    After the police service, the church is the most corrupt institution in Ghana today! Full of charlatans, crooks and plain thieves!

  • Musa K. 9 years ago

    Please read Philippians 3:18 and Romans 16:17-18. Also read Acts 20:18-35. I have carefully selected these scriptures for you to read, peradventure they may help you understand who Paul really is. Your knowledge of him is war ...

    You need to spend time before God in FASTING & PRAYER. He is the best person to show you who Paul is and not Youtube.

    Musa, your point of the church's 'ups and downs' history justifying current corrupt practices in the Lord's house is dodgy. Whilst I understand that religion is spiritual practice by the ordinary flesh and blood humans there ...

  • Musa K. 9 years ago

    The foundation of Christianity was too deeply laid before the foundation of the earth to be shaken off by any creature or circumstance in our time, or any time in the future.
