Afro-jazz and highlife legend Gyedu-Blay Ambolley has said Jesus is not God and, therefore, he prays directly to God and never through Jesus.
“People are saying Jesus is God”, Ambolley complained to Class FM Saturday, 30 November 2019, explaining: “It’s like this formation of the white people that has been brought to us but we mustn’t forget that all of us went through the missionary schools; all the schools that we went to, Anglican, Presbyterian, Roman Catholic, all were established by the missionaries, so, they taught us what they wanted us to know”.
Asked by the host if he believed Jesus is God, Ambolley said: “I believe in being truthful to myself, I believe that I cannot say Jesus is God or if I want to pray to the creator, I have to pray to the creator through Jesus”.
He explained further: “It’s just like [being in] a family that you’re not at peace with your father, so, if you want anything from your father, maybe you pass through your brother or you pass through your sister because you can’t go straight to your father because of your misbehaving, so, now you want to use somebody” to get through to your father.
“Me, if I want anything, I go straight to my creator, I’m never going to go through Jesus; for what?” he asked, adding: “Before I came into this world, everything was in order; when I leave this world, the order is still going to be the same, I’m not going to say somebody has come so [I have to pray through him] because I see Jesus as a teacher; a teacher that he has told you that if you want to go to God, this is the way; he has finished his job”, Ambolley argued.
He, therefore, wondered why people make so much noise about Jesus in churches.
“Now, people are always crying: ‘In the name of Jesus’. People in the churches are using microphones and speakers [disturbing everybody]. It’s like anything they want from the father now, they are speaking through microphones and speakers for everybody to know what they want and even the Jesus that we are talking about said: ‘If you want to have any collaboration with your father, go to your room and speak with your father one-on-one. It’s not that you take a microphone and ‘gbegbegbegbegbe’. Look at where religion is going now. Now people are using religion to make themselves rich and all that; they’ve forgotten that money is not the key”, he said.

Man, your parents prayed through Jesus before you were born. Stop disgracing them. You are a shame. You need to be quarantined at the zoo.
The man is right why would you pass through to someone to reach God as if God has put a restriction of reaching other than passing through someone.all the sent messengers are only teachers to tell us who God is en what he wants us to do as his creatures.is now up to us to understand the teachings en follow the rules.

I think the guy is making these utterances out of ignorance, and he deserves to be pitied! Does he believe in the Christian Bible or not? Well the Bible teaches that, we as human beings "have all SINNED and come short of the glory of God"(Romans 3.23). The same Bible tells us in Roman 6:23, that the wages of SIN is death; and that the free gift of God is eternal life THROUGH JESUS CHRIST OUR LORD. What these mean is that due to the FILTH OF SIN, human beings do not have the "credentials" to be able to appear before the Almighty God with our petitions, and that is the reason why, the Almighty God being so merciful, brought in the SINLESS JESUS to be a mediator between us and God - 1 Timothy 2:5. If you don't believe in this fundamental principle of Christianity, then you are not a Christian, period! No need to engage in any unprofitable debate on this ignorance assertion!

Please let us try to tolerate other views when it comes to religion. If only Christians would let the wisdom Paul used to woo others ,we can convince a lot who do not believe, Things of God comes only through faith and not intellectual reasoning. Ambolley's not believing Jesus as God does not in any way change the deity of Jesus Christ as God who came to the earth as man to redeem his own creation who had fallen as a result of sin Please let us in a sober manner explain our beliefs to others.
JESUS DIED ON THE CROSS FOR OUR SINS; GOD RAISED JESUS FROM THE DEAD; JESUS ALONE IS THE SOURCE OF OUR ETERNAL SALVATION; THE PRECIOUS BLOOD OF JESUS PROTECTS US FROM THE DEVIL GIVE YOUR LIFE TO JESUS AND SUBMIT TO HIM SO YOU WILL HAVE ACCESS TO THE TRUE GOD AFTER DEATH. AMEN AND AMEN!
