Abel Damina, in a recent sermon, challenged the traditional interpretation of the biblical story of the first human creatures Adam and Eve, famously stating, “Adam and Eve didn’t eat anything… Were you there?”
This statement has ignited reactions on social media with people challenging the pastor for misleading people. For centuries, the story of Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden has been understood as humanity’s first act of disobedience, eating the forbidden fruit from the Tree of Knowledge.

However, Dr. Damina’s statement questions whether the act was either raw or a scenario to teach believers a lesson about disobedience.
Damina’s comment implies that the fruit represent something deeper than physical consumption, urging listeners to rethink long-held beliefs and fact-check to know the truth.
This statement immediately got people talking as many critics expressed their disagreements. Arguing that his statement dismisses the Bible’s clear narrative and could affect the faith of his followers.
“Why complicate a straightforward story?” a critic asked while others accused him of trying to stir controversy for attention.
