David Ibiyeomie, the founder and presiding pastor of Salvation Ministries, has ignited a firestorm of debate across the internet, focusing attention on the first human, Adam, and his assumed relationship with tithes in the Garden of Eden.
After his provocative sermon about Adam, Pastor Ibiyeomie set off an intense online reaction that has left many Christians reeling and doubting their comprehension of biblical principles.
The cleric made the audacious and daring claim that the dispute over tithes, rather than the fabled fruit, was the real cause of the fall of the first humans in the Garden of Eden.

Traditionally, Christians have grown up reading scriptures that paint a vivid picture of the infamous apple as the forbidden fruit, the enticing temptation that God specifically commanded humanity to avoid.
This fruit, plucked from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, has long been synonymous with the original sin—Adam and Eve’s fateful choice that resulted in their exile from the blissful paradise of Eden.
Yet, Pastor Ibiyeomie is boldly rewriting this narrative. In a provocative video shared by Blogger Tunde Ednut, the cleric passionately contended that Adam’s catastrophic downfall was not due to the consumption of the apple but stemmed from his fateful decision to touch the tithe that God had expressly commanded him to leave alone.
With fiery conviction, Pastor Ibiyeomie delved into the deeper significance of tithing, presenting it not merely as a religious practice but as a divine principle that carries monumental weight.
He insisted that the heart of Adam’s transgression lay in his disregard for God’s command regarding the tithe, arguing that it was this act of disobedience that ultimately paved the way for humanity’s fall from grace.

This controversy has ignited passionate discussions, as many wrestle with the implications of such a bold reinterpretation of the biblical narrative.
