Daddy Freeze and Reno Omokri get into a public disagreement over their interpretation of the Bible

Daddy Freeze and Reno Omokri recently engaged in a public dispute concerning their differing interpretations of the Bible.

However, Freeze disagreed with Reno's viewpoint, expressing his dissent on his Instagram account. He reasoned that since Adam had daughters after Cain already had children, it was implausible for Cain to have married his sister. He further ...
