“I want to be apologising for making a mistake, for saying that if you don’t pay tithe, you might not make it to heaven. Sorry, that’s wrong,” he said, eliciting a loud murmur from members.

He continued amidst the noise from members: “That’s not in the bible. What the bible says is ‘be at peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see God.’”

He added that “it’s possible to be right and wrong at the same time.”

He explained: “For years, we thought that light travels in straight line. Now, is that correct?… But later on we discovered it’s not straight as a rod, light travels in waves.”
