A post about RCCG General Overseer Pastor E.A. Adeboye apologizing for his earlier statement that non-tithers won’t get to heaven, which is not in the Bible, sparked widespread controversy. He further commented that the 10% tithe is just for beginners, causing more debate. One comment stood out: “The difference between this man and our politicians na format,” implying manipulation.
This statement is problematic as it unfairly compares religious leadership to political corruption, assuming deceptive motives without evidence. While people may question certain teachings, equating pastors to politicians engaging in “formats” (scams) creates distrust without considering the broader spiritual context. It’s important to focus on transparency and understanding rather than jumping to negative assumptions.
