Breaking: Pipim implicated in affair, gender of paramour unknown

This is to brother Hashimoto and those who are jesting at Pr. Pipim: You might have disagreed with him concerning his theological conviction but that doesn't make you or him to cease to be God's children. We all have one goal - to participate in the first resurrection and be with Jesus in the New Jerusalem. As christians, all you ought to do is to pray to Pr. for God to restore him in the fold. It is a fact he has fallen, and many of us too have fallen in one way or another. Even though we are christians, none can claim to be sinless and due to this, it's unfair to hit Pr. Pipim that hard because we will be deceiving ourselves. After his fall, he admitted it, resigned and termed himself as 'a wounded eagle', it's true he's wounded spiritually and need time to heal from his wounds. Laughing, mocking and jesting at him only makes matters worse. We are all in a great controversy, in which satan is always aiming to bring us down, and when he succeeds he rejoices exceedingly while  heaven becomes sad. Mocking your fellow christian who has fallen is joining ranks with satan in his work of gathering souls to his side. Let's take a hue from King David, even though he was utterly wronged by King Saul, he never thought of harming him to a point whereby he lamented bitterly when he heard of his death in battle. It will be good if we pray and console Pr. Pipim. By doing this, we will be building or spiritual defenses to ward off satan's deceptive and hateful devices from proliferating in us. Let' s take time to love one another. 1 Cor. 13.

@ McOoko

We are so quick to point fingers at the man of God, forgetting that he is human and susceptible to falling. Pastor Pipim is no angel. Instead of pointing fingers we should pray for him and those wronged.

Hello. I was raised listening to Pipim, Hohnberger, and many like them. I wore long dresses and never missed a Sabbath service or a prayer meeting. I really dont care who has sex with whom or who has a "moral failure" because I discovered a long time ago that Christians are terribly two-faced! For example, look at your own comments: @Sinnersavedbygrace, you leave a scathing reply to Mr. Giovanni about how he ought not to judge Mr. Pipim, and he needs to be "dipped in a crimson flood" Sir, I am 19 years old and I may not be worlds greatest genius, but while accusing one of judging, you have placed yourself on a pedestal and judged that he needs to "tuck his tail in and humble HIMSELF." Take a look in the mirror please. @Servantofgod: You do the exact same thing! Hey... you might want to edit your names too guys, I dont want to be a Servant of God OR Saved by grace! Welcome to Christianity folks, this is life. I believe in God, but I DO NOT BELIEVE IN MAN! Which is why I am an agnostic. The end.

Happily God does not see as men see, otherwise people would send their fellows to hell.

wait a minute, are we gonna leave Pastor Pipim away just like that ... when a child fails mum and dad and later goes to confess and ask for forgivenenn, what parent will throw that child out forever i dont think is possible, besides God is a forgiving God. time is running out on us, we need Pastor to continue His ministry on earth to bring light to the dark world that is raging the heart of young Seventh-Day Adventist. i think Pastor should continue inpiring through the direction of God...only God should judge.

This is the true mark of a leader, i for once, never was dissappointed at Pastor rather am very much strenghtened, we are all sinful humans liable to any form of temptation. i think is time for Pastor Pipim to be reinstated to his Ministry because from all indications he is a true leader.. Collins Ndubueze Njoku,

"Another conservative religious leader bites the dust following a sexual scandal."

Quite the opposite. How many of you "saints" did the same thing? He left with dignity, admitting that he sinned.  A saint is not a flawless man, but a man that admits his sin and pray more to God

"its particularly ironic when it comes from fundamentalist leaders who obsessively rail against what they consider “immorality.”

Nothing ironic, it's reality. The harder you try to be good, the more you are tempted. Satan does not waste too much with those who are already his. He concentrates his efforts on those who are harder to get.

SKP hasnt been silent....He that is without sin among you(us),let him first cast a stone at her(him). People we need the LORD.

Also. The earth is screaming out to all of its inhabitants that its time is coming to an end. For those of us who know scripture this means that Jesus will be here soon. So to all people that are blessed to receive messages and insight from God while reading His word and want to share those blessings with the rest of us so that ultimately Gods plan of redemption (that was created to save ALL humans-yes...even the ones that we fight/disagree with) is successful instead of the devils plan of destruction (to have all humans destroyed with him)...I have two messages for you

1. Please do not let this discourage you as you choose to let God use you to save as many of us from the devils ultimate plan as possible. However, in order to protect yourselves and not have the purity of Gods word tainted with our weak humanity, I would like to suggest anonymous sharing of the light that God sends your way, unless otherwise specified by God when giving you that light. That way you can have your personal relationship with God-up and down- and not have the world watch you when he forgives you when you mess up (and since you are human you most likely will). Gods plan is going to move forward no matter how many of us fall along the way and no matter how distracted by someones shortcomings we may be. The message of love from God is pure, and steadfast, our human weakness does not change its potency, our inability to reflect God accurately does not change who He is....and if we fail to proclaim the message the rocks will begin to do our job for us...

