Leo Dasilva condemns people who call pastors “dad, spiritual father”

reality star, Leo DaSilva openly criticizes believers who refer to them pastors with names like “dad”, “spiritual father” and others, which caused mixed feelings among social media users.

In a post on social media platform X, Leo expressed concern over such expressions, calling them “red flag.”

“My dad, ‘my spiritual dad’, ‘my father in the Lord’ to describe your pastor is a red flag,” wrote Leo, questioning the need for such intimate labels for religious leaders.

In a subsequent post, Leo explained that his two-year journey through theological school was a personal quest to gain a deeper understanding of Scripture.

He emphasized that true love for God should inspire people to seek knowledge on their own, and not rely on others for their faith.

“I went to theology for 2 years not because I wanted to become a pastor, but to understand the word of God even more.

“If you claim to love God, you yourself will try to learn about God. It’s like saying you love someone you don’t even know. Don’t be a sheep to everything.” he added.

Leo’s remarks drew mixed reactions, with some fans applauding his stance on the independent exploration of faith, while others defended the gentle titles as a sign of respect.

Leo Dasilva’s reaction to those who call the pastor “Dad”

Ubonge1105 expressed the opinion: “If you get too religious, we’ll definitely have problems. I’m not saying you don’t respect your pastor. But daddy is not. I remember when Lesekese came to our hood recently as omo adugbon. We started going there, we were told to contact him by dad. I said dad is home. .”

jesse_siri said: “Paul always called Timothy his son born in the Lord (son in the Lord). Paul was Timothy’s spiritual father.”

Victor ivy reacted: “African mothers are used to it. Nna mhen una no get papa? Are you all orphans?”

Soft Miracle Diva noted: “But you can call your traditional ruler His Royal Highness, but when I call Jerry Ez’s dad my father, that’s a problem. Stop it, Leo.”
