I've read Genesis. Where in Bible does it explain how the world's different races came into being?

Question

As proper Christians believe....Adam was "white", Eve was "white", and so should have been everyone who followed. So where did Blacks, Asians, Indians, and Arabs come from?

Jesus was white also? So then what race is God?

Answer 1

It's purely a matter of semantics anyway. How does evolution explain all the different races? Either way, we all started from one race.

No, Adam and Eve were black according to DNA research. All people alive today were descended from a black woman.

Scientists class humaninty as being comprised of 3 races, Asian, *****, and Caucasian. Noah had three sons. Go figure.

And no, the white race isn't God's race, all you're trying to do is anger Christians by calling them bigots to make yourself feel superior to them. How pathetic.

Answer 2

According to the Bible, all people today descended from the survivors of a great Flood - Noah's family, who in turn descended from Adam and Eve (Gen 1:11). There are many stories, from many parts of the world, of a great Flood that only several people survived to repopulate the earth.
But today we have many different groups, often called "races" with what seem to be greatly differing features. The most obvious of these is skin color. Some see this as a reason to doubt the Bible's record of history. They believe that the various groups could have arisen only by evolving separately over tens of thousands of years. However, this does not follow from the evidence.
The Bible tells us how the population that descended from Noah's family had one language and were living together and disobeying God's command to "fill the earth" (Gen 9:1, 11:4). God confused their language, causing a break-up of the population into smaller groups, which scattered over the earth (Gen. 11:8-9). Modern genetics shows how, following such a break-up of a population, variations in skin color, for example, can develop in only a few generations. And there is good evidence to show that the various groups of people we have today have NOT been separated for huge periods of time.
One could say there is really only one race - the human race. The Bible teaches us that God has "made from one blood all nations of men" (Acts 17:26. Scripture distinguishes people by tribal or national groupings, not by skin color or physical features. Clearly, though, there are groups of people, who have certain features (e.g. skin color) in common, which distinguish them from other groups. We prefer to call these "people groups" rather than "races," to avoid the evolutionary and racist connotations that have become associated with the word "race."
All peoples can intermarry and produce fertile offspring. This shows that the biological differences between the "races" are not great. In fact, the DNA differences are trivial. The DNA of any two people in the world would typically differ by just 0.2%. Of this, only 6% can be linked to racial categories; the rest is "within race" variation.
This genetic unity means, for instance, that white Americans, although ostensibly far removed from black Americans in phenotype, can sometimes be better tissue matches for them than other black Americans.

Answer 3

what makes you think that adam and eve were white? most of the bible was written in the middle east so i would assume that they were isrealites or arabic.


Genesis 11

The Tower of Babel
1 Now the whole world had one language and a common speech. 2 As men moved eastward, [a] they found a plain in Shinar [b] and settled there.
3 They said to each other, "Come, let's make bricks and bake them thoroughly." They used brick instead of stone, and tar for mortar. 4 Then they said, "Come, let us build ourselves a city, with a tower that reaches to the heavens, so that we may make a name for ourselves and not be scattered over the face of the whole earth."

5 But the LORD came down to see the city and the tower that the men were building. 6 The LORD said, "If as one people speaking the same language they have begun to do this, then nothing they plan to do will be impossible for them. 7 Come, let us go down and confuse their language so they will not understand each other."

8 So the LORD scattered them from there over all the earth, and they stopped building the city. 9 That is why it was called Babel [c] —because there the LORD confused the language of the whole world. From there the LORD scattered them over the face of the whole earth.

Answer 4

Adam and Eve were given the genetic make up of all those that now exist. each body of their children (and they'd very many) would have all appeared very distinct from one yet another. Adam and Eve at the prompt are not defined interior the bible so we do not understand what colour their pores and skin become or how tall they were or in the experience that they immediately or curly hair and so on. although, they were appropriate and able to manufacturing all that you spot now in all its variety. As time went on human beings would have change into interested in human beings that were more suitable like themselves. they'd marry someone similar and style communities and, in time, the gene pool would change into smaller so as that youngsters would look a lot more suitable like their father and mom. this may proceed till the type of time as human beings began having mixed marriages and human beings grew to change into something of a 'blend' back.

