The Bible states Satan will deceive the whole world in the last days of earth's history. Do you know what this means? The two leading religious organizations with the largest number of adherents, 2.2 billion and 1.1 billion, (one Christian and the other of the eastern religions) will be the leading contibuters in the devil's deception. Why? Because they all teach the Immortality of the Soul doctrine and they all have deep pagan background. They also do not recognize Christ as the only mediator between God and man.

Revelation 12:9 And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.

Revelation 12:17 And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.

The Bible often calls Jesus ‘a son of man’ or ‘the son of man.’
‘so will the son of man be’ (Matthew 12:40)
‘For the son of man is going to come’ (Matthew 16:27)
‘until they see the son of man coming in His kingdom.’ (Matthew 28)
‘But so that you may know that the Son of Man has authority’ (Mark 2:10)
‘because he is the son of man’ (John 5:27)
In the Hebrew scriptures, the ‘son of man’ is also used many times speaking of people (Job 25:6; Psalm 80:17; 144:3; Ezekiel 2:1; 2:3; 2:6-8; 3:1-3).

Since God would not contradict Himself by first saying He is not the son of a man, then becoming a human being who was called ‘the son of man’, he would not have done so. Remember God is not the author of confusion. Also, human beings, including Jesus, are called ‘son of man’ specifically to distinguish them from God, who is not a ‘son of man’ according to the Bible.

The Bible says that Jesus denied he is God
Jesus spoke to a man who had called him ‘good,’ asking him, ‘Why do you call me good? No one is good except God alone.’ (Luke 18:19)

And he said to him, ‘Why are you asking me about what is good? There is only One who is good; but if you wish to enter into life, keep the commandments.’ (Matthew 19:17)

Jesus did not teach people that he was God
If Jesus had been telling people that he was God, he would have complimented the man. Instead, Jesus rebuked him, denying he was good, that is, Jesus denied he was God.

The Bible says that God is greater than Jesus
‘My Father is greater than I’ (John 14:28)
‘My father is greater than all.’ (John 10:29)

Jesus can not be God if God is greater than him. The Christian belief that the Father and son are equal is in direct contrast to the clear words from Jesus.

Jesus never instructed his disciples to worship him
‘When you pray, say Our Father which art in heaven.’ (Luke 11:2)

‘In that day, you shall ask me nothing. Whatsoever you ask of the Father in my name.’ (John 16:23)

‘The hour cometh and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth; for the Father seeketh such to worship him.’ (John 4:23)

If Jesus was God, he would have sought worship for himself
Since he didn’t, instead he sought worship for God in the heavens, therefore, he was not God.

Jesus worshipped the only true God
‘that they might know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom you have sent.’ (John 17:3)

When Christians in Northern Ireland continue to kill each other Paa Nii does not characterise Christianity with derogatory names.

Has Paa Nii ever read the history of the Crusaders ? The first holy scripture to arrive on the shores of Ghana was the bible.We are all witnesses to the atrocities of slavery committed by these very Europeans who brought the bible to our shores.

Double standards indeed . If you live in a glass house do not throw stones.

We are all living witnesses to the adultery and money swindling activities of some pastors on the news. We all know of the much publicised paedophilia that rocked the Roman Catholic church in the not too distant past.

Who has branded all christians as paedophiles?

Whether we want to believe it or not, all human beings are either servants (slaves) of God by choice or servants of the devil by default.

Question: Do you know what would have happened to our world if Jesus had not come?

Answer: we will have only one choice: to follow what the devil and his cronies say.

Romans 6:16-18 Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants (doulos--Gk = slaves/servants) to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness? But God be thanked, that ye were the servants of sin, but ye have obeyed from the heart that form of doctrine which was delivered you. Being then made free from sin, ye became the servants of righteousness.

John 10:10 The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.

Remember they don't live by christian standard....so don't judge them by christian standards...

God... you are so ignorant. You want to judge all muslims because of the actions of a few in the Ismalic faith? That is narrow mindedness. Thank God most Christains are not full of hatred of Muslims as you.

If your father gives you a direction to his house and tells you that he lives at Nkawkaw therefore take Accra - Nkawkaw road and you will come to his house but you say no you will take Accra - Aflao road because all roads leads to Nkaekaw. Your father will tell you that then you will get lost and will not get to his house.
God has given man the direction into his kingdom which is found in the mother of all books, the Bible as our road map to his house.
Please all this other roads will not lead you to your fathers house. It is time to repent and begin walking on the road to your fathets house the Bible.

I believe this Paa Nii is Nana Addo follower, dey like to bring confusion into Ghana. N most media stations r supporting that. Human action is different from religious commands, how many times God warns Israel in Bible? N how many times they transgresses against their Lord? Pls go n read de book of Exodus n see how God people murmuring against their prophets n God. So u can't judge religion by people action other then that some of us wouldn't have been Christians now, coz who killed Juses n Zacharia? Israelites n Romans, and now who brought Christianity? So pls write an articles that will bring peace n if u want to preach go to church n preach ur Gospel n not bring war between us. Maybe u r a Nigerian n it pains u that Ghana is enjoying religious peace and u want to course confusion. A true Ghanaian will not write that article all wat is going in this world is politics and fighting for wealth and claiming religious extremist. Boko Haram, who r they? The one who bomb bayelsa Church in Abuja was Christian according to leadership newspaper, so my question is that who is Boko Haram in Nigeria? Politicians in Nigeria knows about them. So Paa Nii ask ur fathers Muslims lived in Ghana n we was peace before Europeans brought us Christianity so let us live in peace even some Christians r arrogance like u

The guiding principle is that the True God, is the covenant God of Israel. In the Scriptures, the references "God"/"The Covenant God of Israel"/"The God of Israel" are used throughout the OT. This is to attest to the fact that the creator of the Universe is a covenant God.

