So if the names of the daughters were not mentioned, how did how did Cain's son give birth to his own child?
Abi it was through incest as well?
It was sin that brought about those laws!

When Adam and Eve were perfect God only gave them just one rule but after man's fall the need for countless rules set in because unlike Adam and Eve who were perfect their imperfect children will be affected by sin so they need lots of dos and donts to guide them in their day to day lives!

The reason your salvation depends on 8 baldmen is because “8,000,000” people also are doing it?
Even the 8 baldmen don’t agree on the same orders when given to discreet slaves
YaldaGarbage 17:69 cheesy
The baldmen that owns your destiny were less than 8 before, now they are 8 and counting. Bwahahahaha
So by the end of the day you ended up having nothing to say about your god, even the other guy tried to focus on the topic of discussion.

Then why running up and down the forum arguing as if you have something tangible to say about a better god than what others worship?

Christianity Etc › Re: God Or Satan Who truly Owns The World? Help I'm Confused. by MaxInDHouse(m): 8:46pm On Aug 28, 2022
KiNg0G:
in the beginning God created the heavens and earth and everything there in.. which means he is the owner.. the creator..... but how come when lucifer tempted jesus christ... he showed him all the good things of life...if only he would bow to him.. then it will all be his. (as another owner)
Does it mean satan owns the world?
did God sold the world to him after creation?
was there any sort of bargain when he casted him from heaven?
is there two owners of this world?
I'm confused
Seun
lalasticlala
mynd44
The Creator owns everything but regarding the planet (earth) He assigned man as the one and only creature in His image to SUBDUE it {Genesis 1:26-28 compare to Psalms 115:16} but man choose to sell his soul to the devil by rebelling against his Creator {Genesis 3:1-6} Satan knew very well that after Adam expire no one can rule over the children of the rebel, even Adam himself could see the troubles that will follow his rebellion because in his own eyes his first son killed the second {Genesis 4:8} so Satan waited patiently until Adam died {Genesis 5:5} then he began taking action by inviting more angels who also joined him to rebel against God {Genesis 6:1 compare to Jude 1:6} as the leader of all these mighty spirit beings Satan was able to control the whole earth as humans were seeking the help of demons to rule over their fellowman. That's how Satan was given all the kingdoms of the world! Luke 4:6

God called Abraham He (God) wanted to start planning for His own government which will end Satan's control {Daniel 2:44} a child will be born from the lineage of Abraham and this child will end Satan's control that's has lasted for thousands of years! Isaiah 9:6-7

So by the time Satan was introducing all the kingdoms of the earth under his control he was actually trying to distract this promised Christ from focusing on his earthly mission, Satan knew that if Jesus could succeed in his earthly mission then his (Satan's) days are numbered! Genesis 3:15 compare to Revelations 12:7; Daniel 12:1-3

So Satan rules the world presently {John 14:30; 2Corinthians 4:4; 1John 5:19} but soon his rule be over! Matthew 6:10

May you have PEACE! smiley

Your deity created humans then arranged for a small group that has had many FAILED PREDICTIONS? That’s the group that holds your destiny?
Yaldagarbage 23:3-4.
Will your kids salvation also depend on these 8 baldmens? Your kids will perish without these old men?

Over 8,000,000 people throughout the earth are in agreement with them as our God made us all to think alike {John 17:22} but just two of you on this forum it's obvious that there's no agreement as you guys can't conclude on what to say about your god! smiley

JEHOVAH the God of the Bible arranged for a small group of people to whom He handed over the government over His own worshipers {Luke 12:32} that's why you're so obsessed with their pictures as the whole world can SEE the one and only organization that's on the top {Isaiah 2:2 compare to Matthew 5:14-16} performing excellently!

So that was a warning. They were not even walking straight to Canaan according g to the bible but going round and round in circles for 40 years. Yęyę wanderers led by a yęyę yhwh.
JEHOVAH said those among His people that failed to trust Him after all what He did in their eyes will not enter the land of Canaan {Numbers 14:28-30} so only Caleb and Joshua survived the journey because they fully trusted JEHOVAH!
Evidence that JEHOVAH is the true God!

