Do you understand what you wrote at all?

Then God blessed Noah and his sons, saying to them, “Be fruitful and increase in number and fill the earth.

God was not talking to Adam in Chapter 9! Adam died in Chapter 5.
Happy that verse was to Noah. How about Genesis 1:28

Genesis 1:28 ►

God blessed them and said to them, “Be fruitful and increase in number; fill the earth and subdue it. Rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky and over every living creature that moves on the ground.”

I keep telling you to go sign up as dump's lawyer but it seems you like litigating your case on Nairaland. He needs you!

All tariffs imposed on 2 April, plus the fentanyl tariffs on China, Canada and Mexico are blocked.
Federal Appeals court has temporary reversed the tariff block as the case winds up the ladder to SCOTUS where Trump will eventually win
In the meantime democrats will have stymied any progress towards trade deals with the help of corrupt judges. Trump should never be allowed to do anything beneficial to America Bet you didn't know that.
This should broaden your horizons though we all know that you can take a cow to the river but you can never force it to drink the water.

When will Pam Bondi, Kash Patel and Bongino start arresting all the traitors? KP who investigated as Drvin Nunes chief investigator knuws all the dirty scoundrels and had published a list.

WASHINGTON — The wife of a former Justice Department official gave “demonstrably false” testimony to Congress about her involvement in drafting and disseminating since-debunked dossiers about Donald Trump’s purported collusion with Russia in 2016, according to a bombshell trove of internal FBI records released Wednesday by Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa).
Nellie Ohr worked for research firm Fusion GPS when it was hired in the lead-up to the 2016 election to dig up dirt on the Trump campaign’s alleged links to Russian organized crime — but later told a House panel she did not know about the DOJ’s parallel investigation into the matter.
vidence assembled by the FBI indicates that Ohr helped compile two dossiers — including the notorious file pushed by former MI6 agent Christopher Steele — that helped launch the bureau’s Crossfire Hurricane investigation.


Her husband was the Deputy Assistant Attorney General DOJ.
The 2019 FBI analysis, obtained by Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) and declassified at the chairman’s request, provides detailed evidence Ohr lied to Congress during sworn testimony and, as a result, obstructed

FBI since 2019 knew she lied but didn't prosecute her.

Yes, but Blacks are the second-largest race after East Indians. It's a mixed country.
8% are a mixture of European and Asian descent
Always thought it was just majority black. You killed my hopes of a black nation doing extremely well.

Compare Haiti and Dominican Republic. They are on the same island , yet Dominican Republic has 6 times GDP per Capita. Haiti is 96% black and Dominican Republic has this Ethnic Composition:
Mixed: 71.72%
White: 18.70%
Black: 7.45%
East Asian: 0.33%
Other: 1.80%
Haitis flee their country in droves to their neighbour.

Yes you do need to possess superior knowledge in order to enslave people. Ignorant people don't make ships to travel hundreds of miles with guns they made to go enslave anyone. And if the people you want to enslave have superior or at least equal knowledge, it will show in their ability to resist being enslaved.


If you shoot me and I die 10 years later, it could still be said that you killed me with your gun, but if you say I will die if you shoot me and I live another 10 years after you shot me, most might conclude you are either a lousy shooter or your gun is fake.

Regardless, Adam was very very fruitful after he was supposed to die but instead gained independence, for not only did he bear Seth and Cain and Abel and a few others, his descendants are said to have populated the earth. If that's death, kill me now please.
Typical budaatum. How was he supposed to multiply and fill the earth.He was surrounded by animals and we want to assume they were having sex and multiplying in numbers before his very own eyes, he wasn't stupid to know that they would both multiply in the same way as those animals.. I'm ruling out that Adam and Eve didn't know about sex.

Budaatum, basilico, Raumdeuter, ono, Zendi. This video encapsulates why we prefer living in Western countries. In our culture, we lack a concept of maintenance, which is exactly why farms are struggling in South Africa.

You tend to blame the white man for sabotage. We leave our country to study abroad, and more often than not, we hesitate to return because we know that the knowledge we have gained will not be utilized to improve our country due to corruption and other selfish factors.

When I say we are not yet ready to govern ourselves or fully prepared for independence, this is precisely my perspective. You cannot add to or take away from this.

Our excuse is that when we go study abroad the white man offers better pay than back home, resulting in brain drain
On the other issue of colonialism, I look at Taiwan and Korea, They were also colonized but are highly developed today. A black dominated country , Trinidad and Tobago performs better than other black nations.

Did you not say its a fairy tale? If that's true, no God revealed anything and we are talking about a story in a book, likely written by ancient men who by nature were anti-feminists. And if that's the case, one must consider the years of programming some have done with the book.

I put it to you that in order to enslave people you must have more knowledge (power) than them for starts, and you must deprive those you enslave of that knowledge least they acquire it and rebel against you.

If Adam had died when he ate the fruit of knowledge I would agree with the above, but in the case of Adam it was more like saying not to have sex without protection or you will turn into stone, since Adam did not die as he was told he would if he ate the fruit of the tree he was told not to eat.

