In other news, Legit.ng earlier reported that Pastor Enoch Adeboye advised Christians to pay their tithes in full.
The clergyman said that paying less than one’s tithe is deception. He noted that it was better that such a person did not pay it at all. According to him, it is impossible to deceive God because He knows all things.
In another story, Reno Omokri said that buying alcohol with tithe money isn't a sin.
He backed up his statement with biblical proofs as he cited Deuteronomy 14:26. Reno in another tweet responded to those who picked holes in his argument and said that it is an old testament law.
In response, the popular social activist said that why do his critics always use an old testament verse (Malachi 3:10) to support paying tithe.
