Reactions have continued to trail Pastor E. A. Adeboye comments that Christians defaulting payment of their tithes will not make heaven, as Reno Omokri has said there is no financial qualification required for Christians to make Heaven.
TheNewsGuru reports the General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), in a video, quoting Matthew 23:23, said the Bible stressed payment of tithe and not otherwise, before going ahead to say Christians who default tithes payment will not make Heaven.
“No pastor can set a financial qualification to entering Heaven,” the former aide to former President Goodluck Jonathan stated, while adding: “Paying tithes has nothing to do with entering heaven. Such pastors should read 1Timothy 6:5-6”.
Popular on-air personality, Daddy Freeze, who shared the video on his Instagram handle, had stated his disappointment in the man of God and queried if the man of God was in his right senses.
“Let me show him the Bible today and teach him that tithing is what ensures people of hell! Jesus said love your neighbor as yourself, yet they disobey Jesus by building schools their neighbours can’t attend, often with their neighbours’ contribution. How can you disobey Jesus and tell me to obey Malachi?
“Mark 12:31 NIV the second is this: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ There is no commandment greater than these. Tithing is the law and teachers of the law are going to Hell according to the Bible,” Daddy Freeze surmised.
According to Reno Omokri, “The only qualification Jesus gave for entry to heaven is that you should be born again then born of water and the Spirit”.