2. We wrestle not against flesh and blood but principalities and powers. Before you get angry with someone remember that God died for them too-if you are of God then your goal is to save them too-His blood is more than sufficient for them. The goal is to have them aligned with Gods will. You may think that you are fighting them. They may think THEY are fighting you. But the devil has an agenda that he has been working towards from the second he stepped foot on our planet and took away our paradise from us-to seperate us from God our creator and to make us suffer the same fate he is destined to suffer. When all is said and done, and this earth is purged of sin, the only things that will remain are People, God, and the eternal life that he purchased for us. This fight is for all of those things. Try not to lose sight of that. Our disdain of one another will not be there, our class systems wont be there, or finances, houses, mistakes, and certain belief systems wont be there. Just God, people and eternal life. So as you argue with people remember you are fighting FOR them too-their salvation was already bought and paid for! And when you pray, lift them up in prayer as well....Remembering that you may be fighting a battle but all of our battles fall under the war of God vs. the devil....

King James Bible (Cambridge Ed.)2 Peter3:9 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.

I dont know exactly what Dr. Pipim did, or what he has said in the past. But I know who God is...the creator of the universe...Our Savior...and Our Redeemer....His power to create/recreate/save/grow/love...etc..etc..is ALWAYS more powerful than any sin that we commit...the ONLY thing that can ever prevent his power from redeeming us is our choice not to repent and let Him do the work that He loves to do in our lives. That being said...if Dr. Pipim truly repents and lets God rule in his life, no words, belief systems or judgment from any human, no past acts that he has committed will be able to overpower the forgiveness of God...so anyone who wants to waste their precious time judging him for things in his past when our creator extends forgiveness to him is not very wise.....

ONE CANNOT SPEAK OR TEACH OF THOSE THINGS WITHOUT KNOWING ABOUT THEM.“Jesus... He has promised to send pastors to do His work. He will send those who have fallen and know firsthand the importance of repentance. One cannot speak or teach of those things without knowing about them. He reminds me how the Herald showed me Pipim and Hohnberger and others like them. These are teachers who teach according to God’s instructions. I was shown how they and others have been forgiven and stand ready to do a great work.....Jesus instructs that...

Giovanni I really pray that the LORD has touched you because you too need to be dipped in that crimson flood. And before you go saying I am hating on you, i am not but I am thoroughly disgusted by how low some people like you can go. Ever read "Though your sins be as red as scarlet they shall be as white as snow"? So what if Dr Pipim fell? Are you God? Didnt Jesus die for all our sins? Are you without sin? You should be ashamed of yourself and resist the devil for the bible says he will flee from you. You set out to inspire disgust against the man of God. But you know what? The joke is on you!!!!! He still is a man of God and the message he preached came not from him but from God and had the power to inspire a whole world of young people.

So my dear tuck your tail in and humble yourself as this man did. For even in his fall he has managed to show the true character of Christ. The same can not be said about you who is supposedly still standing. I rest my case.

Giovanni...lol. I laugh but it is no joke. You judge and condemn a man who has sought nothing less to do than to teach the truth of the gospel and 'read the plain text', sola scriptura. I have read Mr. Pipim's writings and from what i have thus read, they are in harmony with the bible and also with Sister White's writings. Reviewing some of the comments made here i realise there are two factions. Those who condemn unlovingly of which i see you are and those who in love rebuke KP's actions acknowledging that he as themselves are recipients of the grace of God. Your actions young man are not God's intentions. Yours are being weighed in the balance. You who judge. Have you no ears to hear. Judge not that you be not judged. You expect God to have mercy on you when you show no mercy but trample upon the servant of the Lord. Touch not the Lord's annointed. I sincerely fear for your soul young man. The slander you encourage even discretely. God shall abase you if you do not take stock of your actions and see the wrong you are promoting. " Free speech" my foot. You think you are at liberty to say what you want...well know that your every word is judged! Fear God my friend. Fear God and you shall be wise!

