I'm not trying to be controversial. May I dare ask harmlessly. On which day does SDA members elect their own church leaders? Besides, voting on election days are none profit or commercial activity. Therefore it may not necessarily contravene the terms and spirit of the biblical interpretation of sabbath day. On a lighter note do they cook for themselves or partners? Do they drive or ride to church? How many of the members will reject payments from their long time debtors who have travelled from distances to redeem their obligations?

Or in a worse case scenario, sleep and rest throughout on sabbath days?

The whiteman has done no job on our minds. We have weighed the beliefs of ancestors, the Word of God, our own lives and our own personal encounters with the Lord, and we have consciously chosen the LORD JESUS CHRIST. You cannot be wiser and more knowledgeable than all Christians in Africa and the entire world, many of whom have personally come from all sorts of backgrounds - including Buddhism, Hinduism, Islam, African 'traditional' worship, atheism, satanism, etc. We are NOT stupid, we are NOT misled. We know what we are about.

@Blue you might sound intelligent but sadly you're a typical myopic Christian. Religion is man made. Spend some time to study other religions and you'll come to understand that Christianity as we know it is a combination of several ancient religions. The Roman empire under Constantine formed it. Go and research the council if Nicea. Anyway, it's very difficult to reach people who think they know too much.

Africans are the easiest to brainwash because they feel inferior and so happily adopt other cultures as an attempt at gaining acceptance. Inferiority complex is our bane.
Come to think of it: Christianity is totally irrelevant to Africans because the Bible specifically says it is for only the Jews! Why force ourselves onto a culture that tells you the religion is only for them?

@Poppilasti: Religion is at the heart of culture. Replace the religion of a culture with another religion and that society is doomed, as we have seen with Ghana. We pretend to be Christians yet Ghana is riddled with pervasive corruption, greed, wickedness, hatred, rancour, bitterness, the absence of fellow-feeling. These evils were totally an absent in the African society.
Please let’s return to our roots and save the African. Instead of meeting in these shrines on Saturdays, let’s return to the authentic African religions.

@Napo. Our relationship with God Almighty cannot be born out of culture. Otherwise, each race and tribe would decide on their own terms and conditions on which they relate with God. That is very ridiculous. We relate with the SOVEREIGN LORD on His terms and conditions - if you understand the word SOVEREIGN, you should understand this easily. Your children and servants cannot relate with you on their own T&Cs - deciding on what they deem right and acceptable and what is not.

Also, culture is dynamic and our were not perfect, all- knowing beings. They got some things right, they got some things wrong. We do NOT have continue in the mistakes and errors of our ancestors in the name of culture and custom if we have better insight. That is foolishness. We learn new things and improve on our very selves. How much more can't we make relevant changes to the way our ancestors carried on with their life.

"The Sabbath is made for man and not man for the Sabbath". This was when Jesus' deciples plucked the ears of corn to eat on the Sabbath day to eat when they were hungry and were criticized. Similarly, Jesus healed the man with the withered hand on the Sabbath day and was criticized and he asked wether it was good to allow the man to suffer because it was a Sabbath day. Let us allow the extremists to go their own way. They will continue to live under a bad government if they refuse to exercise their own franchise. How many Seventh day members are standing for election. After all every day is Sabbath day for Alhaji Bawumia but there are some of these Seventh day worshippers who support him. They should go to court and make their case. NPP learnt their lessons when they refused to vote during the change from military rule to democracy.

But, there's one thing l will wish clarification on this, is there any alternative way like voting early in the morning by showing their membership cards to the electoral commission officials and proceed to church or change their scheduled time for worship to different time in order to pave way for them to exercise their civic responsibility and franchise?

Dear brother, we do have an example in the Bible of God showing his displeasure at a man who went to gather firewood on the Sabbath. Do we know why? The Bible does not say. From the Biblical perspective good intentions against God’s express command may not exonerate one from God’s displeasure. If you are a Christian you may have come across one Uzzah who was struck dead for touching the Ark of the Covenant. Our beliefs are not transferable. I respect how you view the Sabbath commandment but others view it differently. To vote for, against or abstain from it are all civic duties. We wish the best for our country and I know you do. May the beauty of our individuality continue to guide us.

My dear Ama, why this reaction. Let’s be kind. We can’t all have the same opinion on an issue. The Sabbath topic is not that meaningful to non-Christians. They can be excused but not so for Christians. For Christians there are those who hold Sunday as the Sabbath and will not compromise on it. Adventist hold Saturday as the true Sabbath day and wish to guard against it being compromised. The Sabbath commandment is of God and not of man. Study it critically and you will understand why the Seventh-day Adventist view the day as a sacred duty and not one to be lightly esteemed. Why do you say, they should go to hell? You may want to expatiate on it unless it was more of a harmless expression of yours. Best.

Dapaa. Yes, Memeneda Dapaa. I never knew there are some prominent chiefs in Ghana who know the sacredness of the 7th Day.

, while Jesus' actions may have appeared to violate the traditional Sabbath laws, his purpose was to emphasize the importance of compassion, love, and mercy over rigid legalism. His actions were not about breaking the commandment but about fulfilling its true spirit and purpose.

The Akans of Ghana have a belief that Saturday is not an ordinary day to joke with. Nananom called it Memeneda Dapaa.

Akan royals do not bury their dead on Saturday. The Asantehene or Dormàahene would never be buried or organised funeral rites on Saturday. Until recently Akans held in high esteem the 7th. Funeral rites were organised on Thursday Yawda.

God says spend the whole 24 hours with me on the Sabbath. The Sabbath is a holy day not a holiday like Sunday.

Please, remember the Sabbath has always been a test of faith in God. These politicians don't think about you because you're in the minority.

The quotation "The Sabbath was made for man, and not man for the Sabbath" is a teaching from Jesus Christ, as recorded in the Gospel of Mark 2:27.

In this quote, Jesus is emphasizing that the Sabbath day of rest was instituted for the benefit of humanity, not the other way around. In other words, the Sabbath was created to provide rest, rejuvenation, and spiritual nourishment for people, rather than people being bound to strict rules and regulations regarding the Sabbath.

Jesus is highlighting that the Sabbath is a gift from God to humanity, intended to:

- Provide physical rest and relaxation
- Foster spiritual growth and connection with God
- Promote community and social bonding
- Offer an opportunity for reflection, contemplation, and rejuvenation

By saying "not man for the Sabbath", Jesus is cautioning against the tendency to prioritize strict adherence to rules and regulations over the well-being and needs of individuals. He is emphasizing that the Sabbath should be a source of blessing, liberation, and joy, rather than a burden or source of stress.

In essence, Jesus is reminding us that the Sabbath is a divine gift, intended to enhance our lives and bring us closer to God, rather than a rigid set of rules that we must follow.

Ghana's current population is over 30 million and out of the figure only 18 million have registered to exercise their franchise. Almost 18 million Ghanaians have decided not to register at all to vote? Can you insult those people?

You people have soon forgotten the plea made by the Adventist church leaders. The various appeals were ignored by the state. They said Ghana is a secular state and that the constitution could not be amended.

Do you know the number of non-Adventists who have decided to boycott this election?

No amount of insult would compel the Adventists to abandon church service to que all the to vote. No amount of pressure could be exerted to coece the Adventists to change their minds.
