PastorAIO: They are generic titles. Who was the “previous president”? Or you want to delve into yoruba mythology? |

PastorAIO: If you're tribalistic surely you will not feel comfortable knowing that the god your ancestors worshiped is a demon. But the Yorùbás have what is called "ORÍKÌ" through which each person knows his or her origin. Just meditate thoroughly on the ORÍKÌ of Èṣù i'm sure you will know why Àjàyí Crowder used that name for the spirit referred to as Satan the devil in the Bible! |

MaxInDHouse: Please, which verse in Ifa or any divination lore said that? "Látìkọ̀lé Ọ̀run wá síkọ̀lé ayé", is a common phrase in Ifa text. It is used to refer to the origins of absolutely everything. We will hear of when Scissors left from heaven to earth. We hear of when money left from heaven to earth. we hear of when telephone left from heaven to earth. What is referred to is the process of creation. Every created thing is brought from heaven to earth. Orun in this case reads more like potentiality. Everything makes the journey from potentiality to actuality. That's how some people interpret it to English. 2 Likes |

PastorAIO: If you will like the Bible because that's the book that's revealing all the secrets that fallen angels have hidden from people for long! |

Maynman: The previous president was Goodluck Jonathan. The current one is Buhari. The question was for those that claim olorun is only a title. who was the previous holder of the title? |
Re: What Is Olorun? by Maynman: 10:12am On Aug 28, 2022 |
PastorAIO: I said “previous president” not “previous president of Nigeria”. Who was the previous holder of “president”?, then we look for previous holder of “ruler of the sky.” |

MaxInDHouse: I'm not tribalistic so I'll be alright, thanks. Please furnish us with the Oriki of Esu and. then. explain the. parallels with Satan. The spirit referred to. as satan in the bible is also referred to as Yhwh. 1 Like |

PastorAIO: At least you agree with the common phrase so use the Bible to get the clear picture: And the angels who did not keep their original position but forsook their own proper dwelling place, he has reserved with eternal bonds in dense darkness for the judgment of the great day. Jude 1:6 Man is the only intelligent being created to live on this planet {Genesis 1:26-28} all other intelligent beings are aliens! |

PastorAIO:“ruler of sky” of where? |
Re: What Is Olorun? by MaxInDHouse(m): 10:22am On Aug 28, 2022 |
PastorAIO: The first sentence i'll translate in English: "Èṣù, do not devastate my life please do that to someone else" There's no other deity in Yorùbá mythology that's revered as evil one except Èṣù, all other gods have one thing or the other they can be contacted for benefits but this particular deity is only called upon for mischief. PastorAIO: Can you back the highlighted with the Bible? |
Re: What Is Olorun? by PastorAIO: 10:31am On Aug 28, 2022 |
MaxInDHouse: Odu Ogbe Ofun: Ogbe f'ohun fun olohun N o f'ohun fun olohun. Babalawo oba lo difa fun Oba Oba ntorun bo wale aye. translation- Ogbe give the thing back to the owner of the thing I will not give the thing back to the owner of the thing The babalawo of kingship divined for kingship Kingship was coming from heaven down to earth. Abeg which angel that did not keep it's place in heaven is called Kingship. What is obvious is that you do not understand the rhetorical device that is used in Ifa to explain the emergence of a phenomena. It is also obvious that you do not understand the bible that much either. Man is not the only intelligent being on this planet. Elephants have a very high level of intelligence and so dolphins. Even more intelligent than some humans. 3 Likes |

PastorAIO: The Author of the Bible only focus on a nation (Israel) but when it comes to how all other nations get their deities this Author gave us clues if we want to know the truth {John 8:32} note how this God journeyed all the way to Egypt to free His people without a military force? But any nation can also fabricate such a story so i focus on realities that's common everywhere to compare to what this Author is saying. The God of Israel demanded that His worshipers should present two live goats before Him, one is to be sacrificed to Him on the spot but the other to be escorted outside the land where the former deities occupying that domain has been driven after their worshipers has been exterminated! Leviticus 16:7-10 From this recorded event i learned that the God of Israel knows that despite He being the Creator those demons have the right to that domain as long as their worshipers are loyal to them. That's why He warned His own worshipers never to invite those demons back because they will be roaming around since they've been misplaced from their domain! Deuteronomy 18:9-13 |

MaxInDHouse: 2Samuel 24:1 1Again the anger of the YHWH was kindled against Israel, and he incited David against them, saying, “Go, number Israel and Judah.” 2So the king said to Joab, the commander of the army,a who was with him, “Go through all the tribes of Israel, from Dan to Beersheba, and number the people, that I may know the number of the people.” 1Chronicles. 21:1 1Then Satan rose up against Israel and incited David to take a census of Israel. 2So David said to Joab and the commanders of the troops, “Go and count the Israelites from Beersheba to Dan and bring me a report, so that I may know their number.” 2 Likes |

Satan is a title not a person how it became a figure we have to ask early Chrestians Even the Israelite god, yahweh stood as a Satan to baalaam.

