Tithing is robbing and stealing from God's people !
This is the second and hopefully the concluding part of our discussion on tithing. And let me begin by saying that this article is intended for those who want to know the truth according to the Bible, and are willing to search the Scriptures to see whether these things are so. Acts 17:10-11. In the first part, many were enlightened and some burdens were lifted off many shoulders that have been groaning under the yoke of this bondage brought into the church by greedy or ignorant preachers. Others were mad because their false doctrines and greed and love for money have been exposed. Others were simply ignorant and behaved like the proverbial ostrich that would rather hide its head in the sand than confront error. And some were very indignant, insulting and cursing instead of proving their position by the Scriptures.
As said in the previous post, I used to teach and preach tithing, and when I did, the people just got up and parted with their money. One time, at a church here in Atlanta, Georgia, a pastor friend complained bitterly about the low financial position of his church and invited me to come and speak on tithing, saying his congregation didn't like tithing, and that even weekly offerings were very low. I told him, " Well, it's going to be different on Sunday." Then he asked me, " How ? " I said, " You wait and see ! " As you can imagine, the offering was over and above by about 1000 % the next Sunday. Those who didn't have cash wrote cheques like crazy, and I was proud to coerce them to bring out their money, telling them how they've robbed God and denied themselves blessings, using the "curse" of Malachi 3:9, for good measure ! Finally, I exhorted and commanded them, " Bring all the tithes into the storehouse.....! " I could see the terror on some faces and a lady was literally shaking as she wrote her cheque !
Lord, be merciful to us and forgive us for our many transgressions, twisting Your Word, misapplying Scriptures and abusing Your congregation with our greed and love for money ! Thank You for Your mercy and for Your blood which cleanses us from all sin ! I have repented and cannot in all good conscience preach or teach tithing again, because it is not for the New Testament church ! After carefully studying the Scriptures, I realized that Malachi was talking about corrupt priests in the Old Testament and not the New Testament believers, but these Scriptures in Malachi 3:8-12, have been used for generations to "scam" the Lord's people into parting with their money. Certainly, there are preachers who have been speaking against this abuse of Scriptures and "scamming" the Lord's people, but they have been looked upon with disdain and scorn and venom, but it is better for us to be scorned by mortal men than to fall into the hands of the living God. Hebrews 10:31. " Woe to the pastors that destroy and scatter the sheep of My pasture, saith the Lord." Jeremiah 23:1.
AM I UNDER A CURSE IF I DON'T TITHE ?
No, my beloved, you're not cursed if you don't tithe, and neither are you blessed if you do; God does not need your money in order to bless you ! Abraham was already blessed by God before he ever thought of giving tithes, and so don't let any sakawa prophet, pastor, apostle, bishop, archbishop, or whoever intimidate you by twisting Scriptures to steal your money. The believer should give cheerfully, out of love for the Lord and His work, and not be pressured or threatened or cursed into giving. Our giving could be 10%, 100%, 1000%, 1% or zero %. according to our ability ! The Lord is more interested in our motivation than in the amount we give. Do you remember the widow's mite ? Luke 21:1-4.
What is your motivation for giving money or property to the church ? Is it so that you could be elevated in the church by your pastor ? Is it so that people would know that you are the highest giver in the church ? Is it to support the Lord's work or do you want favours from your pastor or prophet or whatever they call themselves ? Are you under a guilty conscience and do you think giving money to the church would ease the pain ? Did you rob or steal or commit adultery or fornication and expect the pastor to take your money and pray for you ? Remember, the Lord says, " I hate robbery for burnt offering." Isaiah 61:8. He does not delight in "stinking" or blood money ! Alas, many preachers are so greedy for money that they don't even care how you got the money, and would put curses on you instead of blessings.
DID JESUS TEACH ABOUT TITHING ?
Yes, in Matthew 23:23, He acknowledged that tithing was an obligation under the Old Covenant, but even so He taught the Pharisees to show mercy and kindness and faith. Besides, the Old Covenant was still in effect, and Jesus spoke to them as under the Law. The New Covenant was only ratified after His blood was shed on the cross. Jesus did not collect tithes from anyone, though He came to die for all mankind, therefore don't allow any greedy or ignorant pastor, prophet, apostle, bishop or archbishop to bamboozle you into paying tithes.
