John 1:1-17 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. In him was life; and the life was the light of men. And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not. There was a man sent from God, whose name was John. The same came for a witness, to bear witness of the Light, that all men through him might believe. He was not that Light, but was sent to bear witness of that Light. That was the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world. He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not. He came unto his own, and his own received him not. But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name: Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God. And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth. John bare witness of him, and cried, saying, This was he of whom I spake, He that cometh after me is preferred before me: for he was before me. And of his fulness have all we received, and grace for grace. For the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ.

RELIGION IS POLITICS AND MAN MADE, IT WAS MADE TO CONTROL THE MINDS OF THE PEOPLE. THE MOST IMPORTANT THING IN LIFE IS TO STAY AWAY FROM ALL EVIL AND ALWAYS TRY TO DO GOOD, IF YOU CAN.

In fact it is possible to live in this world without believing any religion. There are millions of people doing so all over the world. There are millions in Ghana but they cannot come out to say so because of fear of harm and insults from stupid people like you. I have been doing so since age 9 when I realized that there is no god, and all religions are invented by humans.

There is no god no allah, no jesus, no bible god nothing. no talking snakes, and you can spare us your stupid muhammed prophet nonsense. Grow up, idiot

Jesus birth,lifestyle,death nd ressurection were prophesied by many prophets.Jesus controlled nature,healed the sick,raised the dead etc.Today demons are being cast out,sick healed in his name(u can watch TBJoshua nd pastor chris on the Telly),many bad people hv been transformed etc.
Many things that were prophesied 2000 yrs ago in the bible are happening(matt24,2tim3:1-6).Jesus will soon come for his true followers nd the antichrist will take over the whole earth then u will know if jesus is divine or not.

All those miracles you claim Jesus did have been done by many people called SCIENTISTS. In any case I don't believe Jesus did any miracles. They were made up by later followers to impress people into joining the religion.

God is perfect in his patience and wants all of Adam and his descendants to be saved from the wrong choices in life which will cause them to end up in hell fire. The second coming of Jesus has been predetermined by God and is certain-- it is a matter of time-- which is nearer than we think.

2 Peter 3:9-10 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.

John 3:17-19 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.

Whose slave are you? We are either God's or Satan's by default--no middle ground.

Romans 6:16 Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants (slaves) to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness?

In Daniel 12:4, God gave Daniel the opportunity to know when the time of the end of his will be.

Daniel 12:4 But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased.

"many shall run to and fro"--cars, airplanes, ships, trains, motorbikes.

"knowledge shall be increased"-- the printing machine, mass production, computers, internet service availability, etc.

God wants us to accept eternal life now while we are living.

1 John 5:10-12 He that believeth on the Son of God hath the witness in himself: he that believeth not God hath made him a liar; because he believeth not the record that God gave of his Son. And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life.

Musa,
don't worry. there is no god anywhere. no satan no demons nothing. all there is the physical reality we call the universe. it came about by natural process we have studied and understand to some extent. a god is not even necessary. gods have been invented by people all over the world to fill the gap in knowledge. The bible suggests sickness is caused by spirits. do you still believe that? if so you would not take pills to kill the bacteria in your blood when you get malaria. today we know that no disease anywhere is caused by a demon or evil sprit, but rather by some bacteria virus etc.

Name one technological advancement that came from god or prayer. TV fridge, computer, ac, cement, roofing sheet, car, printer, internet, credit card, tin milk, Milo, cell phone, radio, aircraft, radar, missile, blender, microwave, video, cassette, any thing. Name one that came from a god. Do you have any? Zero. and you claim there is a god who is omnipotent? If he exist then he is rather very impotent and illiterate. Common pen sef, no god ever created one. pen. And yet stupid people like you believe a god created the whole universe. Laughable and very silly.

It is all well to demand that there is no God and that religious education should not be taught. Yet there is nothing wrong in teaching people that the world came into existence without a cause(God)? Do you know that religion is a belief just like atheism? Therefore if people are not suppose to believe and teach that there is a god who created everything, then let nobody teach that there is no God and that world came into existence on its own. What I mean to say is that keep your belief to yourself and let me keep mine.

Atheism is a lack of belief in any gods. Atheists do not claim to know the origin of the universe; however we see that religions and the gods they claim are all man-made. Whether or not there is a creator is something we cannot (yet) answer.

And I don't accept when a religious person tells an atheist to keep it to themselves. Christians and Muslims freely claim the right to preach to others as part of their religious obligations (such as what you see on buses in ghana with the silly preachers). We also claim that right: to make our lack of belief known and to try to explain it.

