    So then there were some "black" in the white "woodpile" and "white" in the black "woodpile". I heard a few years back, of some african-americans who were "Jeffersons" who claimed to be descendents from Thomas Jefferson and one of his slaves. They were proven correct, but they were black in skin color, though.

    Did I not say IF THERE WAS NO INTERRACIAL ANCESTRY for a given couple both of a given race?

    Many American blacks have some white ancestry, as the "massa" often felt he had free use of his slaves, including XXX. And white teenage boys of slave owners were often "initiated" with a black lady. Not to mention outright rape. These were among the many sins committed against blacks in America 150 years ago, and before.

    Only recently has there been much interracial relationships in Japan, and it was very rare for a Japanese child in the past to not resemble all others in skin & eye color, and other characteristics of face and hair. Same with Bushmen.

    God said, "after their own kind". Now, if there's been NO interracial ancestry of a given couple of the same race, they're gonna reproduce after their own kind, simple as that.

    Skin color is not determined by one gene, it is determined by many (this is called polygenic inheritance), therefore there are many factors that have a role in the skin color of a person besides the skin colors of their parents. Height and weight are also polygenic which is why short parents can have tall children and so forth.

    Sorry, Convicted1, but that's cuz the white gene became recessive, especially if "the Jeffersons" had no further white ancestry. However, 'tis possible they could have a light-skinned child on down the road, even if they wed other blacks exclusively. They might score a white or almost-white kid if one weds another black with some white ancestry.

    I've known the head of the ICU where my wife was in 2000 after that bus accident; her family has a history of interracial marriages for at least four generations, although her parents were dark-skinned blacks with all the other features of most American blacks. She is rather ashen-complected, with straight hair and thin lips. Her hubby is an ordinary black men; her children are light-brown with wavy hair.

    But one thing is certain...they're all of the HUMAN race. GOD has NO prohibition against racial mixing, except He commanded Israel to marry within itself, after they'd brought enough of other peoples within their nation to ensure a mixed gene pool, in the days before Moses. (remember, the tribes of Ephraim and Manasseh had an Egyptian "founding mother".)

    So, Sportzz fanzz, the choice is either to believe Dr. Ach...or GOD.

    So you're saying God created all the different races apart from Adam and Eve? Were they created as infants or adults? Were they created with a sin nature or did they fall? How do you ignore Genesis 3:20?

    At what point chronologically was the prohibition made? If memory serves, many generations after Adam, Cain, and Noah.

    Interesting - than did Abram and Sara commit half-incest?

    Cain's wife was clearly the daughter of his mother-in-law.

    Cain got his wife from his sister- it's as simple as that.

    Incest is not the greatest taboo in the world- that statement is bogus.

    God did not condemn incest before Moses so there is absolutely no reason to think that Cain would have thought it wrong to marry his sister.

    Cain did not care much about the law of God at some point in his life since he WAS A MURDERER.

    Even if it was taboo in Cain's day (which there is no reason to think it was) Cain might not have cared what was and wasn't taboo.

    No two people ever shared closer genes than Adam and Eve (Eve was LITERALLY taken out of Adam's body) and God COMMANDED them to mate. So the idea that God condemned sibling intermarrying in Cain's day continues to crumble.

    You are way too dogmatic against pre-Mosaic law incest without sufficient support for such dogmatism.

    And I could go on and on.

    But if he married his sister, his mother-in-law would be his mother! :thumbs:

    But had God made a commandment against murder before Cain killed his brother?
    The first reference of a murderer in the Bible was more than 2000 years after creation and is found Numbers 35:16.

    The KJV says of Moses " he slew the Egyptian," not murdered. ( and for non-KJO folks :smilewinkgrin: several other versions do not use the term murder!)
    This link gives the versions and a Matthew Henry commentary

    And it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born unto them, That the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they [were] fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose. Gen 6:1,2

    Was Cain a son of God and was his wife a daughter of men?

    What man was she a daughter of?

    Great. But he was already on his way to hell prior to his question.

    So, you're saying you were irresistibly drawn to make that post? That you had no other choice than to make that post? That God, from before the foundation of the world, decreed you would make that post? Is that what you're really saying? :D
