Maynman:
Our forefathers already had their own religion and gods.
Eledumare is not same with Yahweh of shasu tribe and esu is not devil, there’s no where in Yoruba tradition where eledumare and esu fought, the same way Yahweh and his devil fought in Middle East tradition.
Yahwh called himself Israelite god, what else do you want? He is literally isrealiete god.
Eledumare is our Yoruba god. You praying to Israelite god to help you in Yoruba land is crass.
And If not for Roman Catholic with the help of crusaders, nicene Chrestianity won’t have spread.

ELohim is different from Yahweh, you can even see it in IsraEL

Which "forefathers"?

My great grandfather abandoned the Ifa he got from his father for Islam which arrived before Christianity or Europeans. He preferred that they had a book, and he sent his children to learn to read.

His son, my grandfather followed tradition by abandoning Islam for Christianity when it arrived. He preferred that they had a book that could be read and he sent his children to learn to read it.

My father, true to his forefathers, continued the tradition by reading the books and discovering that those who live by bread alone will become malnourished, so he fed his own children with books from everywhere so we don't end up in any.

I, fed on books, learnt they are to be read to be understood instead of believed unless one likes trembling.

Our religion, if it may be call one, passed down from 3 generations of forefathers to me, is, Read To Understand, because that will make you grow and evolve than if you merely gullibly believe all you read in a book.

Maynman:


Thought you said you were born into a Muslim family?
So your grandfather dropped islam, and your parents returned to it? Which books was your Muslim father reading? So desperate for your yaldaboath
You said it was jehovah witness that came to preach to you and show you “what’s working”.
What age did you leave Islam?
Christianity came centuries before Islam in africa.
You can’t keep up with the lies huh

Islam arrived in the Orolu Kingdom of Ifon Osun where buda's forefathers lived at least 2 centuries before Christianity turned up I would have you know. Muslim traders from the North used to come and buy produce from way before the 1400s and they brought Islam with them.

buda's father was never a Muslim nor a Christian, and neither was or is buda who was born and educated not to believe but to check with one's own senses so one may know. And Jehova Witness would not ever accept buda even if buda begged to join them, which alone would need to involve the complete overhaul and replacement of buda's mind and being.

Maynman, perhaps stop thinking and see the evidence that is before your eyes or kindly post links as evidence for the allegations made above so others can see where buda claimed what you claim buda claimed instead of hoping baseless crap you believe would be believed by the many here who are very able to use their own senses.

Firstly, find out the tribe of the person whom you are addressing. I am Igbo. I am not Yoruba.

Secondly, do you speak for all the Yorubas?

Thirdly, you should be teaching what you said above about your beliefs and stop gallivanting and hopping like a cat on hot bricks from thread to thread chanting and repeating heap of meaninglessness like a broken record.

Fourthly, YAHVEH Almighty, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob, my God and my Father in heaven, has explicitly and unapologetically and unequivocally asserted that he is the one and only true God and the Creator of the heavens, the earth, the seas and everything in them. He displayed his Sovereignty by showing Pharaoh and his people what I call "iwaa". There is no other.

All you have to do is present your alternative and stop yapping all over the place.

elated177:


What, really, did your grandfather accept? What did he learn from Christianity?

Maynman:


K bud.

budaatum:


I guess that's you apologising for bearing false witness against buda.

Maynman:


I was sitting on my buda and thought it was MaxinDhous,e

budaatum:


Same way you "think" and believe buda is something you sit on instead of considering the evidence before you or asking and knocking and seeking for that which you can't possibly know.

You will grow, Maynmann.

Here you are saying rubbish, counting of days is giving you issue. You better address your problem first before anything

Maynman:

A word can mean a different thing to someone else.

budaatum:


You know this? So why would you think my name must only mean what you think it must mean?

Maynman:


The same way you think it must mean what you think.

budaatum:


I guess you must know what my name means more than I who's name it is.

Maynman:


I guess you must know my stool more than me, bud.

Still sitting on my buda.

budaatum:


It's a pity you choose to derail your own threads, May. It diminishes what you may have to say, which is a great pity.

I'll continue with my patients towards your ad hominems. I love seeing how long it takes some to grow and mature if they do at all.

Maynman:


So desperate

IslamVIRGINS:


You only wasted all your days and years in school, you ought to be crying for your life for failing to know the number of days from Friday to Saturday

Maynman:


Let it out Yahweh worshipper

IslamVIRGINS:


dunderhead listen very well, don't ever let me see you attacking any Christian till you solve your counting of days problem

Maynman:


Okay Yahweh worshipper

IslamVIRGINS:


Better knucklehead

My grandfather really accepted a book. He was familiar with reading having been shown it with the Qur'an, so when the Bible was put in his hand and he was taught to read it himself he gladly did and sent his children to school to learn to read better than he could.

The main thing my grandfather learnt from Christianity was reading. This learning empowered him to be able to stop labouring on the land as a farmer and learn the trade of tailoring which afforded him with the resources to educate his own children to learn to read too.

Maynman:

Okay yahweh worshipper
