It the court that can properly monitor the restitution process. It will be distracting for the church.

Then why is the church always preaching forgiveness when themselves can not forgive?

Since it's now the court that monitors restitution, according to u, why don't they teach that restitution requires a law court or a 3rd party as a supervisor, when teaching the subject at church?

Don't steal from your father purse rather ask him and he will give you everything you need. Matthew 7:7

Remember the Bible says thy shall not steal.
Agreed and I condemn stealing totally. But did those that arrested him asked if he actually took the money without God's permission & why should they be the one to hold him for taking God's money? After all the money was collected on the bases of giving to God.

He pleaded not guilty initially. Meaning he was falsely accused, hence, he needed to defend himself.

If he has pleaded guilty he could have been forgiven as has been the case with many.


If the judgement was in his favor, he could have claimed that he was wrongly accused.

Now, the judgment was in favor of the church.

Even though it is church money accountability is necessary.

If he has pleaded guilty he could have been forgiven as has been the case with many.


What are you insinuating exactly?

No problem. Not that I like those pastors however some Nigerians love to stereotype them. But when the coin turn the other way, they are quick to make exception

You will be surprised that even God will forgive the man. The way they carry money generated from the poor sheeples you will think that their is a channel thru which they send it to heaven. Many of their members are suffering in silence why they feed on their tithes and offerings

If The Holy Spirit didn't forgive Ananias and the wife for stealing from themselves what should the church do to deter others? Even God the father gave law and punishments for the breakers as merciful as He is. Learn from God the Father, The Holy Spirit and Jesus who didn't hurry to proclaim forgiveness on Judas.

God will not forgive him don't let those grace preachers deceive you. If that man refuses to restitute then he should forget about forgiveness.

Why will dey take him to court and still send him to jail, But the bible say we should forgive and a church who is doing the work of God can not forgive, Is that what u were called to do? See my people God they with you and not in the name of a church or pastor.

A pastor stole from his church, the church took him to a law court where he accepted his crime and publicly pleaded guilty, which can even classified as an open confession. So the public shame is not enough to deter others?

My problem with Nigeria church is that they seem not to be practicing what they preach, otherwise I see no reason why they should be accumulating weath on earth when their mandate is run heavenly race and be winning souls for God. Church nowadays seems to be more interested on earthly weath than heavenly weath

The bible authorize the church to deal with erring member if they reject the church authority.

Matthew 18:17
If the person still refuses to listen, take your case to the church. Then if he or she won’t accept the church’s decision, treat that person as a pagan or a corrupt tax collector.

This write up is full of contradictions :
Is the convict a pastor or an accountant and treasurer of the church? It is not possible to be a pastor, a
treasurer and an accountant at same time and in the same church.

Secondly, as a treasurer who was given money to keep for the church can only be guilty of criminal breach of trust and not stealing. In law you can't steal a thing who possession has been lawfully given to you.
