But you were once a die hard CE member. What would you classify yourself at that time now?

felixomor:
I even defined what a "contradiction" is from the oxford dictionary.
Its only a stranger to english language that would see gymnastics here, as u claim. There are hundreds of such scripture misinterpretations like the one u highlighted. They all have one thing in common. The people misinterpreting them dont know the definition of "contradiction".And that is the case in your own example here, obviously.

DoctorAlien:
Ignorant fellow that says sin is the cause of infirmity and that healing = forgiving sin, please leave me alone.

felixomor:
U didnt read my write up.
Its crystal clear.

The Bible does not contradict itself.
Over the centuries past, Numerous Agnostic and even some atheist professors who have thoroughly studied the entire bible have on many occasions, come to that conclusion, even despite admitting they dont believe it. Although many came to later believe after a complete study of it.

I would like to first define what a contradiction is according to the Oxford English dictionary;

A combination of statements, ideas, or features which are opposed to one another:


A good example will be thus:
"John went to school "

To contradict or oppose this statement,
I will have to say;
"John never went to school"

In the light of the aforementioned definition;
"John went to market"
would not even by any means, be a contradiction to
"John went to school"

Why? You may ask.
The answer is simple;

John may have gone to both school and the market, but at different times.



Amen.

PastorAIO:
Son of God was a common enough term in Judaism that has been used for various characters. especially Kings.

Exodus 4:22 "Thus saith Jehovah, Israel is my son, even my firstborn

When Jesus admits to being the son of God how did the Jewish leaders interprete it? :


"Then they all said, "Are you then the Son of God?" And he said to them, 'You rightly say that I am.' And they said, 'What further testimony do we need? For we have heard it ourselves from his own mouth.' Then the whole multitude of them arose and led him to Pilate. And they began to accuse him, saying, 'We found this fellow perverting the nation, and forbidding to pay taxes to Caesar, saying that he himself is Christ, a King.' So Pilate asked him, saying, 'Are you the king of the Jews?' And he answered him and said, 'It is as you say.'" (Luke 22:70 -23:3)

Did the Sanhedrin say: This is blasphemy and religious perversion that Jesus called himself Son of God. ?

Or did they see it as a political problem instead: He is refusing to pay taxes and calling himself a King. ?

You see, in judaism, calling yourself the Son of God is a claim to be the Messiah which is a political position. The Kings are Messiahs from Saul down to the last one.

Not only God can forgive sins.

Forgive us our Sins as we forgive those that sin against us. Jesus fully expects that humans are capable of forgiving sins.

14For if you forgive others their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you, 15but if you do not forgive others their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.


The notion that only God can forgive sins was considered a fallacy that Jesus corrected when the leaders accused him of blasphemy. In that very Matt 9 passage that you are quoting Jesus later says:

6But so that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins...”

Note that he upholds the distinction between God and Man and asserts that the Son of Man too, as well as god, has the authority to forgive sins.

Any which way Kwara is a Yorubaland but forever a northern state.

PAGAN9JA:
The traditional religion of the Hausa is Bori . Pagan Hausa are called Maguzawa/Maguzanci / Arna . Many christian Hausa even now identify as Maguzawa as the missionaries found it easy to proselytyze among some of our communities.


I won't go into too many details of Bori. its a lot.

But you can find Bori in some old neighborhoods of Kano and other Hausa states. Purer forms of Bori are found in the borders between Nigeria and Niger.
Gods (Iskoki) include:, Ubangiji(Creator abstract), Sarkin Iskoki (The King of all Gods), Maiyaali, Kure (The Great Hyena) , Magiro (on hearing whose name we touch the ground), Jato, Yerima(Galadima), Sarkin Rafi, Mai Aska,Inna, Wazri, Doguwa, Dakaki, Mai JaChikkki, Manzo, Jam Maraki, Sarkin Pawa, Babban Maza, Jigo, Sarkin Barchi, Uwal Yara, etc.


The Chief Priest is usually a female called Sarrounia (Niger esp- higher post) or Magajiya (Nigeria esp)


Fulani pre-islamic religion relics will be found amongst the Mbororoen/Woodabe. some of their initiation and rituals involves invoking these relics of their ancestral faith.

In Fulani religion, the Chief Creator God is Geno (Geno Dundari) .

A famous traditional poem begins thus:

"Geno, the Eternal Lord first created the cow. Then he created the woman, only then the Pullo. He put the woman behind the cow. He put the Pullo behind the woman. It is what the genesis of the drover says, it is what makes the holy trinity of the pastor. Glory to the Creator of all things - the chaos and light; the full egg and the great void! Frrom the drop of milk, he extracted the universe; the teat, he brought out the word. Nomadic speech, longest river of milk that multiplies the meanders between deserts and forests to say and repeat the incredible adventure of Fulɓe."



Other Gods include the sacred hermaphrodite cow/ox called Ndurbeele, symbol of creation, progenitor of the first 22 cattle. This is why nomadic traditional Fulbe rarely kill cattles and protect them over their own lives.

Kumen (i suppose a trixter deity), Foroforondu (Goddess of fertility), Tjaamba (monstrous snake-like deity / guide and protector), Tongo and Rongo (other evil Gods, require sacrifices),etc.