Christ died for everyone and that includes Pipim, Giovanni and me. Pipim is not God to warrant so much discussion about his fall. Who knows what sins other public figures we like commit? Fact is, we are not entitled to knowing; they sin against their God and he is the one that deals with them. I'm sure, with our attitude, some of us would have cast the 1st stone if we were in the crowd after the lady had been caught in adultery. Don't try to look good or holy by highlighting other people's sins. I'm happy that God is the one who judges, and does so fairly. It doesn't matter how much we say about the brother, we can never influence God's judgment in the matter though we can certainly manage to get everyone against Ps Pipim.

Why don't we just let the devil be the devil, he's good at it. You don't have to help him do more harm. God be with you and your family Pastor. May he even be with those who rejoice in this.

How I wish this was only a dream, then I would have loved to wake up. I could not believe my ears when I heard about this, so I could not wait to read from the net to ascertain the truthfulness of it. It’s indeed true, but wait a minute, could God be teaching us a lesson from this. As sad as it is, the good news is always sure; HIS MARVELOUS GRACE IS GIVEN TO ALL WHO SEE THE NEED FOR IT. To Satan, Rejoice not over his fall, Our Heavenly Father is ready to, and have accepted and re-instated him just like the prodigal son. Pastor Pipim, our prayers are with you and your family. In the sight of men, you have resigned but I believe strongly that in God's sight, you are still in service. We are proud of you for publicly admitting your faults and seeking to make it right with God and men

Dr. Pipim is harsh, legalistic and judgmental. He says and believes many things I have trouble agreeing that Jesus (knowing His character) would say or believe. I pity the man, his religion seems like one full of bitterness, fear, and insecurity.

The cult-like atmosphere of his ministry and its supporters concerns me as well... how vicious and hateful they are towards those who do not take their hard-line fundamentalist positions, but how quick they are to forgive their "backslidden" idol (a word Dr. Pipim loves to use against those who simply disagree with him, regardless of the sincerity of their faith). His public "apology" over the incident is cheapened by his insistence that there are people happy to see him fall... why does he have such an 'us vs. them' mentality? He is the one pitting himself against others!

He yells in his "sermons" about how those who eat certain things or those who question certain points of doctrine can't be Adventists, but can someone who flagrantly violates one of the 10 commandments still be Adventist? I consider the 10 commandments much more important than SDA doctrine, because they are the cornerstone of the Law of Liberty, how we should love God and each other. Pipim might be good about keeping the Sabbath and not eating pork, but he did not keep the basic law of love for his family or God. Those things must come first.

I hope there will be good that comes out of this situation, and that Dr. Pipim will humble himself and find that the Lord's forgiveness stretches so much further than he preaches. Hopefully, he will extend God's limitless grace to those he has hurt as well, both in his personal life and through his misguided teachings.

You brainwashed my daughter; she believed you so much so that she followed you to everywhere . She traveled to Arizona to sell your books without telling her parents; you were bold enough to coach her to say "you are 18, your parents can't do you anything".
Almighty God does not sleep.

I'm very sorry for you.You were a fake pastor. How could you allow youself to be tempted by a woman? Where was your wife?
Do you know because of you my daughter refused to further her education? My daughter told me in plain words "you are not my spiritual father, you are not pastor pipim, leave me alone"
I wonder what my daughter will say now. Those who rise by sin, fall by sin.
Thank you for spoiling Dora.

Pastor Pipim dealt with so many subjects including homosexuality. Are you doing this to Pastor Pipim so the world could see you as a saint and portray him as the greatest sinner ever live on planet earth. What actually is your aim, goal, and objective. By the way are you an Adventist or the agent of the accuser of the brethren. Well do not make mistake if Dr. Samuel Koranteng Pipim is sent by God Almighty, it will not be hard for Him to produce several of his kind to protect His church

I praise God that he died for all of us and in our weakest point he calls us back to HIS fold....alot may be said about Dr Pipim but all I can say is may God recreate him to even greater heights as he reunites with GOD for our heavenly father's glory only..man may still see sin but Heavens rejoice at the repentance of just one sinner and sadens at the fall of one of it's candidates

Appreciate the new layout. I liked this article. Thanks a lot for your good article.

Blessed are those who's sins are covered.

May God have mercy and pardon on Ps Pipim, and this should be a lesson to all and sundry that satan is at the door step of each and every individual seeking to destroy

Dis is to every man of God dat as @ 1 point in time fallen IJN u will rise again
Its unfair to judge dis man
Bt incase he ever reads dis My question is did God dat called U 2 ministry tell U 2 resignn?

