Featured Is God Racist

Am I?

You're the one saying man evolved into skin color when I say it is used to identify race. Of course it is not the only thing, but it is one thing.

The white man will never be a black man and vice versa. Even if he could change his skin color, he would still be of the black or white race.

My point is, that these divisions of man are from God. Not the sun. Not evolution. God.

Well, of course all of mankind come from Adam. But after that, certain divisions would occur among mankind to divide them.

The first of course is Cain. God cursed Cain. (Gen. 4:11). God set a physical mark upon Cain to distinguish him from all others. You will have two distinct families of man upon the earth now. Those of Cain, and those of Seth. Call it the race of Cain and Seth or the family of Cain or Seth, it is still division by God.

Later after the flood, There will be three divisions given in the three sons of Noah. (Gen. 9:25-27) From these would come all the divisions of mankind on earth.

1.) Shem---blessed by God---Canaan is his slave. (9:26)

2.) Ham---received no blessing---his descendants are cursed and are slaves. (9:25)

3.) Japheth---enlarged by God and blessed with Shem and Canaan is his slave also. (9:27)

These prophecies of Noah are still in place and active today. This is not the Church. This is all of mankind.

I am VERY STRONGLY disagreeing with the OP! This sort of stuff should never be said/asked about the God of the Bible. It is a MOOT argument!

 

That reasoning and logic made the South uphold slavery as being biblical!

 

Interesting observation and hypothesis.
"Race" is not the best term. Jews and Palestinians are almost identical in color, but would represent two different groups (let's call them "blessed" and "cursed" from Genesis 9). Likewise there are dark skinned Africans who were historically the "slavers" and others that were the "slaves" ... both "black" but one "blessed" and one "cursed" by your Canaan yardstick.

 

25 And he said, Cursed be Canaan; A servant of servants shall he be unto his brethren.
26 And he said, Blessed be Jehovah, the God of Shem; And let Canaan be his servant.
27 God enlarge Japheth, And let him dwell in the tents of Shem; And let Canaan be his servant. Gen 9


A.W. Pink:
..."The fulfillment of Noah’s prophecy. The wonderful prediction uttered by the builder of the Ark gives in a few brief sentences the history of the new world, and shows the positions that were delegated by God to the three great divisions of the human family. In the closing verses of Genesis 9 we have a remarkable unfolding of the future destinies of the new humanity. The various parts which are to be played in human history by its leading characters are now made known. The subjection of one, the religious preeminence of the second, and the enlarging of the third head of the postdiluvian race, is here revealed.

"Cursed be Canaan; a servant of servants shall he be unto his brethren" (v. 25). Above, we intimated that as no blessing at all was pronounced upon Ham as was the ease with each of his brothers, it would seem that the curse was not intended to be limited to Canaan (there being a particular reason why Canaan should be thus singled out, namely, as an encouragement to the Israelites,) but included all of his children. By tracing the history of Ham’s other sons it becomes evident that the scope of Noah’s prophecy reached beyond Canaan. Nimrod sprang from Ham through Cush (Gen. 10:6-8), and he founded the city and empire Babylon. Mizraim was another of Ham’s children and he was the father of the Egyptians (Gen. 10:6 and Ps. 78:51). For a time Babylon and Egypt waxed great, but subsequently both of them were reduced to subjection, first by the Persians who descended from Shem, and later by the Greeks and Romans who were the children of Japheth. And from these early subjugations they have never recovered themselves. The whole of Africa was peopled by the descendants of Ham, and for many centuries the greater part of that continent lay under the dominion of the Romans, Saracens, and Turks. And, as is well known, the Negroes who were for so long the slaves of Europeans and Americans, also claim Ham as their progenitor.

"Blessed be the Lord God of Shem; and Canaan shall be his servant" (v. 26). Two things are promised here: Jehovah was to be the God of Shem and Canaan was to be his servant. Shem was "the father of all the children of Eber," that is, the Hebrews (Gen. 10:21). Thus, in the Hebrews, the knowledge and worship of God was preserved in the family of Shem. The fulfillment of this part of the prophecy is well known to our readers. God was in a peculiar sense the God of the Hebrews—"And I will dwell among the children of Israel, and will be their God" (Ex. 29:45). And again, "You only have I known of all the families of the earth" (Amos 3:2).

"And Canaan shall be his (Shem’s) servant." This received its first fulfillment in the days of Joshua—"And Joshua made them (the Gibeonites) hewers of wood and drawers of water for the congregation" (Joshua 9:27). The following scriptures set forth its further accomplishment: "And it came to pass, when Israel was strong, that they put the Canaanites to tribute" (Judges 1:28). "And all the people that were left of the Amorites, Hittites, Perizzites, Hivites, and Jebusites, which were not of the children of Israel, their children that were left after them in the land, whom the children of Israel also were not able utterly to destroy, upon those did Solomon levy a tribute of bond service unto this day" (1 Kings 9:20, 21).

"God shall enlarge Japheth, and he shall dwell in the tents of Shem" (v. 27). Two things were also predicted of Japheth: first, he should be enlarged; second, he should dwell in the tents of Shem or, in other words, should receive blessing from Shem. The accomplishment of this prediction is witnessed to by history both sacred and secular. Those nations which have been most enlarged by God have descended from Japheth. The Greeks and the Romans who in their time dominated practically all of the then known world; and more recently the European Powers who have entered into the rich possessions of Asia (inhabited by the children of Shem); and, today, the Anglo-Saxon race, which occupies more territory than any other people, are all the descendants of Noah’s firstborn! In Genesis 10, where a list of Japheth’s sons is found, we read, "By these were the isles of the Gentiles divided in their lands."

