Seun please bring back the separation lines back, we are straining our eyes to read through the topics. I'm sure most nairalanders want it back.

missjo:
As stated above, this is simply a response to a topic I came across on the home page of this forum:
https://www.nairaland.com/5443357/allegory-garden-eden-account-fall

I normally do not concern myself with religious debates online or in real life conversations because it usually gets to the point where people leave the topic and try to silence me by making references to my personal choices.
However, on this, I choose to correct the pervasive thinking on that thread put forward by a user by the name Offpoint.


Below is an edited version of my response to him on the topic:

First of all, there is no sexual allegory to be seen in the story of the fall. None whatsoever.
Adam was present right there when the serpent was talking to Eve. The fruit is a very real fruit: There was a tree of life (for spiritual nourishment which could be eaten), there was also a tree of the knowledge of good and evil (not to be eaten). There were many other trees.
The emphasis on trees and fruits generally was because the first creation were all herbivores, no one ate meat not even the lions and tigers. If indeed sex is the fruit, how do we explain the fruit from the Tree of life which was also mentioned in the bible and which they were not forbidden to eat from?

Secondly, evil did not enter the world through Cain. At least not in the world as we know it now, because all of his descendants were killed by the flood. The only surviving people after the flood were Noah and his family. Noah himself is a direct descendant of Seth, the son born to Adam after Abel was killed.
Evil came into the world again after the flood through the descendants of Ham, Ham is Noah's second son between Shem and Japheth. Apparently, Noah had gotten drunk with wine and was unclothed. Ham saw his unclothedness and announced it to his siblings.
His brothers went into the tent and covered him up by carrying a cloth but walking backwards to avoid seeing their father's unclothedness.
Noah then cursed Ham and his descendants for that error.
The next time the bible mentions people who did evil in the sight of God was in the story of the tower of Babel. These people tried to build a monument towards the sky in an attempt to defy God, these people are descendants of Ham.

Lastly and about the missing books of the bible we know today.
The people who removed the books from the bible were translators because the Jewish council of Rabbis who first convened to put the complete scrolls together in what you now call the Bible refer to those missing books as UNINSPIRED works. Uninspired means they were not written through revelations, visions, or dreams from God but through the writers own will. If you have read any of these books, you would notice a subjective theme from the writer's point of view missing in most of the other books left in the bible today.
This does not mean the books are demonic or seek to distort the Christian's attitude towards God.

As at the time the Bible was being translated, the translators themselves began removing these books based off their own personal decision.
There are still Bibles with the complete books, no single book missing from them, but you have to go back to translations that were released before 1560 which is when the Geneva bible was produced. This is the first time it was divided into chapters and verses and arguably the first time The Apocrypha (Uninspired writings) were removed.



That will be all for now.

This is what happens when we attribute the works of man to the supreme being.

Confusion! as against the perfection of the supreme being.

I'm not understanding, is there a TV show or series on instagram only

All these so-called actresses we haven't seen on TV before but hear only on instagram,

what is really happening..

.

Wrong interpretation but the dream might be right after all.

He will surely be celebrated for making the Finals. Each one of the 5 left there is a winner.

Omosorire:
What are the initial names suggested by the committee before it was changed to "Abuja"

It wasn't made public after Obasanjo took over.

In 1975, with good intentions, Gen. Murtala Mohammed appointed a 7 man committee led by justice Akinola Aguda (Tai Solarin was a member ) to examine the dual role of Lagos as a federal and state capital and recommend a suitable alternative for a federal capital which will belong to every Nigerian and won't be cited within one of the three major ethnic groups and it's name won't be affiliated with any ethnic group.

After Murtala was killed, the names suggested by the committee was abandoned and it was named "Abuja" - A name in an existing Northern emirate capital.

The whole concept of a new FCT as a symbol of our unity and nationhood was completely assassinated and buried.

plaindealer:
Both men were actually at this event together.

See what lazy rumore mongering and gossiping Nigerian youths reduced themselves to?

Instead of honing their tools and finding ways to govern and do better than the current leaders, they are only preoccupied with market women gossips and rumor-mongering with zero facts and knowledge.

What a sad shame..

See what incomplete journalism would lead to. Why did you leave out Obafemi's pic before. Could that have been on purpose by you to sway people's opinion?

davodyguy:
Sanwo Olu
Hamzat
HMO are all tools in the hands of BAT

This guy was never prepared as Fashola and Ambode were. He's just imposed on Lagosians in September, 2018 during APC primary in Lagos State. Did you hear his name prior to the Primary?

They were shopping for Ambode's replacement and Sanwo was available after being told what and what not to do. He agreed, then Baba James Odunmbaku was told to hold a conference and announce Sanwo Olu

Lol..

Just Follow the blueprint/Mega plan and it shall lead to Eldorado

ideylaff:
wow you are a sharp guy.... there has bn a slight issue between them..... still unresolved though....

You must be an in-house person to have known about the "slight issue".

Still, its not rocket science to know what happens when you bring strange bed fellows together.

I hope it hasn't started already

We haven't been seeing Obafemi Hamzat frolicking around with sanwo-olu recently as was the case when they just came in.

Who we see with him now is Tinubu's third eye Muri Okunola.

Moral Lesson:

No matter the condition, Never give up on yourself.

Welcome to Africa where Age means everything.

Okay.

Noted till when we get our own car.

This is what happens when you don't have the right leaders,
Every seemingly good policy would eventually turn out bad due to bad strategy and implementation.


This is what happens when you square pegs in round holes,
At every opportunity, they would want to make their boss feel good about them to their detriment of these citizens they are to make life better for.

That's the quagmire we currently find ourselves as a Nation.

Seun:
Try searching google for Joker Stream. They are currently showing the award ceremony. The highlights will be on Youtube shortly.

Seun, could you kindly please change my Username to "Boye" . Thanks in anticipation.

Any pastor who performs miracle in this century is a big fraud.

Beautiful piece.

Though, not much is done in providing workable solutions to quagmire we've found ourselves.

The way blacks risks their lives.

No wonder our leaders have little regards for our lives and protection.
