Controversial On-Air-Personality, Ifedayo Olarinde, popularly known as Daddy Freeze has attacked anyone who had an opposing view on any of his social media views recently and the General Overseer of The Redeemed Christian Church of God, Daddy Adeboye, also got a freezing whip-lash from Daddy Freeze over the issue of tithing which has made its social media rounds for days now.
Pastor Enoch Adejare Adeboye made a comment about Freeze’s view about tithing, he said “Pay your tithe to avoid divine curse” and refrerence to the man of God’s viral video which stated that Even a mad man knows better not to drink alcohol in church and in response to this, Freeze had this to say;
“Dear Pastor Adeboye,
If you permit me, I will like to humbly seize this opportunity to raise some questions I consider valid. Why did you say in a viral video, that even a mad person knows that you don’t drink alcohol in a church?
Although from a sentimental point of view, your premise might seem right, but is it really what the Bible teaches us? The book of Deuteronomy 14:22-26, when speaking about paying tithes, instructs us to take our tithe to the place the LORD has chosen, and if the place is too far, we are instructed to sell the portion of our tithe and use it to buy anything our heart desires, listing alcohol as one of the items that could be bought with our tithe.
The King James Version says ‘strong drink’, the Holmans Bible says ‘beer’ while the new international version specifies ‘fermented drink’. All the above are forms of alcohol. So if you say even a mad person knows that you don’t drink alcohol in church, are you suggesting that the modern day church is not the ‘place the LORD has chosen for tithe to be paid and for his name to be worshiped’ as described in the book of Deuteronomy, or are you implying that the Bible was written by lunatics, or are you perhaps doubting God’s sanity?
Another issue I’ll be grateful if you can throw some light upon, is where our first pastors and Daddy GOs, the 12 disciples, collected tithes, or where they instructed the believers who took over the headship of the church from them, to collect tithe.
I humbly suggest, that you kindly address the above questions with biblical evidence, as against whipping up sentiment, or employing what many preachers use, and in my opinion, I consider; ’emotional tactics’.
As the Berean Christian that I am, before accepting any doctrine, I research the scriptures to see if it aligns accordingly, with the word of God. Thank you sir,
I hereby extend my highest considerations and best regards. ~FRZ #FreeTheSheeple Deuteronomy 14:26 KJV [26] And thou shalt bestow that (tithe) money for whatsoever thy soul lusteth after, for oxen, or for sheep, or for wine, or for strong drink, or for whatsoever thy soul desireth: and thou shalt eat there before the Lord thy God,”
