This is a magnificent mosque; it was a good idea to tear down the one at Makola. That one did not befit a place of worship in the center of the city.

For a long time mankind has known the world will someday come to an end. Those familiar with the Hebrew Holy Scriptures know that, at this coming end, Elohim, the Creator-Judge of the universe, will resurrect all dead people to stand trial together with those living at the time—sifting out the holy ones for Heaven, while dumping the sinful ones into hell.
Christians believe the faith they profess in any brand of Christianity renders them worthy and eligible for Heaven! It is sad to say, however, that all Christians will be utterly disappointed in this because none of them belonging to the countless and diverse denominations of Christianity, qualify for Heaven!
The truth is that Christianity has no saving power. This is because Christianity is unknown to Elohim since He did not originate it! What this means is that Christianity is outside Elohim’s wisdom and will, and thus, neither gives salvation nor shows the way into Heaven.
The word “Christianity” is not mentioned even once in the English Bible! Yet people, who hold the Bible as their handbook and constitution, read Christianity into it and therefore call themselves Christians!! For Christians, the English Bible is so sacred a book, infallible, the full revelation of Elohim, and thus their surest guide to Heaven!
But alas, whatever Elohim has not taught is irrelevant for mankind’s spiritual wellbeing. Why then would anyone believe that Christianity, which Elohim has not taught, will grant him Heaven? It is a delusion to believe Christianity will lead its adherents into Heaven.
Someone may ask: Does the Bible not mention the word “Christians”? Yes it does in three verses—Acts 11:26, 26:28, and First Peter 4:16—and only in passing, without defining or revealing who these people are! So, why would anyone desire to be a Christian or called one, without knowing who Elohim considers such persons to be?
Of course, Christians believe the Savior-Son of Elohim is called JESUS CHRIST and, therefore, think to have evolved as CHRISTIANS, in and, by this name! This ill-informed confidence of Christians—that Jesus Christ is the name of the Savior from Heaven—is what gives them the false hope of ever being in Heaven.
But their hopes will be dashed in Elohim’s soon-coming judgment! This is because Elohim never named His Son JESUS CHRIST, and those who profess this name profess one who is a stranger to Elohim. They actually profess a phantom; for no JESUS CHRIST lives in Heaven or ever lived anywhere on earth!
Elohim gave His Son a Hebrew name and title that are meant to be honored by all Creation for ever; for who can rename Elohim’s Son? Long before Creation and the Savior’s coming to earth, this Hebrew name and title were known and revered among the angels of Heaven.
Elohim deemed it important and necessary to send an angel on two occasions to announce this Hebrew name to the Savior’s Hebrew “parents” before his birth, so the inhabitants of the earth would never make a mistake in this.
This Hebrew name of the Savior is “Yeshua” which means “Salvation” in English; and his title, “HaMashiach”, means “The Anointed One”. The world has the irrefutable witness of the whole nation of Israel that one of their kind who lived in the flesh among them between 4 BCE-30 CE and revealed himself as the Son of Elohim, was known as Yeshua HaMashiach, and never as JESUS CHRIST!!
Since Yeshua HaMashiach was NEVER called JESUS CHRIST, how could Christians and Christianity be of or from him??
One great revelation Yeshua HaMashiach ever gave of himself is: “I am THE WAY, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me” (John 14:6). Speaking in this wise, Yeshua used the Hebrew word “HaDerech” which means “The Way”.
By this revelation, Yeshua not only reminded his listeners about “HaDerech”—“The Way”—in which all the patriarchs of Israel and their obedient children walked for their salvation (Exodus 32:8, Deuteronomy 9:16, 11:28, Judges 2:17, Jeremiah 7:23, Malachi 2:8, etc.), but also laid claim to being “the way” on which these patriarchs walked into their salvation!
Saul, after persecuting people of “the way” in Acts 9:2, later wised-up to embrace it for his salvation, revealing “HaDerech” in Acts 24:14 as being the holy faith—comprising of “the law” and “the prophets”—that saved his fathers.
But, of course, for Saul and friends, “HaDerech” is the teaching of Yeshua that clarifies all issues of “the law”, together with “the prophets”, and the New Covenant doctrines—which they unflinchingly lived by, while enjoying, effortlessly, those parts of “the law” that are fulfilled in, and by, Yeshua’s sacrifice!
Today, the ONLY faith that saves mankind is same which saved Saul and friends—“HaDerech”—and NEVER Christianity, for all Christian denominations disobey “the law”!!

Insight-to-the-bone, for the first time, you made great sense to me and I must support your views. This building must NEVER be allowed to stand. If allowed, the source of the US$10 million for the project would be tele-misguiding the beneficiaries (of course I mean those miscreants and cut-throats) to start fomenting trouble in this peaceful country. I therefore urge all sensible Ghanaians to say no to that project. Freedom of worship or religion must never be misinterpreted to mean intolerance, moreso when those miscreants call non-muslims "infidels"!!!!

