Nigerian Man Mentions The "Errors" He Observed in Bishop David Abioye's Preaching About Tithe

• A Nigerian man has vehemently disagreed with Bishop David Abioye of the Living Faith Church also known as Winners Chapel
• The man said one of Abioye's teachings on the topic of tithe contained what he called "errors" and he disagreed with him
• His observations were contained in a post he made in response to one of the preachings delivered by the respected man of God

A Nigerian man, Ninyo Omidiji, said he disagreed with Bishop David Abioye after he heard one of his teachings.

The man said he noticed some "errors" in the topic taught by the respected man of God.

He insisted that on the topic of tithe, he was not in agreement with Abioye who recently retired from the Living Faith church.

In a post on Facebook, Ninyo Omidiji analysed a short video containing a message by Bishop David Abioye.

Abioye was teaching a congregation about tithe, and he said it is not pastors who receive tithe. He noted that pastors usually don't need tithe, insisting he does not go to where the church counts money.

Bishop Abioye also said Abraham paid tithe and noted that everyone who is Abraham's seed should do the work of Abraham.

But Ninyo vehemently disagreed. He said in his analysis:

"So the work of Abraham was tithing? Was that all Abraham was known for? Friends, the work of Abraham was his unwavering faith in God. This is clearly stated in Genesis 15:1-6. When God promised to make his descendants too numerous to count like the stars of the Sky, Abraham believed God despite the fact that he had no single child at the time. The same event was referenced in Romans 4:3 NKJV.

"For the Christian, what connects you to God is the sacrifice of Christ Jesus at Calvary. God was in Christ reconciling the world unto Himself.."

In his reaction to the story, Reverend Father Oselumhense Anetor, known on Facebook as Fada Kay Media, said the Catholic church, in particular, teaches that members should contribute to the work of pastors but that it is not under compulsion.

His words:

"The Catholic Church teaches Catholics to contribute to the support of their pastors. This is one of the corporal works of mercy. Tithing has never been a 'thing' in the Catholic Church. However, there are dioceses who have a legislation to this effect based on the recommendations of their Local Ordinary. Even then, it's still never an obligation.compulsion."
