    GEN 10-24...Stephan Woehr 's: I agree with most of what you said, I believe also, that we are all part of the human race, and all creations of GOD But the part where you believe we can all trace our lineage back to Adam is where I think you may be wrong. Even though it is inconsequential and not worth arguing about. Their is more to it than just pigmentation, Its possible that before the flood their could have been one race, it doesn 't say one way or the other. Most believe it was after the flood, at Babel, when God confounded the tongue, and man was scattered across the face of the Earth. Their had to be more to the changes in physical appearance between the races that is not explained, maybe just not meant for us to know. It doesn 't effect my faith one way or another, PRAISE THE GOD OF CREATION, AND HIS HOLY SON AND PRAISE HIS HOLY SPIRIT WHICH IS THE POWER THAT CONTAINS ALL THINGS. AMEN!!

    Hello RNM I do not know if they will post this, however, King David s wife was Bathsheba an Ethiopian Queen. King Solomon loved another Ethiopian Queen, Sheba . In ancient times, Ethiopia did not refer to a specific geographic location. The word means burnt skin. The term, Ethiopian referred to any population of people with dark skin. Mary Magdalene s father was a black king from Libya. If you look at a lot of Ethiopians they are people of color. There are many shades of Black people all over the world in many different nationalities, some with straight hair. In the end, if a person is truly saved and has God in their hearts where is the room for prejudice?
