I made an error to say ‘no heaven without paying tithes ‘- Adeboye

General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, Pastor Enoch Adeboye, says he made an error for saying that Christians who don’t pay tithes won’t make heaven.

He, however, apologized for making such statement, saying it was biblically wrong.

The pastor had previously said that paying tithe was one of the prerequisites for going to heaven.

Some Christian leaders had criticized Adeboye for the wrong teaching, and asked him to retract the statement.

While addressing his congregation on Thursday night in a video making the rounds on the internet, Adeboye said, ” 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.

“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 per cent when someone is talking of 20, 30, 40 per cent. 10 per cent should be for beginners I believe God will give me an opportunity very soon to give you the details.”
