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!
