1. I gave you my own proof as to why I believed Eve was the first female. So please give me your own proof why you believe the first woman is an African woman and not Eve.

2. God acts like a father figure hence, people refer to him as father(male). Now ask yourself, in the bible time, what pronouns could be ascribed to a genderless entity?

3. In the bible, there's no express statement that accounts for the gender to refer to God as. If referring to him as female is what rocks your boat, it is not a blasphemy.

African people are the first people on earth! We did not come from any Adam & Eve. Every other race comes from black.

"They" or "them" are used for gender less entities.

God is referred to as a male in the Bible, as I said before it is because the Bible is a product of a male mind. As for the Quran? Even worse.

Ephesians 5:21- submit to one another. Don't quote only the parts that favour you.

This is a proof that you don't know the bible.

1. You didn't even complete the verse.

2. Paul was writing to the church at Ephesus. Submission in the context of a christian relationship(christian brothers and sisters) includes the idea of putting someone else, and their needs, above ourselves.

3. We are talking about submission between married couples and Paul expressly stated that wives should submit to their husbands in Ephesians 5:22-24

I don't need words you pulled out of your anus. I need facts that has stood the test of time just like the bible I quoted.
If you don't have a concrete proof to backup your claim, I dismiss your claim and mine continues to stand.

When you were in primary school(which is more recent than bible time), did your teacher teach you anything about pronouns for genderless entities?
This is why people in the bible didn't have a pronoun for God. "They" and "Them" were reserved as plural pronouns.

The last paragraph, you can believe whatever about that. No one really knows.

Please think am. If you went to school, you should be familiar with the terms dominant and recessive. Black people have dominant traits and it's impossible for us to come out from any other race.


In school, you sang : "father Abraham had many sons and I'm one of them"

And they really made you believe an african man like yourself can come from a middle Eastern man.

■ Eve wasn't cloned. Paper is made from a tree. Does that mean papers are cloned trees?
God's curse was never meant to bring peace and joy to men and women in marriage. It was rather meant to deny them of all that is good. undecided

2. According to God, Eve was made of the same essence that was Adam. And Eve was the only woman ever cloned from Adam. No other woman shares the same essence with her husband. undecided

Well, refering to God as a she is actually a blasphemy(that could be idolatry), because there is no place in the bible where God is referred to as a she.
Even Christ when He came to earth to save us from our sins came as a man. The Holy Spirit is referred to as a He not a She or It(This shows how wrong that shack movie was).

This is wrong

Nowhere in the bible is it said that it is blasphemy to refer to God as a she, God is an entity, that's why it is said that he can appear in any form to humans, and God is commonly called a he because he came to earth in form of a man, he could have come in form of a woman if God chooses to. The holy spirit is not referred to as a he, the holy spirit is simply called the holy spirit.

God created man in His own image, in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them.
— Genesis 1:27

For a man ought not to have his head covered, since he is the image and glory of God; but the woman is the glory of man.
— 1 Corinthians 11:7

With it we bless our Lord and Father, and with it we curse men, who have been made in the likeness of God;
— James 3:9



The holy spirit is not referred to as a he, the holy spirit is simply called the holy spirit.

But when He, the Spirit of truth, comes, He will guide you into all the truth; for He will not speak on His own initiative, but whatever He hears, He will speak; and He will disclose to you what is to come. He will glorify Me, for He will take of Mine and will disclose it to you.
— John 16:13-14


There is no where in the bible that states we should refer to God as a woman, Let the bible speak to you the nature and character of God and abide by what He reveals to you in His word, anything outside that can lead you to saying something blasphemous.
Even the love he bestows on us is seen in the bible as A Father to his children(God in relation to His Chosen People) or Husband to a wife(Jesus to the Church).

You do know that "man" in the bible is referred to as male and female right? Your bible references doesn't explicitly say it is blasphemy to call God a woman, blasphemy is not mentioned anywhere.

A submissive woman to me is one who understands and acknowledges hierarchy and structure. One who agrees with the concept of her husband being the head of the family.

It doesn’t mean she doesn’t have her ideas or she sheepishly follows her husband, it means whenever there is a conflict of ideas her husband has the final say even if she doesn’t entirely agrees with him.

A good example of submissiveness is the relationship between the Appeal court and the Supreme Court. You don’t see Appeal court judges pouting when the Supreme Court overturns their decision. That’s Acknowledgement of hierarchy.

No institution can survive without a clearly defined structure and hierarchy, if you don’t want to be a submissive woman, marry a submissive husband. Even in partnerships, there’s always a managing partner who’s the head.

Yep and that's because woman came from man and not man from woman in other words, woman created for the man and not man for woman and that's why there is a distinction where applicable between the two sexes like in Genesis 1:27 and 1 Corinthians 11:7 to show the difference in how they image God(not equally) I posted above.



Your bible references doesn't explicitly say it is blasphemy to call God a woman, blasphemy is not mentioned anywhere.

Ok, you can choose to call God what ever He has not revealed himself to be called but just know it's definitely not the God of the Bible but your own god from your imagination(idolatry) except if you can prove from the Holy scripture that God reveals himself as a woman.

Now, over to the men, what's your definition of submissive?
Is it that when you say A, she must obey and not say B?
Or she shouldn't even give her opinion at all?
Or her choices and prefrences don't matter at all just because you want something?

A submissive woman is respectful to her husband, protects her husband, advice her husband, prays and wish her husband well, listens to her husband even when she differs in opinion; she finds the best time and approach to communicate her opinion to him and trust me, he will agree with her respectfully too but if he insists, just follow through with caution.

In fact respect is the key word. He is the captain and she is the assistant captain in the home.

It's quite simple. The man charts the family vision as CEO and the wife as COO implements. The implementation allows initiative - tactics to get the job done. She can express herself. They meet bi monthly to see progress on pre set milestones. Anyone who agrees with this set up is submissive.

Each gives the other everything that will make them successful in their roles.

If a woman marries a man without vision or a man marries a non Prov 31 woman that's a seperate matter. We should not use idiosyncratic behaviour to set models because the exception becomes the norm.
