- Abel Damina has jumped into the growing storm of critics aiming at Pastor Ibiyeomie, who recently stirred controversy with his bold claim that Adam’s fall in Eden was due to tithes, not the well-known story of the forbidden apple.
- In a newly released video, Damina recounted the moment he was in the same venue as Ibiyeomie during a conference when the shocking statement was made.
- The cleric dived deep into the heart of the matter, countered Ibiyeomie’s claim with a fierce rebuttal grounded in scripture.
Dr. Abel Damina, the compelling Founder and President of Abel Damina Ministries International (ADMI) and the visionary CEO of Kingdom Life Network (KLN), has entered the tumultuous arena of the tithe controversy surrounding Pastor David Ibiyeomie, the founder and presiding pastor of Salvation Ministries.
In a recent viral video that has set the Christian community ablaze, Ibiyeomie took to the pulpit to make a shocking assertion about the first biblical man, Adam, and his supposed connection to tithes in the Garden of Eden.
While countless believers have been raised with the image of the notorious apple as the forbidden fruit that led to humanity’s fall, Ibiyeomie stirred the pot by proclaiming that Adam’s ultimate downfall was not due to consuming the apple, but rather his audacious decision to touch the tithe—a directive God had explicitly commanded him to keep his hands off.
This controversial interpretation has sent shockwaves through social media, with many within the Christian community rising up in opposition, insisting that such claims are patently untrue.
Amidst the fervor, Abel Damina—a preacher known for his outspoken criticism of tithe-centric teachings—seized the moment to address Ibiyeomie’s startling declaration during one of his latest sermons.
He disclosed that he and his wife were present at the very conference where Ibiyeomie delivered this contentious message.
As Damina recounted his experience, he described being utterly taken aback, seated among the attendees, struggling to believe his ears at the audacity of the claim being made from the pulpit.
Damina didn’t just stop at expressing his disbelief; he boldly challenged Ibiyeomie’s assertion head-on. With passionate conviction, he argued that the true cause of Adam’s fall was rooted in sin itself, not a misguided interpretation of tithes.
He emphasized that it was sin that severed humanity’s relationship with God, a separation from which Jesus Christ came to redeem and cleanse us.
