Breeds of Human

Before the Flood, the races of man were the lines of Cain (“Gain”), Abel (“Breath/Vapor”) and Seth (“Appointed”). The Flood left only the line of Seth through Noah (“Rest/Comfort”). The races of man became the lines of Shem (“Fame”), Ham (“Hot/Blackened”) and Japheth (“Extend/Beautiful”). Cush (“Black”), a son of Ham fathered the black race.

Shem is the ancestor of the Asians. Ham is the ancestor of the Africans. Japheth is the ancestor of the Europeans.

The line of Shem inhabited the Americas, only to be conquered by the line of Japheth. The line of Cush was brought in as slaves.

Every human being is related by blood, from Noah specifically. We are closer to the members of our race and even closer to members of our family.

The life of a creature is in the blood. The bloodlines do matter. They do not decide our individuality but they do relate us to other people. We look very much like our relatives for a reason. We are very much alike, inside and out.

The sons of Noah were brothers. They were family. Their children were cousins.

Humanity always begins as a family. It becomes races as it grows apart. Populations breed within themselves until becoming innately distinct from other populations.

The races are real. When a family becomes millions of people, it becomes a race.

A family is not what people look like. A race is no different in this regard. They are both distinctions of common ancestry. Their members may look alike… or not. Their blood relation is what it is regardless. Looking alike simply makes it obvious. Differences make it questionable.

  1. We all had to come from somewhere. The point is what we do with our lives today.

    1. We are born with our talents and our talents are not all the same. We can only excel if we make the most of what we are GIVEN. To whom more is given, more is required. This is why the ancestry of Jesus was important: More was required of him than anyone else. His life would have been pointless if he was deformed or mentally retarded, for example.

  2. It is common for family members to have animosity with one another. Races perpetuate their problems in a similar fashion. We should put such things aside for the good of all.

    1. Yes. We should also be mindful that those closest to us are those most likely to hate us. Familiarity does indeed breed contempt.

  3. Tribalism is always brother against brother no matter the race. A Russian should not be seen as a adversary unless he individually proves otherwise. Jesus was clear that we should treat others as ourselves, race and creed should have no bearing on our love for humanity.

    1. Yes. It is an affront to the very spirit of Freedom to dismiss an individual because if groups.
