  • Bo Ho Bio 11 years ago

    No need to insult, what is wrong if he does not believe in God? That is his choice, besides we do not have proof of the existence or otherwise of God. We do not believe there is air, we know there is air. We do not know th ...

    There is no need to insult SAY IT LOUD. He is not saying there is no God, what he said makes some sense. The Pastors are only there to collect the congregations money to use it for their own business. They don't even use a ...

    That the person does not believe in Chritianity doesn't mean he does not believe in God .God does not have a religion.So Insolence,you are rather the fool.

  • TOGBE GANYO 11 years ago

    CHURCHES ARE BUSINESSES RATHER THAN WORSHIP PLACES. SEE HOW WOMEN DRESSES AND SIT IN THE FRONT ROWS. ITS A SHAME. THE POORS GIVING MONEY TO THE PASTORS AND THE PASTORS SLEEPING WITH PEOPLE'S WIVES AND CHILDREN.

    RELIGION IS POLITICS AND MAN MADE. IT WAS MADE TO CONTROL THE MINDS OF THE PEOPLE.

  • Affum 11 years ago

    This is not a matter of whether or not he believes in God or not, the so called pastors and Rev, etc, etc are mostly criminals in the society, they use God`s name to get rich from the ordinary poor Ghanaians. Let them say, si ...

    Today, you can even bribe these wolf in sheep clothing pastors to prophesy election results in your favor so that if you don't win you'd say you've been cheated. sounds familiar?...

  • SAY IT LOUD ! 11 years ago

    I DO NOT SUPPORT PASTORS AT ALL, BUT LETS BE HONEST HERE. THE ELECTION RESULTS HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH PASTORS.
    BUT EVERYTHING TO DO WITH DISHONESTY AND CHEATING.

    I, SAY IT LOUD !, I WAS IN GHANA DURING THE ELECTIONS AND T ...

    The so-called pastors are deceptive,prey on the mentality of their followers,live unBiblical livestyles and engage in behaviours that will shame Sodom and Gomorrah.These were not the type of leadership positions Jesus preache ...

    I don't like big gov't but a fragile democracy of ours needs "checks n balances". Every kilometer you make in ghana there is a church and yet the more people sin.
    The gov't has to put a moratorium on establishment of churc ...

    Pastors are only interested in MONEY MONEY AND MONEY! In any case, the picture does not represent a church in Ghana! Our Church environments are not as clean as the one above!

  • Osagyefo Kantinka - Bretuo Hene 11 years ago

    Every church money belongs to Almighty
    God. If any Pastor wants to claim
    church money as it belongs to him or
    her, pray for that pastor for forgive-
    ness of sins for he/she is dead al-
    ready.

  • KOMFO ANOKYE 11 years ago

    RELIGION IS POLITICS AND MAN MADE. IT WAS MADE TO CONTROL THE MINDS OF THE PEOPLE. OUR FOREFATHERS KNEW GOD BEFORE THE BIBLE.

  • Serebour 11 years ago

    I'm yet to see the Almighty Him/Herself come down to the door of a church building to collect His/Her money from the so called pastor.

    Let's get real the money does not, does not, does not go to God. The pastors have all t ...

    Special Miracle and Revival Service

    Just how many of these does a nation need? Why can't these miracle workers go to Korle Bu and do some miracles?

    Father forgive us, and teach us your will. Help us through your Holy Spirit to be faithful to your word, for all we need is in you, help us to trust you.

  • Aciko Y B 11 years ago

    THere are 95% false pastors who are preaching only money but not salvation.

  • angel 11 years ago

    I want commentators to comment on this: If a pastor says he does not charge but people who want to see him should make a special offertory of 50ghc upwards, what does he implies?

  • Osei Boateng 11 years ago

    Let God be God and let those who worship Him, worship in truth and in deed. I am happy you mentioned from the pulpit to the pews.

  • Toffey 11 years ago

    Pastor, Good job for the education but, I don't think miracle is the solution. Most of the problems in Africa are results of behaviors of pastors. African Pastors don't see anything in the bible other than miracles, so the pe ...

    All should learn from the Jehovah Witnesses, the only religious body with no bribes, no false prophecy, corruption free,no collection of money from members, etc, and all our problems will be solved.

  • Affum 11 years ago

    Of course, that congregation of Jehovah Witnesses is the best Church so far on earth. Those who founded that church, Rusell and co, were all members of other churches in the world, but later found the teachings there were not ...
