However, it is not important to us what any person or official believes in, with respect to religion. Just as long as they do not allow their beliefs to intrude in matters affecting the public. In the main, government should not use public funds to support any religion, nor should a public official take a government resource (vehicle), to church.

"We destroy arguments and every lofty opinion raised against the knowledge of God, and take every thought captive to obey Christ,(2nd Corinthians 10,5)"
First and foremost, Christianity is more than a religion. It is a relationship with the SON of God, our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
Even if you are born into the religion, a time must come in your that that, indeed HE is your Savior.
It is the belief in your heart that will be credited to you as righteous, and it is the confessions from your lips that will be accredited to you as unto Salvation.
What is Salvation?
It is the saving justice of God, the creator of the Universe. Saving from what, one may ask. Saving from sin and therefore death unto Eternal Life. For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God(the covenant God of Israel, the true God) is Eternal Life through Jesus Christ, our Lord.
The convicting power of the HOLY SPIRIT draws the sinner(who, unknowingly, in bondage) to Christ.
When the spiritual eyes of the individual becomes open, he(or she) will recognize that indeed he had been in bondage.
The convicting power of the HOLY SPIRIT is very crucial because the individual can say or testify, for a certainty, that something unique has happened to him or her. It establishes
peace in the heart and Joy in serving the Lord, with a right conscience.
Our Lord Jesus Christ said of the HOLY GHOST that, the world do not know HIM(HOLY GHOST). The HOLY GHOST convicts the world of sin, righteousness and judgement.
The HOLY GHOST, does not speak of HIMSELF, but testifies of Christ.
The godly sorrow that is experienced in the heart, as a result of the convicting power of the HOLY GHOST brings the individual to Christ, and that individual becomes a child of God.
Yes, for as many that believes in HIM, Christ gives them the authority to become the children of God,(see John), children born, not by the will of man, but by the Spirit of God.
Yes, the true God who covenanted with
Abraham, promising him that, by means of him(Abraham), the whole world would be blessed (Genesis 22,18) for if Abraham was willing to sacrifice his son Isaac(test of obedience) then God would in future sacrifice his Son on behalf of humanity, that Son of God was to come through the lineage of Isaac, Jacob(Israel). Indeed, this promise of God (and ALL his promises) has become Ye and Amen through Christ Jesus.
We are are all the creation of God, but not all are children of God. A child of God is one who believes and has given his life to Jesus Christ. Christ commanded that his children observe all things that he did instruct the apostles to teach us, as written.
Our Lord's prayer, prior to his ascension was and is that we KNOW the TRUTH, and the TRUTH will set us free.
(See John 17, please, read the entire chapter)
When a person is born again, the spirit within him becomes alive and thirst for spiritual food, just like a new born baby that has been born. The new born has to be properly nourished, so it is that the born again person has to desire the sincere milk of the WORD of God that he may grow up to Salvation(See 1 Peter 2,2).
A knowledge of the TRUTH is the key to
Salvation, because the world is full of deception.
The authenticity of the Scriptures is by the fact that Christ himself quoted from the inspired writings, and ascribed the OT writings to himself, saying everything about HIM, as written by Moses, the other Prophets and Psalmist has come to pass(fulfilled).
We are to guide and guard ourselves with what Christ HIMSELF has come to testified of.
Throughout the Bible we see how the children of Israel were corrupted by the idolatry of the nations, and God raising up prophets warning them against sin.
Christ death ends Jewish animal sacrifices, and those of the world(who had no covenant with God).
We all have covenant with the living God through Christ Jesus, who is the lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world.
Therefore, the true God has no partnership in animal sacrifices (1st Corinth 10.20).
Religions may have some form of godliness, but deny the power(of Christ) thereof.
The scriptures makes it clear that an adversary exists who deceives the entire inhabited earth(See Rev). Satan, with all his counterfeits doctrines and ideologies deceives the entire inhabited earth, so we are to stay put in Christ and his teachings, for this is Eternal Life. No amount of religious-city and being pious can please the Father of celestial light without coming to HIM on his mandate or rules.
Christ is the image of the invisible God. All things were created through HIM. He is the WORD of God, thus you cannot talk about the TRUE God without talking about HIM. One comes to God through Christ.
Jesus says who ever does not honour the SON, does not honour the FATHER who sent HIM. And Christ says He will not confess the name of anyone to the FATHER, if that individual fails to confess Christ to the nations.
I encourage everyone to take a step of Faith, by acknowledging the TRUTH and get baptised (by immersion) in a living Church.
Grow in the Lord through Fellowship and knowledge in the WORD, and be a blessing to your family, nation, an instrument to save the world from deception.
This world cannot escape the judgement of God. Day in day out we hear and see shameful things happening in the world. You have to take a stand for Christ, it is your assurance of Salvation.

