What is your reason for disliking interracial marriage? Marriage between 2 christians is sacred regardless of skin color

>>5969

>marriage between 2 christians is sacred regardless of skin color

I'm not disputing that. I think they should be shown as much love as any other brother/sister in the faith. But in my heart, I believe that God created separate but equal races. And interrace kids almost always develop identity issues as they eventually realize that they don't really fit in with their mother or father's side of the family. I think it shows poor stewardship of creation, basically.

>>5971

The judge in your pic related is an idiot for stating that God did not intend the races to mix. How does he know what God did or did not intend? If God didn't intend for us to mix races, he would have not made it possible to have children outside of your own race.

Furthermore, a child having identity issues is a vain worry. A child should identify as a child of God, and a Christian above all us. To worry about which race to assign themselves to is vain. Do you not think God would take care of it? Do not use mixed races disasters such as Elliot Rodger to say that mixed races have identity issues. Elliot wasn't a Christian so therein lies the true reason why he turned out retarded.

>>5945

If the churchpeople consider anti-racism to be an essential element of Christianity and don't want people that disagree, the church's not worth joining. Like others have recommended, I'd seek a better alternative.

>>5976

>If God didn't intend for us to mix races, he would have not made it possible to have children outside of your own race.

Just like how if God didn't intend for us to fornicate, he would not have made it possible to have children outside of marriage right? Just because God made it possible for you to sin, does not mean he wants you to choose to do so.

>>5976

You are making the error of presuming that a higher identity as a child of God cancels out the biological identity as a member of your ancestors' race. This is an egalitarian lie.

>>5976

If God didnt intend for separate races to exist he wouldn't have created them.

He makes no mistakes you know.

>>5976

yeah, no, racemixing causes nothing but problems and everyone knows it, which is why interracial marriage came at the same time as contraceptives and divorce and before gay marriage

>>5945

Children from interracial marriages are more prone to mental health problems. Racemixing is nation-wrecking, it's practically unwise, and it wouldn't exist if not for stupid and greedy politicians.

>>5986

>>5993

I donno if you can make general rules about this stuff. If a man and a woman of two different races happen to both be good Christians, were raised in similar circumstances and happen to fall in love, I don't see why that marriage wouldn't work

Yes race mixing generally is bad, but there are times when it does work and produces happy offspring. One example of this is Moses and his black wife

Another is Ruth and Boaz whose happy, well adjusted descendants included the saviour of mankind

Neither shalt thou lie with any beast to defile thyself therewith: neither shall any woman stand before a beast to lie down thereto: it is confusion.

>>6023

Sometimes jumping a dirt bike over fifteen busses works out fine.

Sometimes the snake and mouse become best friends and get a special interest story on the local news. Other times… well, you know.

>>5945

I remember a study saying that a brain scan of students at a university (aka poz factory) showed signs of an instinctive "disgust" response when shown pictures of interracial couples. Gotta say I'm getting a similar feeling from that pic.

>>6039

>students at a university (aka poz factory) showed signs of an instinctive "disgust" response when shown pictures of interracial couples.

Is there a natural theology argument against miscegenation based on this observation?

>>6039

>>6040

Alright, let's put an end to this crap

I'm Asian, whites have lower IQ than we do, higher crime rates than we do, get divorced at substantially higher rates than we do, have substantially lower academic achievement than we do

So do I look at white as inferior or myself as superior, or discourage girls in my family from dating white guys

No I don't care, because I realize that there is substantial overlap between races and I give everyone the benefit of the doubt judging them on their individual merits and not as a statistic or as a group. I think looking at individuals as individuals is an important component of loving your neighbor that some of you need to look into

You can make generalized findings about race, ie. blacks have higher divorce rates, crime rates, coal toll etc.

but the moment you look at the black guy in your church as a statistic rather than judging him on his individual merits you run into problems

does

>>6052

>whites have lower IQ than we do

No, whites have lower IQs than the subset of chinks who invade western countries. We have the same IQ as chinks/nips/mongs, and higher IQ than the south asian monkey creatures.

>higher crime rates than we do

Again you are comparing asian immigrants in western nations to the rest of that western nation.

>have substantially lower academic achievement than we do

And again.

>or discourage girls in my family from dating white guys

Why do you hate God and your family?

>No I don't care, because I realize that there is substantial overlap between races

So?

>I think looking at individuals as individuals is an important component of loving your neighbor that some of you need to look into

I think "mongrels will not go to heaven" is an important component of the bible that you need to look into.