WARNING TO FALSE PROPHETS AND PASTORS
All over Ghana, churches are springing up everywhere like mushrooms and this is a good thing only if the motivation is right. But the truth is many are in the ministry not because the Lord has called them, but because they want to make easy money from gullible people who don't know the Bible. They love your money more than they love your soul. They are in it for the money; it's all about the money. God has not sent many of them yet they run, giving false prophesies and vain promises to helpless people. Jeremiah 23:21; Ezekiel 13:1-23. The Lord will deliver His people out of their hands, but the people need to be wise, and stop giving their money to greedy wolves in sheep's clothing. These false pastors and prophets need to start their own businesses to make their money, and stop fleecing the people in the name of the Lord for judgment is coming and has come !
BLESSED OR CURSED ?
Finally, if anyone feels they are being blessed for giving tithes, good for them, and they can continue to do so if they like. But if you feel you're under a curse, I can assure you that it is not because you don't pay tithes, but it could be something else. The Lord Jesus became a curse for us so that the blessings of Abraham shall be our portion. Galatians 3:13-14. If there is any sin in your life, confess it before the Lord and ask for forgiveness. Change your ways and do what is pleasing to the Lord and let His blessings follow you.

PASTORS ARE THIEFS.
CHRISTIANISTS ARE NOT ONLY HYPOCRITES, SAYING THEY BELIEVE IN WHAT THEY TRUELY DO NOT BELIEVE AND CANNOT BELIEVE IN, THEY ARE ALSO SO BRAIN-DEAD. IT TAKES ONLY A SICK-BRAINED TO BELIEVE THAT ONE INDIVIDUAL IS MAN, HOLY SPIRIT, GOD, LORD, MESSANGER, MESSIAH, WHITE MAN, BLACK MAN, FATHERLESS, HAS FATHER, SEXLESS, HAD SEX, ETC. AND DIED IN 001BC FOR YOUR SINS OF 2013 AD AND HE ROSE AGAIN AFTER THREE DAYS AND VANISHED INTO THIN AIR. AND WAS NOT THERE FROM 1455 TO 1955 OF YOUR HOLOCUAST, (THE WORSE HOLOCAUST IN HUMAN HISTORY THAT CANNOT BE COMPARED TO ANY SUFFERING IN HISTORY), THEN HE RETURNED AFTER THAT AND FORGAVE YOUR 500 SOLID/SORDID YEARS HOLOCAUSTERS, BUT IS HOLDING ANGER AGAINST HITLER’S 5YEARS HOLOCAUST OF ASKANAZITES(THEY ARE NOT JEWS, THEY ARE ASKANIZITES FROM AZKANAZIME IN THE CAUCUS), ETC. NO SANE BRAIN CAN TAKE THIS CRAP. CHURCHIANITY, THE RELIGION(OPIUM RATHER) OF THE SICK-BRAINED, IS THE WORSE KILLER OF GHANA AND AFRICA’S PROGRESS !.
THESE CHURCHIANITY CHURCHIANISTS ARE THE BIGGEST FOOLS AND THIEVES ON EARTH. !!!!
I WENT TO WATCH THEM IN A CHURCH ONE DAY AND SAW HOW REALLY INFERIOR-BRAINED THEY CHRISTIANS ARE.
THE PASTOR SAID AT THE END "NOW PUT YOUR HANDS IN YOUR POCKETS, EVEN IF YOU HAVE MILLIONS, BRING IT TO THE SMALL BASKET AND WALK THIS WAY OR THAT WAY.
I WATCHED THEM ALL GETING UP AND DOING THAT AND SHAKING THEIR FOOLISH BODIES LIKE INTOXICANTS. I FELT SO INSULTED AS AN AFRICAN LOOKING AT THOSE MORONS.
LETS BE HONEST ABOUT IT TO THE DEEPEST OF OUR HEARTS. HOW ON EARTH CAN ANY CHRISTIAN EXCEPT AN INSINCERE AND DISHONEST FOOL, CONVINCE HIMSELF/HERSELF AND ANYBODY(EXCEPT A BLIND SINGING-DANCING MORON) THAT JESUS 1. "JESUS IS GOD" 2. "JESUS IS GOD'S SON" 3. "JESUS IS LORD" 4. "JESUS IS WHITE" 5. "JESUS DIED FOR SOME SINS WITH HIS BLOOD" 6. “JESUS IS THE WORLD”, 7. “THE WORLD WAS MADE FOR JESUS” 8. “JESUS IS GOD IN HUMAN FORM WHO CAME DOWN TO EARTH” TO EAT AND SHITT AND GET KILLED ETC. AND A WHOLE LIST OF FOOLISH AND UNTHINKING THINGS.
