Bible Question:
A friend says she believes in spirits, but she does not believe in the Holy Spitit, because she feels the Bible is "bunk". Her main reason is that no way, in her mind can people of different skin colors come from the same set of parents, a la Adam and Eve. "Nor does" in her words does the Bible ever try to explain this. Please help me send the right message to this angry young lady, I promised I would try to find the answer. I Thank you, and so will "Nicole" Faithfully, Tim |
Bible Answer: Before you answer your friend, ask her if she would consider becoming a Christian if you can give here a legitimate answer to her question. This will determine if she is a true seeker (as Thomas in Joh 20:24-28) or just trying to shut you down (as the Pharisees in Mat 21:23-27). We are only obligated to answer true seekers and are never obligated to give satan a stage to promote his lies. Anyway, you friend has surely went out on a limb by herself here, as she would have trouble even getting an evolutionist to go along with her notion that all races do not have a common origin. Actually there is only one race (the human race) but there are different groups within this one race. All groups are from one blood (Act 17:26) and all groups are actually the same color, or rather contain the same colors. We are not one color only, but many colors. The difference appearances of different groups of people is that some just have more of a particular skin pigmentation color than others. Check out http://www.christiananswers.net/q-aig/race-definition.html, as it will explain it much better than I. If the race question is truly what is holding your friend back from believing in the Bible and in Jesus, congratulations!, for I am sure you are going to lead her to the Lord, as this is not really that big of an obstacle. retxar |
