Founder and General Overseer of the International God's Way church, Bishop Daniel Obinim says he is unperturbed by the recent public criticism of his actions since, �even, sinless Jesus was criticized�. Using a biblical anecdote to explain his point, the controversial pastor said: �Even Jesus who never married or had sex with anyone was accused of rape and several other crimes at his trial, before his death �. He added: "Even more painful, when the account of his death was being written, Isaiah (Prophet), wrote that he was counted among the sinners and even rapists.� �If you are a man or woman here, why must you be worried about what is written against you? Even Him (Jesus) was accused. What was more painful against him was the rape charge; when He never married,� he told his congregation in a televised service on Saturday. He noted: �God will intervene for us, I won�t speak again�. Obinim, was last week involved in a war-of-words with famous TV personality, Afia Schwarzenegger. Schwarzenegger took on the founder of the International God�s Way Church in a devastating fashion last week, dressing down the pastor as fake, corrupt and a disgrace to the Ashanti region where they both hail. Her vituperative attack widely circulated on social media and Youtube came after the pastor insulted her during a church service to the delight of his congregation.