THESE FOOLISH CHURCHIANISTS AND CHRISTIANISTS AND THEIR STEALING PASTORS SHOULD SHUT THEFUCK OF THEIR DEAD BRAINS OFF AND ALLOW GHANA AND AFRICA TO GROW.
ALL THESE CHRISTIAN FOOLS SHOULD Google THE FOLLOWING AND LEARN SOME COMMON SENSE AND COMON TRUTH:
Akhenaten
Ray Hagins
Ashra Kwesi
FIRST THINGS FIRST.
WHAT YOU SHOULD DO FIRST IS CURE THE VERY, VERY SERIOUS DEGRADATION IN THE MENTAL CONFUSION AND USELESSNESS OF GHANAIANS WHICH IS AS A RESULT OF CHURCHIANITY AND CHURCHEOLOGY AND THE "WHITE" JESUSSIC NONSENSE THAT HAS HIJACKED THIS BEAUTIFUL COUNTRY.
HOW CRIMINAL YOU PASTORS ARE THAT YOU HAVE TURNED THIS BEAUTIFUL COUNTRY INTO A MORONIC ONE CRYING MEANINGLESSLY TO SOME SPOOKY JESUS. YOUR CHURCH AND CHURCHIANITY IS THE REAL OPIUM OF THE MASSES TODAY, AND YOU KNOW IT YOURSELVES.
SPECIAL MESSAGE FROM THE EVIL POPES OF ROME :
(1) "I hereby decree today in the year of our lord 1455, that black people are inferior BY gEN. 9:20, and are animals, and should be taken and shipped by europeans and be sold in the americas. The first slave ship-load shall be mine, to be called J esus Christ of lebeth, and to be captained by my rev. missionary john hawkings. let all ship-loads and all enslavers of Africans pass without let...."
-by my order. nicholas viii, pope, vatican, 1455.
(2) "My priests and pastors fucking male children's anuses, and my Vatican bank involving in International Money Laundering have reached un-imaginable dimension"
- My words, Ratsinger Benedict, pope, vatican, 2010
-bbc 21/12/2010
(3) “Give the inferior Africans the bible and the church and the christian doctrine, and let them know by it that they are inferior, and that Jesus and God are our colour, and thus you would have removed the sense of self from them and made them subservient to us and our colourfor ever. The bible and christianity is the weapon, and there is no better weapon. we shall control them and their resources in perpertuity”.
- Willie Lynch, british enslaver, Jamaica, 1712
“With our overthrow of Kwame Nkrumah, we have removed light from the eyes of black people, and they will never be able to see light again without Nkrumahism”.
- British MP, Hse of “ lords”, 1966
THE WORSE THING EVER TO HAPPEN TO GHANA AND AFRICA IN RECENT YEARS, INDEED ALL OUR LIFE ON EARTH , IS PRIESTS, PASTORS AND CHURCHIANITY, (WHAT THEY CALL “CHRISTIANITY”).
THE GREATEST THIEVES AND ARMED ROBBERS ARE PASTORS AND THE POPE HIMSELF. THEY HAVE STOLEN THE PEOPLE AND STATE, CONFUSED THE PEOPLE AND STATE, EMBEZZLED THE PEOPLE AND STATE AND CONFUSED AFRICA AND AFRICANS FOR A VERY LONG TIME. THE POPE MAKES OVER $150MILLION DOLLARS FROM POOR AFRICA ALONE, EACH YEAR, AND FOR HIS PASTORS, NOBODY CAN COUNT HOW MUCH THEY STEAL FROM THE MASSES EVERY YEAR.
LETS FACE IT,
WAS JESUS NOT BLACK?
DID NOT THE EURO-SATANS MANIPULATE THE BIBLE AND FIX RACISM IN IT AND SLAVED US WITH IT. (SEE Gen 9:20-27) . I THINK WE NEED TO SUSPEND RELIGION FOR 10YEARS IN GHANA , AND SEE HOW THAT ONE ALSO WORKS WITHOUT THESE POPETRICTIANS AND PASTORTRICIANS.
