CHRISTIANS AND THEM

There are roughly 4,200 religions in the world and as to which one is the true religion no one knows aside the Creator of the world.

History tells me that my forefathers were not Christians. In their part of the world, they never had any idea about it. They had their own religion but as to whether they were satisfied with the norms and practices to the extent of living a peaceful life, only they can tell.
Some people from the western part of the world wearing different skin color as if they have fallen into fire brought it. Aside stealing from my forefathers, they imposed it on them and through it, my forefathers were brutalized and abused. Through this same Christianity my forefathers lost their siblings and children to a place of no return - slavery. A new life befell them, it became part of everything they did as time evolved and through out our history we all have been Christians.

Do I hate them and what they did to my people? Yes, I did hate them but no more.
I have found a new love in Christianity. Wait! how can I love what was a tool to destroy my forefathers? None! People may say, "I have been engrossed in ignorance so much that my ability to reason and understand facts is beyond cure". It could be true but I still love being a Christian. I don't rejoice in what my forefathers went through.

To me the White men in the other way round were a tool for Christianity to spread so that I can have salvation. Being a Christian has caused me to lose a lot but I have won many and those that I have won exceed my ability. Through Christianity I have education today. I can read and write. I can travel across the oceans to achieve my dreams that MAY not be attainable in Africa. I have electricity, I have Internet and I can do a lot of things. I speak of power. I have been to the shores of death but Christianity brought me back when doctors said it was impossible. I speak of life today, I know Jesus Christ. I am His, He is mine. We are bound and for that I proclaim my life to be a miracle to the glorification of His name. You may disagree but that is me.

Despite all these, I hate most Christians and their practices and their way of life. Am I perfect? NO but I hate them when they think they actually made the rod Moses used to divide the sea into two. This world we live in has bred diverse opinions. Agnostics, atheists including the rest of the other religions (roughly 4200) live in it with a lot of questions been asked about the authenticity of Christianity and it's manual, THE HOLY BIBLE which contains the everlasting WORD OF GOD but the right answers have not been provided because we probably don't know all. Most of these people who to them Christianity is a sham were once Christians regardless of the fact that they were born into it. All they need are answers even if their agenda is to punch holes in the bible. There is a possibility they lost a thing or two that pushed them away. What you have lost could be bigger than theirs but not everyone has the strength to endure an aching incident.

However, one thing I have noticed about today's Christians is most act as if they provided bulbs and pressed the switch on button when God said "let there be light". Disagree on a biblical quote and/or it's explanation and you will be branded as the walking stick of Satan even if you yourself is a Christian. They can't be involved in an intellectual discourse without attacking the 'hard drive' in your head. For all you know, God doesn't even recognize you.

There are numerous religions in the world but we Christians like the others believe ours is the only way. What shows? The bible says we are the ambassadors and if that is what we truly are then our actions and the manner in which we approach questions brought to us for answers must be in accordance to what we carry in us. Words are powerful and due to that be careful your emotions don't get the better part of you.

Be a blessing to someone!

ARE YOU AN INTELLIGENT INVESTOR?

In 1998, Long-Term Capital Management L.P., a hedge fund run by a battalion of mathematicians, computer scientists, and two Nobel Prize–winning economists, lost more than $2 billion in a matter of weeks on a huge bet that the bond market would return to “normal.” But the bond market kept right on becoming more and more abnormal—and LTCM had borrowed so much money that its collapse nearly capsized the global financial system. And back in the sp ring of 1720, Sir Isaac Newton owned shares in the South Sea Company, the hottest stock in England. Sensing that the market was getting out of hand, the great physicist muttered that he “could calculate the motions of the heavenly bodies, but not the madness of the people.” Newton dumped his South Sea shares, pocketing a 100% profit totaling £7,000. But just months later, swept up in the wild enthusiasm of the market, Newton jumped back in at a much higher price—and lost £20,000 (or more than $3 million in today’s money). Sir Isaac Newton wa...

Major Mahama - Kumawood

There is an ongoing campaign against Kumasi based filmmakers admonishing them NOT to make any film about Major Maxwell Adam Mahama. This campaign also has arguably, the best actress in Ghana, Nana Ama Mcbrown's voice in it when she was interviewd by TV3 at the funeral of the late military man. She said "I am pleading with every producer in Kumasi to respect him/herself not to make any movie out the sad event. Even if they are going to use it as a story, they shouldn't tell it as it is" One post on social media which startled me was "Herhh Kumawood! Don't even think about any Major Maxwell Mahama amanehunu 1,2,3 and nonsense biaa oo. Yoo! Shit ain't funny!" Does it mean Kumasi based filmmakers glorify themselves in tragedy? Or does it mean everything made from the industry is for fun and jokes? My question now is even if we should, can't #GhanaFilms ('Ghallywood', 'Kumawood', and others) make a movie with him(Major Mahama) ...