The God in that narrative lied, but I guess you can't admit that least you burn in hell.
Jesus spoke in parables so we can extend the interpretation of various bible stories Bible also has lots of symbolism .
God had told Adam to "Go ye forth, be fruitful. Multiply and fill the whole world".
Where does the tree of knowledge and sex come in , if they was to fill the world.

Now we’re talking instead of grasping at straws about Kamala.

The bill will be adding BIGLY to the deficit. Party of fiscal responsibility.
The bill has not factored in DOGE recommendations . Eventually there will be savings . There are bills to be tabled from next week.
At the same time the Congress is still hamstringing Trump admin , with a slim majority he needs every vote, there are always backstabber RINOs .
They have not asked for my input ,so the bills are still a work in progress smiley

https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/1927890545893924871.html

Judicial overreach at its finest. Literally every action ,a judge finds a way to block knowing that eventually the SCOTUS will reverse the block.

, the President, whenever he finds as a fact that any existing duties or other import restrictions of the United States or any foreign country are unduly burdening and restricting the foreign trade of the United States and that the purpose above declared will be promoted—
(A) may enter into trade agreements with foreign governments or instrumentalities thereof; and
(B) may proclaim such modification of existing duties and other import restrictions, or such additional import restrictions, or such continuance, and for such minimum periods, of existing customs or excise treatment of any article covered by foreign trade agreements, as are required or appropriate to carry out any foreign trade agreement that the President has entered into hereunder."

IDF is successful in taking out Hamas because it's leaders are stupid, believe they have a divine cause to resist Israel. Palestinians believe being killed by IDF grants then 72 virgins in paradise, for mdny of them the sooner they get to their virgins the better.

Most importantly. IDF and Israel speak fluent Arabic. They intercept the communications and bribe them so they have very good intelligence.

Soon this ruling will be handed down by a judge.

A District Judge has ruled
(a) that the US founding document is unconstitutional. Ruling out further appeal by any unconstitutional Appellate judge or the Supreme Court judge.

(b) Everyone in America save for the Native Americans is an illegal alien. Thus anyone who goes to America cannot be an illegal alien , Furthermore subject to (a) Noone should be subjected to an unconstitutional constitution.

Ignore above. On a more serious matter

Trump has no powers to impose tarriffs on any nation , New York international trade court rules. This had been predicted in a May 15 article .

Obama ,I suspect was controlling the autopen , probably it was in his home office at Kalorama. He once joked about a third term
'If I could make an arrangement where I had a stand-in, a frontman or frontwoman, and they had an earpiece in and I was just in my basement in my sweats looking through the stuff, then I could sort of deliver the lines but somebody else was doing all the talking and ceremony, then I'd be fine with that because I found the work fascinating,' Obama said. .
In hindsight doesn't look like it was a joke

My nation awaits the Messiah and a temple in Jerusalem.

Sadly, they will be deceived into following a false one who permits a temple that eventually hosts the abomination of desolation spoken of by Daniel in chapter 9. ( After the RAPTURE)

According to the same prophet in chapter 12, the greatest tragedy in Jewish history is still to come. Thankfully, the nation will be saved from this tragedy, but at a very HEAVY price. ( The times of Jacob's Trouble)


The REAL MESSIAH will come at the end of this sad chapter, and as Zechariah wrote in chapter 12:
“And I will pour on the house of David and on the inhabitants of Jerusalem the Spirit of grace and supplication; then they will look on Me whom they pierced, yes, they will mourn for Him as one mourns for his only son, and grieve for Him as one grieves for a firstborn.” Who is the one who was pierced?


To understand, read Isaiah 53 for a deeper revelation.
https://sunnah.com/muslim:2922

The last hour would not come unless the Muslims will fight against the Jews and the Muslims would kill them until the Jews would hide themselves behind a stone or a tree and a stone or a tree would say: Muslim, or the servant of Allah, there is a Jew behind me; come and kill him; but the tree Gharqad would not say, for it is the tree of the Jews

People don't realize the command to kill Jews extend all the way to the last days ...

"While South Africa is a single nation where white people face discrimination" for decades, though I don't see why the amount if time facing matters. And no, I don't expect you to understand "how Israel entered the matter", but I've entered it, so wrap your cells around it some.



This is ignorant, since you don't just transform plenty of unused land into farmland just like that.

Don't you consider some of that unused land is unused because it is rocky, or perhaps too far away from water and transport that might have in the past be directed, with government spending, to the desirable land that is already owned and not to the unused land?

It is also naive to think the people who decades ago chose the land they wanted for themselves would leave the better easily transformed to farmland for those coming now to easily transform the rest to farmland. But I bet you also think the whites who transformed land to farmland completely ignored the land the black people were farming for themselves, because black South Africans were not farming before white people arrived and transformed land to farm?

Some blacks who might want to transform land to farmland today might not have the history that might enable them to get the assistance and loans at desirable rates given to those with historical land ownership records, or have access to the international markets the long time land owners have access to etc, etc, etc.

But like you said, I don't expect you to understand how any of that enters into this conversation.
It's just a freedom chant. It's harmless.