>>6055

>I think "mongrels will not go to heaven" is an important component of the bible that you need to look into.

there's no such component

>>6055

>mongrels will not go to heaven

Ok you're just being edgy

>>6057

>>6059

You heathens seriously never read the bible? Deuteronomy 23:2

>>6068

The assembly of the Lord in Deuteronomy is not heaven

>>6068

some of you faggots are as bad as the SJWs who try and read the bible as accepting homosexuality

assembly of the lord refers to an earthly assembly and foreigners and mixed race kids were allowed into the assembly - eg. King David who was 1/4 Moabite due to his ancestor Ruth

https://hermeneutics.stackexchange.com/questions/503/what-does-the-assembly-of-the-lord-refer-to

>>6074

To elaborate - Jew was never a racial category, not to the Jews back then and not to the Jews today. All you had to do to be a Jew was to convert to judaism

>>6076

I'm going to keep going with this because it gets even better

“One of illegitimate birth shall not enter the assembly of the LORD; even to the tenth generation none of his descendants shall enter the assembly of the LORD. 3 “An Ammonite or Moabite shall not enter the assembly of the LORD; even to the tenth generation none of his descendants shall enter the assembly of the LORD forever,

so 23:2 doesn't even refer to foreigners or mixed marriages, it refers to bastard children - 23:3 refers to Moabites but obviously excludes Moabites who converted to judaism considering King David's Moabite great grandmother Ruth)

>>6070

>>6074

>quoting jews

Seriously? Yes, it is absolutely heaven.

>King David who was 1/4 Moabite due to his ancestor Ruth

That isn't mixed race, they are the same race.

>>6076

Jew didn't exist, it is a modern creation. Judeans absolutely were an ethnic group. They have nothing to do with kikes, who are converts to pharisaism/talmudism.

>>6077

>so 23:2 doesn't even refer to foreigners or mixed marriages, it refers to bastard children

Quoting a kike translation is putting lies into the mouth of God. There's a commandment against doing that remember? The hebrew word used is "mamzer". It literally means mongrel. You can tell not only from all the other ancient hebrew texts using it as mongrel, including in the context of livestock which do not get married and so can not be bastards, but because it is used in another place in the bible: Zechariah 9:6. "And a mongrel race will dwell in Ashdod". This is why it is for 10 generations, that's how long it takes to breed out enough of the race mixing to be normal again. The KJV is 100% kikery, read the actual bible. There's lots of hebrew and greek study guides to help you.

>>6096

> Yes, it is absolutely heaven.

No it isn't, it was a physical assembly for worshipping God before death.

Even if it did mean heaven, you would have to think that the rule has now been reversed. Deuteronomy 23 also forbids entry of certain nations into the assembly, but the great commission and the revelation to John instruct and prophesy that the gospel goes to every nation.

The Samaritan woman at the well directly disproves your conclusion. She was mixed race as a Samaritan, but she was saved by faith in Jesus.

What about the Ethiopian eunuch? Deuteronomy 23:1 would forbid him from the assembly, but in the NT we see that he was saved and is therefore in heaven.

Conclusion: the assembly of deut 23 is not heaven

>>6099

>you would have to think that the rule has now been reversed.

No I wouldn't.

>Deuteronomy 23 also forbids entry of certain nations into the assembly, but the great commission and the revelation to John instruct and prophesy that the gospel goes to every nation.

Those nations don't exist any more.

>She was mixed race as a Samaritan, but she was saved by faith in Jesus.

Samaritans were not mixed race, they were an ethnic group.

>but in the NT we see that he was saved and is therefore in heaven.

No we don't. We see that he converts.

>>6105

Address the eunuch issue. Deut 23:1 forbids eunuchs from entering the assembly, but the Ethiopian eunuch in Acts 8 is saved.

How do you reconcile the two?

>>6105

Also, samaritans were absolutely mixed race. They were a mix between Israelites and outside pagan nations, and they were recognizable by sight.

>>6106

There is nothing to reconcile. He is not saved. He is taught because being a nigger he can't understand what he reads. He then converts. Nothing indicates he is saved or goes to heaven.

>>6107

And your basis for this claim is what? Your feelings again?

>>6123

>Did Philip not know how salvation worked either?

He did as he was told. It says nothing about him expecting noballs to be saved.

>Why did the spirit put him there if that's the case?

I am not God, I can not tell you why he did anything unless he stated his reason.

>Your entire case is very inconsistent

"The bible is inconsistent if I don't like what it says". Nice argument Shlomo.

