Pastor Enoch Adeboye, the General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church, has expressed regret for his previous statement suggesting that Christians who do not pay tithes may not enter heaven.
In a recent video circulating online, the cleric clarified his earlier remarks, calling them a “mistake.” He stated that the Bible does not make such claims, emphasizing instead that living a peaceful and holy life is what truly matters for gaining access to heaven.
“I apologize 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.
