Martins Ortse, popularly known as VeryDarkMan on Friday has called on other men of God to follow suit and apologize for falsely preaching on tithing like Pastor Adebayo, of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, (RCCG) has done, Edum News reports.
Daddy GO as he is fondly called while dressing RCGG members had apologized for his earlier claim that paying tithe was one of the prerequisites for going to heaven, and said the Holy Bible never said such.
VDM in reaction has said he was pleased with Papa Adeboye’s apology but that he was eagerly awaiting Pastors like David Ibieyomie to come out and apologize too.
In his words: “I’m happy about what Papa Adeboye revealed so I’m waiting for all those pastors like David Ibieyomie that preach about giving tithe.
“The number one man of all the religious people in Nigeria has come out to apologize that he’s sorry for saying if you don’t pay tithe you won’t make heaven; that it’s not in the Bible.
“Which other things have they told us is not in the Bible? That’s what I’m concerned about; how many things have they manipulated that is not in the Bible? I’m glad that Papa Adeboye came out to say these things, so imagine the ones that would come out to apologise and have manipulated the people, they have twisted the right words of the Bible to suit their own narratives.
“Religion has blinded and finished us in Africa and I will keep talking about how messed up religion has made us, carry your Bible. I’m waiting for those who will come tomorrow and say prayers won’t move Nigeria forward. I hope God will touch papa and the tithe collected will be used to touch the people of the country by creating jobs for millions.”
