Pastor Enoch Adeboye, the general overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, has expressed regret for his statement that certain Christians will not enter paradise because they fail to pay their tithe.
Adeboye had previously preached that one of the requirements to enter paradise was to pay tithes.
But in a video that is currently viral on social media, Adeboye apologized to his congregation and said that his prior assertion was incorrect while addressing them.
The 82-year-old cleric later acknowledged that his prior warning to opponents not to make fun of God was incorrect because the Bible makes no mention of it.
“I 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.
In the same breath, Adeboye said it is wrong to limit some of his church members to 10% when they should be paying 20% or 30% as tithe. He said 10% should be for beginners.
He continues, “It is possible to be right and wrong at the same time. I will proof it to you. I’m a scientist so I know that for years we thought that light travels straight
“Later on we discovered light travels in waves. 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.”
