The founder and presiding shepherd of Salvation Ministries, Pastor David Ibiyeomie, has asserted that God sent the first creation, Adam, out of the garden of Eden because he touched his tithe.
Pastor Ibiyeomie’s claim regarding the biblical figure Adam and his purported connection to tithes has generated heated arguments on social media.
In a viral video seen online, Pastor Ibiyeomie linked Adam’s tragic downfall as a result of eating the ‘forbidden fruit,’ the Apple to imply an ill-fated decision to handle what God had explicitly commanded him to avoid.
With passionate conviction, Pastor Ibiyeomie explored the profound implications of tithing, framing it as a religious obligation and a divine principle of immense significance.
He asserted that the essence of Adam’s transgression was rooted in his failure to adhere to God’s directive concerning the tithe, claiming that this act of disobedience ultimately set the stage for humanity’s fall from grace.
Christians have been familiar with scriptures that vividly depict the apple as the forbidden fruit, representing the alluring temptation God specifically instructed humanity to shun.
This fruit, taken from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, has long been associated with the Genesis of sin.
It is worth noting that Adam and Eve’s ill-fated choice led to their expulsion from the idyllic paradise of Eden.
However, Pastor Ibiyeomie has shared a different belief with his congregation on the issue of Tithing and Adam’s punishment for allegedly refusing to pay the tithe.
