Bible Note: Hi, Janae! Excellent point on David's descendency... many bigoted people think that they can use the Old Testament mandates to claim Scriptural separation of race and ethnicity... They reject every passage where Yahweh tells His people that if foreigners come to live among them and they subject themselves to all that is prescribed to the people of Israel they are to be treated as the children of Israel; there is further Scripture that commands that foreigners bought as slaves (who being subject to their masters would adopt all of the religious obligations of their masters) be allowed to partake of all worship as part of their owners household... As you so rightly expressed, Scripture does not teach separation of race/ethnicity but separation of worship! Yahweh is a jealous God and He did not allow His people to share His Glory with others--and God does not change! God Bless! Angel |
