Ojuntana: Was Muhammad not claiming to be a prophet?
Where is there any hint of the tree of knowledge of good and evil being referred to as sex? If you insist it is sex, what then is the tree of life according to you? Also, if the fruit is sex, what offence did Adam commit in having sex with his wife? Eve would be the only sinner in your scenario since she had sex with the serpent according to your narrative. Why then did God curse Adam who was even the wronged party?
God did not curse Adam... Adam suffered the consequences of his Sin. You will start quoting the Bible but you are actually quoting Moses.
Like I told you what happened in the Garden of Eden is a mystery because, nobody was there except Christ. The author was interpreting according to inspiration. Then from my own understanding, it's sex because the Author says it's a tree at the center. I think another interpretation says Apple. If you ask me the tree of life, I will say it's Christ because, Christ was present.
If you look at my argument, it's consistent and Christ is the reason.
I tell you, the had premature sex introduced from an animal afflicted by Lucifer.
Eve had sex with the animal afflicted by Lucifer who was supposed to guide Adam and told Adam that it was sweet. The idiot could not rebuke Eve, he went ahead to sleep with Eve and that was the beginning of nakeddness.
Ojuntana: Go and read the gospel. Jesus Christ already warned his disciples to beware of fake prophets who will rise up in his name. Muhammad is among such. He twisted the story of Jesus to his narrative which his disciples believe today. Jesus said some people will think they are doing God's work by killing Christians. Who are those killing Christians today?
The story of creation was as revealed to Moses. As he said in Deuteronomy 29:29, the secret things belong to God. It is those that are revealed to us that are for us and our children. The story of creation as narrated by him is one of such. It is not Moses' thoughts but the revelation God gave to him on Mount Sinai.
You need to read the bible first, get a proper understanding before you start venturing your interpretation. It is dangerous to add what is not in the bible to it claiming you're free to add your own to it.
Be guided.
God warned you about fake prophets and you think it's Mohammed?
God warned us about the tree of life and death and I think its sex, you say I am wrong but you are right.
Britain and organized religion has messed up the fellowship of Christ but my hope still lies on the Christ life because, the truth cannot be subdued forever.
Whatever happened in the old testament is history and we just have to learn from it. They are completely irrelevant if it does not correspond with the salvation Christ brought.
If our ancestors were smart, they would have documented there experiences and it's old testament as well. They had prophets sent by God as well... I know this will sound strange to you and organized religion. But no p
Ojuntana: The bible tells them that Muhammad is fake. Even they themselves know he's deeply flawed reason why they don't encourage inquiry and questioning in their faith. They have such phrases like Allah knows best to cover their ignorance and confusion.
What Moses wrote was validated by other prophets that came after him most especially Isaiah, Jeremiah and Daniel.
Moses never said apple. I suspect you've never read the bible. The type of fruit was described as the fruit from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil or simply put the conscience or discernment that everyone carries around. There's another tree there with fruits known as the tree of life. None of the two were described as apples. You're doing even worse than Damina. It couldn't have been premature sex because a lot of sexual sins have occurred since then and man has not been accused of falling all over again. In fact, Sodom and Gomorrah were notorious for sexual perversions which is why they were destroyed. Thus, if it was sexual sin, any time it is committed anywhere, it will imply that man has fallen all over again which will negate the idea of original sin and of course invalidate the death of Jesus as redemption from all sins since only a particular sin was committed by Adam.
See your problem is organized religion.
Where was it mentioned in the Bible that Mohammed was fake. I never saw Mohammed in the Bible not to talk of him been fake.
Tree of knowledge and evil is a description by Moses. However if it is correct which I think he is, it's a position from God. We don't know the reasons because, God won't explain everything to you. However, like I say, it's completely irrelevant if it's Apple or not. Disobedience is disobedience and it is Jesus dieing and resurrecting is why we are still for some reasons we still can't tell.
I am telling you what I think it is and you can say your own just like Moses said.
The prophets that came after Moses were all human beings as well and still came short of the glory. If not, there was no need for Christ.
My advise is for us to concentrate on the salvation. What Adam did is now irrelevant however, we must learn from it.
If you sin you shall die. Even if you are forgiven, the consequences are there.
Adam sinned and God had to intercede before he was rescued.
Skooltynz: Imagine an elite billionaire humbling himself to the level of the lowest in the society, this man has proven beyond doubt that he loves his country and willing to serve the common man, may God grant his heart desire true power comes from above God bless the true patriots of Nigeria
IDP caused by North . Well that's his business. This is the IDP they wish for people in Oyo and other parts of the country.
ColonelMichael: Ronu suffering and smillling urchins and islamic bastards of the pig prophet mohammed and the dog allah will hate this news because sane people will be leaving this country they want to turn to afganistan leaving only them to suffer, they need people to be smiling and suffering with.
