Girl or adult? I'm not getting it anymore. Does a father have the right to beat up his adult child?
Yes he has the right to discipline his child if he or she does something wrong after several warnings. This is Africa.

FutureFocus:
Well meaning people need to start joining politics , leadership role shouldn’t be for political compensation , Buhari 8Years of Brutal governance on masses as he enjoyed his land days in Maybach and Aso Mansion wasted just like that, Tinubu 4 years is another hell , these near grave people should go and rest, all we need is electricity and security so we can do our business not just collecting tax everywhere, on the road, electronics tax , which one is security fee? Where is the security? The man that created confusion in power distribution with Band A to E has threw the poor into total darkness
I pity Ibadan people, they should expect everything in social classification when he becomes their governor, I bet there will be band A road to Band E road in Ibadan soon , only the rich will be driving on good roads, only roads in band A areas will be done
Adebutu baba Ijebu son is from Ogun state. Don't mistake him for minister of darkness.

Christianity EtcRe: Atheist Artemis II Commander Converts To Christianity After Trip To Moon(video by sweetkev(m): 12:04pm On Apr 26
KobolanderSegun:
As a one time hardcore atheist I know with 1,000 certainty that Jesus Christ is the Son of God. Any one who claims God has no son does not even know God. If you read even the Torah it says " and the son's of God came to meet God " Angels are called Sons of God. If we are called Children of God, Then that men's God is our Father, that means men are sons of God and Women are daughters of God. # "Sons of God" in the Old Testament

The phrase **"Sons of God"** (Hebrew: *bene elohim* / *bene ha-elohim*) appears in the following Old Testament passages:

## Exact Occurrences of *bene ha-elohim* ("the sons of God"wink

- **Genesis 6:2** – "The sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose."
- **Genesis 6:4** – "There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them..."
- **Job 1:6** – "Now there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the LORD, and Satan came also among them."
- **Job 2:1** – "Again there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the LORD, and Satan came also among them to present himself before the LORD."

## Related Phrase (without the definite article)

- **Job 38:7** – "When the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of God shouted for joy." (Hebrew: *bene elohim*)

## Textually Variant Passage

- **Deuteronomy 32:8** – The Masoretic Text reads "according to the number of the sons of Israel," but the Dead Sea Scrolls (4QDtj, 4QDtq) and the Septuagint read "according to the number of the sons of God" (*bene elohim* / "angels of God"wink. Many scholars consider the "sons of God" reading to be the original.

## Closely Related Expressions

- **Psalm 29:1** – "Give unto the LORD, O ye mighty (*bene elim* – 'sons of the mighty' or 'heavenly beings'), give unto the LORD glory and strength."
- **Psalm 89:6** – "For who in the heaven can be compared unto the LORD? who among the sons of the mighty (*bene elim*) can be likened unto the LORD?"
- **Psalm 82:6** – "I have said, Ye are gods; and all of you are children of the Most High (*bene elyon* – 'sons of the Most High')."
- **Daniel 3:25** (Aramaic) – King Nebuchadnezzar describes a fourth figure in the fiery furnace as having a form "like the Son of God" (*bar elahin*).

## Summary Count

- **Exact phrase *bene ha-elohim* ("the sons of God"wink:** 4 occurrences (Genesis 6:2, 6:4; Job 1:6, 2:1)
- **Phrase *bene elohim* (without article):** 1 occurrence (Job 38:7)
- **Deuteronomy 32:8:** "Sons of God" appears in the Dead Sea Scrolls and Septuagint, but not in the standard Masoretic Text
- **Related phrases (*bene elim*, *bene elyon*, *bar elahin*):** 4 additional passages with similar theological concepts

## Interpretive Notes

The identity of the "Sons of God" has been debated throughout Jewish and Christian history. Three primary interpretations exist:

1. **Angelic beings** – This view is supported by the usage in Job 1:6, 2:1, and 38:7, where the "sons of God" appear in God's heavenly court. Many ancient Jewish sources and early Church Fathers held this view for Genesis 6 as well.

2. **Descendants of Seth** – The godly line of Seth intermarrying with the ungodly line of Cain. This interpretation became popular among later Rabbinic writers and some Christian theologians seeking to avoid the idea of angels marrying humans.

3. **Ancient kings or rulers** – Human leaders who claimed divine status or exercised tyrannical power, a view held by some modern scholars.

Most modern scholars note that in the **Book of Job**, the context strongly suggests angelic beings, while **Genesis 6** remains more contested. The phrase consistently denotes beings with a special relationship to God, whether heavenly or (in some interpretations) exceptionally endowed humans.

> "The term 'sons of God,' in Hebrew, is *bene elohim*. It is used five times in the Old Testament (twice in Genesis 6, and once each in Job 1, Job 2, and Job 38)."

So Jesus Christ calling himself the Son Of God was nothing New, but to the spiritually blind it was a sign of Blasphemy.
Thank you for this

yinkus6750:
The level of insecurity in Nigeria is caused by Islamist terrorist, banditry and it's likes.
A critical analysis of the situation will let you know it's not a religious war. We've had bombings and killings in both Churches and Mosques.
Those killed in Borno,which has suffered the highest casualty are majorly Muslims.
It should be a major war against insurgency, not making it a religious war. The country needs all the intervention and support it can get from the international community,cos ,it seems beyond our control, as the situation keeps getting worse.
There are more Christians in Borno than any other Northern states.
