SHOCKING VIDEO: Damina Claims Adam and Eve Ate Nothing, Cigar Isn’t A Sin
Pastor Abel Damina, founder of Abel Damina Ministries and Power City International, sparked controversy with his recent sermon, where he challenged the traditional understanding of Adam and Eve’s sin in the Garden of Eden.
During his New Year’s Eve sermon, Damina stated, “Adam and Eve ate nothing. Adam and Eve didn’t eat anything. Were you there? You were not there. So how do we know whether they ate something or not? Jesus was there. Was Jesus there in the Garden of Eden? Yes. Can Jesus explain to us what happened? Yes.”
Eagles Sight News reports that Damina referenced Mark 7:18-21 in the Bible to argue that a person’s dietary choices do not determine their sinful nature. He emphasized, “Do you not know that if Adam and Eve ate something, they would not be sinners? It is not what people eat that makes them sinners. It is not what you eat. You cannot be a sinner by eating or drinking something.”

Damina also addressed the topic of smoking and drinking, saying, “I’ve told you alcohol is not a sin. I’ve told you cigar is not a sin. If you like put it on newspaper headline, I said it.” However, he clarified that he was not promoting these behaviors, adding, “Am I saying you should smoke? You should have sense from your father’s house to know that cigar will cut short your life.”
He further cautioned, “Am I saying you should drink alcohol? You should know that if you drink alcohol, you will lie down inside a gutter. Your shirt and trousers will disappear. You should have the sense to know that.”
According to Damina, the true source of corruption lies within an individual’s heart, not in their external actions. He explained, “If they (Adam and Eve) ate, it’ll go to their stomach. It’ll digest and go to toilet. They’ll be free.”
Damina concluded, “There’s nothing a man eats that enters his heart. It’ll go to the digestive system and it’ll go out somehow. It is what comes out of a man that defiles a man not what goes in. What makes you a sinner is what you’re thinking not what you’re eating.”