IF A GHANAIAN PRESIDENT CAN SAY THAT HE WISHED GHANA WAS A PRAYER HOUSE OR WHATEVER, THAT TELLS HOW FAR STILL WE HAVE TO GO IN TRYING TO BUILD THE COUNTRY.
THE 8TH WONDER OF THE WORLD IS THAT AFTER 500YEARS OF SLAVERY, HITLERY, HOLOCAUST AND WORSE BY EVIL EUROPEANS, EVEN OUR “PHDs”, “PROFESSORS” AND PRESIDENTS, STILL KNEEL DOWN AND CRY B4 A WHITE GHOST, MACHAELANGELO'S homosexual UNCLE WHOM THEY LIEINGLY CALL JESUS CHRIST, AND BELIEVING THAT THAT HOMOSEXUAL PHOTO AND THESE NUTS OF EUROPE WHO HATE THEM SO MUCH, ARE THE ONES GOING TO "SAVIOUR" THEM FROM EVERYTHING. WHAT MORONIC BLINDNESS IS THIS ?. WHAT MENTAL INCAPACITY IS THIS?.
DO ALL THESE CHURCHIFIED-TO-DEATH CHRISTIANS KNOW THAT:
1. ENSLAVING AFRICANS BY EUROPEANS WAS STARTED BY KING JAMES’ BIBLE AND CO-FIXING RACIST STUFF INTO THE BIBLE TO THAT EFFECT? (SEE GEN. 9:20-27) – the lies about “Noah and his children”
2. IT WAS THE POPE OF THIS SICKNESS CALLED CHRISTIANITY,POPE NICHOLAS VIII(NICK-HOLE-ASS VIII) WHO IN 1455 USED THE ABOVE WORD TO CALL FOR, INSTRUCT, ENFORCE, FINANCE AND PARTAKE IN THE SLAVERY OF AFRICANS.
3. THE FIRST SHIP THAT LOADED THE FIRST AFRICANS AS SLAVES TO AMERICA WAS CALLED "JESUS CHRIST OF LEBETH" (LEBETH OR LAMBETH IS A PLACE IN ENGLAND WHERE HOMOSEXUAL CHURCH PEOPLE GATHER YEARLY TO FUCK EACH OTHERS ANUSES).
4.THE FIRST CAPTAIN OF THAT SHIP WAS A "REV. FATHER" CALLED JOHN HAWKINS, WHO WAS REWARDED WITH “SIR” BY THE AFRICA-HOLOCAUSTING QUEEN OF ENGLAND THEN, FOR THE NUMBER OF US HE MURDERED AND GAS-CHAMBERED AND MUTILATED AND GAVE TO FISH TO EAT.
5. THE FIRST AFRICAN DROPPED FROM THAT SHIP INTO THE SEA FOR FISH TO EAT WAS A 12YEARS OLD GIRL WHOM HAWKINS RAPED AND KILLED, WITH BIBLE HANGING ON TOP OF HIS BED IN THE CABIN.
YOU FOOLISH AFRICANS SHOULD STOP CRYING OVER SOME SPOOKY JESUS CHRIST AS "SAVIOUR" WHO IS NOT GOING TO SAVE YOU FROM NOTHING.
THE REAL SAVIOUR, MESSIAH OSAGYEFO KWAME NKRUMAH, SAVED ALL OF US FROM SLAVERY AND COLONISATION, AND GAVE ALL AFRICAN INDEPENDENCE. THAT WAS REAL SVIOUR BECAUSE WE ALL SAW IT LIVE, AND WE WERE ALL REALLY SAVED AND STILL SAVED AND LIVING FREE FOR EVER. ASK THE RELIGIOUS PEOPLE WHAT SAVIOUR THING CHRISTIANITY AND ISLAM DID FOR US WHEN THEY BOTH MET US IN SLAVERY IN THE HANDS OF THE DEVILS OF EUROPE?. WHERE WAS RELIGION AND ITS SAVIOURS?.
USE YOUR SENSES!. IF JESUS IS TO SAVE YOU FROM YOUR SINS, WHAT IS HE TO SAVE EUROPE FROM, WHO DON'T BELIEVE IN HIM. HOW MUCH SINS HAVE YOU AFRICANS DONE IN COMPARISM TO THE CRIMES OF YOUR HOLOCAUSTER EUROPE WHO ENSLAVED YOU AND KILLED YOU AND HITLERED YOU AND NAZIED YOU 500YEARS. WHERE WAS YOUR JESUS ALL THAT TIME? AND WHAT DID HE DO ABOUT THAT? WHY DID HE NOT SAVE YOU THEN WHEN YOU NEEDED SAVING?{Come on Talk to Me!). HE DID NOT EVEN RAISE A FINGER AGAINST YOUR NAZI HOLOCAUSTERS. AND THEY NEVER GIVE HIM A HOOT WHEN THEY KILL YOU AND ENSLAVE YOU AND COLONISE YOU.
