Ever since Daddy Freeze of Cool Fm started his #freethesheeple movement it has caused a lot of controversy and even "men of god" have decided to speak up, albeit without making any valid points of rebuttals to his arguments, and defend the reason why they should keep accepting tithes and why it does not amount to exploitation of their gullible congregation.
And this has got me thinking. Let us assume for some reason the majority of Nigerian Christians decide to stop paying tithes, offerings and other donations to the church, will Nigerian Pentecostal Christianity die off?
I ask this because from where I stand these pastorpreneurs are essentially in the business of miracles solely for the power and money that comes with the business.
If these churches no longer receive tithes and offerings will pastors have no reason to come to the "office" anymore since there will be no more "source of income"?
Will pastors be able to live the life of Jesus as depicted in the bible? We know nothing of Jesus owning any property. He didn't seem to have a house, good clothes, jewelry and even the donkey he rode was borrowed and returned back to the owner but still he preached and performed signs and miracles for people even to the extent of dying on the cross for the sins of the people of the world.
According to the bible that is
So what do you think?
Are we getting close to the end of the tithe and offering business?
Can the Nigerian Pentecostal for of Christianity survive without tithes and offering?
MrHenshaw: Your definition for greatness is it in the exhibition of outward appearance. Your submission is senseless and the same you condemns Chris Oyakilome for exotic lifestyle from cash from tithe and offering.

olaric: That I don't drink doesn't give me the right to call others who drink fools. Just because you don't tithe doesn't make others who tithe fools. What you did by giving to the needy is called "Choice" and right to do whatsoever pleases you with your money is your prerogative.
You and every other anti-tithe people out there are acting like the devil who's always angry when God is glorified.
You do not have any point
Drinking is not a foolish act in itself but if someone drinks to stupor every day, is lazy, refuses to work or take care of his family then you have every right to call him a fool just as anyone who is constantly scammed of his earnings by a con artist disguising as a man of "god" deserves to be called a fool for his stupidity. Especially when this fool decides to defend his stupidity

kevoh: Kikikik...Sign fireman church members are back last time they tried defending their fake pastor on Nairaland in 2011/2012, they didn't succeed. Maybe there's hope for them in 2017.
Anyway, Who remembers the picture below and the documentary done by the British journalist Seyi Rhodes exposing Sign Fireman.