For many Christians, the apostles of the Savior are the surest of people to enter Heaven. Of course, the Bible accounts on the faith of these apostles rightly give Christians this assurance.
Knowing this, every Christian of today’s countless denominations of Christianity, has become hopeful and very optimistic of being in Heaven, simply because he supposes the faith he professes is the same as the apostles professed in their days.
But there is a great contrast between the faith of the apostles and that of Christians. In fact, unknown by many of today’s believers in the Bible, especially Christians, the apostles were never Christians!
This was because Christianity—revealed to be nonexistent in the entire Bible—never existed before or during the days of the apostles, and so they could never have believed it for their salvation. And yet they are, as stated earlier, the surest to be in Heaven.
In Israel, where many Christians wrongly think Christianity emanated from, there is no evidence in its history, even during the era of the apostles, that any one person ever heard of this religion—Christianity—much more subscribed to it! So then, Christianity cannot be the saving religion!
We read in the English Bible that “salvation is of the Jews” (John 4:22) and so, if indeed Christianity were the saving religion, Jews must have been the first to be saved through it, and then proceeded to teach it to Gentiles for their salvation too.
But this is not so! In fact, ever since the inception of Christianity in Antioch, outside Israel, Jews have had nothing to do with it as they see it antagonistic to their faith and salvation; and yet salvation is of the Jews?
The faith the apostles of the Savior subscribed to and professed for their salvation and eligibility to enter heaven is revealed in the Hebrew Holy Scriptures. Though this faith is somehow obscured in the English Bible—a so-called translation of the Hebrew Holy Scriptures acclaimed by Christians as their handbook or constitution—it nonetheless is found there, albeit, with difficulty.
Sadly, Christians who through centuries say they are bible-believers have not found this unique faith of the apostles that qualifies and enables these apostles to enter Heaven, so as to also be blessed by it!
That unique faith of the apostles is known as HaDerech in Hebrew or “The Way” in English. Saul of Tarsus, who was later to become an apostle of the Savior, said in his own words that the people he initially persecuted belonged to “this way” (Acts 9:2), and not to Christianity.
Later on, after Saul had persecuted these people for some time, he subscribed to this faith and joined those who professed it, he talked about it to Felix, a Roman Governor, saying, “But this I confess unto thee, that after THE WAY which they call heresy, so worship I after . . .” (Acts 24:14).
The entire verse of Acts 24:14 spells out in clear detail the substance of this faith of Saul which is called “the way”. The substance of this faith, he says, is all about the faith of his “fathers, believing all things which are written in the law and in the prophets”. Clearly, these articles of Saul’s faith in “the way” are different from those of Christianity, all of whose numerous denominations are disobedient to “the law” and, therefore, are out of “the way”!
If Saul and the other apostles were obedient to “the law” and so would be in Heaven, why would Christians who are disobedient to “the law” (the same law which the apostles obeyed) suppose they will also be rewarded with the same Heaven?
How could anyone think Elohim, the Most High One, would do as to display both injustice and favoritism by rewarding disobedient Christians with Heaven together with obedient people of “the way”? Obviously, a great disappointment awaits all Christians in their quest to enter Heaven and hence my zeal and passion to warn the world: For no one Christian will be admitted into Heaven!!!
Besides all Christians disobeying “the law”, their beliefs are devoid of the wisdom of Elohim. For instance, all Christians believe in a Friday evening burial and an early Sunday morning resurrection of the Savior!
But this cannot be, since the Savior said before his crucifixion that he would resurrect from the grave after three days and three nights as proof of being the Savior-Son of Elohim (Matthew 12:40, Mark 10:34, Luke 9:22, and John 2:18-22). Well, can any being—Divine, angelic, or human—count “three days and three nights” from any Friday evening to the following Sunday morning as Christian clergymen claim they have been able to do?
All Christians are breakers of Elohim’s Sabbath law—a law which, when broken, attracts the death sentence (Numbers 15:32-35)! In this, Christians argue that they are living in an era of Grace, and thus, are so highly favored by Elohim that they can break His laws—which were originally written on rock with His finger in sparks of holy fire—even if the breaking of these same laws brought death to Old Covenant folks! Are Christians the spoilt children of Elohim?
Unbelievably, too much confusion exists among Christians about the permissible age for baptismal candidates, where and how to administer baptism, etc. Because of this confusion, the great ordinance of baptism, commanded by the Savior for obedience by all people desiring to enter his salvation, brings of no benefits to Christians.
Confusion also exists amongst Christians concerning when to observe the Lord’s Supper ordinance. As a result, the Lord’s Supper is now a BREAKFAST eaten daily, weekly, monthly or quarterly, and thus revealing Christians as a disunited people, even though the Savior has commanded its celebration as a memorial of annual essence!
Many more differences and confused practices exist among Christians, making them complete aliens to the wisdom of the Creator. Should I tell what number of Christians will enter Heaven without the wisdom of the Creator in their faith and practices but depending on man-made Christianity? That number is zero, and this will be obvious to all on Judgment Day. Just beware!!
In conclusion, let me say that, the faith called “the way” is, in fact, the “the law” made clearer and more meaningful by the teachings of YESHUA HaMashiach—the Savior-Son of Elohim—and also become less cumbersome for obedience because some parts of it are deemed fulfilled, in and, by Yeshua’s sacrifice at Calvary.
May, all men know that it is the teaching of Yeshua HaMashiach on “the law” of Moses, together with the “prophets” and the entire New Covenant teachings, which constitute “the way”, obedience to which qualifies anyone to enter Heaven, and not what Christianity teaches. Shalom.

