Committee probing SLC affairs quiz Pastor Jerome Fernando
The committee appointed to investigate incidents involving the Sri Lankan cricket team during the ICC T20 World Cup in Australia has recorded a statement from controversial Sri Lankan preacher and self proclaimed Prophet, Pastor Jerome Fernando for more than two hours.
Earlier, Sports Minister Roshan Ranasinghe formed a five member committee led by retired Supreme Court Judge Kusala Sarojini Weerawardena to investigate incidents that took place during the ICC T20 World Cup in Australia last November.
The committee is tasked with investigating the national cricket team’s participation and other incidents during the ICC T20 World Cup, which took place in Australia from October 16 to November 13, 2022.

This so called 'preacher' is a fraudster. Everybody other than his followers know it.

This pastor is a disgrace and not a Christian. Because the Bible says that Lord Jesus Christ chased the money changers out of the temple. He is a conman using the Lords name only for financial purposes.

I strongly believe controversial Sri Lankan Christian preachers should be investigated for various money-making rackets. I still Wonder how this preacher became a multi-millionaires. Pastor Walter Rajamani, Jerome Fernando and others should be investigated properly

If Pastor Jerome is doing something wrong and against God's kingdom, let God deal with him. Everyone who criticise him pls check your own conscious and decide whether you qualify to criticise " He who is without a sin can caste the first stone"" , this is what Jesus Christ said ( John 8. 3-8.) I am not going to comment of Pastor Jerome but i will confirm I AM A SINNER.

How did Jerome Fernando got hold of so much of wealth? See his car fleet. Mercedes, Range Rovers these are expensive even for people in first world countries. He makes his luxurious living by deceiving vulnerable people. Investigate this god business first.

If you are working for God, you should not earn out of it. Example is Mother Theresa....... So humble and never ever dressed herself in expensive garments. This so called pastor is a gamble, I don't believe a word he says. His followers are all out of their minds, his prayer meetings looks more like a music show to me, dressed in his best and colorful kits..... If we are to follow God and offer our prayers and pray for one another, why not do it in the churches without getting carried away with his singing and acting. This is something the Christians and Catholics have to think about.

All religions today have been infiltrated with corruption. Most of these so called leaders survive due to their popularity with a majority incalcitrant in there knowledge and principles of their own religions. Gnanasara in Buddhism and Cardinal Ranjit in Catholicism is another. This fellow Jerome is just a fraudster magician oppurtunising on a country where ignorance is rife and in plenty... to be exact more than 70%.

The Pastor seems questionable and should be investigated but what has that got to do with our players performance, indiscipline and corruption at SLC? Or is this another attempt to distract the real issues?

A Pastor on God Channel and many flock to his Church to receive Blessings from God. From the many comments there are many casting aspersions on a Man of God not proven guilty but using loose talk even though they have not known him personally or seen whether this person is black or white only seen the photograph depicted in this picture. Sri Lankan culture are having an abundant followership of public to criticize even not knowing the contents of what happened during the Sri Lankan cricket team in Australia but having sketchy bits and pieces for which a committee has been appointed to investigate for which only a statement has been recorded. Our public are reputed to pry into other peoples wealth their cars etc. I offer an open invitation to these busybodies to investigate the wealth of the Rajapakse regime and their lackeys who have unzipped the public purse and scams whilst a Pastor is a shepherd having a congregation and well wishers who are the donors of the Church .

I am not a prophet Wednesday, 14 December 2022 01:42 PM
@Prajeeth Silva. BS. You must be one of his blind followers. His name not name is not mentioned in the Bible as a prophet. Therefore, his title is self proclaimed! Also, see the followers of Jesus and even His deciples never lived a luxurious life. And again I say unto you, It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.

You can have all the inquiries on corruption. But do not base it on his claims with SLC only.This way you tarnish Christianity. Do not feed atheist recists with the crap they like to hear. This is a multi religious country. They will start questioning why Sarath had lots if pirith nool around his wrist.

Wonderful preacher who brings many lost souls to Jesus. If you watched the service they only prayed prayed for the cricket team. The services go live on YouTube. Commenters and committees should sit and watch as part of their "investigation". Might end up coming to the true Light.

@I am not a Prophet you are a half baked Bible reader. Sometimes Satan quotes passages from the Bible to mislead the laity. A person who speaks for God and guides the people by divine inspiration (from Old Testament ) is a prophet. Whilst certain Prophets names have been included in the Bible which is relevant to that time. Unbelievers try to pick holes in the usage of the word Prophet by searching for names without getting a clear understanding of the word Prophet. Some of these comments are like taking a" Donkey to a water hole but unable to force it to drink."

@ Mahesh Alu. You may be born a Buddhist not not a strong Buddhist - otherwise you will not bring in your race and caste to this matter. Buddhism does not care for race or caste. So converting to Christianity is good for you.

@i am not a prophet in continuation to my previous comment do you think that having a car and house are luxuries these are basic necessities. The message that the Lord Jesus said about the camel passing the eye of a needle. The "Eye of the needle" was indeed a narrow gateway into Jerusalem since camels were heavily loaded with goods and riders they would need to be unloaded in order to pass through. The analogy is that a rich man would similarly have to unload his material possessions in order to enter heaven. Unless you have done a thorough study of the Bible don't act like an Agent of Satan to mislead the public.

@mahesh Aluwihare - you are a disgrace to the Aluwihare clan that harks back to where thripitakaya was written. The Buddha was the greatest scientist with knowledge to escape the cycle of suffering. And you blindly go follow a miracle cult man hoping something from the sky will save you.

