None of the above are Biblical or Scientific. They were all commanded to "replenish" the earth, and to multiply. But then God created another couple of another race, and yet another. While yet another view is that God created Adam and Eve, they were both white. There is no biblical basis for this belief. Cain was somehow changed into another "cursed" race. There is another view that the different races originated back when Cain received a "mark" after he had killed his brother. Not between people of different complexions. God forbids marriage between believers and non believers. God's "favors" the people who diligently seek his face and serve Him. What does the Bible say about slavery? (coming soon)
This is terrible and untrue, but it helped them to justify slavery. These beliefs couldn't be further from the truth.īack in the 1800's claimed that "the black man did not have a soul". There have been people who have taught that the "black man is of the devil", possibly a fallen angel. There are some racist people who think that Gods "chosen people" are the white man. I would often wonder "If God created Adam and Eve, then what color were they? And where did all the other "colors" of people come from?" No where in the bible does it tell us what color Adam and Eve were. Were only Adam and Eve to start of with?" "I have a question about Adam and Eve, I picture them as being white people, but how come there is so many different races of human beings if there The work of Dr McIntosh also reveals that the Chinese language tells us much about Babel (Genesis, Babel & the Chinese Language (DVD) by Dr Andy McIntosh) In fact Linguistic research supports the Biblical account (The Tower of Babel account affirmed by linguistics by K.J. The bible tells us clearly that languages did not evolve separately in different places around the world. Therefore is the name of it called Babel because the LORD did there confound the language of all the earth: and from thence did the LORD scatter them abroad upon the face of all the earth." So the LORD scattered them abroad from thence upon the face of all the earth: and they left off to build the city." Go to, let us go down, and there confound their language, that they may not understand one another's speech." They instead decided to stay there "lest we be scattered" (v4).Īnd the LORD came down to see the city and the tower, which the children of men builded."Īnd the LORD said, Behold, the people is one, and they have all one language and this they begin to do: and now nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do." Their intentions were also in direct contrast to Gods command to spread and fill the earth. So his 2 best attempts are at the creation, when there are only 2 people, and post flood when the earths population was very small. The fewer people there are in the world, the easier this would be to accomplish. Instead we see one of many attempts by Satan to corrupt the entire population into rejecting God. "This was not an innocent, scientifically naive, primitive effort to reach the highest heavens!" (Babel by John Whitcomb, AIG online article) but a "blasphemous effort to dismiss forever" God and his commandments. "let us build us a city and a tower, whose top unto heaven" may mean that the tower itself was built to worship stellar objects and/or angelic beings. When you remove them, the verse takes on a new meaning. This means they were not in the original. The words "may reach" in verse 4 are italicized. They also disobeyed God's instruction to spread out and fill the earth, choosing instead to fill one region. Had they listened to God's word they would have known of his promise never to send another global flood. The reason for building a tower may have been that they thought a tower reaching into the "heaven" (sky) would protect them from another flood.
"And they said, Go to, let us build us a city and a tower, whose top may reach unto heaven and let us make us a name, lest we be scattered abroad upon the face of the whole earth."
This again reaffirms the idea that men could build great structures from the very beginning of time. And they had brick for stone, and slime had they for morter."

All people shared the same skin color, and there was no division among men by race (color) or language.Īnd it came to pass, as they journeyed from the east, that they found a plain in the land of Shinar and they dwelt there."Īnd they said one to another, Go to, let us make brick, and burn them thoroughly.
