In most countries it's a crime to deny a child education. Hopefully the same applies to Ghana. Help set those kids free.

Before Jesus' ministry at the age of 30, he learned law, Torah, writing on the papyrus, Greek etc., from the scribes and rabbis in the synagogue, while also working in his father's carpentry shop. This was the system then because they did not separate formal education from the church -- but they had the equivalent of primary and secondary education, the difference was that this was handled by the church. Is that what this pastor is proposing? Or just suggesting not to educate kids at all?

The man must be castrated so that he does not mistakenly father a child. Jesus never had a child, but by the time he began his ministry at thirty, there was no indication that he would be a threat to women, sp there was no need to castrate him. But we cannot take chances with this leader of the Busua Church.

If the person standing infront of you reads and quotes from the Bible and still tells you Jesus/Peter did not learn to read and write so withdraw your kids from school, you do so without asking why he went to school to learn to read and write - then I'm sorry those parents need to have their brains checked.

I am not sure if the arrest will work. As soon as that is effected, people will blame government for all sorts of things.

I still remember Nkrumah's time when I was personally arrested for truancy by Municipal Council operatives/officials and put on board their van.

hmmm...they brought me home and talked to my mother. It ruined the rest of my day. Another time, when we got our break, I decided to take the afternoon off. I could not outrun them. They caught me and this time, they actually brought me back to school.

Talk was Kwame Nkrumah had made education free and therefore nobody had the excuse to stay away from school.

A teenage boy had just gotten his driver's license and inquired of his father as to when they could discuss his use of the car. His father said he'd make a deal with his son: 'You bring your grades up from a C to a B average, study your Bible a little, and get your hair cut. Then we'll talk about the car.'

The boy thought about that for a moment, decided he'd settle for the offer, and they agreed on it.

After about six weeks his father said, 'Son, you've brought your grades up and I've observed that you have been studying your Bible, but I'm disappointed you haven't gotten your hair cut.'

The boy said, 'You know, Dad, I've been thinking about that, and I've
noticed in my studies of the Bible that Samson had long hair, John the Baptist had long hair, Moses had long hair...and there's even strong evidence that Jesus had long hair.'

To this his father replied, 'Did you also notice they all walked everywhere they went?'

Do you know how BOKO HARAM started? It was in a similar format, where people were discourage to go to school, as well as work, because the systems encourage corruptions of all kinds. Watch out, Ghana.

When they are illiterate and ignorant, it'll be easier to mislead them. Such churches must be shut down and their leaders put behind bars forever. This is Boko Haram in Ghana.

We talk about things when we have to DO something about it. If the "mother church" does not agree with this teachings, then they MUST STOP him and remove him from presiding.

I'm totally surprised. If the members should stop working then who will feed them? Won't they use electricity again? This man should be silenced in the church. He should never be given the pulpit to feed God's children with a poisoned word of God.

It is true that Jesus did not attend any formal school and He does not need to.Why?You may ask.
He Himself is the embodiment of Wisdom.
1 Cor.1:24b,Col.2:2b-3.
He is the Word of God became flesh
John 1:14 The Word of God is the Wisdom of God.The Word of God created this World and everything that is in it.(John 1:3)
Though wisdom is not in the classroom,[Wisdom comes from the anointing of Gods Spirit.John 14:26, 1John2:20,27.]
an educated mind with the anointing will be sharper.
Moses who God used to write the first
five books of the Bible attended the best schools in Egypt and at the time,Egypt was the world power.
Another example is Paul though he was injurious to the New Testament church Jesus needed him to write most of the books in the New Testament because he studied under a famous lawyer called Gamaliel.So you see school is very important.

Hummm! Authorities are aware of this but believe me no action will be taken. We have a similar church at Oyibi off Dodowa road. We have reported to Ghana police for the sake of the children and the future generation. Radio stations came to interview them and it was on air. More than a year now they are still in the bush with the children not schooling. NO action from anybody. Humm