Hi Rajiv, With all due respect, you need to visit the miracle dome and observe people being healed. The blind see, the deaf hear and the lame walk. I myself was healed by this very special Man of God. The Prophet is easily one of the best Teachers of God's Word. We are truly Blessed to have him in Sri Lanka.

There is a woman in Kandy called sister sweet Lamb. She is a FRAUDSTER. She attracts the poor estate Tamil workers and tell them that the God speak to her about their individual problems. She gives them a meal to attract them. The innocents and troubled women all over the world she promises that God has told her that their problems will be solved in 3, 6 12 months time and get payments / donations from abroad. The government of Sri Lanka should investigate this fraudster and her money laundering methods.

I know this guy from the day he started preaching from his mother's (Wendy)s car garage in Mount Lavinia. There used to be few people who comes on Sunday to listen to his preaching. I had some respect cus his mother. When I saw him with the prophet title I realized he has gone nuts. Money do anything and everything guys

What the Probing Committee should have done is interview the Captain, Coach, Manager, and Team Doctor of the SL Team and retired great cricketers and get their opinion on why the SL team did not do well and what are their suggestions to improve the performance and discipline. They must also interview SLC Executive Committee and find out how money is being spent on matters unrelated to cricket and things the Executive Committee has done to ruin Sri Lankan cricket. Instead of what the Committee has done is to interview this so-called self-declared prophet for hours. Is this Committee serious in finding the underlying causes for deterioration of performance and discipline of SL cricketers or trying to find a ‘Scape Goat’?

“Prophet Jerome Fernando” is a true man of God. God healed me through this precious man of God. It’s me who knows the pain I went through with the sickness I had for more than 30 years. No doctor was able to heal me. Today I live a happy life with out any sickness. I also see there are thousands of sick people heald and delivered, addictions are leaving from people. Separated families are getting back in the solutions ground ( Miracle Dome ), and many more miracles are happening in people’s life. God is using this precious man of God to do wonders in our country. There are lot of things beyond what you see, what you hear and what you feel in a spiritual level. @ Prophet Jerome, Sir there are countless reasons as to why we respect you so much. On of it is that you practice what you preach. Glory be to God.

@ Terrence K. It seems that my comment has pricked your conscience. No wonder, birds of the same feather flock together. You blind man, read Matthew 24:24 "For false christs and false prophets will arise and perform great signs and wonders, so as to lead astray, if possible, even the elect." and 2 Timothy 4:3 "For the time is coming when people will not endure sound teaching, but having itching ears they will accumulate for themselves teachers to suit their own passions" and @ Jerome Fernando "Woe to you, when all people speak well of you, for so their fathers did to the false prophets."

@I am not a Prophet - First I need to sympathize with you being an Infidel mainly because you act like a hypocrite taking cover under a pseudonym. All those who do not reveal their names are called SPINLESS WHO DON'T HAVE BACKBONES and preying on others. These are the worms who creep from the wormwood making inflammatory statements of others and unable to stand up for what is the Truth. I am not ashamed to stand tall for those who follow the Lord Jesus Christ inspite of human beings frailty. You need a psychiatrist otherwise this disease may spread to other religions as well.

To all Christians, I urge you to follow Christ as He is our example and not any man, teacher or a self procalimed prophet like @Terrance K. who has already been decieved by the craftiness of the enemy. I really pitty for @Terrance K's soul. So, lets all get together and pray for him asking God to open his eyes to know the truth, because the truth will set this wreched poor blind man Terrance K free. And after he has been healed of his blindness, he will start following and hearkening to the voice of God. 1 John 2:27 "As long as his Spirit remains in you, you do not need anyone to teach you. For his Spirit teaches you about everything, and what he teaches is true, not false." @Terrance K. Once you have been healed of your blindness, give all glory to God and not to any man or the people who prayed for you. Praise be to God!

@I am not a Prophet - You seem to be JEALOUS of Pastor Jerome Ministry although I ONLY FOLLOW THE LORD JESUS CHRIST WITH NO DENOMINATION . I do not know why this is happening to the followers of the Lord Jesus Christ. The only reason I could adduce is that according to the Bible in the Last Days Satan will come in different ways(Anti Christ) to deceive the Children of God. As you have a smattering knowledge of the Bible you quote verses like Satan since in the Christian Faith never does a follower of Christ criticize another of the same faith. You are a Wolf in Sheep Clothing otherwise you are an Eccentric needing a Psychiatrist.

2000 years ago Jesus Christ (PBUH) did not drive around the Middle East in super Luxury cars. He went around on an Ass (Donkey) and walking miles proclaiming the Good News which he was entrusted to deliver to mankind. Many Pastors around Sri Lanka never have a showcasing like Mr. Jerome Fernando that is disturbing to people in a 3rd world country like Sri Lanka. Jesus Christ (PBUH) did not dance and kick around with stupid teachings, like Insulting, Cursing and Threatening believers and followers with death. These are based on satanic teachings. Sad to mention that we are not reading the Holy Bible deep enough to understand the truth pertaining to Salvation and the walk with God as determined by him.

The Book of Revelations also reveals the end times, the past, present and what is to come. ALL those who brought the country down to its knees and the masses to their bellies will face the FULL force of the Lord on judgement day. We have NO hope of the present government bringing those responsible for the downfall of the country by the looks of it and all those in government who were not responsible for the country's downfall and who are sitting pretty without making any attempt to speak up and force a FULL investigation by a INDEPENDANT Commission and bring those responsible before the FULL force of the law, have their wealth frozen and give the people of Sri Lanka the justice they well deserve, in order that they and the country can move on and commence building the country.
