    MANY PASTORS AND CHRISTIANS IN GHANA ARE JUSTT IGNORANT AND SEMI-LITERATE PEOPLE. THEY TAKE THE BIBLE LITERALLY. THE BIBLE IS DEEPER THAN WHAT IT IS. YOU HAVE TO UNDERSTAND IT GEOGRAPHICALLY, HISTORICALLY AND CULTURALLY.

    But you seem to contradict yourself. The initial comment from the Pope if if someone does not know God he/she can go to heaven and you said the Pope is right because he has deeper understanding. But here you are quoting the f ...

    You may help me locate a passage in the bible where God says 'All souls are mine'. Now, in Pro,16;4 says God made the Wicked man(sinner)and set him aside for the day of trouble. What you call good deed, may be as filty as a ...

    Why is it difficult for you to accept Jesus as God? Jesus is not man like me and you, He is neither an angel nor prophet, so what is He? GOD. Read 1st timothy3:16 and stop doubting.

    What the AUTHOR SAID the Pope said is not logical. I agree with you. If you read the article again, you will see that there is nothing in it to support the title. The title is fabricated. The Pope never said that.