My brother, these janjaweedd and afonjalistic i idiots will do anything to discourage others. Truth the Europeans see Nigerians as hustlers and baby makers and they want to maintain population and skilled people to improve industries
Ojuntana: The bible is an historical book That you choose to add what is not there to it is a curse in itself according to the same bible. The bible is clear that Eve ate the forbidden fruit and gave to Adam to eat as well That you're adding your own version as facts without any evidence is a fraud on your part. There are fake evangelists just as there are fake prophets like Muhammad was
Let me start from the tail, who will tell followers of Mohammed that he is fake?
Now who would say what Moses wrote is right or wrong?
If you start reasoning like this, you will start seeing the truth.
Jesus was there in spirit when Adam was created and he didn't validate any apple eating. That is the fact unless you don't believe Jesus. However, since he didn't say what was eating, means you need to use ur understanding.
However, whatever happened is irrelevant. The main thing is Adam did the wrong thing and the wrong thing could be whatever you construct in your head as sin. In my head, what I sense is premature sex. Moses said Apple, Damina said nothing was eaten, you can still say your own.
Evangelism is for everyone... I am doing my own evangelism as well but as a Christian, it's optional to believe or not. The Bible contains the word of God, the words of men and the words of the devil. If you reject the word of God, you are just like Adam. However, if you perish because of ignorance, no one will save you. Put your self in the Muslim world, how would you rescue yourself from the Jihadist Quran if you don't use your head?
Ojuntana: You mean you can write your own bible as long as you get the underlying theme correct?
That sounds like fraud to me. It's like saying I can print my own naira as long as I use the existing denominations
I advise you don't believe everything thing you see in the Bible. You should only believe if it's related to Christ... Every other thing is history and stories you cannot verify.
Ojuntana: So how do you read it. Give me your exegesis of Genesis 1:28 in relation to your claim
If I believe Genesis 1:28 according to how it's written, why shouldnt I believe other controversial chapters. Therefore, I constructed my mind to read it with wisdom and what I believe it says, it's what I believe in relation to Christ. The only reason why Adam failed was disobedience, therefore how it happened is what any one can construct including me
Ojuntana: I asked you where it is written in the Bible that it wasn't time to make babies but they disobeyed and you resorted to this disjointed epistle. Genesis 1:28 Be fruitful and multiple. Was that before or after the fall in your bible
I am saying I don't read old testament according the the wordings. If you read it that way, alot of things were not corresponding and I don't believe God is confused like that.
Old testament is understood by inspiration. Its 80% stories and history... Written by some inspired leaders. Unfortunately, non of our elders were smart enough to document our history. Old testament is pure Jewish history. If you know the things inspired by God himself, read the book of Hebrew. Anything you didn't see in the book of Hebrew was not inspired by God and possibly did not happen.
Yes sir, squeeze it more. The kind beer igbo people drank this Christmas is worrisome. Increase pump price to 5k and reduce minimum wage to 22k. We must teach them political lessons
Kam2021: I unread this. If you are not sure don't say what you don't know.
Everything was stated, how an animal deceived Eve and advised Eve to deceive Adam. The animal was called snake and sapent which if you analyse it well. It's a subtle being. Snake was used to represent they type of creature.
Kam2021: Heidi,you people want to rewrite bible?It clearly stated she took from are and gave to Adam. Okay let's assume it's sex,did she first have sex with herself ,before having sex with Adam?It's not possible. For the bible, of course men wrote it via inspiration from God.Archaeologists have further validated and shown proofs of biblical characters and acts that took place in biblical times. Then coming to smoking and drinking, most who smoke and drink have been known to do questionable acts that can't be morally justified. Smoke or cigar is an abuse of the purpose of creation of the herbs . Whatever you believe, the bible is true and sure.
If you are to tell your children a story related to sex... Would you tell them exactly how it is? Of course you will use parables. Eve had sex with an animal, and then told Adam that it's sweet. The consequences of premarital sex is the issue Adam had with God
Those things catholics are doing there is occultic. They progress because, they seems to know what they worship and they serve it well. About making heaven, na God go decide that one
Kam2021: False prophets will arise to lead many astray. Be careful who you follow, it's not by the person's title. Which bible is he quoting from?Genesis 3:6 stated it clearly. Hope all is well with the apostle?
Who wrote Genesis? I tell you, the person that wrote Genesis was not there. He only had a dream or went on Trance and we all know dreams are not clear. Damina says Jesus was there because, he is God in a man form. Therefore, we should believe him than Moses. Going by what Jesus said, it's not what you eat but what you say or do. Therefore, is not what Adam ate that defiled him, it was what he did.
