Adeboye Apologises For Saying Tithe Defaulters Will Not Make Heaven
By Stella Enenche, Abuja
The General Overseer, Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), Pastor Enoch Adeboye, has apologised for saying that Tithe Defaulters would not go to Heaven.
Adeboye made the apology on Thursday
while addressing a youth congregation at the ongoing Youth Convention of the church at the Redemption City in Ogun State.
The cleric said it was not stated in the bible that Christians who do not pay Tithe would go to hell.
According to General Overseer ,” I am going to apologise for saying ‘If you don’t pay tithe, you might not make it to heaven.’ I’m sorry, that’s wrong, and it’s not in the Bible.
“What the Bible says is ‘Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see God’,” he said.
“It is possible to be right and wrong at the same time. I will prove it to you. I’m a scientist so I know that for years we thought that light travels in straight lines….
Adeboye however said 10 percent of one’s income as tithe to God as a practice meant for beginners in faith.
“It is wrong to limit you to 10 percent when someone is talking of 20, 30, 40 percent. 10 percent should be for beginners I believe God will give me an opportunity very soon to give you the details.”