Say (O Muhammad sal Allaahu alayhe wa sallam):"Shall We tell you the greatest losers in respect of (their) deeds?

Those whose efforts have been wasted in this life while they thought that they were acquiring good by their deeds.

They are those who deny the Ayaat(proofs,evidences,verses,lessons,signs,revelations,etc) of their Lord and the Meeting with Him (in the Hereafter).So their works are in vain,and the Day of resurrection,We shall assign no weight for them.
That shall be their recompense,Hell because they dis-believed and took my Ayaat (proofs,evidences,verses,lessons,signs,revelations etc)and My Messengers by way of jest and mockery.

By the way has anyone his/her faith on you? Would it not be too ancient to start counting from 0,1,2,3, ..because you learnt this long ago when you were a child? I really do not know your beef about another person's faith. Anyway, remember the bible is God's word and is good for all generations.

The creator of the Universe is a covenant God. This is evident throughout the Scriptures.

Adam's sin and hence our sinful inheritance paved the way for death. The wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is Eternal Life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ is the WORD of God. It is this WORD of God who became flesh and dwelt among humanity, and HIS Glory was beheld as the only begotten of the Father, full of Grace and Truth.

Your WORD of God is an expression of God HIMSELF; HIS very person(ality), in the same as your words are an expression of who you are. Infact, your character, by virtue of your words are integral part of your very person. You cannot dissociate your words from your very self.

Creation came into existence by the power of his WORD. Thus, all things came into existence by means of the WORD who is Christ. All things were created by means of HIM(Christ) and for HIM(Christ). The Father loves the Son and has given his Spirit unto HIM , without measure. He who has the Son has Life. He who does not have the Son, the wrath of God remains in HIM.

Christ is the image of the invisible God. Thus, seeing the Son is seeing God (An affirmation by Christ himself unto Phillip, the apostle, for whoever has seen the Son has seen the Father). Blessed are those who have not seen HIM(Christ) in the flesh, and yet believed. The believing in Gospels provokes a desire to study the WORD of God, for Christ is the one who gives us the understanding of God.

The Son is the POWER of God. The Son is the WISDOM of God.

The Father executes his promises for humanity by means of HIS Son, so that the Father may be Glorified in the Son, for all the promises of God are Ye and Amen through Christ Jesus.

Knowing the Son is knowing God, for it is the Son who reveals the Father to anyone whom HE(the Son) pleases.

The fullness of God dwells in Christ. In other words, in him, Christ Jesus, resides the complete nature of God, And God reveals HIMSELF in and through Christ.

There is one God and one Lord, the same Lord who is Lord over all. One cannot by-pass the Son to know God, for whoever does not honor the Son does not honor the Father.

God has so desired that you cannot talk about him fully, without talking about Christ. Infact, it is Christ who is presented to the individual(Salvation), and it is Christ, the Son, who would have to reveal the Father to the individual.

The Holy Spirit points to Christ, for the Spirit does not speak of himself, but convicts(among other works) people unto repentance for Christ to save them. The Son in turn reveals the Father to the individual. All these are done in the Life of the individual as he desired to walk steadfastly in love and in obedience to Christ Jesus.

Whoever, wants to know God, God would allow himself to be known by the individual. HE does so by the power of the Holy Ghost, the convicting power of the Holy Ghost brings the individual to Christ, before the person is acknowledged by God as a HIS child.

Jesus says "No one comes to the Son, except the Father draws that person to HIM(Christ)". Once again, the Father accomplishes that by the convicting power of the Holy Spirit, to the extend that the individual acknowledges the Salvation of God through Christ.

Ladies and gentlemen, seek Christ, desire to know God, and HE would allow himself to be known by you, through Christ.

We are all not children of God. According to God's definition, as many that believes in the Son of God(washed and cleansed by the atoning power of the blood of Jesus Christ) are the children of God. We become adopted children of God, in the eyes of the Father(See Isaiah 53, concerning to the Prophecy about how the atonement of Christ qualifies humanity to become adopted Children of God)

This is the Truth which the Son of God has come down from heaven to testify of and fulfilled it. Let no one deceive you, otherwise. And let no one present to you a Jesus different one, who atoned for the sins of humanity.

It all depends whether, you acknowledge that God is a covenant God, and that He covenanted with Abraham, promising him that, by means if him, the whole world would be blessed. Jesus Christ who came through that lineage- Isaac, Jacob(Israel)... says Salvation is of the Jew.
