I was wrong, Adeboye apologises over Christians who don’t pay tithes not making Heaven comment
A public apology has been tendered by the General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church, Pastor Enoch Adeboye, over his comment that Christians who don’t pay tithe might not make heaven.
Adeboye had previously claimed that paying tithe was one of the prerequisites for going to heaven.
However, the RCCG GO apologised for the comment while addressing his congregation recently in a video making the rounds on the internet.
He said his earlier claim was a “mistake”, adding that the bible never said such.
He explained that the Bible preaches that peaceful and holy living are the prerequisites for making heaven.
He said, “I apologize 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.”
