Why do some white christians try to bring up cain as the father of the african race?

Question

When in fact if they really read their Bibles they would know that the flood killed everyone, accept Noahs children. What do you have to say about that and your so called mark of cain? That goes to show if you are a true christian, you wouldn't be racist. Love one another.

Answer 1

We don't really know WHAT the 'mark of Cain' was. We DO know that Noah and his family somehow divided into the races around the time of the tower of Babylon and the spread of the people. Black people are just as authentic[!] as any other race. THIS WE DO KNOW, unless we are somehow miss led into the sin of bigotry.
You are so right--true Christians are NOT racist, but DO love one another! Praise God. In the sight of God there is neither man, woman, slave, free, or black nor white.

Answer 2

Well, the Bible reads that the flood killed everyone except Noah, his wife and their sons and their wives. One of Noah's sons was named Ham. He was different in that he had decided to married outside their race to a woman who was a Canaanite (a descendant of Cain). This is how Cain's line was preserved through the flood.

A true Christian shouldn't hate others as we are taught by the Master that one of the great commandments is to love others. A real Christian will not use facts from the Bible as hatred.

I believe God used the mark of Cain as fair punishment to Cain murdering and lying, but I don't think he would condone unfair discrimination against any of his children for any reason.

Answer 3

Your a little confused on your names there, Cain was Eve's son and Canaan was grandson to Noah. Canaanites lived around the middle east, and Israel. Cain is NOT the father of the African race and there is no basis for that statement because all of the descendants of Cain were killed in the flood.
The mark of Cain was to protect Cain from being killed by the animals or men; Genesis 4:15 And the LORD said unto him, Therefore whosoever slayeth Cain, vengeance shall be taken on him sevenfold. And the LORD set a mark upon Cain, lest any finding him should kill him.
Your statement should be refereeing to Noah's children not Cain, but Canaan people were dark skinned but they lived in Middle East and Africa;
Gen.10:6 And the sons of Ham; Cush, and Mizraim, and Phut, and Canaan.
Now from this you can look up the meaning of the name Cush and it means Black and that is only reference to what you are speaking of?
But this was all the grandsons of Noah so the white and black thing means nothing. There were all brown skinned people probably because you cannot change skin color drastically in one generation.
here is meanings of names;Ham = "hot"
1) 2nd son of Noah, father of Canaan and of various peoples which were inhabitants of southern lands

Cush = "black"

Mitsrayim=Egypt = "land of the Copts"1) a country at the northeastern section of Africa, adjacent to Palestine, and through which the Nile flows
adj
Egyptians = "?"
2) the inhabitants or natives of Egypt
Phut or Put = "a bow"
1) a nation and people of northern Africa; probably Libyans

Canaan = "lowland"
n pr m
1) the 4th son of Ham and the progenitor of the Phoenicians and of the various nations who peopled the seacoast of Palestine
2) the land west of the Jordan peopled by the descendants of Canaan and subsequently conquered by the Israelites under Joshua

Answer 4

I have a question is Noah a decendents of Cain

Answer 5

so which you're "specific that the final public of white Christians" hate black people!? Do you have some variety of psychic or non secular potential that helps you to envision the minds and hearts of all white Christians? are you able to proportion that potential with something people? For that rely in case you have ever heard the Reverend Jeremiah Wright's tirades on white u.s., i might in all probability ask your question to him and his congregation as nicely. endure in techniques Reverend Wright? He was once President Obama's pastor on the United Church of Christ--you already know, a Christian denomination. whilst I surely won't attempt to justify any white "Christians" who might have a hatred in direction of African individuals, i may well be keen to guess which you and various others might attempt to justify the comments of Reverend Wright, in spite of if i might desire to be incorrect considering the fact that i don't have that psychic potential which you curiously have confidence which you have. to end on a favorable word: people can call themselves in spite of the like; being a real Christian and calling your self one are 2 entirely diverse issues. The Bible says that the different countries will understand that we are Christians by employing our love. Any white people OR black people who call themselves Christians yet don't have love of their hearts for his or her fellow people (and definite, even their enemies) do no longer seem to bypass the litmus attempt...do you compromise? As one in each and every of my acquaintances (who occurs to be a black female in the Assemblies of God church) pronounced: "Going right into a church does not make you a Christian anymore than going right into a storage makes you a vehicle!" As an exceptionally final concept from this white Catholic Christian to YOU: might God bless you and your loved ones with peace & happiness!

Answer 6

I think most intelligent Christians don't take the Bible literally word for word. I also think that most intelligent people know how to spell and you might benefit from a lesson or two in that area.

Answer 7

WOW! you are so right. I find that most of the whites who claim to love GOD so much are actually the people who hate others and despise other races especially the blacks and mexiacans.

Answer 8

To "bro", humans came from Africa. Blacks come in all colors and can produce children lighter than them. Whites can't produce children darker than them unless they already have a black ancestor somewhere in the mix.

Answer 9

I haven't fully studied it, so i couldn't asnwer that question, i would suggest you ask one of them and try to see where they are coming from rather than label them and pre-judge their intentions. That's just what i do,i try not to pre-judge people's intentions.

Answer 10

What are you saying? If Noah was white, where did blacks come from. If Noah was black where did the whites come from. Who can say if Noah was white or black?
