Pastor Tunde Ayeni’s recent sermon asserting that genuine platonic relationships between men and women are impossible has sparked mixed reactions.
The lead preacher of Graceville Christian Center in Abuja has gained notoriety for his viral sermon, in which he argued that it is unfeasible to maintain a purely innocent friendship with the opposite gender without developing romantic or sexual feelings.
The controversial views expressed by Pastor Tunde Ayeni have ignited a heated debate among online users, with many arguing that it is entirely natural for individuals of different genders to uphold innocent relationships.
Here are some reactions to the video
melanin_ruth stated: “I have a male friend of over 14 years now and I can tell you for a fact that there’s nothing more than friendship to us, not everybody is promiscuous”
judahadeyemi asked: “Did you guys listen to what he said last at all? He said “If you don’t feel hurt after realizing that your opposite sex friend has moved on marital-wise, YOU CAN NOW BE FRIENDS” 📌💯”
napysure claimed: “That’s a big lie, you don’t sleep with everyone. Everyone is not the same, people should stop using themselves as a yardstick for general behavioural patterns.”
creativeoliver said: “Ladies don’t li
ke this discussion because they think they know it all. You don’t know what goes through the mind of guys but you do dey deceive yourself say you know, dey play 😂”
bubie_marie added: “I genuinely wish that our fathers of the faith would focus on the gospel instead of their own opinions. Jesus was friends with Mary Magdalena and yet he was a virgin who NEVER TOUCHED HER, He had lots of females who were around him, who were his friends. If you’re a sexually depraved man who can’t see women as more than sex objects then just say that.”