>he Samaritans were visibly not Israelites, so they were either mixed or an entire separate race from Israel, neither of which is compatible with your position since the Samaritan woman is saved.

What are you talking about? Being another race is perfectly compatible. Being a mongrel is not.

>I'd like to see any serious case otherwise from your side.

What is not serious about the bible directly stating "NO MONGRELS FOR 10 GENERATIONS"?

>>6131

You're making God inconsistent by concluding that the spirit behaves nonsensically.

Answer, what kind of church do you go to?

I'm in agreement that mongrels were forbidden from the assembly, and that we can conclude from this that it is negative to be (and thereby produce) mongrels, but the assembly here simply isn't heaven.

Let's remember what the role of Deuteronomy is, it's a second statement of the law. These are the things that Israel needed to obey God on. Does that even make sense if this meant heaven? What could a man do to keep someone from heaven? It was obviously referring to the physical assembly of worshipping the Lord there.

I'm really only bothering to respond to you for the sake of other readers who might not know why you're full of shit.

>>6096

Mamzer doesn't mean mongrel

it means someone born of illegitmate union, including incetious marraiges, born out of adultery or born to a Jewish father and heathen mother (ie that specifically not the other way around - as in born to a Jewish mother and heathen father or born of the mixing of two seperate races

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mamzer

Your definitions and interpretations are too self serving to be the product of legitimate Christian though

>>6134

>You're making God inconsistent by concluding that the spirit behaves nonsensically.

I am doing nothing of the sort.

>Answer, what kind of church do you go to?

You can't go to a church, we are the church.

>What could a man do to keep someone from heaven?

It doesn't say "you need to keep mongrels out of heaven", it says "mongrels will not go to heaven".

>>6135

>oy vey! the goyim are knowing! listen to (((wikipedia))) not a dictionary!

>>6139

>You can't go to a church, we are the church.

Equivocation. The local church exists in addition to the catholic church, and you're sinning by forsaking your assembling with fellow believers. It shows in your theology by your novel conclusions that you didn't receive it from a careful teacher and you haven't worked it out (iron sharpening iron) with brothers.

>>6142

>Equivocation

No.

>The local church exists in addition to the catholic church

The catholic church is a satanic corporation, it has nothing to do with the the church, as laid out in scripture.

>and you're sinning by forsaking your assembling with fellow believers

I am doing nothing of the sort. We assemble exactly as the bible says to. You are the one forsaking assembly. Sitting in a corporate office listening to one of satan's minions spout lies at you while you do nothing is not how Christian assembly is described in the bible.

>It shows in your theology by your novel conclusions

They are not novel, they have been the standard understanding for centuries. Only in the last century has the kike rule over "churches" made idiots like you believe "faggots are fine" and "abortion is ok" and "race mixing is good" are biblical.

>>6139

>All the sources that interpret Hebrew words don't count cuz dey were written by Joos

>only I a non jewish non Hebrew speaker can properly interpret Hebrew words

nigga wut?

I call shenanigans, name your denomination or the hierarchical body which your church belongs to so we can look up whether there is actually a denomination or church that shares your views - because right now I'm not buying your story

>>5945

God never intended to create races.

Race is a human invention.

Human's lustful attachment to it's own race is of his flesh.

God is spirit and not flesh and the way you look infront of God He cares not about what's only out side.

Remember the story where God cursed Moses's sister with leprosy for hating on his ethiopian wife.

>>6149

>1

No what? That's equivocation, you're using a different meaning of a word to pivot the argument.

>2

So you are going to an assembly? I guess you're the one saying the assembly should be your family, right?

The word ekklesia is translated church, but is literally assembly remember.

>3

I'm not at all arguing that faggotry, abortion, or miscegenation are anything other than sin. Stay on topic, that's a strawman.

>>6153

Jews are not Hebrews dumbass. They are converts to talmudism, and until 100 years ago spoke Yiddish. They co-opted the language and identity of the (extinct) Hebrews in order to demand Palestine.

>>6156

>That's equivocation, you're using a different meaning of a word to pivot the argument.

No I am not. Repeating lies does not make an argument.

>I guess you're the one saying the assembly should be your family, right?

Of course you should assemble with your family. But that is not enough.

>Stay on topic, that's a strawman.

No it is not, captain fedora. It is a statement of support for what I told you. I am using the same understanding every christian has had for centuries. Just as we always understood that faggotry was a sin, we always understood race mixing was a sin. You are the one who has latched on to a very new understanding, offered by blasphemers to con Christians into accepting and promoting sin.

