You call them delusions. You may not be far from the truth.
But the good book points to the fact that those fairy tales (if you like) were of Africa. That's the point.
You can hardly twist this narrative


I challenge you to prove from your Bible that Israel was in a barren land of the so called middle East of today
Africa? undecided

Where in the "good book " does God tell you that He moved Canaan, after Abraham , from the middle east to Africa? undecided
Israel was in a barren land? Canaan was the name of the land God gave to the children of israel undecided

You still haven't answered anything (typical of an African)

Prove it from your good book that Israel is located somewhere outside Africa.

Consult the map attached for more details of the location of Canaan as contained in the Bible. undecided

Canaan (/ˈkeɪnən/; Northwest Semitic: knaʿn; Phoenician: ���� – Kenāʿan; Hebrew: כְּנַעַן‎ – Kənáʿan, in pausa כְּנָעַן – Kənā́ʿan; Biblical Greek: Χανααν – Khanaan;[1] Arabic: كَنْعَانُ‎ – Kan‘ān) was a Semitic-speaking civilization and region in the Ancient Near East during the late 2nd millennium BC. The name "Canaan" appears throughout the Bible, where it corresponds to the Levant, in particular to the areas of the Southern Levant that provide the main setting of the narrative of the Bible: Phoenicia, Philistia, Israel, and other nations
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canaan
That's the same area that was under Roman occupation during the time of Jesus Christ. undecided

So you went to Wikipedia instead of your Bible?
grin

Proof from the scriptures
I mean boundaries were set out in the good book clearly for you to see. So I'm requesting to search. There might be one located outside Africa

Why is proof from scripture the only acceptable source when the link there gives you the location from Biblical reference.

and if you clicked on the provided link, you would find

The Southern Levant is a geographical region encompassing the southern half of the Levant. It corresponds approximately to modern-day Israel, Palestine, and Jordan; some definitions also include southern Lebanon, southern Syria and/or the Sinai Peninsula.
As a strictly geographical description, it is sometimes used by archaeologists and historians to avoid the religious and political connotations of other names for the area.

Like much of Southwestern Asia, the Southern Levant is an arid region consisting mostly of desert and dry steppe, with a thin strip of wetter, temperate climate along the Mediterranean coast. Geographically it is dominated by the Jordan Valley, a section of the Great Rift Valley bisecting the region from north to south, and containing the Sea of Galilee, the Jordan River and the Dead Sea – the lowest point on the earth's land surface.

So, the book tells you it is "authority", and then wikipedia's links explains, providing you with Map details of exactly where the "authority" points at, and you are trying to argue what again? undecided

Does the information loose its "authority" sourced status if it is expanded upon by wikipedia's? undecided

You are speaking too much grammar.

Your examiner doesn't wanna know how much labour you put in to grant his request from the good book.

I didnt ask you to examine me... you asked for proof and I did one better, I provided you one that came sourced from the Bible and a map of known land mass to boot. undecided

If you feel the location of Canaan as described in the Bible is wrong, since you claim it is instead in somewhere Africa, then let me know what evidence you have. undecided

The best I could do for you now is postpone this exam, so you could have adequate time for research (from your Bible)

Let's say next week is rescheduled for exams.
Ask your predecessors, they would tell you.. I award marks strictly on instructions . You can also meet your course Rep for a copy of the good book if you are yet to get one.

Thank you.

1. Show us where Jesus said it is a sin to marry two wives.

2. Did God not promise David more wives in 2 Samuel 12 v 7-8? Yes or no.

No one is forcing you to marry only one wife. Its a choice, and you have made your own choice. And every choice we make has have consequences. Just be ready to take the judgement at the last day.

I guess David, Abraham, Jacob, Saul and the likes were practicing Islam too as they were Polygamists.

Most Nigerians never cease to amaze me with the way they think. That I’m asking where it’s a sin in the scriptures to be a polygamist means I’m practicing Islam? Anyways, I’m not surprised deficient thinking is quite endemic in the country.

This is just an example of the failed education system at display here.

You wey get sound education,
1. Prove to everyone I’m practicing Islam.
2. Open the Bible and show us where God condemned people for Polygamy nau?

Did God condemn Jacob or David for polygamy? Let’s start from there.


Remember, you get sound education o, so please put your reasoning to use and show us where God condemned polygamy.

Thank you.

Today we will know if someone knows the basic difference between God’s sovereign will and things God can permit outside of His will, but will never count it as a sin.

Another example is where the children of Israel wanted kings like the other nations around them...instead of judges, priests and prophets as God intended for them...

Oya na... please someone should show us where in the scriptures God said POLYGAMY IS A SIN.