God made a covenant with a people and promised them that He will make them a nation of Prophets/Priests. The Jewish people were entrusted with the ORACLES(sacred commitments) of God. They were given the Law by Moses. Subsequent Jewish Prophets were raised reminding, admonishing, guiding etc. the people with regard to the need to Worship God and observe the commandment of God as given by Moses.

When the Prophet Jonah was confronted at sea, he introduced himself as a Jew and worshiper of the God of Israel who created the heavens and the Earth.

The Jewish Prophets also prophesied about the coming of Jesus Christ, through whom God would covenant with entire humanity, according to the promise that God bestowed upon Abraham, his covenant partner, saying , by means of you(Abraham) the whole world would be blessed. Gentiles(non Jews) are to take note of this arrangement/purpose of God. See the book of Mathew about the Genealogy of Jesus Christ

Most of these Jewish Prophets left their marks in other nations, especially Arab lands, because of their close proximity to Israel.
Jonah's grave is in Ashur(in Assyria Empire), now Mosul(in Iraq(after Babylon conquest of Assyria)). The Prophet Daniel left his marks in both Babylon (Iraq) and Percia(Iran). You may google to find out more about the Prophets. Kings Nebuchadnezar and Darius, all eventually acknowledged that the true God is indeed the God of Israel. Neymann, an army Chief of Syria, acknowledged that, there is no other God, apart from the God of Israel.

I belief that the Assyrians paid heed to Jonah's message because they knew,among other factors, that centuries earlier, their king Sennacherib was humiliated when he had besieged Jerusalem.

Jesus appeared on the scene, exactly at the time prophesied by the Prophets. Where and when he would be given birth to, were all prophesied by the Prophets. The exact time of the commencement of HIS Ministry and its duration were foretold.

Furthermore, the time of his being cut off(crucified) to atone for the sins of the world were all foretold. Please google Daniel's Prophecy about Christ.

All the Jewish rituals, including the animal sacrifices were a shadow of the reality. The reality is Christ- -read the book of Hebrews(the introduction to the book warns us concerning rejecting Christ, the Son of the living God)

Christ himself stressed that Salvation is of the Jew. God has commanded(see transfiguration) that "This is my Son, listen to him"!

Christ has commanded, we observe all things, including Baptism(immersion) in the name of the Father, and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.

Look, we cannot come to God, the covenant God, in our own terms. We are to come to HIM according to the terms given by his Son.

It is significant that you receive Jesus Christ as your Lord and Saviour, acknowledging that the blood that HE shed is what makes you clean before the Father, by so doing you become a child of God. We are all the creation of God, but we are all not the children of God. A child of God is the one who believes that Jesus Christ is the Son of God, and has received HIM as Lord and Personal savior.

God has given you the right to choose Life. He says, "I have laid before you, this day, Life and Death, but choose Life that you may live".

Christ is that Life.
Jesus Christ is the Way, Truth and Life. NO ONE COMES TO THE FATHER EXCEPT BY MEANS OF HIM.

I encourage and challenge you to sit down with family members and talk about these things, in all seriousness, because no amount of religious piousness can please the God of Israel, when we choose not to acknowledge the atonement of his Son and its meaning in our life.

Our righteousness(without Christ) are like filthy rags before God.

God is not interested in punishing the guilt. Therefore HE is more than willing to forgive you of your ignorance, if only you will allow his Son into your life. The Lord can also use you mightily to set others free.

Many people have been brought up in the knowledge of the religions of their forefathers. However, the true God is challenging us to heed to the fact that it takes Christ to make it to God. Infact, on that day Christ is the one who is going to present believers(and doers) in Christ to God, so that God will be God overall(See Rev).

I used to ask myself that it is unfortunate that people from other parts of the world might not have heard the Gospels. However, I have discovered that, even those who have repeatedly heard the Gospel, and we have all the media at our disposal to check things, do not seem to care.

When you approach them with the Truth, they will argue themselves out of the kingdom of God. On the other hand, you can reach out to someone who might not have heard about Adam and Eve before, and yet will receive Christ. I know of someone(a Chinese) who received Christ and Baptized. Infact, he has been involved in a Campus Ministry not long afterwards. Some of the other Chines friends he witnessed to are seriously handling Fellowship meetings, studying the WORD, and fervent in prayers. So what are we saying here? The Gospel is now being preached as a witness to the nations and the end will come.

Remember, that Christ himself acknowledged the inspired OT writings , and even ascribed the writings to himself. The NT are just references and quotations from the OT, proving that HE is indeed the one whom the Prophets wrote about! Christ himself affirmed this fact(see book of Luke and others).

Do not let the fear of man deter you from taking a bold and important decision in your life, because on that day we all would have to give an account as individuals!
