Pastor Abel Damina, founder and president of Abel Damina Ministries International, has stated that church offerings and tithes are not given to God, but rather to men.
In a viral video clip from a Sunday service sermon, Damina said, “No offering goes to heaven; men spend it every time we gather offerings in this church. All the offerings we give to God go to men.”
Damina, known for criticizing mainstream Christian doctrines he believes manipulate believers, also suggested that some pastors distort the purpose of tithes and offerings to influence their congregants.
He emphasized that the doors of heaven have been open since Jesus rose from the dead and are not dependent on tithes.
“Even those tithe mongers that say when you pay tithe, the doors of heaven will open, the doors have been opened since Jesus rose from the dead, the doors have never been closed. They are just working on people’s minds,” he said.
Damina addressed backlash over his views on tithing, responding to claims that he’s “evil” for advising against paying tithes.
“I heard some of them saying I am evil because I said you should not pay tithe, that ‘he and his children would pay tithe’. He has to talk like that to keep collecting from people,” he added.
He also alleged that many pastors demanding tithes don’t practice what they preach.
