bible requires more than just reading popular translations like the King James Version. He emphasized the importance of scholarly depth in truly grasping its meaning.

“There is what you call the scholarly consensus, which means they've sat down with the papyrus, sat with the original scriptures and what's left of it and they've been able to agree with its data. Do you understand what I'm telling you?. You can't tell me that you know the Bible because you have studied the King James from the beginning to the end. Until you study in the original languages, you don't know scripture.”

The statement, unsurprisingly, sparked a many reactions online:

“Well, I agree with Daddy Freeze on this one. Even Bible verses, many of the pastors don't know. They only know the verses that enrich them or exert control on others.”

“So Daddy Freeze or whatever they call him is now now the mostly knowledgeable in scriptures and some ignorant people here are already twerking for him because they are tossed by everything that sounds attractive like no pastor in Nigeria knows scriptures Look who’s talking.”

"Is it about scriptures , or Making sure the spirit of the Holy Ghost leads you on what to preach or teach. If you read the Bible with a carnal mind, you will never understand anything."
