The General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), Pastor Enoch Adeboye, has publicly apologised for a statement he previously made, claiming that those who do not pay tithes would not enter heaven.
The man of God’s earlier comments on tithing sparked widespread debate among Nigerians, with many questioning the biblical basis of such claims.
However, he has retracted the statement, admitting that he was wrong.
In a recent sermon, Pastor Adeboye acknowledged that his earlier stance was incorrect and not supported by the Bible.
He admitted that his remarks had caused confusion among believers and sought forgiveness from those who may have been misled by his words.
He said, “I’m going to be apologizing for making a mistake. For saying that if you don’t pay tithe you might not make it to heaven. Sorry, that’s wrong. That is not in the Bible. What the bible says is He has peace with all men and holiness without which no man shall see God.”
Tithing, a common practice in many Christian denominations, involves giving 10 percent of one’s income to the church as a form of worship and obedience to God. However, the doctrine surrounding its necessity for salvation has long been a subject of contention.
