Racism

[OneLight]

I am pretty sure that this is common accepted knowledge among the scientific community - creationists and evolutionists alike. I think you can find it on the answersingenesis.org site through a search.

I must be missing something - I found very little at this site, that addressed that comment that ALL races came from Africa.

Answers in Genesis is a good site but, for really in depth articles, I recommend Science Weekly or Science Daily. Like this one on the origins of man......we all really did originate in Africa.

Show me this in scripture please.

It's there, if you look. We all descended from the same two people who lived in the Garden of Eden at one point but were expelled from there. My theory is that they traveled to Egypt (which is in Africa) or thereabouts and started a family.

A theory is not fact, and it appears that many here are trying to make this sound factual. I am not interested in theories of what might of been, but what scripture tells us.

Genesis 3:22-24

Then the LORD God said,

[Believer1997]

but can anyone show me the Biblical Scripture that indicates ALL races originated in Africa (the OT map I saw showed only a tiny part of what may be considered modern day Africa) and also, where in the Bible does it say that "most" people descended from Africans?

if the Bible can be trusted, then we all came from the Garden of Eden which was located in modern day Iraq

Well, Brother Yod, the Bible has never steered me wrong and that's what I think, too. It really matters little where any of us came from - it's where we are going that counts!! Blessings!!

Sorry, I can't help what does, or does, not interest you. There are way more people debating this than just you, me or any other thousand people.

I have a question, what in the world is "reverse" racisim. That term sounds more and more foolish everytime I hear it. It is either racism or not. There is no such thing as reverse racisim.

amen!

But I think it means a reaction to racism that is racist itself.

Hey Ruck. Google the term and choose which site you want to believe. Most say about the same thing, but others are a bit different, as in all web stuff ... Personally, I've never used the term.

Ok show u in scripture. You sound like the guy from another post on here that was harrasing all the christians and objecting everyone's response. I will tell u to first start with the book of genesis. Do you see the geology? Also do you see what KIND of natural resources where in the garden? Do you know where those rivers mentioned are at and how long they travel?

I just have a question? Where does it say in the bible to have a discussion on race amoung christians? or where in the bible does it tell us to have debates on issues of the day? But we are doing it arent we? Lets not get on our high horses here because we could all learn a thing or two from one another if we will listen with an open mind. Do you research the bible to know how to do your job at work? of course not, there are manuals at work that tell you how to do your job.

God always leaves clues... Even if the garden of eden was in "modern day iraq.... do u realize that that area back then were populated by predominately african descent? Also for those who may not know, there are a lot of missing books/scriptures of the bible.... and the "authorised" authorized by king james of england by the way- king james version even lists some of those "missing books". God gave us the parts that are needed to do our christian duties and the rest he will uncover as he sees fit and we will all know the whole deal when that great day of the Lord comes.

But in the meanwhile if u will take the time to do some research and read the bible you will find out to your surprise that it is rich with african history. It even mentions the events of slavery in the book of Isaiah. I dont have time to give you a whole lesson on hebrew/ jewish/african/ roman history but i wish i could.... the rabbit hole is really deep. And it takes a long time to study it and compare to history in scripture which i did compare my research to scripture. By the way I also cant find a direct passage that says that the Garden of eden was in Iraq. Can you show me that in scripture without using any other means?

ridiculous. How is someone of african descent when they precede africa?

It sounds like you are promoting racist views based on innaccuracy at best

Kemetbeauty,

Hello and welcome to Worthy. I would like to comment a bit on the response you posted to Onelight's question. I only want to say that no one is picking on you or trying to be contentious. Onelight is one of the most knowledgeable Bereans on this Board. He takes the study of the Bible very seriously, and he knows quite a lot about theology and Biblical history. We all take very seriously what is commented on about Biblical scripture - so, if someone makes a statement of fact about what is in the Bible, they shouldn't have a problem directing us to it. When you do have time to teach us what you know about Hebrew/Jewish?African/Roman history, I, for one, would be very interested in learning what you have to say. Please know that we are here to learn, teach and support each other as Christians. Blessings.

[Fez]

Amen Believer, amen!

[OneLight]

I know this thread extremely well.

I will tell u to first start with the book of genesis. Do you see the geology? Also do you see what KIND of natural resources where in the garden? Do you know where those rivers mentioned are at and how long they travel?

Let's look at what is

Genesis 2:8-14

The LORD God planted a garden eastward in Eden, and there He put the man whom He had formed. And out of the ground the LORD God made every tree grow that is pleasant to the sight and good for food. The tree of life was also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.

Now a river went out of Eden to water the garden, and from there it parted and became four riverheads. The name of the first is Pishon; it is the one which skirts the whole land of Havilah, where there is gold. And the gold of that land is good. Bdellium and the onyx stone are there. The name of the second river is Gihon; it is the one which goes around the whole land of Cush. The name of the third river is Hiddekel; it is the one which goes toward the east of Assyria. The fourth river is the Euphrates.

If you check the locations of the Tigris (Pishon) and the Euphrates rivers, you will see that they begin it what we call Turkey today and flow through Iraq. They end in the Persian Gulf. Scripture also tells us that the river went out of Eden to water the garden and that the garden is East of Eden. This is Iraq. No matter how you look at it, it is not Africa.

I just have a question? Where does it say in the bible to have a discussion on race amoung christians? or where in the bible does it tell us to have debates on issues of the day? But we are doing it arent we? Lets not get on our high horses here because we could all learn a thing or two from one another if we will listen with an open mind. Do you research the bible to know how to do your job at work? of course not, there are manuals at work that tell you how to do your job.

I see nobody but you "getting on their high horse". I asked you to give scripture to back what you stated. This is what we do to ensure what we take in is true or not, and is very scriptural.

God always leaves clues... Even if the garden of eden was in "modern day iraq.... do u realize that that area back then were populated by predominately african descent?

I disagree. Are saying is that Adam and Eve came from Africa? This is not scriptural any way you look at it. God does not leave clues about where the Garden of Eden was and is very clear where creation took place.

Also for those who may not know, there are a lot of missing books/scriptures of the bible.... and the "authorised" authorized by king james of england by the way- king james version even lists some of those "missing books". God gave us the parts that are needed to do our christian duties and the rest he will uncover as he sees fit and we will all know the whole deal when that great day of the Lord comes.

They were not added to the cannon for a reason. They contradicted the OT and the traditions passed to the early church by the Apostles.

But in the meanwhile if u will take the time to do some research and read the bible you will find out to your surprise that it is rich with african history. It even mentions the events of slavery in the book of Isaiah. I dont have time to give you a whole lesson on hebrew/ jewish/african/ roman history but i wish i could.... the rabbit hole is really deep. And it takes a long time to study it and compare to history in scripture which i did compare my research to scripture.

I can assure you that there are many here that have spent most of their lives studying scripture. I would be very interested discussing your beliefs with you.

May you find peace in your walk.

In His Love,
