Why did God make the races separate?

Question

Why didn't God make all the races one race instead of there being different races of humans?

it would have stopped a lot of conflict and slavery that has gone on through history.

\\Race is real, but it's not a biological reality, it's a social reality that people have constructed//

its much more than a social reality, i can spot the differences between a black and a white from a mile away!

If it was just a social reality you would be able to hide it by dressing everyone in the same clothing.

Answer 1

God is a lie. A fairytale fantasy myth. And religion kills people.

Answer 2

From my study, God created sixth day creation people on the 6th day. Some time later God created Adam and Eve (the white race), as Jesus will be born through the lineage.

We all were in a first world age, but many people fell away from God s instructions. We are now in the second world age, in essence, we re being tested.

The problem is the caucasion has been duped by the one worlders, become part of the world. We have been forced to accept political correctness. We must turn back to God s Word, and laws.

Answer 3

God (or evolution, as I prefer to call him) didn't make the races separate - there are no separate races, just a continuum of different blends of genotypes across the world from east to west and north to south.
The reason we see sharply distinct - looking groups of people in some places, the US being a good example, is because people here mainly come from a few areas on that continuum - Western Africa (from the slave trade), Northern Europe, Eastern Asia, and Latin America (a mix of European and native Mesoamerican genes).

I promise, if you took one person from every country around the world and put them in a room together, you'd see that no two of them are exactly alike. Skin color alone does not define race, not even socially, or people with dark skin and textured hair (African descent) and people with dark skin and smooth hair (Indian descent) would be the same 'race', and people with light skin, light hair, and round eyes (European descent) and people with light skin, dark hair, and almond eyes (Asian descent) would be the same 'race.'
Not to mention that your genetic makeup is so much more than just the way you look on the outside.

Race is real, but it's not a biological reality, it's a social reality that people have constructed. This doesn't in anyway reduce or deny the harm that racism has done, but it changes the way *we* can look at it and define it in the future.

And finally, to answer your last statement, no, it wouldn't have, because people in the same region of Africa were enslaving each other even before Europeans got there, Romans enslaved everybody, including themselves, and people will find any justification to hurt, kill, and fight one another.
Race is just the excuse, even if some people really believe in it. Misunderstanding, fear, poverty, and greed are the real causes.

Answer 4

The reason for the different races is because of the Tower of Babel. I don't know if you know the story or not. But there was a king you wanted to build a tower to reach heaven. Of course, God didn't want this so he destroyed the tower. Then he gave everyone different languages so they could not understand each other. And since they could not understand each other they would not be able to build this tower.
The conflict and slavery through the ages is not because of races but because of hatred and envy. Evil is to blame for all the troubles.

Answer 5

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."

Answer 6

I'm not sure he made different races...the only thing I have ever read has been the story of the tower of Babel. He changed their speech....

At some point in the life every Christian will be confronted with what is called the "racial problem." When this occurs Christians and churches have often responded in ignorance to the truth as to the origin of race .

Many times we hear false explanations such as tanning effects of the sun on the people who settled in Africa caused them to develop very dark skin, or those in the East, because of a more moderate climate, developed the yellow tones of the Oriental peoples. The Caucasian peoples of the Northern hemisphere have lighter or white skin because of being exposed to a less

Traditionally biblical scholars have concluded that the three races were the progeny of Noah's three sons, Shem, Japheth and Ham.1

Japheth is the father of the Caucasian race, Shem of the Mongoloid race, and Ham of the Negroid race. Some have interpreted Noah's prophecies of his sons in Genesis 9 to be the Scriptural basis for discrimination of one race to another. Particularly, the supposed curse on Ham's son, Canaan was purported to be Biblical support of Negro slavery. We will deal with that later in this paper.

Answer 7

We are all different because of the places we live. Imagine if all the Africans were white! Australia has a lot of skin cancer and that's because white people should not be in so much strong sunlight, the aboriginals are black. God didn't make it this way, over thousands of years we adapted to our climate. Just put it this way, go into the African Desert and sit there for a bit and see how badly burned you get. Black people can go into the sun and not get burned like that. They didn't have sun block years ago. It's all about adaptation. We are all the same people on the inside just we need different features to protect ourselves.

Answer 8

Genesis 9: 20-27, God cursed Ham and his descendants. This could be part of your answer. Then in Genesis 11 the story of the tower of Babel may be another part.
God created one human race-period. When the people scattered at the tower of Babel they became isolated, making smaller gene pools. Many scholars believe that this event is the beginning of the races. We do know from DNA research done back in 1988 at U.Cal. Berkeley by Wilson and Stoneking proved that "ALL" humans alive on this planet came from one fully developed "human" female. In other words-"usses all be kin folkes". "Red and Yellow, Black and White".

Answer 9

He did not make the races separate. He made people different for variety sake. How would you like it if everyone looked the same? Jehovah made it so there would be variety among humans. Different skin color, different heights, different hair color, etc.

Are you saying that if mankind were all of a single race, then there would not have been slavery? That is simply not true. In Asia and Africa, there is slavery right now among people of the same race. For instance, in some African countries, slavery is big business. Blacks enslaves blacks. Similar things are happening right now in the Far East.

After Jehovah clears away mankinds sinful nature, all races of people will live together in peace and harmony.

Answer 10

Actually, the 'races,' as you put it, are brought about by human breeding patterns and geographically-separated evolution. Darker skin is a trait beneficial to those living in hot, arid climates, where protection from the sun is critical to life (dark skin controls the amount of vitamin D produced from exposure to the sun and is resistant to skin cancers), whereas the lighter skin found more commonly on people in northern, colder climates is able to absorb more light and thus produce more vitamin D in order to compensate for the low quantities of sunlight present in that part of the world.

Answer 11

Races developed due to different climates, living in hotter countries involved more melatonin (i think it is) being produced in the skin to protect from the Sun's UV rays.

Hence why people who are originally from Africa (a typically tropical country) are black, the darker skin enables the skin to absorb more of the sun's rays, making the sun less harmful, this is why people get a tan when they go on a sunny holiday.
