1 | Is inter-racial marriage wrong? | Bible general Archive 1 | NESI | 15536 | ||
There's a verse that says We are all to stay with our own. (not quoted) Does this mean interracial marraige? I thought about it and other than animals we've domesticated all the other ones stay with their own. Such as Robins and Blue Jays. What would be the difference in us? God made us different for some reason. Think maybe we should keep it different. I'm definitely not prejudice, just simply curious. Nesi |

You are thinking that all humans are different. All humans are related All humans are related All humans are related. Using predominantly the King James version of the Bible, I will prove that the Bible states that all humans are related. Moses wrote the first five books of the Old Testament. Moses writes in the first book, Genesis, that God created Adam and, from Adam, Eve. Adam and Eve were the first two humans. All humans are descended from them. God, after some time, warned Noah of the coming flood. God would use the flood to destroy all of mankind, except for Noah and his family. All humans are descended from Noah. The sons of Noah decided to build a city. In that city was the tower of Babel. God made the people speak different languages and scattered the humans over the world. "Therefore the name of it called Babel; because the Lord did there confound the language of all the earth: and from thence did the Lord scatter them abroad upon the face of all the earth." (Genesis 11:9) The King James Version, of the Bible, contains text not commonly used, today. "In the mid-1400s, the Bible became one of the first books in Europe to be printed, from movable type"(The World Book encyclopedia, 1986). There are many paragraphs whose meaning is somewhat clouded "And when the people heard these evil tidings they mourned: and no man did put on him his ornaments." (Exodus 33:4) this paragraph also contains clouded language "And he overlaid it with pure gold, both the top of it and the sides thereof round about, and the horns of it: also he made unto it a crown of gold round about. (Exodus 37:2) The whole idea of race needs to me abolished. Race does not accurately describe humans. I am just working on an, unfinished, rough draft. soulman |

Another point too, is that using archealogy and history, one can realize that (Noah's sons) Shem is the father of the olive or brown skinned people, Japheth is the father of the white or light skinned people, and Ham is the father of the dark or black skinned people. And there are many colors in between because of inter-racial marriages in the past, and the many faceted gene pool. We're all cousins, a few times removed! |

According to "The New Compact Bible Dictionary," Ham "became the progenitor of the dark races; not the Negroes, but the Egyptians, Ethiopians, Libyans and Canaanites (Gen. 10:6-20)." "The descendants of the original Ham (Pss. 78:51; 105:23; 106:22). In these passages 'Ham' is used as another name for Egypt as representing Ham's principal descendants" (The New Compact Bible Dictionary, Edited by T. Alton Bryant, 1967, Zondervan). |

Thank you for sharing that information. Personally I've only met a few Ethiopians and they were black skinned. Since the writers of the bible dictionary exclude the Negroes as Ham's descendants, I wonder which of Noah's sons they think the other black people of Africa and Melanasia descended from? It would seem there are only three "biblical" choices. |

"A curse of slavery was placed only on Ham's son, Canaan — whose descendants later occupied Phoenicia and Palestine. They were Caucasians." This article first appeared in the Spring 1991 issue of the Christian Research Journal. (www.equip.org/search/) |

I went to the article, but it doesn't give any more information than exactly what you stated. This brings up some interesting questions though. Unless I'm mistaken the Canaanites/Phoenicians had a Semitic language. I have "read" that the Semitic languages were given to the descendants of Shem at the tower of Babel. I'll have to see what else I can find on this subject. Thanks for the "motivation". :) | ||||||
