The killing of a pastor of the Assemblies of God church in Tema Community 4 has sparked an intense online debate over religion and the promises it makes to its followers which never seem to get fulfiled.
The pastor was stabbed to death in church, the house of God, whilst preparing to come out and deliver his usual Sunday sermon to his congregation. A man of God being killed in God’s own house is surely a cause for alarm about what benefits one accrues from being a Christian that is unavailable to the believer.
Founding Editor of ghanacelebrities.com, Chris-Vincent Agyapong Febiri, has queried his followers about the use of a God who promises one protection but can’t protect his own messengers in his own house?
Writing on Facebook, Chris said, in that case, God is as useless as lipstick on a pig because he really gives his followers no special protection than others.
Check out his post below…
Anytime God, I mean the Abrahamic God is given the opportunity to show his might, he woefully disappoints. Yet he makes so many promises and claims which mounting evidence contradict. This same God says at 2 Thessalonians 3:3 through his chosen man that “But the Lord is faithful, and he will strengthen you and protect you from the evil one.”
Yet when evil looms against his people, he fails to show up.
Today, at church, a place where he is said to dwell, one of his men, was stabbed to death—and he did nothing about it. The pastor faced uncommon evil, and he didn’t honour his promise.
Why be friends, let alone worship a God who does not keep to his promise to you? Why keep yours to him then?
A God, a delusion of credulity!
The evidence all point to the fact that, the conception of a God is our infantile attempt to understand our universe and it is entirely wrong.
We are animals, belonging to the genus homos, one of many species that once existed and now the others are extinct. We are nothing special—and have no relationship with any God.
—Chris-Vincent Agyapong

Am really sorry for this so called editor because his level of ***barred word*** is beyond measure. Do you know whom God really is. I dont think you can ever be forgiven to have insulted God like this. If you know will happen to you, it will be better for you to throw yourself into an ocean with a rob tired to a huge rock around your neck. I Will not even ask God to forgive you because if you speak against the HOLY SPIRIT you wont be forgiven how much more God Himself.
Father just forgive him but use him like you did with Saul/Paul and the likes of him. spiritual things are really ***barred word*** to the flesh.
Chris, it sounds like you have had some disappointment with your idea of God and hence you have taken to speak hateful words without checking your facts. Despite that, he still loves you. Remember, even Jesus was betrayed by his own and killed by the Jews. But Jesus was God with us and agreed to lay his life down for the world to be saved! Many have been martyred because of their faith in God's word...and these were great Christians...almost all the Apostles suffered... but there are notable testimonies abounding of his protective work. The Apostle John who wrote the Gospel of John...Was boiled in Oil, burned several times and all times he did not die...after several failed trials to kill him he was banished to the Island of Patmos where he wrote the bible book of Revelations. Every body has a role to play in accepting God's protection when in a perilous situation or accepting to leave this world for a better place. That is their choice! So, do not judge God too quickly yet! Stay blessed!
May the Almighty God forgive you for your ***barred word*** words.
Still God is still THE LIVING GOD...He has a purpose for whatever happens to a man...I would rather die believing in God than to accept the ***barred word*** idea that I am a trace from a homo genus whatever.....GLORY TO GOD
Mr editor try to read ur bible morning and evening, i think dat is the only solution to ur proplem.
wat a u talking about do u know God, ua talking rubbish things, only God knows wat is good or wrong. may be u know he is man of God but may be God don't know him, us the Bible said, is not anyone who mention Jesus Jesus will enter the kingdom of God. so stop the rubbish talk n live it to God.
