  With due respect, I would like to point out that while Christians do not encourage animal worship because Jesus is the sacrifice, and Christians believe in the transforming power of the Holy Spirit, both systems seek the good of man. Jesus goes back to the beginning of creation for explanations and therefore dwells on the love of God and the vulnerability of man.

  THERE ARE MANY WAYS TO GOD. JESUS IS ONE WAY, JUST AS BUDDHA IS ANOTHER. LETS OPEN OUR MINDS AND SEE THE LIGHT.
  
  THERE WERE RELIGIONS THOUSANDS OF YRS BEFORE CHRISTIANITY.

  Kofi, Jesus is the only Way TO God.
  
  "Jesus said unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man comes unto the Father (God), but by me.
  
  God forbids his people to have idols.
  "You shall have no other gods before me. You shall not make unto yourself any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth: You shall not bow down yourself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD your God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me..." (Exodus 20:3-5).
  
  Keil and Delitzsch Old Testament Commentary
  Exodus 20:3
  The First Word. - "Let there not be to thee (thou shalt have no) other gods ??? ?? ?? ," lit., beyond Me (?? as in Ge 48:22; Ps 16:2), or in addition to Me (?? as in Ge 31:50; De 19:9), equivalent to ???????? (lxx), "by the side of Me" (Luther). "Before Me," coram me (Vulg., etc.), is incorrect; also against Me, in opposition to Me. (On ??? see Ex 33:14.) The singular ???? does not require that we should regard Elohim as an abstract noun in the sense of Deity; and the plural ????? would not suit this rendering (see Ge 1:14). The sentence is quite a general one, and not only prohibits polytheism and idolatry, the worship of idols in thought, word, and deed (cf. De 8:11, De 8:17, De 8:19), but also commands the fear, love, and worship of God the Lord (cf. De 6:5, De 6:13, De 6:17; 10:12, De 10:20). Nearly all the commandments are couched in the negative form of prohibition, because they presuppose the existence of sin and evil desires in the human heart.

  YOU PEOPLE ARE NEGLECTING EVERYTHING OF US, AND SAYING IT'S FROM THE DEVIL BUT OF THE WHITES AS FROM GOD. YOU'VE GIVEN MANY REFRENCES FROM THE BIBLE, THE QUESTION IS WHO WROTE THE BIBLE? THE BIBLE WAS WRITTEN BY HUMAN HANDS AND IT DID'NT FALL FROM THE SKY. THE EXISTANCE OF THIS EARTH IS MILLIONS OF MILLIONS OF YEARS, AND THE BIBLE WAS WRITTEN LESS THAN TWO THOUSAND YEARS AGO. SO WHAT ABOUT OUR FOREFATHERS WHO LIVED BEFORE THE BIBLE, DID THEY KNOW THE EXISTANCE OF GOD OR NOT? YES OUR FOREFATHERS KNEW GOD BEFORE THE BIBLE. THE BIBLE PROVES THE EXISTANCE OF THE EARTH AS SIX THOUSAND YEARS BUT IT'S NOT TRUE. JESUS CAME AS A MESSENGER OF GOD BUT NOT A SON OF GOD B'COS GOD HAS NO WIFE TO GET A SON. RELIGION IS POLITICS AND MAN MADE, IT WAS MADE TO CONTROL THE MINDS OF THE PEOPLE.

  CREATION is not God. This is a big big unmeasurable difference!!!
  God was a human called JHWH/JHRH and is a title translate means Wisdom King/Queen. Jesus never existed.

  Before Christianity came to Gold Coast and now Ghana,chiefs believed in heavenly God.
  This is why when pouring libation , a chief will first show his drinking glass or calabash to the Heavens before throwing some on the ground .
  I am with the opinion that if God disapproves of chieftaincy it woul've been abolished by now . Nene Akuoko , thanks for your wise advise .
