Abohboy:Do you hear what I said earlier, I have moved with afrelist when I was growing up,human sacrifice to Ogun is something they proudly mention, this is no British bastardization, this is from the Ogun worshippers themselves. You can please mention the verses in the Bible that support racism and oppression,I am waiting, but if you can't find it,please don't mention it again |
Re: Ifa Is The True Religion And Practice Of The Yoruba by Ideadoctor(m): 4:05pm On Jan 17, 2021 |
Abohboy:as I said earlier we have heresy in churches, worshipping of saints and dead people is the heresy of the Catholic church, the Bible never instruct us to worship dead people. I will like to give you an advice, if you want to argue Christianity with me, don't pick weakness from churches, pick weakness from the Bible, I don't follow doctrine of churches, I follow only what the Bible says. Christmas to me is the day the Lord Jesus was born, that is my belief and my faith,any other meaning attached to it is what Christmas is to that person, if you consider it a pagan day,then to you it is a pagan day,and if you consider it the day of birth of Jesus, then it is to you as you believe. 1 Like |

Ideadoctor: It obviously isn’t though, ogun worshippers don’t sacrifice humans I know people who grew up in villages around ogun, Oyo and osun state and one of my uncles is a babalawo, a devotee of ogun and he only sacrifices dogs, he has never once talked about human sacrifice it is British bastardisation. Your looking for oppression in the Bible plenty of examples apostle Paul’s epistle to the Ecclestians he says very clearly “ Servants, be obedient to them that are your masters according to the flesh, with fear and trembling, in singleness of your heart, as unto Christ; not with eye-service, as men-pleasers; but as the servants of Christ, doing the will of God from the heart; with good will doing service, as to the Lord, and not to men: knowing that whatsoever good thing any man doeth, the same shall he receive of the Lord, whether he be bond or free.” 1 Like |

Ideadoctor: For the Christmas thing it has nothing to do with your beliefs these are facts we are arguing with facts not opinions here, Christmas originated as a pagan holiday whether you like it or not. Also Christianity was created in the 1st Century AD a few hundred years after Jesus died, the Bible was reformed by King James and whoever else wanted it to be reformed. The point is the Bible you see is very watered down by multiple generations of people trying to change it to suit their facts just as the church does you cannot trust either. 2 Likes 1 Share |

Abohboy:so where is the oppression from the verse you quoted just now? or is it not ethical or normal for the servant to be obedient to the master? that is not a valid point, give me another one. |
Re: Ifa Is The True Religion And Practice Of The Yoruba by Ideadoctor(m): 4:53pm On Jan 17, 2021 |
Abohboy:there are two ancient Bible manuscript that were discovered lately, and fortunately, it is the exact copy of the one we used today, king James translated the Bible from Latin to English, he did not rewrite, nor did he tamper with the contents. As far as I am concerned Christmas is the day of birth of Jesus, and in as much as my conscience bear me witness to it,then it doesn't matter. |
Re: Ifa Is The True Religion And Practice Of The Yoruba by Abohboy: 4:58pm On Jan 17, 2021 |
Ideadoctor: See that’s the problem with Christianity and Islam it just stops you people from thinking, doing any research thst even shows one inconsistency in the Bible and you suddenly say as far as I’m concerned or I don’t care or I don’t believe you, Christmas is not a Christina holiday it doesn’t even originate from the Bible, and you said I only bear witness to the Bible meaning that it can’t have been created by a man because otherwise that isn’t from the Bible and therefore is false also the Bible was written by multiple different men and the church is controlled by multiple different men so what’s the problem 1 Like |

Ideadoctor: How is it not valid why should someone even be kept as a servant does that not show oppression especially if they were forced into it that is wrong and unjust but of course your justifying it things like slavery shouldn’t be the norm and they weren’t the norm in Western Africa oike in Oyo, ile ife, bini, nri etc. Until the British came and offered poor people arms, money and influence to give them slaves things like slavery and forced labour shouldn’t be normalised ever, |

Re: Ifa Is The True Religion And Practice Of The Yoruba by Abohboy: 5:53pm On Jan 17, 2021 |
Ideadoctor: Why is everything about god blessing you, god bless me with this god bless me with that, and also there is a difference between voluntary labour, if you are rich you would pay the person to clean your house, in the terms of the Bible they took these people against their will like people from minority tribes because they felt they were inferior and they kept these people as slaves Also the top two richest men in the world bill gates and Elon musk are both atheists so not everything is about gods blessings |

