Black, White, Chinese, Aboriginy, Hindu etc., people look extremely different from different regions. I guess Adam and Eve must've possessed the jeans of all the races we see in the world today? Thoughts? I'm thinking Adam was a light/skinned Chinese looking guy, and Eve was a darker-skinned Hindu looking gal. How did I do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just find it fascinating how a human body can take so many different shapes and colors over time from the jeans of two people. I don't think it was an instant metamorphosis as God did when he split the languages all of a sudden. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the genetic make up of Adam and Eve was mentioned. Pastor did mention that the old south east USA taught genetics somehow was an excuse for bigotry, and I don't even remember the excuse since I had never heard it before, but he totally debunked it. Hatred and bigotry are wrong in any form. Then our pastor's sermon took a much different twist. It was about family groups rather than races. God seems to recognize family groups or clans and extended clans. Jacob have I loved and Esau have I hated referred to the nations that proceded from those men, for instance. The prophetic references to Gog and Megog are family groups that moved in different directions to the north of Iraq after the fall of the tower of Babel. I also was raised to not be bigoted. In Sunday school we sang a song: Jesus loves the little children, all the children of the world. Red and yellow, black and white, they are precious in His sight, Jesus loves the little children of the world. There was a piece of art showing children of all races around a man depicted as Jesus who was light brown skinned. Our church is very interracial where I now live and racially mixed marriages are accepted as well. It is hard for me to love and tollerate people who are hateful and use racial slurrs.. I have to remind myself that God died for them, too. Blessings, Willa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is he Italian? Is he Arabic? Is he a light skinned African man? 10 worthy points to anyone who can guess South America heritage, probably living in the UK now.

I am as you probably know married to an amazing Asian woman who I adore. But even today in South Africa when we walk in a mall we sometimes get racial comments made, mostly in Afrikaans (women), or Zulu (men). Strange being on the other side of a racial comment, especially when you know the person beside you is a true woman of God, who cries when she reads her bible, sings in our worship group at church and when she speaks of Jesus, everyone, my pastor included, stops and listens. What prompts the verbal attacks I wonder? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
