  Do you believe Jesus peace upon him is God Almighty? See what Jesus said “You heard me say, ‘I am going away and I am coming back to you.’ If you loved me, you would be glad that I am going to the Father, for the Father is greater than I.” (John 14:28)
  
  “As Jesus started on his way, a man ran up to him and fell on his knees before him. ‘Good teacher,’ he asked, ‘what must I do to inherit eternal life?’ ‘Why do you call me good?’ Jesus answered. ‘No one is good—except God. alone.’” (Mark 10:17-18)
  
  “By myself I can do nothing; I judge only as I hear, and my judgment is just, for I seek not to please myself but him who sent me.” (John 5:30)
  “My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all; no one can snatch them out of my Father’s hand. I and the Father are one.” (John 10:30) needs to be read in the context

  This is why Jesus warned his disciples to confine their preaching to the Israelite and not to go to the Gentiles. He knew they would take his message corrupt it to the point where it would become unrecognizable.
  
  Talking about bribery and corruption,
  Who taught making a living from preaching?
  
  Paul quoted Jesus by saying: “The Lord has commanded that those who preach the gospel should receive their living from the gospel.” 1 Corinthians 9:3 {for more info See 2 Corinthians 11:5-15}
  
  Jesus said “As you go, preach this message: The kingdom of heaven is near. ... Freely you have received, freely give. Do not take along any gold or silver or copper in your belts; take no bag for the journey, or extra tunic, or sandals or a staff; for the worker is worth his keep.” Matthew 10:7-10 Nowhere in the Bible was Jesus quoted with a different teaching.
  
  
  So you see the extortion would continue forever since they have a biblical backing which most pastors would quote to justify their wicked acts against innocent church members.
  And talking of salvation, Jesus said "Do not think that

  "I wish Ghana had few of ur type on our national platforms to put such soul inspiring thoughts across to us every time"
  
  Oh yes, we have so many of his type.
  We are all born good but its the society that corrupts the very fabric of our existence.
  Nothing stops us from doing the opposite. Its the man's world.
  A god has nothing to do with the way we live or die. Not to talk about how we live our lives on this earth.
  
  Do you think, the so called God
  made some of us poor and others rich?Made some of us smart and others foolish? Other nations powerful while other weak and helpless? Ugly and beautiful? Slavery, apartheid, segregation, wars, terrorism, sick children, diseases and all that?
  
  Check into men. We are the causes. And that, no one God, dead or alive causing all these human sufferings.
  
  Well, believe you me, such things like Christianity does not exist beyond this life.
  WE die and leave it behind as new ones are born to replenish the earth.
  The world was not created yesterday or the day before today. And would not perish either.
  It is the people who perish thru death
  
  We all know that religion is man made.
  But we are refusing to accept this simple fact.

  JESUS;HEAVENLY OR EARTHLY?
  
  At the time of Jesus some of The Children of Israels' invisioned a Christ who will destroy the Romans and set them free. In fact, they had a history of accepting prophets who gave them material and earthly gains and rejecting the ones who call for heavenly purposes only. However, Jesus came only for a heavenly cause, and did not offer material or earthly gains, therefore the Childern of Israel became suspicious whether he is the Christ.
  
  Their suspicion was obvious in John chapter 8:12-59 were we see the longest challenging debate where it is very clear the Jews were thinking about material and earthy things, but Jesus is clearly thinking about heavenly calls through his word, for he said “I tell you the truth, if anyone keeps my word, he will never see death. John 8:51”
  
  Jesus is talking about the death that matters to God, a spiritual death {separation from God} but the Jews are thinking physical death, as we clearly see in the way they replied angrily by saying: "Now we know that you are demon-possessed! Abraham died and so did the prophets, yet you say that if anyone keeps your word, he will never taste death. 53 Are you greater than our father Abraham? He died, and so did the prophets. Who do you think you are?" Jesus replied: "Your father Abraham rejoiced at the thought of seeing my day; he saw it and was glad."
  
  I’m asking how did Abraham see Jesus days?. Because he Abraham is not dead spiritually he is alive in God's spiritual kingdom for God himself said “I am the God of Abraham ... God is not the God of the dead, but of the living. Matthew 22:32”
  
  Not surprisingly the Jews misunderstood Jesus again saying "You are not yet fifty years old .., "and you have seen Abraham!" John 8:57” it is very CLEAR the Jews are talking about seeing Abraham in the flesh, but Jesus was talking about the spirit of Abraham and himself been spiritually alive in God and seeing each other through the heavenly revelation they both delivered .
  
  For that is the reason Jesus replied "I tell you the truth ...* before Abraham was born, I AM!*" in other words before Abraham came into existence in the flesh my heavenly revelation existed with God.
  
  Shockingly in the original Greek gospel, Jesus used the word (???????- ginomai) which means "to come into being", see the proof LINK. In other words Jesus could also be saying it was God's intentions for me and Abraham to be spiritually alive even through physical death.
  
  In fact the bible teaches that all of God's messengers were made prophets before they existed in the flesh, as in “The word of the Lord came to me, saying, "Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I set you apart; I appointed you as a prophet to the nations. Jeremiah 1:4-5".
  
  In reality the gospel is telling us that the Jews only see flesh and material but Jesus was all for the heavenly cause. With such an understanding one can now clearly understand John 10:30 "I and the father are one" when one take it out of context it will seem to indicate that Jesus is saying he is equal to God, but in true eastern semetic context Jesus is saying that he and God are one in PURPOSE.
