Ase l'ase eledumare.

Exactly, Ela's epic tale and his unique moral code have been maliciously copied into the Abrahamic religions.

Ancient Roman and Greek academics; the authors responsible for Abrahamic religious literature all have in common a complete total disregard for intellectual property.

Its now clear to everyone that the authors of Abrahamic religious text acquired their Jesus character, and the entire concept of religion from Africa, try to repackage it to best suit their twisted needs and then sell it back to themselves.

African spirituality is the only solution to the world’s problems. A good reason for foreigners to want our souls.

The African concept of God is original one. Many have been brain-washed to hate their own culture and traditions.

That’s the reason all the organised foreign religions operating in Africa are silent weapons of mass destruction.

In the course of human history, African God(s) is seen as the most pleasant, fair, productive, caring and unbiased Divinities the world has ever seen.

Africans are the first people in human history capable of perceiving the Almighty God.

This is wow

Hmmm.... This is deep. Absolutesuccess also mentioned something about 'Moses and the burning bush and yet not consumed' present in Ifa.
This is another revelation. Makes sense when it was said in the book of John in the Bible that "In the beginning was the word...." and in Ifa, ela means 'word'. Pastors do say the 'word' in that context means 'jesus', now this Ifa verse explains it better.

This is truly deep-

"in the beginning was the word and the word was with God and the word was God"...says John 1:1

geosegun:
This is truly deep-

"in the beginning was the word and the word was with God and the word was God"...says John 1:1

Obviously copied and plagerised from Orisa Ifa philosophy.

I think Ifa should be transcribed to a clearer text for people to read, this, I believe will reveal more of Yoruba identity and history.

The three kings families are still prominent today.

Iragun of Ila still famous.

Olugbon family highly respect.

Aresa family highly successful in Lagos (Martins Omo Aresa) upon whom Martins Street was named by Governor Glover.
