This is just a post meant to be light hearted. I like to find these things. I will start and be adding stuff as I go along. List the Bible thought and then the African thought/proverb that matches it. The bible Eve & Food led to problems with God for mankind. Traditional African thought A Woman pounding yams hit God in the eye, He got mad and went far up in the sky away from mankind. I have read many versions of this same story, all across the Continent. It's interesting to me in that, it is always a woman involved with some type of food that causes the split between mankind and God. The same as the bible. Do you know any other African traditional stories/proverbs/etc that match the bible? |

The Bible Jacob's ladder African thought Many many fairy tales, whathaveyou, speak of God or the gods being able to travel back and forth to heaven on stairs, ropes, ladders whathaveyou. A lot of scholars treat this like some weird belief of Africans. But I recognized it immeadiately from the bible. |
