A billionaire wrote a book on "Making it Big," you say you won't read it because he started life in London.
You hear a piece of advice, you dismiss it by saying, "it can only work in America, not here."
Someone told you they got their job without any connections in Nigeria, you say, that was then, that today, you can't get a job without connections.
Then you see someone, today, in Nigeria, get a job, you say but they finished with a First Class.
Then someone with a 2:1 did it, you say, but they are young.
Then another, you say, but they are a lady. People help ladies.
I hope you do know that there is no prize for the person that can come up with the best excuse?
At some point, you will need to look yourself in the mirror and say, "if it is to be, it is up to me."
The day you do that is your morning.
Good morning in advance ๐
Hey Nathan (@rukky_nate),
I'm not sure what public image you're trying to cultivate here, but I assume you see yourself as an intellectual and a thought leader.
Posts like this undermine that image because what you stated is blatantly ahistorical.
The idea of Lilith being Adam's first wife did not appear until roughly 1,000 years after Christ.
That means it was not in existence during the formation of the New Testament canon.
The story appears in a satirical work called The Alphabet of Ben Sira.
It is an anonymous work, written around the 10th century AD. That's it.
It is a fictional, satirical text. Yet you presented it as historical fact, even claiming that "the Church suppressed that narrative."
You also claimed it was removed from the canon. Which canon?
The story never appeared in the earliest biblical manuscripts.
It never appeared in the Dead Sea Scrolls.
It never appeared in the Septuagint.
It never appeared in the Samaritan Pentateuch.
It never appeared in the Masoretic Text.
It never appeared in the thousands of Hebrew or Greek biblical manuscripts that have been preserved.
It is a 10th-century satire. So where, exactly, did the Church remove it from? And what makes it a "more obvious" version of the creation story?
I'd advise you to be more careful about the information you put out on social media before speaking so confidently about it.

9-to-5 is still the easiest path to financial stability. If you like, keep arguing with people online.
Go to school. Get a good grade. Get a good job. This path is still clear.
