Media figure associated with Accra’s Peace FM, Mr. Akwasi Aboagye claims that giving tithes and offerings to religious leaders constitutes cheating.
Akwasi Aboagye made this statement during a conversation on Angel FM. He claimed that many pastors trick their congregants into selling their assets and giving the proceeds to them.
Akwasi Aboagye expresses a preference for staying at home and leading a normal life instead of attending church, where he feels that these so-called men of God exploit him.
He mentioned that pastors benefit financially, by providing for their families, enrolling their children in elite schools for a superior education, and traveling abroad for a better quality of life.
Nevertheless, church members who contribute tithes and offerings to religious leaders often remain in the congregation as impoverished individuals.
Donating the small amount of money you earn as tithes and offerings at church is considered sinful.
He contended that the Bible never stated to “love your neighbor and hate yourself.
