VDM asks Pastor Adeboye, and others questions
Shortly after Pastor Adeboye’s apology video went viral, it drew the attention of many Nigerians on social media, including VeryDarkMan.
The online critic, known for his interesting views on trending topics, asked Pastor Adeboye and other preachers about the other things in the Bible that they must have manipulated their audience to believe.
According to VDM, he is particularly waiting for Pastor David Ibiyeomie who has been known to preach about giving tithes. The critic also said that he was happy Adeboye cleared the air on the matter because he is considered the number one man in Christianity to Nigerians.
He said:
“I’m really happy about what Papa Adeboye just revealed, so I’m waiting for all those pastors, the likes of David Ibiyeomie that are always preaching about tithes. The number one man of all the religious church people in Nigeria has come out to apologise that he’s sorry for saying that if you don’t pay tithes you will not make heaven, that it’s not in the bible. Which other things have they told us that is not in the bible? That’s what I’m concerned about. Which other things have they told the people that is not in the bible? How many things have they manipulated that are not in the bible? I am glad Papa Adeboye came out now to say these things.”
VDM went on to speak about the pastors who would not apologise about their stance on tithing now that Pastor Adeboye has done so. According to the dark man, these sets of people have twisted God’s words to suit their narrative because religion has blinded us in Africa.
“Imagine the ones that will not come out and apologise? Imagine the ones that have manipulated the minds of people, that have converted and twisted the right words and the right message of the bible to suit their own narrative? I am happy this came from the number one man. Religion has blinded us in Africa and I will keep on talking about how messed up religion has put us in. Eyes will be opened. Tomorrow I am waiting for the one that will tell us to forget all these prayers o, prayer no go move Nigeria forward o.”
VDM went on to say that he hopes Pastor Adeboye will use all the tithes collected in the past to do something that will benefit Nigerians. He also said that the RCCG pastor’s stance on tithing means that his colleague, Abel Damina has been right all along.
In his words:
“I hope all the tithes that were collected that period of time, I just hope God will touch Papa so that they use it to do something that will benefit the people of the country. I am waiting for all those pastors wey dey use that same format to take collect tithes and offering, wey dey use am pack money, that means Abel Damina had been right all along. I’m just waiting for the likes of David Ibiyeomie. Now my question is which other bible verse or message have they manipulated to suit their own narrative? This goes to show that a lot of these pastors twist the bible to suit a certain narrative that they want to push out there. I am happy that the man that is seen as the number one when it comes to religion have come out to say these things that he’s sorry and I love him more for that. Make una sha just open una eyes. Christianity is there but the scammers are more than the real people preaching. Most of these popular ones are big scammers.”
