Are Blacks mentioned in the Bible?

Question

Blacks are infact mentioned in the Bible, they are called the "Chayee Behemah" which means "Beast of the Field".

The Hebrew Word "Adam" is translated as "Man" and means "to blush or turn rosy".

Jonah 3:7-8
"And he caused it to be proclaimed and published through Nineveh by the decree of the king and his nobles, saying, Let neither man nor beast, herd nor flock, taste any thing: let them not feed, nor drink water: But let man and bast be covered with sackcloth, and cry mightily unto God: yea, let them turn every one from his evil way, and from the violence that [is] in their hands."

Here it talks about "Beasts" that can wear sackcloth (clothes), has hands, and can "cry mightily unto the Lord".

What do you think?

Answer 1

The Hebrew word Cush is often rendered "Ethiopia" in the English translation of the Bible. The nation of Ethiopia is always indicated by the word "Cush." These dark-skinned natives of Ethiopia are Black. Jeremiah asked, "Can the Ethiopian change his skin?" (Jer. 13:23) Cushite people first settled in the Mesopotamian Valley where they developed the world's first civilization before invading Semites became the dominate race in Mesopotamia. (Genesis 10) These Cushites are called Sumerians in secular history.

Under Nimrod, a Cushite, the greatest cities of the ancient world in Mesopotamia were built. Nineveh, Babylon, Erech, and Accad are mentioned in Genesis 10 as cities founded by Nimrod. These centers of civilization are known to all students of history.

Answer 3

Aw, come on. Did that web site really convince you of anything?

Deductive reasoning is called for, but inductive reasoning is what is used.

Deductive logic would be the conclusion reached by Bible scholars trying to make sense of that passage, and saying "aha, beasts wearing clothes, well that's gotta be Blacks!"

The case is weak, if not laughable. (Besides, what about the big bad wolf?)

So they use inductive reasoning which would have people looking (desperately) for Biblical justification to condone, even promote racism, and then choosing that particular passage passage as the closest thing. "Poetic license" in the extreme.

One would have to ignore an awful lot of science and the bulk of the New Testament to settle one's faith upon the above premise. I think the name of the "party" is downright blasphemous.

Yes blacks are in the bible. Egypt/Cush are both black nations mentioned. No Adam doesn't mean blush or rosy it comes from a root word meaning the earth because Adam was taken from the earth. Those people on that website are ignorant.
