War Of Words Erupts Between Zim Church Leaders Over Pastors For ED Movement
There’s a clash of theological theories between controversial cleric Passion Java and Celebration Church leader Pastor Tom Deuschle.
In a video making rounds on social media, Deuschle is seen trashing Pastors for ED movement which endorses President Emmerson Mnangagwa to assume office in the upcoming elections.
In his argument, Deuschle said church leaders can only be pastors for Christ not politicians.

Before being a pastor you are a citizen, and part of being a citizen is to choose who leads you. Part of the reason why some countries have poor governance may be because they are led by people who may struggle with moral and spiritual issues. As such, I would imagine pastors must be very instrumental in governance.

I don’t know where in the Bible it is written pastors should mix up with politics, in some way what he’s saying is totally true

In fact we should be asking why pastors are not more involved in running the country, to give it spiritual and moral guidance…

My take is Panganai ndiye ataurwa apa haachasi munhu wa Mwari ave kuto contester mu Party
But Java on the other hand argued that there is nothing wrong with church leaders aligning themselves with political parties as leaders are chosen by God.