Ideadoctor: Ifá practice does not include human sacrifice. There's no tangible evidence or example of this And there are no demons in Yorùbá beliefs. The closest thing to that are Ajogún spirits like death, sickness, poverty Which can even be explained away as abstract personifications. And the point of Ifa is to protect against these ajogún.. So what nonsense are you saying exactly? 3 Likes 1 Share |

Ideadoctor:If you have no knowledge of Yoruba form of veneration,worship and tradition, then ask question.Trust me, you dont have knowledge of Ogùn form of worship. If people make human sarifice, in the name of Ogùn , doesnt mean, it is unto Ogùn. The reality is that ignorance is a great disease,which made yoruba ancestors asserts, 'èrí yéyé lo mọ ogùn aì ṣẹ lo pọ̀.' Yoruba ancestors carefully understand what they believe and how to relate with God precept by precept. So, I beseech you to go once in a while to visit celebration of ogùn ájọbọ́ to understand a form of ogùn veneration. 1 Like 1 Share |

Soulrebel2: On point One thing about ignorance is the blind confidence with which it operates. One will never realize how idiotic some religious dogmas are until you take a balanced look at everything. Brainwashing is a terrible thing, especially when one lives in a brainwashed society. You'll never realize how stupid you are until reasoning kicks in. It's now the duty of every serious individuals to diligently seek spiritual knowledge (not for material gains) and free his soul from this horrible entanglements. For the arguments, it's a total waste of energy. |

Abohboy: I have read all you have written. You want to debate. Does your Ifa permit you to debate? And you haven't started, and boasting. Cool down bro. I can see you are young. Ha ba! You want to display your mighty power and what publicly? Powerful men don't brag like this publicly. But let me use you as sample. Read on! Like what someone wrote above, there is no secret in Jesus, but the secrecy of Ifa and all other gods are too many. Anyway, I am really interested in learning about why you are so confidence that Ifa is the true religion. Bro, please, I am not here to argue or debate. Leave debate aside. I am here for you to teach me. Please, leave aside attacks on christianity and Islam. Please, na beg a dey beg you. If you are sure that Ifa is the true religion, show us here. Teach from the scratch. I will be pulling out questions for you as we go on with the lecture. Oga professor. Let us start with this: I can easily get books and literature manuals on christianity online. Bible is on the internet. Why can't I have resources about Ifa? Please, post here links I can read to start learning deep stuff about ifa. Of course, there are millions of literature about Christ online and on hard paper. Please, show me where I can read and learn about ifa. If there is no secret about ifa, resources about it should be printed out. If ifa is not a cult, people like you should direct us to where we can learn about it. Oga, we will raise fund via GoFundMe for the project of Ifa library. Let us just see evidences that you and your baba and mamas are ready to show us Ifa is the light. No secret bro oooo. Who is ifa? I have questions oooo. But you will do us a big favor by showing us links where we can get this info. How they consult whatever, we must know how. Abohboy:Bro, kindly make this 204,000 pages available na. Na mouth you just use talk am. You want us just take your "skipo" like this? Seeing is believing. Show us, just stop making mouth. I really want to learn. Knowledge and me are 7 & 8. I will follow you bumper to bumper. Abohboy: Broooo! Only in Ifa I can get all the bolded? See, you are trapped. No escape for you oooo. I will tackle you till I get all these from you and your Ifa. Na me and you. You hear me. Oga....start talking ooo. See eh! Me, a no be the kind wey dey listen to your dem say. You get facts...na these facts you will start releasing here. You will oooo....I swear. You will produce evidences. You must. Start by giving us the link of your Ifa Corpus. I have time. I can read 10 million pages. No shaking. I willl digest all and return here to start dragging stuff with you. Oga, OGA...deliver sharply. Otherwise, hold your Peace, and say nothing more. Say nothing more if you cannot release these 204,000 pages cos it is a deep cult. But if you know truly I can learn religion, science, philosophy, medicine, geography, chemistry, biology, pharmacy, anatomy, etc there, you will release it oooo. I swear. I am sure mathematics, logic and reasoning must be there too. Cos these are the tools I will use to analyze what you present. A dey wait. Let's go there our dear ifa priest.
