FLAMBOYANT church leader and socialite, Prophet Passion Java torched a storm on social media when he showed o tattoos engraved on his chest.
The tattoos are of an angel and Arabic writings on his two
arms in a video in which he also parades an “armoury”.
Passion, who is not new to controversy, claimed the riffles
were worth US$150 000. The video attracted mixed feelings, with some accusing
Passion of crossing the line while others justified his actions.
Zimbabwean lawyer Jairos Katsande said it was high time
people should take action against Passion.
“I have oftentimes said Passion should just stick to
promoting music and comedy and not give himself the title of being a prophet.
“The bible is clear in the book of Leviticus that engraving
the body with tattoos is unGodly, but to my surprise, a preacher of the gospel
with hundreds of thousands of followers brags on social media about having
tattoos.
“By showing o guns what is he trying to teach? What does he
do that needs him to have so many guns? Even
in America where he stays, one cannot possess such powerful riffles in a house
basement.
“I think this issue should be handled with the seriousness
it deserves. He has to produce if he has all the relevant documents for those
guns. It’s high time now as a nation we stand and stop this young man from
promoting this kind of culture.
“We can’t deny that he is one of the most influential young
men in our country and we have kids who see him as a role model so he now needs
to be stopped,” he said.
Prophet Passion’s personal assistant, popularly known as Boss Lashan, said he was surprised by the negativity that the video has met.
“I think our nation needs healing. there is so much hate
and unnecessary criticism amongst ourselves.
People should understand that Prophet Passion is not just a preacher of
the gospel, he is multi-talented and one of his talents is making skits for
social media.
“This is not the first video where he came out with guns,
but for some reason people chose to attack him on this one. This pull-him-down
syndrome has to stop and for your own information, Prophet Passion is not going
to stop making skits on social media,” he said. H Metro
