Ifa And Divination by thinkmoney(m): 6:16pm On Dec 20, 2020
The Ifa corpus is a complex and interesting system that tries to pass valuable wisdom for day-to-day matter and knowledge for the future to it's adherents.
But because it's a system that relies on some spirits or supernatural forces to get meanings from some affair of chance, it is divination and spiritism and God - the God of the bible- detests it.
Spiritism to christians, is the practice of going to the camp of the adversaries of God to seek help. The spirits (that different cultures have made gods and given different names like Xango, Esu etc. that are summoned and implored are angels that got selfish and went against God.
They, of course appear to give solutions many at times, but these solutions are in line with their grand agenda of luring people away through deception and superficial counterfeit favors from Gods camp.
29 “Therefore, since we are the children of God, we should not think that the Divine Being is like gold or silver or stone, like something sculptured by the art and design of humans. 30 *True, God has overlooked the times of such ignorance; but now he is declaring to all people everywhere that they should repent.* 31 Because he has set a day on which he purposes to judge the inhabited earth in righteousness by a man whom he has appointed, and he has provided a guarantee to all men by resurrecting him from the dead.”
```Acts 17:29-31, Acts 14:16; Romans 2:14-16.```

you need to understand something...

God has no real adversary!

Sango, Esu, Amadioha... Even the Devil! are all servants of God; created by Him to do his bidding!

Yes, they can be described as adversaries of man, but not God. All power belongs to the Most High who created all things through His living word. Nothing exists that was not made through him... (John 1:3 God's Word Translation)

Well, that's not what the Bible said, the Bible said they are renegade. God is all powerful though, he will ultimately prevail

There is no devil in ifa, so to compare Christianity to ifa is just dumb there are two completely different concepts and forms of worship
