    IT IS IN THE KORAN THAT MUSLIMS SHOULD ONCE IN THEIR LIFETIME GO TO MECCA. PILGRIMAGE TO ISRAEL IS NOT IN THE BIBLE. CHRISTIANS ARE NOT ADVISED BY CHRIST TO VISIT ISRAEL.

  • Straight Talk 12 years ago

    Who advices Mahama? Who says it is only in Israel that God answers prayers?

  • BlindMan 12 years ago

    You SPUN deep into the trap, but we believe in second(2nd) chances, and hopefully, you'll not repeat the FIASCO.

  • Kwaku 12 years ago

    But your drug addict Akufo Addo went to Israel. If the Catholic Church is rejecting the offer, who cares?

  • KOMFO ANOKYE 12 years ago

    WHAT DO YOU THINK SOMEONE WILL GET BY GOING TO ISRAEL? NOTHING, AFRICANS ESPECCIALLY GHANAIANS ARE THE MOST GULLIBLE PEOPLE ON EARTH. OUR FOREFATHERS KNEW GOD BEFORE THE BIBLE. THE BIBLE WAS WRITTEN BY HUMAN HANDS.

  • KOFI NUA 12 years ago

    WHERE IN THE BIBLE ARE CHRISTIANS ASKED TO VISIT ISRAEL TO PRAY? ARE CHRISTIANS TRYING TO COPY MUSLIMS?

  • Ghana 12 years ago

    Primitive ignorant Ghanaians are confused. Give the people water, toilets, education and stop this nonsens.

  • Kwaku Sampeney 12 years ago

    The stand taken by the Church is commendable

  • KOFI NUA 12 years ago

    ARE CHRISTIANS TRYING TO BE LIKE MUSLIMS? MUSLIMS ARE SUPPOSE TO MAKE A PILGRIMAGE TO MECCA, ACCORDING TO THE PROPHET OF ISLAM. JESUS DID NOT ASK CHRISTIANS TO GO TO ISRAEL TO PRAY. HE SAID GO TO YOUR ROOM AND PRAY QUIETLY A ...

  • Dr Boateng 12 years ago

    All pastors,bishops are 2missionaries and Africans were decieved by them

  • SHALOM 12 years ago

    IF THIS ALLEGATION IS TRUE,THEN THE GOVERNMENT SHOULD BE SERIOUS WITH SERIOUS BUSINESS,NOT THIS.

  • Dr Boateng 12 years ago

    All pastors,bishops,cadinals use 419 system to decieve the people as prayers They are liabilities to the nation!

  • PK 12 years ago

    Mahama is the liability here, not the Catholic bishops. He thinks he can bribe very educated people like Catholic priests? Kwaseato!

  • Be Careful 12 years ago

    We are fortunte to have a man like John Mahama as one of our few presidents who is ready to seek the face of GOD on behalf of the nation.I would describe him as the man with a lion heart and a lamb's heart.Bold and yet very h ...

  • Musa K 12 years ago

    1.Mahama, since when did the Catholic Church represent all Christians in Ghana?

    2.Will God hear our prayers more favourably in Israel than in Ghana?

    Is this what Ghana gets for voting NDC into power?

  • Atikopo#1 12 years ago

    You are an idiot.

    Do you know how long the governemnt has been sponsoring the Hajj?

  • maame 12 years ago

    "...sending pastors to Jerusalem is not the business of government.

    He maintained that, government must not use public funds to sponsor pastors to Israel to pray for the nation."

  • Kano 12 years ago

    Why will a nation of 25 million people have a leader who has lost his sense of governance? An all-expense paid trip for Catholic priests to go to Israel to recite Hail Marys? Doesn't this sound like an exhibition of a critic ...

    Is the Hajj trip for Mallams alright?

    The government is involved with that.

  • Dr. med.William Acquah,Germany 12 years ago

    Catolic church,welldone!Don`t follow these idiots!

  • TAWIAH 12 years ago

    200 Christian pastors sponsor by government on a trip to Holy Land? The land of strife and killing of fellow human beings? The true men of God are not here on Ghana soil. They read the Holy Bible without understanding.

  • truth 12 years ago

    If this sponsorship is true then the government should use that money to drill wells in the villages or construct solar street lights on the N1 or build pedistrian footbridges on the N1 road.

  • Afia 12 years ago

    I totally agree with the bishop because as servants of God, they've also given their lives to serve the nation they are in so why should government use public funds to sponsor them? Because they're servicing the nation/countr ...

  • PAUL NSOR 12 years ago

    I mean if government sponsors hajj pilgrimages and pay for muslims to go to Mecca, what is wrong when the same privilege is extended to christians? There must be equity here, please.

  • KOFI NUA 12 years ago

    THE BIBLE DOES NOT SAY CHRISTIANS SHOULD GO TO ISRAEL TO PRAY. THIS IS UNBIBLICAL.

  • Kofie Bazuka 12 years ago

    Paul it is not the business of government to send anybody to Mecca or Israel. That is the real issue. This NDC government has lost focus. It has no vision for the ordinary Ghanaian.

  • Kofie Bazuka 12 years ago

    This Mahama's NDC government has really lost her focus to care and serve the people of Ghana.
    In times of shortage of power they are thinking of spending of a whopping $2million to send pastors to Israel.
