Ghanaian pastor and theologian Domini Amponsah has narrated how he narrowly escaped death after engaging in an interfaith debate.
Amponsah, in a statement on social media on Monday, narrated how he, alongside his team, was almost lynched during a debate with Muslims in Amanful-Takoradi, Ghana.
He mentioned that during the interfaith debate tagged “The Great Debate,” attempts were made to lynch him when he gave scriptural backing on why his opponent’s religion isn’t a “religion of peace.”
“Out of the over 50 public interfaith dialogues (debates) I have had with Muslim preachers since 2014, this was the only one; my team and I were nearly lynched to death,” he wrote.
He added that it took the intervention of his opponent and the show organizers to stop the irate mob from lynching him.
”But thank God, my good friend and opponent Hafiz Buhari and the Muslim organizers prevented the angry Muslims from touching us,” he added.
Narrating how the incident occurred, the pastor, known for his strong stance in defending the Christian faith, said, “This whole thing began when I started throwing punches from Islamic scriptures on why Islam cannot be the religion of peace.”
“We thank God; through this dialogue the Muslim audience heard the message of the gospel. At least we’ve washed our hands off their blood,” he added.
