A “MESSENGER OF GOD” has come under criticism for the harshness in his letters and for being a public nuisance.

Ricardo Cumberbatch admitted to the DAILY NATION yesterday in a telephone interview he had written hundreds of letters, including to prominent people such as Owen Arthur, David Thompson and Tyrone Estwick.

“It is nothing personal; it is the word of God. I have sent letters to hundreds of people, even people outside Barbados. I have sent letters to Senator David Durant, Lucille Baird and even members of my family.

“I will even send you a letter if the spirit moves me; I am a very serious Christian and evangelist and the letters are clear. There are a lot of people who have their priorities wrong and pay little attention to their spiritual selves while a whole lot of sin gets over emphasized

That in itself might be annoying and frustrating, but that is the best solution. Trying to reason with these quacks is useless.

It is people like this that keep people away from the house of God. I can not throw stones because my windows are dirty. Let him without sin cast the first stone. This gentleman is obviously using his letters as stones.

Posted by Neville Legall 9 months ago: I have several letters written by this self righteous weirdo. Imagine the guy sits down and writes multiple letters by hand then buys postage stamps and mail out to innocent law abiding people. I know others who received these letters with what he terms as final warnings. He hops around from church to church and also has an inflated sense of importance. I usually advise my friends to ignore him and his silly old letters. I'm praying that one day he will find rest for his obviously troubled and tormented soul.