From my own understanding, it's sex... Nothing wey person go tell me
gasparpisciotta: On the Apple matter I tend to agree with Pst Damina.
Adam and Eve were corrupted by something that revealed their inner minds to them, could be Marijuana or other intoxicants.
The Bible we are reading today has been modified a couple of times and many new things have been inserted or changed completely.
However on the issue of what you take in and what comes out, that is where I get I little confused.
Some people take high intoxicants that leads them to committing many atrocities, are we saying it is not the act of of taking intoxicants that led them to misbehave?
Jesus said and I quote- a man is not defiled by what enters his mouth but what comes out.
So a drunkard that spills rubbish is not defiled by the drink but by his vituperations?
I think it is better to abstain from anything that will intoxicate anyone to do evil.
Temptation is not a sin... Sin is when you act on the temptation. Therefore, highness is not a since but when you act on the influence of the highness it becomes a sin
ExAngel007: American influencer, Woah Vicky has made some observations following her recent visit to Nigeria.
The social media star admitted that Lagos is known for its popping nightlight activities, but noted that many people in Nigeria are struggling with hunger and poverty.
According to Vicky, Nigeria needs prayers, tangible support, and just tourism for entertainment.
See her post below...
This prayer of a thing is the greatest deceit in human history. Prayer will not stop hunger in Nigeria. Just divide the country let like minds come together and build a better country. It's not prayer that stopped hunger in America.
Damage control. I still don't believe anyone took any money or even if bank account was hacked it's not more than 10m. However, I won't rule out inside job or dangerous girl friend who has blackmailing capacity.
Kidnappers, skull miners, herdsmen and now terrorists wan join up in the name of sharia courts.

Yaribas don buy market.. Total annihilation of that community in progress, installation of Emir and establishment of sharia Court. If they no prepare, sorry for them. Make them carry igbo problems for their head
Odafe360: I posted a previous topic about my divorce with my wife and i got alot of advice on this platform which really encouraged & have me strength.
I'm really grateful for the nairaland community. The only issue i'm still battling with right now is how to move on, i'm trying everyday to forget the past, but the more i try, the more it's becoming fresh in my heart and the pains too. I won't lie to you it's difficult. Sincerely sometimes i cry and the thoughts of ending my life comes and goes. I don't drink, I don't smoke, neither do i womannize and worst of all i don't have much friends cos I'm more of an introvert.
A snippet of the entire problem is that most times we have an issue and she leaves the house, i've always been the one going to speak to her mum, plead and bring them back home, that's why whenever there's problem and she goes back to her mom's place, nobody from her family would contact me to even hear my side because I've become like a fool to them cos they know i'll still come. This last one that she left, we just had a little issue and she packed a her things and left. So many people not to go to her family house and beg this time around since i didn't send them packing. I swear guys, i've forgiven and tolerated what 90% of men won't forgive nor tolerate from her.
Please guys help a brother with more advice, how do i move on?
Swallow red pills early you say no, that's the consequences.
Simping has no benefit, trust me. When you are no longer a man, a woman won't need you. Swallow the red pill and face reality.

Avoid doing business in Nigeria unless it's the only option but keep your eyes in the country because, the opportunities are excess but until the system resets. For now, avoid Nigeria at all cost.
zero8zero: Lauretta Onochie, a Nigerian presidential aide, has reacted to a video showing Canadians queuing for palliatives.
In the video, a large crowd of Canadians can be seen waiting in line to receive palliatives. The scene is reminiscent of similar scenes often seen in developing countries, where citizens may queue for essential items.
Onochie's reaction to the video highlights the unexpected nature of the scene, with many Nigerians expressing surprise that a developed country like Canada would experience such a situation.
The video has sparked a wider conversation about the impact of economic conditions and the importance of social welfare programs. Many have praised the Canadian government's efforts to provide support to its citizens, while others have criticized the perceived inefficiencies in the distribution process.
The reaction from Onochie and other Nigerians underscores the global nature of economic challenges and the need for effective social safety nets.
THEY WERE ORDERLY.

Giveaway was announced in a city in Canada to cater for 1000 households for Christmas. Guess what? 15,000 individuals showed up and WAITED for hours in the rain. But unfortunately, only 2000 got food, and the rest got nothing. No Stampede pic.twitter.com/RJ5OkNQcVs
Madam go and sip your palm wine and sleep. Imagine if those that didn't get have no other hope you think there won't be stampede? In Nigeria, there is no hope that's why there is stampede.
LocalFARMERS: This year has been a blessed year to most farmers. I had a bountiful harvest from my beans farm this year. I sold over 20 bags and I kept enough to last me the next 12 months in my house. Apart from the ones I shared to family, friends and neighbors.
Farming is very lucrative these days. It's easy to become a millionaire via farming now. As few bags of farm produce will give you millions.