Thanks for some great information reagrding this

Jag & Giovani, i want u both 2 know that its only Christ who didnt & wont fall.i disagree wit jag.if pipim's God was omnipotent he wldnt hv fallen. But really as christian,is it right 4 us 2 rejoice wen a brethren is falling? Even though dis is really i stil tink he did wel by admiting his error publicly & all he needs is our prayer & encouragement.may God be wit us all.

does it mean pipim will no longer preach again? please help me because i do not know if he is going for good.

What has happened to Dr S Koranteng-Pipim should be a lesson to all of us . I am saddend by his moral fall.

I agree that what Giovanni is doing is normal.If Dr. Pipim was not a moral giant, none of those attacks would make any sense.

Hi Giovanni Hashimoto, like you i am a champion of free speech and i also happen to disagree with quite a lot of what SKP has had to say since i have found his writings, sermons etc as a fairly new Seventh Day Adventist. I do however, get the impression that you are on a one man mission to ensure that he gets as hard a kicking as he possibly can while he is still down. I am one of those who always believed that SKP should tone down even when he was making sense on fairly trivial subjects ( e.g the why get a Dell when you can get an Apple Mac?), those statements were not only frequent but numerous and sometimes audiences where mesmerised to the point where they didnt question the impact on the church as a whole. Forgive me if i am wrong but i think i have found your comments on a site or other sites pointing people to this site. I also found you are pushing the possible Gay connection which others arent seeing or not interested in. I think this incident has actually for the first time made me respect Dr Pipim, not as the high and mighty academic but as a someone who has experienced a fall and has had to practice what he has taught for a long time (the humility of Christ). I can now listen to those sermons and believe them. He is not a high power celebrity who could have been sold out by his paramour for millions in the European tabloids so chances are, he could have got away with it. But because he has come out, the humiliation, the realisation, and the experience of being humbled should be punishment enough for him without the need to exercabate it more. Remember Giovanni, we are all liable to fall and we learn by our mistakes. Let the brother learn. I came back to Christ having fallen in a similarly spectacular way. If those around me had rejoiced in my fall or taken time to spread the news abroad, chances are the loving call of Christ would have been drowned by the noise, the stares, the pointing and accusing fingers of those who wouldnt let the issue go. Be blessed as you do your work Giovanni, and maybe let this one rest as we should with all others who have fallen and are liable to fall.

Can someone tell me exactly what happened to Pastor Pipim? How did the event leading to his resignation occur? Please help because the details will help us to be on our guard against similar events.

I am really suprised at the comments against Pipim's Ministry. I had an opportunity to listen to him speak and also read some of his writings. I am struggling to understand where this condemnation is coming from. I have not heard or read any hate speech from him. Where did he make this hate speech? I checked on his site and went through a number of his writings. I am at loss. Can some fill me in please.

Apart from Jesus Christ there is never a hero that stood unfallen before. Mighty men do fall because they are yet human. Pipim is my model and I'll always love him and his good works, looking unto Jesus only, the author and finisher of our faith.

any one can fall prey to sin..but with Christ Jesus we are saved from every short coming. provided we ask for forgiveness. JESUS was tempted, that show every one of us can be tempted. may GOD help pastor and his family and may he bring joy back into their lives

No-one is rejoicing in what has happened. The opposite is true - they say that every tragedy is also an opportunity. I would love to see "doctor" Pipim renounce his arrogance and become more humble, more welcoming and more accepting. More Jesus-like if you please.

It is true that if something like this happened to me, no-one would even blink. The difference is, Pipim fell from a very high pedestal. And he had put himself on that pedestal. That's what makes it such a monumental fall.

If someone would like to pray for "doctor" Pipim, there is nothing wrong in this. But please, please, do not forget his family as well as his victim. They are the ones who have suffered the most here.

This should serve as a lesson to us adventist christians. No man is infallabe, we need to depend sorely Christ Jesus for victory over temptaions. Indeed, the second coming of our Lord Jesus Christ is at hand. This is one of the signs.

Ps. Pipim is a single soul, so I am and so you are. If I was the one who did this, it would be no news and no body will be concerned to even comment on it. Jag is making a mistake by calling Pipim's God impotent and Jiovani supports him. Someone who claims to be a christian can never insult God because of a single person's sin. He ps. Pipim dies now, a single soul has died. If any of us die now, it is a single soul who has died. So why're we so concerned about what has happened? Think about salvation for your own soul and STOP all these 'unhealthful' and insultive comments for they're of no use.
