Christianity EtcRe: Is The Bible The Word Of God? by nonjebose(m): 7:19am On Jul 17, 2016
alfarouq:
For any book or scripture to claim divinity, it must be free from contradictions, there are many tests to check the authenticity of a scripture but this i will refer to as one of the sufficiency test. any body is free to go and check for himself whether the things written here are true or not and act accordingly.

CONTRADICTIONS:
Concerning the controversial issues in the Bible, how can Christians decide by two-thirds majority what is God's Word and what is not, as the prefaces of some Bibles say like that one of the RSV ?

Why does Luke in his gospel report the Ascension on Easter Day, and in the Acts, in which he is recognized as the author, FORTY days later?

The genealogy of Jesus is mentioned in Matthew and Luke only. Matthew listed 26 forefathers from Joseph to David while Luke enumerated 41 forefathers. Only Joseph matches with Joseph in those two lists. Not a single other name matches! If these were inspired by God word by word, how could they be
different? Some claim that one is for Mary and one is for Joseph, but where does it
says Mary in those two Gospels?

If Moses wrote the first books of the Old Testament, how could Moses write his own obituary? Moses died in the fifth book at age 120 as mentioned in Deut. 34:5-10.

In the King James Version, why does it report SEVEN years of famine in II SAMUEL 24:13 while it reports THREE years of famine in I CHRONICLES 21:12? Why did they change both to THREE years in the New International Version and other versions?

Still In the same King James Version, why does it say that Jehoiachin was eight years old when he began to reign in II CHRONICLES 21:12, while it says EIGHTEEN years in II KINGS 24:8? Why did thessey change in both to EIGHTEEN in the new Versions?

In all versions, why does it say that David slew the men of SEVEN HUNDRED chariots of the Syrians, and forty thousand HORSEMEN as evidenced in II Samuel 10:18 while its says SEVEN THOUSAND men which fought in chariots, and forty thousand FOOTMEN, in I CHRONICLES 19:18?

In all versions, why does it report TWO thousand baths in I KINGS 7:26 while II CHRONICLES 4:5 reports THREE THOUSAND?

In the King James version, why does it report that Solomon had FOUR THOUSAND stalls for horses in II CHRONICLES 9:25 while it accounts that Solomon had FORTY THOUSAND stalls of horses in 1 KINGS 4:26? Why did they change both to FOUR THOUSAND in the new versions?

In GENESIS 1, God's creation progresses from grass to trees to fowls, whales, cattle and creeping things and finally to man and woman. GENESIS 2, however, puts the creation of man before cattle and fowl and woman
subsequent to beast. How can this be explained?

Natascha:
All I see is pockets of fat all over and everywhere. Chai! My fellow South African women don suffer. Shapeliss amoebas. Chai!

When fat women start glamorizing their fatness as "thick"

Do they know what is thick?

Thick is: nice boobs, slim waist, defined hips, shapely thighs and a round booty

LiteratureRe: Cyprian Ekwensi Plagiarized Hausa Story "Jiki Magayi" by nonjebose(m): 10:45am On Jul 16, 2016
Gaddafithe2nd:
No matter what he must acknowledge the writer of the original book. I have read some books translated from one language to another. The original author(s) is/are acknowledged.
That is if he translated. Revisit the questions I raised
LiteratureRe: Cyprian Ekwensi Plagiarized Hausa Story "Jiki Magayi" by nonjebose(m): 9:58am On Jul 16, 2016
Gaddafithe2nd:
Why do some people like supporting evil?. Plagiarism is bad, even though, he translated the novel from Hausa language to English, he must acknowledge the the author of the novel written in Hausa language.
And what if he does not know the author? What if he heard it as an hausa folklore as a kid? Why was the work not contested even when it became popular, if it was a verbatim translation as claimed by OP? Have you read both books?
LiteratureRe: Cyprian Ekwensi Plagiarized Hausa Story "Jiki Magayi" by nonjebose(m): 9:46am On Jul 16, 2016
emonkey:
[size=14pt]Who published Jiki Magayi and what were the terms of his publishing agreement ? This is what should be your focus and not who wrote what ? Publishing terms are never always the same.
1. If the original writer sold it outright to the publisher , the publisher can assign another writer to write the translation or rewrite the book without giving any credit or money to the original writer. I have previously sold two books to a foreign writer under this sort of agreement with full understanding of the consequences.
2. Have you ever asked who John Tafida Umaru is/was ? The person may not exist and might have just been created by the publisher for the purpose of localising the book. Does he/she have any other literary credit apart from this book ?
3. Was Jiki Magayi still in copyright when Ekwensi did the translation? Copyright typically expires 50 years after the death of the author, if not renewed,
Check the facts properly . Don't criticise unduly.

Most of Wole Soyinka's plays are not original by the way. They are brilliant adaptations of nearly forgotten classics . His plays were good and became famous, made him famous. They were not original in any case and the families of Greek authors who have been dead for centuries are not looking all over for the Nobel Laureate to sue,[/size]
. Exactly my take. The OP has not been able to clarify that there was no understanding between the writer of Jilki Magayi and CE. Another issue is, was CE's work verbatim translation of the original work or having a similar plot and characterisation? Some of these old works are told as folklores without any reference to the author or copyright. CE grew up in Minna, may have heard the story, wrote an adaptation years later without any immediate challenge.