FOOLISH AND MORONIC AFRICAN CRIERS FOR SPOOKY JESUS, WHEN WILL YOU USE YOUR SENSES?.
MENSAH OTABIL, DUNCAN WILLIAMS, THE IMAM SHARABUTU OR WHAT NAME HE CALLS HIS AFRICAN SELF, AND EVERY OTHER LIAR-PASTOR ARE NOTHING BUT DOGS IN CHAINS OF THE EVIL FOREIGNERS WHOM THEY USE TO PERPETUATE THEIR COLONISATION AND BRAIN-WASHING ON YOU AND COLLECT ALL YOUR DONATIONS AND SHARE WITH THE POPES OF ROME, WHO ARE ALSO HOMOSEXUALS ANYWAY.
CHURCHIANITY = THIEFIANITY !!!
WHEN I WATCH THE CHURCH IN AFRICA CLOSELY, AND HOW THE DEVILS OF EUROPE HAVE USED IT IN AFRICA, I FIND UNDOUBTEDLY BEYOND THE SHADOW OF ANY SHADOW OF DOUBT THAT:
(1) The worse thing ever to happen in the life of black people is the greatest lie
that jesus was white and the saviour of us.
(2) “Churchianity or Chris-tianity makes Africans or Black people silly, stupid, cowardly, unthinking, “white” people-fearing and worshipping, corruptive, Zombie-ic, afraid, foolish, morally-hypnotised into foolishness, action-less, frozen-skinned and Frozen-brained, cannot think critically, self-inferiorating, moronic, believing-in and dancing to any nonsense and crap that cannot be explained or even understood, satisfied-with-poverty and wretchedness, unwilling to speak or accept the truth against evil europe(500years holocauster, satan’s home and home of homosexuality), willing to bend down at the knees of thieving europe and give them all their god-given resources in turn for cramps and “loans” etc. , willing to be under the feet of evil europe forever, susceptible to any kind of illogical beliefs and foreign colonization, and neo-colonization and to be permanent slaves to evil europe forever, un-wlling forever to get de-colonised, difficult to admire or even understand the urgent need for African Emancipation and Unity . There is something really fundamentally wrong with the thinking of people of our race who believe in the church” . –Kunta Kinte
God Bless Africa, And curse evil europe(Africa’s REAL ENEMY, HITLER AND HOLOCAUSTER), and curse them and their dirty-filthy-nasty ancestors, again and again, Amen!! - SAY IT LOUD !.
THESE STUPID CHRISTIANS, THESE FOOLS, THESE COLONISED, THESE WORSE THAN SENSELESS THINGS, GO LOOK FOR REAL KNOWLEDGE AND DECOLONISATION, AND STOP SINGING AND DANCING FOOLINHLY TO EVIL EUROPE’S SERVICE AGAINST YOURSELVES AND YOUR ANCESTORS. CHRISTIANITY IS THE GOSPEL FOR WHITE SUPREMACY, PERIOD. ITS DANGEROUS AND EVIL FOR AFRICA AND AFRICAN EXISTENCE. CHURCH IS THE OPIUM OF THE AFRICAN MASSES, THE WORSE THING THAT EVER HAPPENED TO AFRICANS. THINK IT OVER, DON’T ANGER IT OVER!. USE YOUR HEAD SERIOUSLY AND YOUR HONESTY SERIOUSLY!. STOP BEING THE MORONS OF THE EARTH !!!

Our giving could be 10%, 100%, 1000%, 1% or zero %. according to our ability ! The Lord is more interested in our motivation than in the amount we give. Do you remember the widow's mite ? Luke 21:1-4.
