Guys dont bother with African gods that the God of the bible judged?

The God of the bible disgraced the African gods,
now if these gods can't save themselves how can they save you?

Exodus 12:12
For I will pass through the land of Egypt this night,
and will smite all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, both man and beast;
and against all the gods of Egypt I will execute judgment: I am the Lord.

Sorry guys African gods are useless the only living God is the God of the bible.

PS
allah is not the God of the bible ,
if allah were God it will tell moslems to stop killing Jews & Christians.


Surah 5:51
O you who have believed, do not take the Jews and the Christians as allies.
They are [in fact] allies of one another. And whoever is an ally to them among you -
then indeed, he is [one] of them.
Well I don't know whom you refer as the God of the bible but Allah (Arabic), Elai/Elah (Aramaic) and IlohIm (Hebrew) all refer to the Almighty The Creator of the universe. If the God of bible differ than this then surely is different.

On the Surah 5:51 above

The Jews and Christians are allies of one another: The Jews believe that Ezra is son of God while the Christians believe that Jesus is son of God. But we Muslims believe that both of them were messengers of God. For God does not need Father, Son, Mother, Wife, Sister or Brother in fact having need for any of these is a sign of weakness. God is Omnipotent the Creator who create out of Nothing. He is the One we refer as Allah and Jesus refer to Him as Elai/Elah (check your bible) and the Jews refer to Him as ElohIm. God is an English word that was not known to Jesus and all the other messengers and hence they never used it to refer to The Almighty.

Their sorrows shall be multiplied that hasten after another god. Ps 16:4b

sir, you are in no position to believe what the op has not specifically said sad ..... Africa is Africa, good sir.... The thread didn't say 'black Africa


And yes, Egypt was part and parcel of the Arabian Peninsula as well as part of Africa.... so yes, if islam originated from anywhere in the middle east, it can be said to originate from Egypt as well...
If Islam originate from egypt, I guess Christianity originate from there too. Abi, What's your say on thishuh

Who is Osun's father?
By some, he is alleged to be Osun'd father but going by facts, does this mean that Olufon, the known first born of Obatala whose compound is still at Ife till eternity older than Osun who is often stated to have existed before Olufon who has existed even before Sango? Or are there two different Osuns?

Each child of Obatala, apart of Olufon' have their names present in the hierachical arrangment of Obatala's chiefs - a progression/growth that each person acquires till they become Obalesun (a name tag for Obatala). Some of the names are Olomo, leemo, Obalurin, Obanurin, Obalepon etc

From my own history of Obatala, gotten from a strong source, Osun was never said to have been Obatala's child, neither was he a husband to Yemoja.

Note: mythical aspect of Yoruba history is different from its actual history. From my rejoinder above, there appears to have been two Osuns. Same way there was an Ogun that paved the way for Obatala, Esu and Orunmila; then another one who was a one time Ooni in Ife - which are the Ogun adherents following? I leave that to you to answer.

You can either start distinguishing the myth in Yoruba cosmology from actual Yoruba history or continue to muddle them up sir.
Re: Major African Gods And Their Origin by Nobody:


I rep Obatala Obatasa.
Yemoja Yeye osun.
Tron Kumanini Janta.
Ogunlakaye oshimole.
Esu laalu ogiri oko.
Ifa Olokun asoro dayo etc.

I love our african deities.

That's another name for Yemoja.

Yeyemoolu's nick/short name is Yemoo.

They are two different deities.
You mean Yemowo is different from Yemoja?

How is it another name for Yemoja at the same time?

I asked a Christian this question and the answer I got was surprising.

The Bible says Noah went into the ark with two animals of every kind, male and female. Why did the animals not eat each other? The Christian looked at me and said god put his spirit on the animals, so they weren't hungry.

My question here is that, if god could put his Spirit on animals not to eat each other, he made them starve for 40days then why did he not put his spirit on the people of the Bible who ate their children?

6:29 So we boiled my son, and did eat him: and I said unto her on the next day, Give thy son, that we may eat him: and she hath hid her son. 2 Kings
You err bruv. If the holy spirit has filled yoy, you woukd have underatand better.

By then, the Lord was not with them na.

Which African god is more hungry than your imported christian god who demands ''tithe'' - something like half your salary, every Sunday?

I mean the very minute one enters your churches, there are trays passed around to collect money from even those who have nothing to give.

That description of Sango looks like something you will get from the Carribeans and the South-Americans. I'm pretty sure the African yoruba version will have a slightly different Sango story. Let me call someone to lend credence to my line of thought.

CC: FOLYKAZE
Yes that's a Carribean description of Obatala, Yemoja and Sango.
Yoruba version is slightly different