What about the people that yhwh could not drive out because they had iron? Is yhwh that feeble that he cannot withstand iron? So Ogun is greater than yhwh.

Where did you read that one now o? Abi na personal revelation? When did yhwh send warning to canaanites and when did the bible say the demons deceived their worshipers.
JEHOVAH'S treatment of Egyptian and the way He brought the Israelites out of Egypt to walk on dry land through the red sea is enough warning message to all the Canaanites that the Almighty God is coming with the Israelites.
That's why Rahab of Jericho took side with JEHOVAH! Joshua 2:9-10

So He has sent a warning message ahead even a nation in Canaan used discernment to secure their own place they are called the Gibeonites! Joshua 9:3-21

So he came from nowhere and only him waka from nowhere go Egypt. Because his domain is nowhere no wonder he is so jealous and thieving. That must be what Jesus meant when he said birds has nests, foxes have holes but the son of yhwh had Nowhere.
You still have a long way to go but tribalism won't allow you see clearly.

Jehovah is the Almighty and Creator of the earth, Adam alienated himself from the true God and sold the earth and his descendants to Satan. That's why Satan could confidently say:

“I will give you all this authority and their glory, because it has been handed over to me, and I give it to whomever I wish" Luke 4:6

Satan became the god of this system of things right from the time Adam and Eve chose him over their rightful owner and Creator! 2Corinthians 4:4; 1John 5:19

JEHOVAH is only acting on his LOVE for innocent mankind who never signed their lives to Satan the Devil. That's why He has to ask for just a portion of the earth to establish pure worship!

So my friend you still have a long way to go in this if you're not open to reasoning! smiley

Talk about devastation, no mythology or religion has a deity that likes to devastate as much as the filthy demon called Yhwh.

Isaiah 24
1Behold, the LORD will empty the eartha and make it desolate,
and he will twist its surface and scatter its inhabitants.
2And it shall be, as with the people, so with the priest;
as with the slave, so with his master;
as with the maid, so with her mistress;
as with the buyer, so with the seller;
as with the lender, so with the borrower;
as with the creditor, so with the debtor.
3The earth shall be utterly empty and utterly plundered;
for the LORD has spoken this word.
You're deceiving yourself!
A righteous God must have punishment for evildoers!

But as for the righteous richly blessings awaits them:

I don't know what you mean but man has achieved a lot. The planet is being destroyed due to the activities of some humans. There are humans though who engage in these so called advances, like many of the tribes in the amazon forest. They even walk around naked which exposes the lie in your bible that they were ashamed of unclothedness and yhwh clothed them.

So there is no mention of Yoruba deities in the bible as they only focus on Israel ba? You lied when you said the 'fallen angels' in the bible refer to Yoruba deities. then this your God that journeys from somewhere all the way to Egypt to free his people, does that mean he has his domain too, and he traveled from there to Egypt. So he too is like the fallen angles that you described who have carved out domains for themselves.
The one and only God who came from nowhere and singlehandedly delivered people from slavery is the true God!

He even receives sacrifice just like any other lesser deity. He even sends a share of the goats received to his fellow demons in the wilderness. Even those those demon's worshippers had been exterminated in a heinous act of genocide instigated by himself by his followers. See the devilishness of the character?
He has sent a warning message but those demons deceived their worshipers to death!

You're talking about of both sides of your mouth now. Those demons received their goat because they have a right to their domain as long as worshippers are loyal. However you said the worshippers were exterminated so why is yhwh still sharing goats with them?
That's to teach His worshipers that those demons are still hanging around, any rebellious act against the true God will attract condemnation and the demons will return ! smiley

2Samuel 24:1

1Again the anger of the YHWH was kindled against Israel, and he incited David against them, saying, “Go, number Israel and Judah.” 2So the king said to Joab, the commander of the army,a who was with him, “Go through all the tribes of Israel, from Dan to Beersheba, and number the people, that I may know the number of the people.”


1Chronicles. 21:1

1Then Satan rose up against Israel and incited David to take a census of Israel. 2So David said to Joab and the commanders of the troops, “Go and count the Israelites from Beersheba to Dan and bring me a report, so that I may know their number.”
I love this!

