Bible Question: where do blacks come from? |
Bible Answer: I would like to be clear that in NO way do I think one color of people is better than another, that's why I ended my previous post with Galatians 3. What I do feel is of importance when witnessing, is that my Black brothers and sisters need to know that they are not an afterthought in the mind of God! Satan has used racism, especially in America, to portray Christianity as a white man's religion. I've had many people tell me that. So many of our brothers and sisters have been tricked into other religions, especially the Nation of Islam, with this lie. Also, we see pictures based on scenes in the Bible, that are based on the drawings of Michealangelo. Which, there is nothing wrong, because that is one man's rendering and I wouldn't expect anything else. If I was a artist I might be tempted to draw everybody Black, because that's what I am. Therefore, I can see why Michealangelo drew everybody as Italians. Yet, our young brothers and sisters, especially in the inner city, see these faces and don't see themselves as part of God's plan. They see movies and tv shows based horribly on the Bible and see no actors of color, and if there are they are the Egyptian slaves. So they flock to false teachers, with black militant or feel good positive thinking messages. Yes race is not important, that's why God didn't discuss it. It's not essential to salvation. In fact the classification of seperating people, by color(race) is less than a 1000 yrs old. But to ignore, trivialize, or spiritualize the answer, when dealing with an unbeliever is a missed opportunity. |
