Prophetman, there are many more races than just whites and blacks. What are Latinos, Asians, Native Americans, Arabs, etc according to your philosophy? What the is Michael Jackson?
If God created man's physical attributes based on the genes in their DNA, why would a different pattern of genes constitute evil? It's as arbitrary as saying everyone born with dwarfism is the 'son of perdition' or perhaps any born with a predilection of Alzheimer's, or anyone born with green eyes, or everyone from Iceland. The fact is, there's nothing specific in that verse for black people that specifically incriminates them. You just don't like black people.
Michael Jackson was a black man who descended from Cain and from Ham. Thus, he was one of those whom the scriptures call, "son of perdition" and "man of sin" or "man of lawlessness."But he had a skin condition that changed the pigmentation of his skin. Anyway, you didn't mention my first question by saying that whites and blacks were the "major players" in the Bible. And yet, God's chosen people, the Israelites, are their own race. And people of Asian decent are the most populous in the world, are they just cannon fodder? I know the fact that
you simply don't like black people informs this interpretation of Scripture, I'm just trying to illustrate that it doesn't make any sense.
It seems like for every Christian I find, I find another interpretation of Revelations. Who is the man of perdition? Is it the blacks, the Catholics, secularism, Protestants who have lost their way, Nazis, America, Israel, Muslims, aliens, the UN? More and more I'm thinking it's just another Biblical red herring used to justify prejudice.
