'Hypocrisy is one of the biggest problems in christianity' - RMD

Nollywood veteran Richard Mofe-Damijo popularly known as RMD has identified hypocrisy as one of the main problems that the church faces.

Appearing as a guest on Teju Babyface's 'King of Talks' podcast, the actor expressed his unusual beliefs regarding God and Christianity.

He said: "My idea of Christ in today's world and how we should embrace him is probably not very traditional. But I think the Lord says 'That's why I brought you here.' so I stir quite a bit of controversy everywhere I speak. I think that I am appointed for a time like this, to do it unconventionally."

"Someone was telling me about someone doing a podcast about faith and stardom and I said I'd love to do that. Why? Because of the way Christians are wired. We were wired to think that the spirit of excellence should not be in you being a distiller. They think that a distiller of whiskey shouldn't be called a Christian. Why? It's a craft."

According to RMD, the ability of Christians to enter the church exactly as they are is the fundamental aspect of Christianity.

He added: "People built boats in the period that Christ lived. People owned vineyards and produced all the best wines in the area at the time. If they wanted to be followers of Christ, they could. That's the whole essence of following Christ. Come as you are."

"People are meant to come as they are. You can't stop people from coming to Christ the way that they are. it's when they come that their renewal starts. So let them come and then function in the societies where they find themselves in a way that can bring people to Christ without being hypocritical. I think that's one of the biggest problems of today's church. It's hypocrisy."
