3 Bible Theories That Make No Sense

A Facebook friend brought up the topic of how some Bible theories make no sense at all.  I am of the opinion that YHVH did not create various races, He just created varieties.  Else, He would have given Adam two brothers.

I have no Biblical proof of my theory, but some people sure do try to twist the Scriptures to justify their beliefs.  I don’t care what color the people in the Bible were — has no bearing on our lives in Him whatsoever. Whether they were black, white or somewhere in between is utterly irrelevant. But the people who do care sure come up with some crazy stories!

1. The “Mark of Cain” was that his skin was made black.

A white man was telling a black man that Cain’s mark was to be made black. The black man, in a mock accent, said, “Ah guess we sho’ is good at treadin’ water!”

Noah was descended from Seth (Genesis 5), so obviously  Cain’s line was wiped out in the flood. I’m thinking somebody didn’t check his Bible before coming up with that wild idea.

Um …

2. Ham married a black woman, it showed how wicked he was to mongrelize the races.

Oh, really?  And where do you find that in the Bible?  Has it escaped your notice that skin color isn’t mentioned at all until the Song of Songs?

OK, just for argument’s sake, let’s pretend she did have dark skin. Are you trying to tell me that Noah didn’t notice that his son’s wife was black? He was a righteous man — if interracial marriage was a sin then he wouldn’t have put up with that!

And why on earth would YHVH go out of His way to preserve a sinful union when He was destroying the whole world because of sin? Wouldn’t that defeat the purpose entirely? So if she was black, then evidently YHVH had no problem with that. If she wasn’t black — if no one on the ark was black, then black people didn’t come from that.

Um……

and this one is the best…

3. The white people are all descended from the Nephilim, demonic giants.

Giants?! Then why are white people, on average, shorter than black people? What on earth happened to us?

Being white is recessive. So then, even if we white, “demonic giants” bred with “real humans” who are black, wouldn’t our nephilim mongrel offspring simply have ended up as lighter-skinned blacks … but still taller than people who are black?

Why on earth am I only 5’3″?

I have been robbed of my tall white heritage somehow, and I demand answers!

Who am I? Grafted in. by Elizabeth Rosenquist.

I am not a Jew. I was not born a Jew. I am not trying to be a Jew. I will never be a Jew. Jewish traditions hold no allure for me whatsoever.
Who am I?

I was born of the Nations. I was called out from the Nations, by the Creator who designed me to be from the Nations, to speak one of the languages of the Nations, so I could be among the Nations.

What I am is grafted into the olive tree (Romans 11) and thus I become Israel. I am not grafted into the Jews. I am called to obey the instructions/teachings of the people of Israel, the Torah! NOT the laws of the Jews (Talmud), or walk in the ways of the Nations (humanism), or the laws of the church (denominational doctrines and traditions).

I’m not trying to be a Jew

I am not trying to be a Jew. I am not trying to be a Gentile. I am trying to be an Israelite. Because I come from the Nations, I will never look Jewish, although to the untrained eye, it will appear so, because I will do some of the things that they do, the way they do it perhaps, but other things I will do in a way that looks utterly foreign to them. And that’s okay!

I look this way because I am a person who was called out of the Nations, by my Master, Yeshua the Messiah of Israel, to be a part of His people, Israel, obeying His Torah (teachings), and waiting for His return.

I am doing my best, and it’s going to look weird to most people, but that’s where patience and grace come into the picture. I have to obey the Torah of YHVH, but the way I obey it doesn’t have to look exactly the same as the way others (or you) obey it.

Torah is a pursuit and a journey of a child with it’s Father. As each child is individually unique, so will our walk with the Father be unique. Same rules for all the children, but at different points along the walk, we will be better and worse than others at figuring out how to live in obedience. And it’s okay.

Most weren’t raised as Torah observers. It’s a struggle. A learning process. We will fail many times. Start expecting failure and realize that after 3500 years, we are all doing it wrong, but love spurs us on to try anyway — and faith tells us that YHVH greatly rejoices in our pursuit of obedience.

Shalom

Comments from Truth-Tradition

This is a great description of the walk, learning process and understanding of what the truth in scripture is calling each of us to.  We have to walk out our own path and accept or reject other’s input and opinions as we compare them to the scriptures.  Understanding some basics will lead you on a path to a deeper learning of scripture.  However it has to start at ONE PARTICUALR point in your life… Truly wanting TRUTH beyond anything that you have ever learned before.  Having an open heart for the Father to lead.

When you open your heart and allow the Father to teach you, He will bring in others that will lead you with the scriptures.  They should disciple you slowly, patiently and using the scriptures to show the facts we call “Truth.”  When this starts, you will notice that the right leader will not only show you these hidden treasures, but will live them.  They won’t have two lives, a public one and a private one.  Please be encouraged to open your hearts and find the proper leader to disciple you.

If anyone needs some advice, contact us and we can help or point you to someone that can.  Many come saying Lord, Lord, didn’t we do all these things in your name? and He will say, I NEVER KNEW YOU!  This message is not for those without Jesus (Yeshua) but FOR THOSE CLAIMING to be serving Him.  Get discipled today!