Answer 5

No where in the Bible does it say that Adam was "white" or any other race in particular, nor for that matter was Eve "white".
Jesus Christ most definitely was not "white" since he was a Hebrew. There are many "speculations" as to how & when the differences in our races began,..some say @ the tower of Babel, when the Lord confused their language, others say that Adam was of one race, Eve was another, & throughout the process of "fallen humanities" course, the differences have increased.
There are many different "theories" but only God knows the truth, & He did not feel that it was relevent to our search for Him, and therefore that "knowledge" was not included in our Basic Instructions Before Leaving Earth.

Answer 6

The original people were a mixture of what we currently have on earth, plus groups that have died out. That may include the so-called Neanderthals. The Neanderthals either died out or intermixed with other groups. They were people, just like the people on earth today. Of course, scientist, in their efforts to promote evolution have illustrated them as some type of sub-human.

The variations in skin color and hair, as well as stature, came about as a result of separation. As people reproduced within an isolated group, various characteristics manifested themselves.

Jesus was a Jew. So, look at Middle Eastern Jews, and you will see what he looked like. The Middle Eastern Jews look very much like Arabs.

Answer 7

The ethnos or ethnic peoples were created before the day of rest. Adam was created after the day of rest. Cain married a member of the sixth day creation. She lived in the land of Nod.

Adam and Eve were the beginning of the lineage of Christ. It was under attack to corrupt it so Christ could not be born into the flesh. Thus the temptation by Satan in the garden and later on the fallen angels did likewise to corrupt the lineage. Noah and his immediate family were the only ones of Adamic lineage remaining so there was the flood to clean out the DNA of the fallen angels from the human gene pool. If the fallen angels had accomplished their goal Christ could not have been born of woman.

Answer 8

You are not so brash. You need to keep reading and possibly study the geography of the Bible. How would Jesus or any of the people have been lilly white if they were in what is now the Middle East and Northern Africa. The description of Jesus said that his hair was like wool? Get your facts straight, and then you may be able to formulate questions that make sense.

And to answer your question, look up the tower of Babel.

Answer 9

race is the wrong word... there is only one race.. the human race... it comes in one color, melanin.. different shades of one color

no reason to think Adam and Eve were white...
in fact... they might have been what we consider two different ethically looking people... and did they care... no... they thought each other were knockouts. Between the two of em, they had the genetic diversity for the present people groups

the bible says the language groups came about after the spread of mankind at Babel after the flood, this tended to segregate the people groups and they would genetically specialize

I've read Genesis. Where in Bible does it explain how the world's different races came into being?

TOWER OF BABEL STORY!
~~~~~~~~~~~
Jesus was white also? So then what race is God?

" What colour of skin did the man known as Jesus Christ have ? "
A -- No problem ! I can answer you. Your answer in one word "Brown" !

All the people on this planet Earth are descendants from the first couple -
Adam and Eve. We are ALL just shades of that same colour !

Hold a sheet of Real White and Real Black paper up against your skin.
I can tell you "for certain" that your skin colour matches neither of these
paper colour samples. We are all "off white - or - BROWN !

WE ARE ALL OF THE SAME COLOUR because we are all indeed
descendants of that couple. Because of protective pigmentation we
are of different shades indeed.

What a beautiful example of how OUR MAKER designed us and built
a protective system into our skins to protect us from the suns rays !

Few people realize that The Bible does not say anything in opposition to
what is referred to as "mixed marriages". This is precisely why.

If "mixed marriages" do not work in our society, as it is today, it is because
of the arrogance of man. To "prove" superiority they often use gross
misinterpretations of Bible passages or misapply a Bible passage to
make it look like it proves them correct.