"And he shall dwell in the tents of Shem" intimates that Japheth was to be Shem’s guest, that he should share the rest and shelter of Shem’s tabernacles. How remarkably has this prophecy been fulfilled spiritually! "The revelation which we prize is that of the God of Israel; the Savior in whom we trust is the seed of Abraham; the Old Testament was written principally for Israel; and the New Testament though written in a Japhetic tongue, and, therefore for us, was penned by Jewish fingers" (Urquhart). To this may be added the words of our Lord, "Salvation is of the Jews" (John 4:22); and that remarkable statement of the Apostle Paul’s in Romans 11 where, writing of the Gentiles, he says, "And thou, being a wild olive tree, wert grafted in among them (Israel), and with them partakest of the root and fatness of the olive tree" (v. 17). Thus do we see Japheth "dwelling in the tents of Shem."

Who but He who knows the end from the beginning could have outlined the whole course of the three great divisions of the postdiluvian race so tersely and so accurately!..."

 

5 And he said, Cursed be Canaan; A servant of servants shall he be unto his brethren.
26 And he said, Blessed be Jehovah, the God of Shem; And let Canaan be his servant.
27 God enlarge Japheth, And let him dwell in the tents of Shem; And let Canaan be his servant. Gen 9

A.W. Pink, again:

...."In the curse passed upon Canaan we find an exceedingly solemn instance of the sins of the fathers being visited upon the children. In this day of human pride and skepticism, when everything is questioned and challenged, men have dared to criticize the ethics of this hereditary law. It has been termed unmerciful and unjust. The humble believer does not attempt to pry into things which are too deep for him, it is enough for him that the thrice holy God has instituted this law and therefore he knows it is a righteous one whether he can see the justice of it or no.

Ham’s sin consisted of an utter failure to honor his father. He was lacking, altogether, in filial love. Had he really cared for his father at all he would have acted as his brothers did; but instead, he manifested a total disrespect for and subjection unto his parent. And mark the fearful consequence: he reaped exactly as he had sown—Ham sinned as a son and was punished in his son! The punishment meted out to Ham was that his son shall be brought into subjection to others, his descendants shall be compelled to honor, yea, "serve" others—"servant of servants" (v. 25) implies the lowest drudgery, slavery.

It is to be noted that the "curse" uttered by Noah did not fall directly on Ham but upon one of his sons, the fourth—"Canaan " (Gen. 10:6). As we shall seek to show, this curse was not confined to Canaan but embraced all the descendants of Ham. It is highly probable that "Canaan" was specifically singled out from the rest of his brethren as a special encouragement to the Israelites who, centuries later, were to go up and occupy the Promised land. Moses would thus be taught by the Holy Spirit that a special curse rested upon the then occupants of the land, i.e., the Canaanites. Yet, as we have said, all of Ham’s children appear to have been included within the scope of this malediction as is evident from the fact that no blessing at all was pronounced upon Ham as was the case with each of his brothers." ....

 

34 At the end of the days I, Nebuchadnezzar, lifted my eyes to heaven, and my reason returned to me, and I blessed the Most High, and Praised and Honored Him Who lives forever,

for His Dominion is an everlasting Dominion,
and Kis Kingdom endures from generation to generation;
35 all the inhabitants of the earth are accounted as nothing,
and He does according to His will among the host of heaven
and among the inhabitants of the earth;
and none can stay His hand
or say to him, “What have you done?”

- Daniel 4

 

I see. Only your point of view should be entertained.

Quantrill

 

Actually, you have it backwards. The Bible supported the South. So, show me where it didn't.

Quantrill

 

Oh Gee. That sounds so 'scientific'. You must be so 'smart'.

God says nothing about a 'gene code'. God says He created Eve from Adams rib.

God says nothing about a black skin pigmentation as a dominant gene. I guess He is too simple to understand science's observations.

Why are the palms of the hands of the black man white? Why are the bottom of the feet of the black man, white?

Quantrill

 

What a silly post.

It is not my yardstick. It is the testimony of Scripture.

You can whine and dine over certain shades of color to satisfy your belief that race makes no difference. But God has said race makes a difference because He says so.

My point is that God has made divisions among mankind to 'divide'. Race is one of those divisions, and a strong division. And man is a fool to ignore it.

And most of those 'fools' are idiotic white people who believe that all other races than theirs is superior.

Do we have black history month in the U.S.? Do we have Hispanic history month in the U.S.? Of course we do. My how we love those cursed races of God. But do we have white history month? God forbid! That is nothing but evil and 'racist'!

Quantrill

 

Indeed, why would God say that? He wouldn't. Why would God do that? He didn't.

Yes, I always hated lies. Keep telling yourself that if it makes you feel better.

There is nothing to indicate Adam and Eve were black. Nothing other than your imagination and 'your science'.

Africa is descendants of Ham. They received no blessing and their descendants were cursed. Does that bother you that those beautiful blacks are part of that cursed race? But, just look at Africa today. What a beautiful cesspool.

Why are all those beautiful blacks trying to immigrate to those countries of white origin? Cause their so 'beautiful'? No. Cause they cant create a country that works. They can't create anything that works. They riot, rape, destroy and murder well. Does that bother you?

Shem received the blessing from God. From him would come the Jews and Arabs.. Japheth, the whites, would be enlarged, as he has over the world. And he would partake of those blessing of Shem, as he has.

Quantrill

 

Just because there are believers in all nations and races of men doesn't remove God's dealings with mankind as given in (Gen. 9:25-27).

Again, don't confuse the two.
