This, as far as Obadiah can tell, is not a spoof but an extreme example of a church getting carried away with their sense of importance, and their superior spirituality. Whatever caused it, they seem to think the Jesus turned up in person at a Pentecost Sunday meeting.
Does Obadiah really need to say “stay away?”
NOTE: the Facebook post above has been amended to add the words “in a vision” – that is to retract the claim that Jesus was there.

Worth remembering: Peter Jensen at the Royal Commission into the Instiutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse. “One of the things that we’ve often done in the Church is when a person has fallen into gross public sin of some sort, we’ve stood them down for some years and then taken them back, whereas I would want to say, “No, true repentance means your willingness not to go back.” And I believe we shouldn’t take them back.

Oh, honey: The man has been invading Obadiah’s web feed, spruiking a health drink derived from a Biblical recipe.
The big claim is that there is “no Alzheimer’s in Israel.”
Ahem. Here’s what the science says – keeping to Obadiah’s rule of peer-reviewed studies in Pub med sources.
it only took numble fingered Obadiah to find this “The prevalence of dementia delineated by age and gender in Israel resembles those found in other developed nations.”
The study, “Prevalence and comorbidities of dementia in Israel: A nationally representative cohort study” was published in International Psychogeriatrics Volume 31, Issue 7, July 2019, and is also on the Science Direct website.
David Vaka saw a vision on that night. He has since amended his FB post.
