Alafia to all.
I hope I can get this question right, (ie hope you all understand what I am asking) Obviously I am an Ifa devotee. I love Ifa and am grateful to have be guided to Ifa. Now for my question, as one who was raised in a christian background, also one who was in christain ministry for 28+ years.Yonight i lay in my bed and think, I think of a verse in the book of psalms which states "blessed is the man who walks not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor stands in the way of sinners, nor sits in the seat of the scornful, but his delight is in the law of the Lord and in his law does he meditate day and night..." Now my question is (and you would thik this is something I should know) what law was this person to meditate in, since many of the books of the old testament were not yet written. We know it wasn't proverbs as this was not written as well as others. But also brings me to another part of my question. Who is the God of the jews, why do I ask? because if you read the jewish bible (speaking of the old testament) It was filled with violence. The jews went about destroying ethnic groups as they were commande by their God. We believe in Olodumare, and some have said only one God which is true, but who were the jewish people serving, with the mayhem etc, the destruction of ethnic groups etc. They were not serving Olodumare? need some answers please. Wo was their God, and if this God of theirs is not Olodumare, then the law they would meditate in would be what, false?
