– Harrison Ayintete Questions Jewish Symbols In Christian Worship
Apostle Harrison Ayintete has sparked discussion within Christian circles after raising concerns about the increasing adoption of Jewish symbols, Hebrew expressions, and cultural elements in contemporary worship practices.
Speaking during a recent teaching session, the cleric questioned why some believers appear to place significant emphasis on Hebrew names, phrases, and traditions as part of their spiritual expression.
He argued that faith in Christ should not be measured by the use of foreign cultural symbols or languages.

Referencing the popular worship chant “Baruch Hashem Adonai” by gospel minister Dunsin Oyekan, Harrison suggested that the growing attraction to Hebrew terminology reflects a broader trend within sections of the Church.
He questioned whether such practices are necessary for authentic Christian worship and warned against equating spiritual depth with the adoption of Jewish cultural expressions.
According to him, the message of Christianity transcends ethnic and cultural boundaries, making it accessible to people of every language and background.
He emphasized that believers can approach God sincerely without feeling compelled to adopt symbols or traditions associated with another culture.

Others also argued that the use of Hebrew names and biblical phrases can enrich worship by connecting believers to the historical and scriptural roots of the faith.