Peace, I can understand your confusion! Please take time, and prayerfully read the gospel of John in modern English.

Existence of Christianity in the New Testament.
Acts 11:26 And when he had found him, he brought him unto Antioch. And it came to pass, that a whole year they assembled themselves with the church, and taught much people. And the disciples were called Christians first in Antioch.

Acts 26:28 Then Agrippa said unto Paul, Almost thou persuadest me to be a Christian.

1 Peter 4:16 Yet if any man suffer as a Christian, let him not be ashamed; but let him glorify God on this behalf.

Peace may I remind you that a Christian is a person who has chosen to accept Christ by faith as his personal Savior from sin, and is daily learning to live the Christlike life in order to gain power over his sins. Note the Christian does not obey the Law to be saved; he obeys the Law because He has already been saved (justification). All this is made possible through the grace of Christlike living (sanctification).

"There is therefore now no condemnation (judgment) to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death. For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned (judged) sin in the flesh: That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.

Obedience to God's law is paramount in the believer's life. The relationship the believer has with Christ is mutual. He (the believer) abides in Christ by faith, love, and obedience; and Christ dwells in him by His Spirit providing Him with Spiritual life, light, and strength.

"Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me. I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing." John 15:4-5.

Instead of the Christian obeying the Law to earn righteousness, as the Jews were doing (see Romans 10:1-4), he accepts from God's Spirit the perfect righteousness of Christ in justification (his title to heaven), and sanctification (his fitness to heaven).

At any time, he (the Christian) is declared not guilty because of his faith in Christ.

"Therefore being justified (declared not guilty) by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ: By whom also we have access by faith into this grace (unmerited favor) wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God." Romans 5:1-2.

We should be grateful as Ghanaians for what the South and Kwame Nkrumah has done to mesh this fabric that has yet to be shredded.

My only advise to our fellow citizens is that they should use technology to eliminate NOISE. Perhaps cellphone alerts instead of loud speakers mounted on minarets. Religious noise making has to be abolished immediately, and also sprouting Christian houses of worship must be rezoned and prohibited within residential areas.

the Moslem Community, especially in Nima, could have been better served by a $10 million school instead of a Mosque.A Mosque is the wrong priority.

The ways of deception are the ways of the devil. Let's not fall for his trick that a moon god can also be passed as the God of heaven (Yahweh). We are to "submit to God, and resist the devil, and he will flee" from us (James 4:7). One way we can resist Satan is by not accepting Allah, the moon god, as the God of the Bible.

"The heart (mind) is deceitful above all things, and it is exceedingly corrupt: who can know it? I, Yahweh, search the mind, I try the heart, even to give every man according to his ways, according to the fruit of his doings." Jeremiah 17:9-10

God's love for us has ever been unconditionally redemptive, even when we have been deceived by false prophets, preachers and idols of the heathen. He reads our minds like an open book; and he is the only one who has the right remedy to heal us; let's not deprive ourselves of the joy of a redemptive (saving) relationship with him.

"For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says Yahweh, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you hope in your latter end." Jeremiah 29:11.

Trust God, not another man-- not Buddha, Mohammed, the pope, or any living or dead advocate! Men can make fantastic promises, but have no power to deliver any promise, or give you a chance to prove such promises.

"Thus says Yahweh: Cursed is the man who trusts in man, and makes flesh his arm, and whose heart departs from Yahweh." Jeremiah 17:5.

Why trust God, and not another man?
(because God wants to be our sustainer and preserver, even in the most challenging times of our lives)

"For he shall be as a tree planted by the waters, who spreads out its roots by the river, and shall not fear when heat comes, but its leaf shall be green; and shall not be careful in the year of drought, neither shall cease from yielding fruit. Jeremiah 17:8.

The unfruitful works of the evil one should be history.

"And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them." Ephesians 5:11.

God as a Father wants the sole privilege of having you as his child!-- no sharing!

"Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness? And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel? And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people. Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you, And will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty."
2 Corinthians 6:14-18

I can authoritatively say that President John Mahama had no hand in building of the mosque. It is totally independent of government sponsorship.

The only thing concerning government is the land on which it is building built on as this was a replacement for a mosque that was razed down by Rawlings in in 1980's.

True to say for so many years ago, Europeas and Arabs came to Africa captive our forfathers brutalised them forced them to be christians or Moslem. I personally thought our ancestors did so because they were not educated. But today, we have many educated people in our countries but the educated ones sell Africa People to Arabs to allow them building such mosque in the heart of Ghana. We don't need that. Why not invest in agriculture to feed the People? The Turkish are striving here in Germany but their Governement invest to Spreed Moslem Religion. We should help ourself to find the cause of our Problem to stop believing things that will only lead us to suffer.
