We have enough proof of God though but of who created God, we don't, maybe we are the creator who knows?. We will never find out. Where is it accepted in science? Who accepted it? A link to it? |

lawani: since you said something is heresy if not accepted by the majority then it means Islam and Christianity are heresies In christianity we have orthodox which means “correct belief”, now before anything can be orthodox that means something else has to be heresy. Your Trinity concept was made orthodox because it serve the Roman especially constantine. There were various early christian especially the jewish christians that rejected the doctrine of virgin birth or that Jesus was son of god. All that doctrine you have now is a doctrine of the Trinity created by the Catholic. Other Christians were kiled because they did not follow the Roman command of Trinity.

lawani: Can you mention any other group in the world threatening people with hell fire for unbelief?. Wars of theology are the addition by Christianity and Islam to decivilize the world. Your concept of “hell fire” is gotten from greek, norse, latin,judaism etc. First start to learn where the word “hell” comes from before it was used in your New Testament. What’s hell in Hebrew? Your jewish savior is Jewish right, or did he speak English? What did he call “hell”? |

lawani: You are right with your definition of heresy and by that definition both Islam and Christianity are heresies while the theory of relativity is not Islam and christianity are not heresy, you still don’t get it. It is DOCTRINE that can be heresy. Your trinity is someone’s DOCTRINE supported by constantine, the reason why trinity is the main orthodox now is because of the support of him. Catholic was made state religion in Rome, not christianity. Anyone that did not worship trinity was killed.

Others are harmless traditions. I wonder when you will understand this. Islam and Christianity are the only religions There are other religions that predated christianity and islam.

Heresy is simply the opinion with less support, it doesn’t mean it is wrong. You worship the Trinity, a Catholic concept, even the early fathers reject it, it was made orthodox in nicene creed. To non trinitarians, you are a heretic.

You lack what heresy means. A thing can only be heresy after it has been concluded by the members of that society. Your trinity was made orthodox and other heresy because it was concluded in the nicene creed with the help of constantine. The ignorance is alarming.

lawani: Irunmales are non material human beings. Olodumare is their King. The name of their capital is Ogotun and his title is Agotun. He chairs a ruling council of 401 irunmales. He himself is an irunmale. That is the teaching in Yoruba theology. There is nothing like orun apaadi or orun rere. I think those are descriptions brought into Yoruba language through religion. Heaven is just like Earth, so Olodumare is married with wife, kids,servants and etc but no account of God becoming flesh in Yoruba theology. Irunmales only exist in yoruba mythology. “Heaven is just like earth”, there is no “heaven” in yoruba mythology. Heaven is not a PLACE. Heaven means SKY. Orun has been translated as Heaven. But the truth is Orun and Islamic / Christian Heaven doesn't mean the same thing. The idea of heaven filled with golden streets, 72 virgins and mansion is Alien to us. Also the concept of Heaven is UP and Hell is Down is foreign to us. infact, we don't have the equivalent of Hellfire in Yoruba language .. The word hell was translated as Orun Apadi. Apadi literally mean "Broken Pot" The original stance of afterlife of the yoruba people is misconceived/altered by Islam and christianity. So what is Orun? Orun is a contraction of Orirun.The word Orirun is formed from two words "Ori" and "Run" Ori is very important to yoruba people, that's why you can't see any Yoruba art or sculpture without the head, sometimes it's just the head. There are two types of Ori: (1) Ori Ode (Physical Head) - used extensively to mean -- The top -- The Physical Self(A whole) -- The Pinnace -- The highest point -- The main place -- The major point (2) Ori Inú (Spiritual Head) -- Soul -- Spiritual self Used extensively as: --Destiny --Life path --Life purpose When "Run" means: --Originated (from) --initiate (from) --stem (from) When you put Ori-run together it means the main place of origination. The synonyms will be "The Source" The word doesn't suggest a particular place in the sky. According to Yoruba belief, when you die, you join your soul group. It might be below the ground, Jupiter, or one of the stars. Orrun (The source) is not a specific place. They believe that when you die, you go back to that particular source you came from. Orun or Orirun is not one specific place where everybody goes. Orun is just a strong version of Orírun. There is no promise of mansions, streets filled with gold, praising a deity for eternity while others burn in hell |

To the Yoruba, the other world is a replica of our world, there is probably an infinite number of irunmales but the Olodumare's government sits in a place called Ogotun with two hundred irun males on his right and two hundred on his left forming a council of four hundred and one irunmales with Olodumare as the head, ruling Ogotun as the Olu of Ogotun and the whole universe consisting of uncountable number of living things and uncountable number of irunmales as Olodumare.
Now, it is logical to deduce that orisas are incarnations of prominent irunmales using the as above so below rule because any society, whether of bees, ants, humans or irunmales will not be so different from the other and will be organised in a similar fashion.
The question of who created Olodumare will of course emerge but it can be a case of A creates B, B creates C, C creates D and D creates A all over again in a cycle or even a singularity where everything is one. However, it is better to limit our quest to Olodumare or God while leaving the other world to brainstorm about who created them. The answer to the question will be simple. The best answer I can think of is that everything is one. Nothing is separate from another. Stop lying. This is stark illiteracy. |

Lawag3: In his rather short cameo, the architects of the MCU do some subtle work to establish Doctor Strange as a more omniscient presence, witnessing the various events in the series from a further distance. Able to see the big picture, the new Sorcerer Supreme's role in the universe's status quo makes for an interesting development in a franchise,
It's was said in the comics that doctor strange is nigh omniscient the bible does not only describe God as omniscient it called him the all knowing God.
In our world there is no different realities but humans can make decisions right different types of decisions. Your god does not know everything?

Lawag3: Good you know the concept of alternate reality right? they understood the concept. In the comics doctor strange is described omniscience we see that in a scene in infinity wars where he looks into all possible outcome in the fight with Thanus he saw that they won in only one of those possible realities. The only difference in God is he doesn't interfere in the way you plan your life good or bad he lets you do what you want he tries to guide you but when you reject that he leaves you until you call him.
We are not robot we were not programmed or scripted God knows all doesn't mean he controls all Show me where doctor strange is described as omniscience. Show me where another person apart from you is making this ignorant claim. Omniscience doesn’t just mean you just know the “future”, it means you know EVERYTHING, past, PRESENT and future. An omniscience god knows EXACTLY what will happen from the beginning to end, there cannot be different realities, he has planned it all, he knows exactly how it will play out.

To choose to worship him that's is the free will.

Do you watch marvel movies?
Just answer the question I'm going somewhere. When your god punishes a man for not worshipping him that’s forcing someone, you should not be punished for using your free will. Why then did you he give you if they can’t use it FREELY? If you know everything that means you already planned it, you are only having fun.Yes i do watch marvel movies. |

His legs sometimes try to move him about and so he has to control it. Where did I mention “brain” in this statement but you still found a way to relate it to brain. “ Legs don’t move on their own because i have control over it. Like you said thought occur on their own with or without your control. How can you have stubborn thoughts if you have CONTROL over it? Who is bringing the stubborn thoughts? Who is controlling it? So you see you don’t have total control of your mind. My comparison is correct. I have TOTAL control over my LEG, you don’t have TOTAL control over your MIND.
