Which scriptures in the bible say being black is wrong?

Answer 1

thats because it doesnt. the bible is just a best seller sci fi book.

Answer 2

There are no scriptures that say that. People say the Bible says all kinds of crazy things. That's why it's important to read it for yourself. I would also suggest getting a Strong's Concordance since the translations of some words have been mistranslated.

To see where the common misunderstanding regarding dark skinned people is located, check out Genesis 4. It says that God gave Cain a mark. Some people have interpreted that to mean that God changed Cain in a physical way and changed his skin color. However, the Hebrew word used here is "oth" which means "sign" - not mark. So, it is absolutely false to say that God changed Cain's skin coloring to black and that being black is the "mark of Cain." There is no further indication in the scripture what the sign was, but to conclude that it was being black skinned is irresponsible Biblical interpretation.

Hope that helps.

Answer 3

Honey, somebody lied to you....there is no such scripture. How could it be wrong, when God himself created black people? Acts 10:34&35 Acts 17:26. By the way, this is an erroneous idea that comes from the curse that Noah pronounced on his son Canaan Genesis 9:20 - 25. Blacks are not descended from the Canaanites, we are descendants of Cush, one of Noah's grandsons - Genesis 10:6&7. Numbers the 12th chapter even speaks of Moses' marrying a Cushite woman. When his brother Aaron and his sister Miriam spoke against this, Miriam was stricken with leprosy by God as a punishment.

Answer 4

In some of the texts it says that an animal sacrifice should not be black.

Regarding people, in Numbers 12:1, we are told that Moses married a "Cushite" woman. The Cushites came from Ethiopia, so more than likely, this women was black.

Numbers 12:1-3:
1 Miriam and Aaron began to talk against Moses because of his Cushite wife, for he had married a Cushite. 2 "Has the LORD spoken only through Moses?" they asked. "Hasn't he also spoken through us?" And the LORD heard this.

Whether the objection was to the race of his wife, or just the fact that she wasn't Hebrew is not elaborated on.

In Song of Solomon 1, we have this:
5 Dark am I, yet lovely,
daughters of Jerusalem,
dark like the tents of Kedar,
like the tent curtains of Solomon.

6 Do not stare at me because I am dark,
because I am darkened by the sun.
My mother's sons were angry with me
and made me take care of the vineyards;
my own vineyard I had to neglect.

There is dispute as to who wrote Song of Solomon. Was it Solomon himself, or a female writer who was in love with/married to/a concubine of Solomon's? Is the writer black, or merely has dark skin due to overexposure to the sun? These are questions that will probably never be answered until we meet Christ.

Then we have this:
2 Samuel 11:2-3:
2 One evening David got up from his bed and walked around on the roof of the palace. From the roof he saw a woman bathing. The woman was very beautiful, 3 and David sent someone to find out about her. The man said, "Isn't this Bathsheba, the daughter of Eliam and the wife of Uriah the Hittite.

Most scholars believe the Hittites were a black race. In this case, I guess it would be wrong (unfortunate) to be this particular Hittite (Uriah), as David was in love with his wife and sent him purposely to the front lines in war to be killed.

Basically, if there is anything indicated here, it is that prejudice was alive even back then. Of course we know that the Israelites committed genocide many times on the command of God.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year, Brittney.

Answer 5

There are non but since there are many religions out there, always remember that each religion has its own different interpretations of the scriptures in the Bible.

Answer 6

there is no Scripture that I've read says anything about being black as wrong

Answer 7

NONE. Some religions have wrongly thought differently, but there is nothing in the Bible that really says that. Darkness usually refers to one's spirit.

Answer 8

Not a single one.

But there are scriptures that say "God is not partial" also that in "every nation" the person that does the will of God is pleasing to him.

Answer 9

there is no such scripture! Did you know that it is a sin to add or take away from the bible. Shame on you.

Answer 10

It's not any where in my bible (KING JAMES) stop making up stuff that is totally ignorant and laying it on the bible.I don't know how you thought you could slide that lie in there and people wouldn't know the truth, we read our bibles too.

Answer 11

There aren't any. It was misinterpreted that because one black dude made a mistake that the whole nation is cursed. Nevermind all that. We're not living in Jeruselem. Different rules here and all.