Note that the God of Israel has told His people that they will not be numbered:

"I will certainly deal well with you, and I will make your offspring like the grains of sand of the sea, which are too numerous to count.’” Genesis 32:12

So lesson learned: Satan took permission from God before tempting King David just as Satan took permission to tempt Job {Job 1:7-12} for Jehovah to grant it {Job 1:10} then Satan could act as if it's Jehovah who spoke to David!

In reality Satan was granted the chance to tempt David due to David's blunders! 2Samuel 11:1-27

Man is not the only intelligent being on this planet. Elephants have a very high level of intelligence and so dolphins. Even more intelligent than some humans.
Can you point to just one advancement in the way these creatures live their lives because man has achieved a lot just as the Bible God claimed when He said:

“Let us make man in our image, according to our likeness, and let them have in subjection the fish of the sea and the flying creatures of the heavens and the domestic animals and all the earth and every creeping animal that is moving on the earth" Genesis 1:26

Only man is intelligent to the point of driving away any creature if the location is suitable for living, and man has developed technology that no other creature could do 0.000001%

The bible is a big book. Can you not specify which passage exactly speaks of the Yoruba deities and how they took over certain domains?
The Author of the Bible only focus on a nation (Israel) but when it comes to how all other nations get their deities this Author gave us clues if we want to know the truth {John 8:32} note how this God journeyed all the way to Egypt to free His people without a military force? But any nation can also fabricate such a story so i focus on realities that's common everywhere to compare to what this Author is saying.

The God of Israel demanded that His worshipers should present two live goats before Him, one is to be sacrificed to Him on the spot but the other to be escorted outside the land where the former deities occupying that domain has been driven after their worshipers has been exterminated! Leviticus 16:7-10

From this recorded event i learned that the God of Israel knows that despite He being the Creator those demons have the right to that domain as long as their worshipers are loyal to them. That's why He warned His own worshipers never to invite those demons back because they will be roaming around since they've been misplaced from their domain! Deuteronomy 18:9-13

Please, which verse in Ifa or any divination lore said that?

"Látìkọ̀lé Ọ̀run wá síkọ̀lé ayé", is a common phrase in Ifa text. It is used to refer to the origins of absolutely everything. We will hear of when Scissors left from heaven to earth. We hear of when money left from heaven to earth. we hear of when telephone left from heaven to earth.

What is referred to is the process of creation. Every created thing is brought from heaven to earth. Orun in this case reads more like potentiality. Everything makes the journey from potentiality to actuality. That's how some people interpret it to English.
At least you agree with the common phrase so use the Bible to get the clear picture:

And the angels who did not keep their original position but forsook their own proper dwelling place, he has reserved with eternal bonds in dense darkness for the judgment of the great day. Jude 1:6

Man is the only intelligent being created to live on this planet {Genesis 1:26-28} all other intelligent beings are aliens! smiley

If you're tribalistic surely you will not feel comfortable knowing that the god your ancestors worshiped is a demon. But the Yorùbás have what is called "ORÍKÌ" through which each person knows his or her origin.

Just meditate thoroughly on the ORÍKÌ of Èṣù i'm sure you will know why Àjàyí Crowder used that name for the spirit referred to as Satan the devil in the Bible!

NO! Note that through divination those worshiping these demons have told you where they came from:

"Látìkọ̀lé Ọ̀run wá síkọ̀lé ayé"

Just as the Bible says:

Now when men started to grow in number on the surface of the ground and daughters were born to them, the sons of the true God began to notice that the daughters of men were beautiful. So they began taking as wives all whom they chose. Genesis 6:1-2

Ọlọ́sà (Olú-Ọ̀sà)
That's how demons deceive their worshipers!

Each takes over a territory station there and start demanding worship from the inhabitants in his domain. The truth is that all of them were former dwellers in heaven (Ọlọ́run) who has no business with the inhabitants of the earth apart from the Grand Creator who has the right to set standards for mankind.

Olú-Ọ̀run simply means the one having authority in heaven and we know that Alayé means one has authority on earth, of course Alayé are countless though they know their ranking! Mark 1:24
