All that Hate in the Bible

American Indians, Kenyans and many others believe there are four races of mankind. The Bible, however, seems to state that there are only three races of man. These races apparently came from Noah's three sons who survived the Genesis Flood: Shem ('white' race), Ham ('black' race) and Japheth ('yellow' race). Are there three or four races of mankind? Where did the 'red' race (Indians, etc.) come from?

Those whose formal field of study is racial characteristics have proven that many of the North American “Indians” are descended from Asiatic people.


Much of today’s speculation is of two primary origins:

Those who are racist in their ideology, believing that one group of people is superior to others because of the color of their skin or the texture of their hair.

Those who want to merge all people together, regardless of cultural differences, out of “political correctness”.


Many of those who nominally believe the Bible do not recognize that Moses married a woman whose skin was black and the Bible gives no restrictions on racial “mixing”. The Bible DOES warn against believers marrying and taking up the habits of unbelievers but that’s about the extent of Bible teaching in the area of “race”.

The real truth is that all of mankind have the opportunity to become sons of God through the grace of God and the blood of our Savior, Jesus.

God created this universe, this world and everyone in it. People exist in their variety because God designed it that way. Put simply, racism is a criticism of His handiwork.

If you told me that you did not like me because of some physical characteristic I have, I might say: "Look buddy, your beef is really with the One that created me - it has nothing to do with me. I had nothing to do with creating myself! I can't change a characteristic you don't like just because you ask me to. Like you, I did not ask to be on this planet and I did not ask to have the characteristics I have. If you do not like me that’s between you and God! Complain to Him!"

" And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you. " (Eph. 4:32)