What is your motivation for giving money or property to the church ? Is it so that you could be elevated in the church by your pastor ? Is it so that people would know that you are the highest giver in the church ? Is it to support the Lord's work or do you want favours from your pastor or prophet or whatever they call themselves ? Are you under a guilty conscience and do you think giving money to the church would ease the pain ? Did you rob or steal or commit adultery or fornication and expect the pastor to take your money and pray for you ? Remember, the Lord says, " I hate robbery for burnt offering." Isaiah 61:8. He does not delight in "stinking" or blood money ! Alas, many preachers are so greedy for money that they don't even care how you got the money, and would put curses on you instead of blessings.
DID JESUS TEACH ABOUT TITHING ?
Yes, in Matthew 23:23, He acknowledged that tithing was an obligation under the Old Covenant, but even so He taught the Pharisees to show mercy and kindness and faith. Besides, the Old Covenant was still in effect, and Jesus spoke to them as under the Law. The New Covenant was only ratified after His blood was shed on the cross. Jesus did not collect tithes from anyone, though He came to die for all mankind, therefore don't allow any greedy or ignorant pastor, prophet, apostle, bishop or archbishop to bamboozle you into paying tithes.
WARNING TO FALSE PROPHETS AND PASTORS
All over Ghana, churches are springing up everywhere like mushrooms and this is a good thing only if the motivation is right. But the truth is many are in the ministry not because the Lord has called them, but because they want to make easy money from gullible people who don't know the Bible. They love your money more than they love your soul. They are in it for the money; it's all about the money. God has not sent many of them yet they run, giving false prophesies and vain promises to helpless people. Jeremiah 23:21; Ezekiel 13:1-23. The Lord will deliver His people out of their hands, but the people need to be wise, and stop giving their money to greedy wolves in sheep's clothing. These false pastors and prophets need to start their own businesses to make their money, and stop fleecing the people in the name of the Lord for judgment is coming and has come !
BLESSED OR CURSED ?
Finally, if anyone feels they are being blessed for giving tithes, good for them, and they can continue to do so if they like. But if you feel you're under a curse, I can assure you that it is not because you don't pay tithes, but it could be something else. The Lord Jesus became a curse for us so that the blessings of Abraham shall be our portion. Galatians 3:13-14. If there is any sin in your life, confess it before the Lord and ask for forgiveness. Change your ways and do what is pleasing to the Lord and let His blessings follow you.

the salvation business is a lucrative one. No guaranteed results and no money back but unbelievably, the educated and illiterates alike are quiet happy and willing to part with their money in return for empty promises. Religion is a believe, no evidence or prove is required. Quiet frankly, it amazes me that not many people are into the salvation business given that you don't need a licence to practice it. Plus there are loads of suckers willing to part ways with their money.

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.

65 reasons to believe that Jesus did not die on the cross
1. Why crucifixion?
Jews wanted him to be killed through crucifixion, so they can prove that Jesus is not a beloved of God, rather the curse of God is on him. Jews could have killed him easily as they were in hundreds of thousands in number and very strong. If killing should have been their desire, they could have done it easily. Just like they paid thirty pieces of silver to one of his disciples, if they would have paid him more, he might have done this service too. But they wanted him to be crucified so they can prove that he is not from God, rather he is an imposter and a fabricator. If he was from God, then God will definitely save him. May be that was the reason that Jesus was so reluctant to suffer on the cross.
2. Who wanted him to be crucified?
Two of Jesus’ disciples commented (in Luke 24:20) as follows:
And how the chief priests and our rulers delivered him to be condemned to death, and have crucified him. (Luke 24:20)
They all say unto him, Let him be crucified. And the Governor said what evil hath he done? But they cried out the more, saying Let him be crucified…. Then answered all the people, and said, His blood be on us, and on our children. (Matt 27: 22-25)
3. Crucifixion was demanded by the Jews
When the chief priests therefore and officers saw him, they cried out, saying, Crucify him, crucify him. (John 19:6)
The Jews answered him (Pilate), We have a law, and by our law he ought to die, because he made himself the Son of God. (John 19

Evang. Mensah in fact you have spoken very well. I see that most of the churches in the country have shifted the core purpose of the work and have now turned into money making ventures. It is very sad to see a person covering himself with big names like Bushops Archbushops Pastors Dr many titles to themselves where they got them is unknown convincing people to bring all theier monies on the in the name of Eccl 11:1 and using the money to buy big houses and cars whiles most of the people in the same church find it difficult to raise even ghs50 as capital to start small work to survive and i see all these such big title holders as ''thieves'' rather than 'man of God'' so they should change i know it will not go well with others but the truth is what i have said take it or .......
