Alright, fam, we need to talk about this. So, apparently, Papa Adeboye has finally come out to apologize for that old 'pay your tithe or you won't make heaven' narrative. Yep, you read that right! Now, if you're like me, you're probably wondering, "Wait, what else have we been told that's NOT in the Bible?" 🤔
Our number one man in the religious scene has openly said he's sorry for leading folks astray with that whole tithing talk. Imagine all the pastors that ran with that line, using it to stack up offerings! 🤦🏾♂️ Now the big guy's saying it’s wrong. Like, okay, if Papa Adeboye can admit it, what about the others? I’m looking at you, all those pastors who went hard on the ‘tithe or else’ sermons. Your turn to apologize! 👀
And let’s not forget, Abel Damina has been saying this for a minute! Was he onto something this whole time? Makes you wonder, huh? 👀 What other messages have been twisted? How many minds have been manipulated with interpretations that suit certain narratives?
Religion has done a number on us in Africa, no cap. This isn’t even just about Christianity, it’s about people using the Bible for their own agenda. At least now, eyes are being opened. But can we just take a moment to think about all the tithes that were collected under this teaching? "Where did all that cash disappear to?" 💰💰
You know what? I have to give Papa Adeboye credit, for owning up to his mistake. That’s huge. But this should be a wake-up call. Let's start asking the hard questions. Like, which other teachings have been twisted for gain? And how do we move forward from here? Let’s hope this leads to some real change. Maybe, just maybe, we’ll see some of that money going back to help the people, create jobs, or something that actually benefits society. 🙏🏾