>>6184

You are so frustrating and we're so off track

WHY does what you're doing not constitute equivocation? You're the one not providing an argument

There's someone else around here with the idea that your local church should be your family and I thought you may be him since you're apparently rejecting church attendance. Was that not what you're doing? I'm having to play the guessing game because all you're doing is calling everyone else wrong without giving the alternative.

I am NOT supporting miscegenation. Is that a new vocabulary word for you or something? You're accusing me of a position that I DONT HOLD so you can avoid what we're talking about, that makes this a strawman. I'm in an argument about your application of Deuteronomy 23, which you are simply pivoting away from without addressing at all. Is this because you can't? That's what has to be assumed if you can't provide answers.

Just take a few more seconds and read what I say before you reply you smoothbrain. I'm really starting do doubt that you have median white IQ.

>>6188

>WHY does what you're doing not constitute equivocation?

I just told you. I am not using a different meaning.

>since you're apparently rejecting church attendance.

No, I am rejecting your blasphemous re-definition of "church" to mean "a corporation that promotes satanic values" rather than the biblical definition "a group of Christians".

>I'm in an argument about your application of Deuteronomy 23

You have not made an argument.

>which you are simply pivoting away from without addressing at all

Just because you pitch a fit and innocuous statements I make does not mean I am pivoting. You are the one getting distracted by the fact that I am a Christian.

>That's what has to be assumed if you can't provide answers.

To what? I answered you already.

But it's up to the person and their personal standards regarding race mixing. The bible never discourages this.

>>7914

Composition fallacy

>>7914

It's a sickness of the soul of many modern Christians. The likely cause is the perversion of the faith due to leftism and the increased sway of women. It's all been feminized.

God's people? That's idolatry. God's people are Christians. Still doesn't give rando negro the right to force himself onto the White community any more than randos have a right to abuse him for no reason. Also there's no reason churches need to be integrated, though it must be strictly allowed for any Christian in good standing to visit any church.

>>8038

>That's idolatry

What?

>God's people are Christians

God's people are the Israelites. White people. Everyone can be saved through Christ. That doesn't erase the Old Testament.

>though it must be strictly allowed for any Christian in good standing to visit any church.

What is your scriptural basis for such a bizarre notion?

>>8061

>God's people are the Israelites. White people.

Whichever contemporary racial group is descended from ancient Israel, one becomes a member of "God's people" by faith.

>He came to His own, and those who were His own did not receive Him.

>But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, even to those who believe in His name, (Jn. 1:11-12 NAS)

See also Romans 3.

Black people, just like Greek gentiles, can be children of God by belief.

>>8061

>>8062

I notice that you don't object to the conclusion that blacks can be saved. I'm only arguing that the term "God's people" should also be extended to them as with all Christians, since we're the children of Abraham through that faith.

>>8063

>I'm only arguing that the term "God's people" should also be extended to them

Why? The bible is 100% clear, the Israelites are God's people.

>since we're the children of Abraham through that faith

No. You don't magically become a child of Abraham by faith. And it is debatable whether or not niggers are even humans, or if they fall under the general terms usually translated as "beasts".

>>8072

>You don't magically become a child of Abraham by faith.

Therefore, be sure that it is those who are of faith who are sons of Abraham. (Gal. 3:7 NAS)

>And it is debatable whether or not niggers are even humans

Let's debate it then. Here's an argument that they are human: white men who we agree are human can procreate with them. What say you?

>>8077

>(Gal. 3:7 NAS)

What do you think that means? Try reading the original greek and see if it actually says what you think it is supposed to mean.

http://www.christianisrael.org/seed.php

>Here's an argument that they are human: white men who we agree are human can procreate with them. What say you?

That's not an argument, it is just a random statement. Lots of different species can interbreed. The argument is that there were 8 souls saved on the ark. Negros still exist. Negros must have been on the ark. Yet only Noah's family had souls. Obviously negros were among the beasts.

>>8081

Jews are not God's people, whites are. There is absolutely no relation between ancient Israel and jews. All yids are descendants of people who converted to talmudism. Ashkenazi are Khazars, so named because the king of Khazaria said his people trace their lineage to Ashkenaz. White people are God's people, that is why we are Christian.

http://www.christianisrael.org/

>>8118

You didn't link to an exposition of Galatians 3:7.

It means what it reads, those who are of the faith are sons of Abraham.

>That's not an argument, it is just a random statement. Lots of different species can interbreed.

The argument I'm putting forward is that ability to interbreed is a marker of common humanity.

