Efia Odo, the popular Ghanaian actress and media personality has revealed that she stopped going to church because she does not understand what Christianity is all about.
The Kwese TV presenter admitted believing in the existence of God and Jesus Christ but stated that Christianity is complex as there are so many contradictory dogmas and sects within the Christendom. “I used to attend church when i was young, i would follow my mum to church but as i grow up, i stopped attending church because I don’t really understand what this religion is all about" she said.
On being controversial, Efia Odo said in the interview on Hitz FM;
” I am not controversial. I think I am myself in a different land. It’s your choice to believe my truth or not. That speaks more about you than me. Because you want to hear and believe the negative”

Sometimes I weep within me when I hear such things as this. You see more Churches dotted across the country which are mostly full of worshipers on Sundays and what are these worshipers taught by the leaders of the these churches? Some of these pastors are there to provide instant miracles without teaching the the people the truth of the Bible all they are interested is MONEY MONEY MONEY..so do you blame this lady out of nothing? My lady I pray God leads you to a true pastor to handle all your seeming confusions and I trust God on this. May Jehovah help you.
I really understand your dilemma and confusion but it is all because you have not been properly taught about the scriptures and it may be that either you have not availed yourself or you were not taught well. There is NO contradictions in the the BIBLE none whatsoever. People have created their on theories out of the WORD and leading many people astray. You need to understand the various dispensations of the Scriptures regarding God's relationship with mankind. I wish to have a private chat with you via email so I can have enough time for discussion on this matter. You can reach me on [email protected] thank you.
Its not about church but salvation through christ and a personal relation with Christ. When we dont want to leave our confortable sinful life, we see christianity as confusing and restrictive. God does niot need prostitutes, robbers, husband and wife snatchers and sin in heaven. So if you believe in Jesus Christ then obey what he says! Then christianity will be meaningful to you. That is what born-again is all about, my dear. Any good thing has counterfeits. that is why christianity is being attacked here and there!
The Gospel of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishinh
Efia Odo is right. Unfortunately, most Ghanaians don't want to hear the truth. Christianity is full of contradictions. Some Christians believe that Jesus is God; others say that he is God's son; and yet still others say that he is both father and son? I mean, how? And so if Jesus is father and son, then it means that Mary is God's mother. Eiii! Does God have a mother? Can you imagine God, the Almighty God, being born into this world, roaming naked as a child, poo pooing as both a child and an adult, urinating, sleeping, eating, drinking and being insulted and even being KILLED by mere mortals? What kind of God is this? Some Christians say Jesus was born on Christmas day, others say he was not born on that day, etc. etc. I could go on and on and on and on and on…...Some much confusion, so many contradictions, so much controversy. Efia Odo is right. I am also faced with the same dilemma, and am on my way to Islam, which appears to be the very true religion of God.
PeaceFM, the title of this article is an error..."I stopped going to church because I don't really understated what Christianity is all about....Like really. Did you mean to say "understand?" Don't you have editors who can edit the write-ups even for a moment? Shamefully sad especially when this is world wide news.
thousands and millions convert from Islam to Christianity but media will not write. let someone say something against Christianity media will carry it like the world cup, anyway the best is always talked about. I don't blame them converting from the other side must be kept in secrecy for the safety of the lives of those people their own family can do them harm
Christianity is about salvation. And salvation is delivering you from sin,the domain of Satan and saving you from eternal destruction. The bible says in 2 Corinthians 5: 10 "For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, that each one may receive the things done in the body, according to what he has done, whether good or bad". John 3: 16, For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten son that whosoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life including you. PLEASE ACCEPT JESUS INTO YOUR LIFE AS YOUR LORD AND SAVOIR AND BE SAVED TODAY. TIME IS NOT WAITING FOR YOU PLEASE.
...and did you seek answers to what you didn't and don't understand? In simple term, Christianity is all about submitting your WILL to God through his Son Yuashua Amashia (JESUS) and obey HIS word and commandments by the help of the HOLY SPIRIT so that you will receive SALVATION. This is because "it is appointed unto man to die once and after that judgement" -Heb.9:27. All will be judged one day according to everyone's works and life. Please go back to your God he's ready to receive you don't be deceived anymore.
Christianity is about the salvation of your soul. It is not a religion. It is provision for the redemption of our soul from the coming damnation. Everyone will die but after death there's judgement. ( And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgement. Hebrews 9:27)
