“Can You Pray at the Sepulchre of a Saint?” Let’s cut to the chase: The real issue isn’t location—it’s intention. The Real Problem The Selpuchre controversy? It’s not about praying there—it’s about what people think is happening there. Some genuinely pray to God there—seeking inspiration, comfort, and connection to the legacy of a saint. Others, unfortunately, drift into worship of the grave itself—and that’s where confusion (and accusations of necromancy) creep in. But let’s be honest: Most of the people shouting "necromancy!" Heard it from someone else, Saw a few clips online, And ran with half-baked theology without spiritual discernment. --- Let’s Clear It Up: Prayer at a grave = Reflective, reverent, and biblically supported. Worship or summoning the dead = Necromancy. Spiritually dangerous. Full stop. Even the early Church prayed near tombs of saints—not to the dead, but to God, honoring His work through them. --- Now Let’s Talk CCC: Celestial Church of Christ is Spirit-led, Bible-rooted, and legacy-driven. SBJ Oshoffa didn’t need a theology degree to shake nations with spiritual insight and establish a divine order that still stands strong 40+ years after his passing. You want facts? Here: Biggest white garment church worldwide Founded by a Black man Still growing and glowing decades later Checkmate. --- Scholar Talk? Let’s just say… not every “Bible scholar” is Spirit-filled. Too much head, not enough heart. Too much Greek and Hebrew, not enough Holy Ghost. God uses the foolish things to confound the wise—and if you know, you know. --- Personal Story Time: I once heard a scholar mock Methuselah—the oldest man in Scripture. Called him "useless" because there’s no “mighty deed” recorded in his name. But God never called him useless. So who are you to condemn who the Bible never did? __ Back to Imeko... I was there. I bowed at the altar before the sepulchre—because it’s not about the grave, it’s about God’s presence. And let’s be real: Imeko is holy ground. There's an altar before the gate. Candles. Lampstands. Structure. And it was declared a place of pilgrimage by SBJ himself. So where were the “theological police” back then? Now you suddenly pop up yelling “necromancy”? Double standard. --- Bottom Line: You can pray at the sepulchre of a saint. You must not worship the saint or the site. Prayer is your line to God. Worship is your surrender to Him. One speaks to God. The other bows before Him. And if you’re in Celestial, you know this: SBJ is our saint—but Jesus is our Savior. We pray to the One who sent him, not the man himself. --- Key takeaway: “Location never determines holiness—intention does.” Hallelujah. God is Love.