PastorAIO: Can you point to just one advancement in the way these creatures live their lives because man has achieved a lot just as the Bible God claimed when He said: “Let us make man in our image, according to our likeness, and let them have in subjection the fish of the sea and the flying creatures of the heavens and the domestic animals and all the earth and every creeping animal that is moving on the earth" Genesis 1:26 Only man is intelligent to the point of driving away any creature if the location is suitable for living, and man has developed technology that no other creature could do 0.000001% This is the indisputable proof of what the Bible God claimed: He created man to become like Himself ~ Creators/inventors of new things! |

PastorAIO: I love this! Note that the God of Israel has told His people that they will not be numbered: "I will certainly deal well with you, and I will make your offspring like the grains of sand of the sea, which are too numerous to count.’” Genesis 32:12 So lesson learned: Satan took permission from God before tempting King David just as Satan took permission to tempt Job {Job 1:7-12} for Jehovah to grant it {Job 1:10} then Satan could act as if it's Jehovah who spoke to David! In reality Satan was granted the chance to tempt David due to David's blunders! 2Samuel 11:1-27 |

MaxInDHouse: So there is no mention of Yoruba deities in the bible as they only focus on Israel ba? You lied when you said the 'fallen angels' in the bible refer to Yoruba deities. then this your God that journeys from somewhere all the way to Egypt to free his people, does that mean he has his domain too, and he traveled from there to Egypt. So he too is like the fallen angles that you described who have carved out domains for themselves.
He even receives sacrifice just like any other lesser deity. He even sends a share of the goats received to his fellow demons in the wilderness. Even those those demon's worshippers had been exterminated in a heinous act of genocide instigated by himself by his followers. See the devilishness of the character?
You're talking about of both sides of your mouth now. Those demons received their goat because they have a right to their domain as long as worshippers are loyal. However you said the worshippers were exterminated so why is yhwh still sharing goats with them? 2 Likes |

The planet is being destroyed due to the activities of some humans. There are humans though who engage in these so called advances, like many of the tribes in the amazon forest. They even walk around naked which exposes the lie in your bible that they were ashamed of unclothedness and yhwh clothed them. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UBbFnU5ITuM https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C5RiHTSXK2A 1 Like |

MaxInDHouse: You are just lying outright now and making things up. Numbers 1: 19 18and on the first day of the second month they assembled the whole congregation and recorded their ancestry by clans and families, counting one by one the names of those twenty years of age or older, 19 just as the LORD had commanded Moses. So Moses numbered them in the Wilderness of Sinai: So God told Moses to number Israel and he did. Where does the bible say that Satan took permission from God to tempt David.? It says Yhwh tempted David and that Yhwh was synonymous with Satan. That Yhwh IS Satan. Satan tempted David. 2 Likes |

MaxInDHouse: Talk about devastation, no mythology or religion has a deity that likes to devastate as much as the filthy demon called Yhwh. Isaiah 24 1Behold, the LORD will empty the eartha and make it desolate, and he will twist its surface and scatter its inhabitants. 2And it shall be, as with the people, so with the priest; as with the slave, so with his master; as with the maid, so with her mistress; as with the buyer, so with the seller; as with the lender, so with the borrower; as with the creditor, so with the debtor. 3The earth shall be utterly empty and utterly plundered; for the LORD has spoken this word. 2 Likes |

PastorAIO:The one and only God who came from nowhere and singlehandedly delivered people from slavery is the true God! He even receives sacrifice just like any other lesser deity. He even sends a share of the goats received to his fellow demons in the wilderness. Even those those demon's worshippers had been exterminated in a heinous act of genocide instigated by himself by his followers. See the devilishness of the character?He has sent a warning message but those demons deceived their worshipers to death! You're talking about of both sides of your mouth now. Those demons received their goat because they have a right to their domain as long as worshippers are loyal. However you said the worshippers were exterminated so why is yhwh still sharing goats with them?That's to teach His worshipers that those demons are still hanging around, any rebellious act against the true God will attract condemnation and the demons will return ! |