With that mentality, you are lost my brother. When are you going to extricate yourself from the erroneous belief of getting salvation from Christ.Stop believing in this christian shit and embrace your culture.

It is rather unfortunate that you said nothing than repeating the well-rehearsed abracadabra as in quoting and quoting scriptures from the encyclopedia of superstition...the bible. Should you think a little into my writeup, you would have at least recognized that bapstism; immersing people in water or pouring water on people as welcoming them into a spiritual realm is idolatry.
Bcos the practice implicitly assumes that water has spiritual power. But water like blood, is matter. Free yourself, my friend.
You will soon read the second part that every religion is superstition.
Superstition does not reduce or eliminate ignorance.
Tell me, how does the bible/christianity/knowledge in christ help you know the cause of malaria.....which is the number 1 disease destroying Ghanaians and Africans?
It cant....so it is superstition.

Nicely Put bro! I hope Ghanaians are listening.
Religion is cultural and not universal as most Ghanaians think.If you are an Akan,Akan cultural practices is also your natural religion,same for dagomba,ewe,ga,hausa etc...If you throw away these cultural practices or bastardized it with lsam or christian practices--example marrying traditaionally and then going to church for a wedding,as if the traditional ceremony was inferior,meanwhile its actually reflect your african culture,beliefs and legacy from your ancestors. When obroni christians decide to marry, and go to church for a wedding,do they also end it up with a traditional african ceremony? No!
They only do what reflect their cultural practices which is a white dress church wedding. This shows we're rather confused and blindly copying someone at the expense of our own.
It's evidence that obroni have enslaved us because we feel the need to copy him to validate us even though we have a similar if not superior practice in our culture. So now,we waste more money to do both .
Same with child naming and christening.Traditional naming is your cultural practice and quite beautiful,so why go to church after that to supposely thank a Christian God. Was your African God absence when you were performing the traditional ritual home as your culture demand just like in other cultures do.
We're a bunch of lost people seeking God in the same religion that was used to enslaved us.Christianity only took hold in Ghana in the last 150 or less, years,prior to that, majority of Ghanaians were not christians,and since then,we've stopped thinking as a people and outsource our sense of spirituality to lsam and christinity.
If the people,names,prophets,holy books,places,holy stories,seas,rivers,that makes up the body tenets of your religion does not reflect your own environment,people,holy places,then i am afraid you're lost and praying to the wrong God.
Religion and God is local. If you sit in Africa, and pray to a jewish god via jerusalem or his top-most ambassador according to christians,the pope at the vatican,then i'm afraid your prayers are piling up at the italian and israel embassies awaiting visas to transport your messages to your foreign holy lands before reaching your foreign God/s.

Christianity did not spring up from any of the European countries.St Augustine of Hippo and others were African born Romans.The Europeans embraced it just as we did. The educated Monks led the way in most of the scientific discoveries in Europe.They helped in educating the masses.Christianity did not stop Europeans from progressing.The missionaries even turned our oral languages into written ones.They established hospitals that improved our well-being .The problem is...our own greedy and bogus pastors have turned the whole thing upside down just to enrich themselves.The selfless and God fearing missionaries who built and run the hospital in my hometown were superb from the fifties till 2005.Today,Ghanaians have turned that hospital into a grave yard.
