Bible Discussion Thread

I am wondering what others think about this article I read. I don't know if anyone can explain why God didn't explain different races. Would we be happier if we knew God purposed it that way?

The only differences explained are like: Jews, Palestinians, Caananites, all the "ites", etc.

Put a . Where I had to spell dot out

I was an artist when younger. I learned how to make new colors from basic colors, plus white or black. I think it was people who began to value or devalue people according to color.

God used dust to form the first humans.

Have you ever sculpted with clay? The sculptor looks for earth that is shaded already; or they shade it themselves. Every piece can be different.

God made no distinction. We have no direction on skin colors.

We'd get bored to tears if every sunrise or sunset all looked identical. What if cats and dogs were all the same color? Yellow and pink & neon orange tee shirts make me feel hostile. What's up with that?

Goodnight. Enjoyed your comments and questions today. Happy New Year.

Pray for Denver and Colorado.

It's on fire.

Good Morning, Mishael,

I think that God does not mention races because He wants us all to recognize that we are all human beings of equal value to Him. Of course, He has guided DNA transmission through the ages to determine people groups with distinguishing characteristics. I think He loves the variety within His creation, and so should we. It is sad that people have been challenged since Noah's day (at least) with loving neighbors as ourselves in regards to racial differences. I wish this wasn't so, even now, but as believers, we can set an example of how we can love others as Jesus would have us, recalling how He has loved us so much, and displaying for others that God's love in and through us transcend the differences we see on the outside of people.

I absolutely agree with you. I've read the Bible back and forth so much. I never found an explanation from The Lord why he hasn't said Why we all look different.

The artist in me, understands, somehow; God and I have the same opinion. You find just the right canvas and prepare it, mount it, then you go get your paint colors which is a science in itself. I like paintings done by brush and blade. You have to go to an art museum to eyeball the layers of paint and how the colors look back at you.

God is a Master Painter and Sculptor. Every day, our skies are new.

Hollywood tries to paint the devil so handsome and sensual; but Isaiah 14, shows us the Truth. Hatred made him short and covered in worms. He showed the kingdoms of the world, to Tempt Jesus_the Son of God!! the Word made flesh. John 1:1

God created us all different and beautiful. Somehow, Satan corrupts it with chaos, jealousy and pride; eternally marred with hate.

How do we show a dying world there is acceptance and love in the Creator? He takes all the results of sin and hurls them as far as the East is from the West: a straight line that doesn't end.

How do our children learn to hate and despise themselves and others? In all of our daily busyness, why can we not teach of God who is the definition of Greatness and Love? He has no color. He's Spirit. A consuming Fire. His Love towards each of us burns. We see it in Jesus Love.

I see Great Wisdom. Each human being is unique. Is exactly as the Master Painter, Sculptor, desired.

It is upsetting to see in this Forum, that we are not all convinced that God is Good; that God is Love. We blame Him for all bad choices.

We don't truly know how much Satan hates Gods creation; people too. Riots, National leaders forcing us into a sick slavery, children fighting everyone and everything. No future.

Teach them to see Jesus; see Love in the flesh; before it's too late. See the signs! Get yourself in Jesus, who is the last ARK.

I have come to understand,.. that God created all the races, in the 6th day , an he looked an it was good ,.. ie; end of chapter 1 of Genius,.. an as I too look an see that it is good , an of continuing growth,.. I of course, realize that not all of children have come to a conclusion of agreement an understanding of this knowledge,.. an I would never disrespect anyone on there personal opinions,.. but I also have truly been blessed to spiritually have eyes to see an ears to hear,..
