Neo, let me tell you something.
To our ancestors who lived 100 years ago, if you told them people can speak to each other clearly and even see themselves whilst living in two different continents, they'd call it lamba. To us, it is not lamba because we actually lived it.
You call it lamba because you saw an INACCURATE AI video based on someone's imagination of what could possibly have happened.
The story of the red sea crossing โlike almost all biblical storiesโ are hard to believe considering the fact that we don't experience such miracles and direct divine intervention in our daily lives any longer. So something sounding impossible doesnโt make it falseโit may simply be beyond your experience.
However, Hebrews 11:6 says:
โAnd without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to Him must believe that He exists and that He rewards those who earnestly seek Him.โ
This means, we need faith to even believe the Bible to start with, because we are dealing with things that sound esoteric to us. You must have the faith that the bible is true.
Interestingly, no one expects you to simply have faith in the bible just because anybody says so. Christians don't just believe the Bible is a holy book without good reason.
Christians have good independent reasons to believe in the AUTHENTICITY, FACTUALITY and DIVINITY of the Bible. .
There's a reason the Bible is different from every other book including the Qur'an. This is why the Bible debunks such claims as the ones that say it is a man-inspired book for control and other blasphemous utterances. Some of these reasons are:
(1) โ Fulfilled Prophecies (Literally one of the most interesting things to discover about the Bible). No other book has accurately predicted world events up to centuries before their fulfillment whilst being accurate up to the date. Weโre not talking about vague guessesโthere are detailed predictions about nations, kings, and events written centuries before they happened. For e.g:
(a) Fall of Babylonโ Isaiah 44(named before it happened). The prophecy naming Cyrus as the king who would conquer Babylon was written 150-200 years before the event eventually occurred and before Cyrus himself was born. It was stated he would conquer Babylon and free captives.
According to History, Cyrus the Great, did indeed conquer Babylon exactly as described and issued policies that allowed exiles return (including Jews).
(b) Destruction of Tyre in Ezekiel 26. The method of destruction was described. This was fulfilled when Alexander the Great destroyed the city exactly as stated.
(c) Destruction of Jerusalem including the temple, Luke 21. This was fulfilled in 70 AD by the Romans several decades after.
(d) The prophecy about the Messiah, Isaiah 53, written 700 years before Jesus Christ.
(e) There are many more prophecies including the prediction of the endtime behaviour of humans. And don't even get me started on Daniel's Prophecies! Those ones are a nuclear powerhouse by itself.
(2)โ Scientific Accuracy Ahead of Its Time. The Bible reflects accurate knowledge beyond human understanding at the time it was written.
(3)โInternal Harmony and Consistency:
For a book written by 40 different writers of various backgrounds across a 1600 years period to be as internally consistent as to tell a single unified message, only shows Divine inspiration.
(4)โPreservation of the Bible and its survival despite serious campaigns to destroy it, as well as the consistency of its message despite having thousands of manuscripts, simply shows there's a God behind it who wants the book read by humans!
(5)โPractical Wisdom That Works: A book from God should produce good results in real lifeโand it does. The whole essence of the Bible is founded on the principles of -Promoting love, peace, self-control,
-Encouraging strong families and
-Discouraging harmful behaviours.
(6)โHonesty About Human Weakness: The Bible doesnโt hide the flaws of its own heroes: (Kings fail, Prophets struggle and Apostles made mistakes). A human-made religious book would likely glorify its leadersโbut the Bible is honest and balanced.
And
(7)โIt Explains Lifeโs Big Questions: -Why we suffer
-Why humans die
-What happens after death
-What the future holds. Only a divinely-inspired book could do all of these accurately.
On that basis, we can trust and believe the stories in the bible, like the red sea crossing.
Last month, I wrote an essay on rape culture.โจThe backlash was immediate, dismissive and harsh. Today, the internet is in outrage over a โraping festivalโ being defended as culture, as though this is some shocking anomaly. But is it?
Culture is not abstract. It is what we repeatedly permit, excuse, and normalize. And if weโre honest, rape has long moved past the stage of shock in our society. We see it. We scroll past it. Or worse, we interrogate the victim, searching for technicalities that make it easier to digest. That is what normalization looks like.
So the much deeper probe isnโt why a community is bold enough to defend something this violent. The question is: what have we, collectively, been tolerating all along that made that boldness possible?
If thereโs something I am sure of, it is that outrage is easy when it is distant. But it becomes much harder when it requires us to confront ourselves.
Itโs only in Nigeria, where in 2026, you see self acclaimed Homo sapiens defending a tradition of rape and murder.
โOba is dead, we need 7 heads to bury him. Donโt come outโ.
โOro is tonight, nobody is allowed to come out or youโd be killedโ
โToday is rape dayโ
Low IQ imps
Imagine creating a festival to rape women. Full grown men chasing girls in the street.
We live among very stupid and evil people in this country and thatโs why these crook politicians will always have supporters.
I see a lot some of these brain dead ppl in my comment section.
When they say โstop raping womenโ, olori-ebis will rear their heads to start asking โwhat of false accusers?โ. Now thereโs a whole ass festival dedicated to raping women, with videos circulating, youโre quiet because youโre still investigating the videos with forensics abi?
As the queen, Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, put it, โCulture does not make people. People make culture. If it is true that the full humanity of women is not our culture, then we can and must make it our culture.โ
Choosing not to answer personal questions isnโt being secretive, itโs setting a boundary. Privacy doesnโt need to be crossed to be valid and people donโt need to know everything thatโs happening in your life for it to be real, important or respected.
Difference between a refined woman and a Bwala.
Dr. Oby Ezekwesili answered with poise and Grace even though Mehdi tried to bombard her with questions.
You can see the difference?
