Veteran Nigerian singer and entertainer, Charles Oputa better known as Charly Boy has called out the general overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), Pastor Enoch Adeboye, over his recent apology on tithing.
NaijaOnPoint.com.ng (NOP) reports that Adeboye while delivering a message at the RCCG’s ongoing annual national youth convention at the RCCG Redemption City, admitted his teachings about tithes were wrong.
Tendering his apology, the clergyman said: “I am going to be talking to everybody as soon as God permits me, I am going to apologise for making a mistake for saying that if you don’t pay tithe, you will not be making it to Heaven. That is wrong.
“That is not in the Bible. What the Bible says is to make peace with all men and holiness without which no man shall see God. What the Bible says is, to follow peace with all men and holiness without which no man will make heaven.”
Adeboye’s apology, elicited mixed reactions on and off social media.
Reacting, Charly Boy in a post via his social media account, said Adeboye’s apology does not mean anything until he returns the tithes he collected from his congregation.
The entertainer said: “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 ur 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 trow away 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.”
