Veteran entertainer Charles Oputa, a.k.a Charlie Boy, has urged Pastor Enoch Adeboye, the general overseer of Redeemed Christian Church of God refund tithes paid by members of congregation.
Pastor Adegboye during the week at a youth convention organised by his church, had said he was sorry for his “If you don’t pay tithes, you will not go to heaven” remarks adding that it was not supported by scriptures.
“I’m apologizing for saying,’If you don’t pay tithe, you won’t 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,” Adeboye had said.
Reacting to the topic which has generated much debate in the social media space, Charlie Boy had his say.
“I truly believe that a lot of the fakest people are found in churches, my opinion not yours. Your apology doesn’t mean shit unless you promise to return the tithe money, they give you for mumu people wey wan bribe dia way to heaven.
“Stop giving your CONGREGATION ridiculous Lamba’s Sometimes the nicest people you meet may have bodies covered with Tattoos, the most bitter, judgemental, envious and wicked people all go to church on Sundays. Since your announcement decades ago, that people should troway their TVs, I had always known that your way no pure as person wey dey “drink tea with God”
“There is nothing worse than a fault-finding finger pointing Pastor who is as fake as the blings of a wanna be artist. Apology? when you know exactly what you’re doing. Nonsense Dia Father’s.”
However, Pastor Adegboye clarified that he has not stopped people from paying their tithes by his remarks, rather he is challenging people to pay more than the 10 percent they usually give.