>>8118

I almost completely agree with you, except that everyone is God's people. There is no exception for God's people.

>Galatians 3:28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, slave nor free, male nor female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus. 29 And if you belong to Christ, then you are Abraham’s seed and heirs according to the promise.

>>8029

“[T]he confused species which God did not create, which were the result of amalgamation, were destroyed by the flood. Since the flood there has been amalgamation of man and beast, as may be seen in the almost endless varieties of species of animals, and in certain races of men.”

- Ellen G. White

>>5945

your viewpoint is called racialism

people who don't believe in race mixing

>>8125

the beast part is just selective breeding

the human part in her day would just have been sub-species mating as humans were not separated that long we can all mate and produce offspring

"before the flood" would be true "amalgamation" all sorts of repulsive creatures like centaurs etc

today and only today ellen white's amalgamation is truly possible with gene editing

people believe the earth was flooded to kill off what we are now again experimenting with

>>8121

>You didn't link to an exposition of Galatians 3:7.

Yes I did, it just explains more than just 7, ending up all the way at 29.

>The argument I'm putting forward is that ability to interbreed is a marker of common humanity.

That isn't an argument. Where does the bible say if you can breed with it then it is human? How do you explain the 8 souls if negroes are human?

>>8124

So, God is wrong because Paul said so? That's the argument? Wouldn't it be more likely that you are misunderstanding Paul? This seems particularly likely since Paul did not say anything about jews, he said Judean. And while we are at it, are negroes Judeans or Hellenic?

>>8154

God's word is right. Why are you against Paul? being against pieces of the bible is very Muslim. It is strange that the bible never talks about whites and their biological supremacy.

>>8156

>God's word is right

Exactly.

>Why are you against Paul?

Huh?

>It is strange that the bible never talks about whites and their biological supremacy.

Have you considered reading it?

>>8154

>Where does the bible say if you can breed with it then it is human?

It doesn't, that's a biological claim I'm making.

> How do you explain the 8 souls if negroes are human?

I'm not familiar with this argument. Do you mean the eight souls who were saved through water according to 1 Peter 3? Those eight were Noah and his family on the ark.

>>8156

you're begging the question

>>8159

>It doesn't, that's a biological claim I'm making.

Biology doesn't say that either. As I said, lots of different species can interbreed.

>Those eight were Noah and his family on the ark.

Right. So there were only 8 humans on the ark. The negroes were among the beasts on the ark, with the chimps and gorillas.

>>8162

The taxonomy of animal kinds is not divinely ordained.

Following your model, why can it not be true that the different races should be considered different species, but that all are still human?

>Right. So there were only 8 humans on the ark. The negroes were among the beasts on the ark, with the chimps and gorillas.

Conjecture. How do you account for the fact that the negro is obviously more closely related to the white man than to any type of chimp or gorilla?

Which species of chimp or gorilla are you claiming are the direct ancestors of the negro? You're not, because you're just blowing smoke.

>>8164

>Following your model, why can it not be true that the different races should be considered different species, but that all are still human?

You want to define human as "humans plus any apes that can talk"?

>Conjecture

No, scripture. Again, the bible is 100% clear. There were 8 souls on the ark. So only Noah's descendants have souls, so only Noah's descendants are human.

>Which species of chimp or gorilla are you claiming are the direct ancestors of the negro?

None. What is this evolutionist nonsense? The Lord created the negro and the chimpanzee and the orangutan exactly as he wanted them to be.

>>8158

>Huh?

>>So, God is wrong because Paul said so?

It sounded like you were against paul, guess i was wrong.

>Have you considered reading it?

I'm in the process of reading it, i study the stories in the bible and separate quotes.

>>8159

>you're begging the question

Isn't it true that whites are biologically superior though?

>>8165

>You want to define human as "humans plus any apes that can talk"?

I'm waiting for you to give an adequate definition that percludes negroes. I gave a basic definition: capable of procreation with assuredly human creatures (whites).

>No, scripture. Again, the bible is 100% clear. There were 8 souls on the ark. So only Noah's descendants have souls, so only Noah's descendants are human.

the conjecture is your conclusion that negroes are descended from animals.

>What is this evolutionist nonsense?

You're the one implying evolution by claiming that the negro evolved from animals on the ark. I was supposing your line of reasoning for the sake of argument.

>>8169

>It sounded like you were against paul

No, I presented the logical conclusion of your belief. If you think that Paul is saying humans and negroes are equal, then you think Paul is contradicting God, and God is wrong and Paul is right. Since God is not wrong, the obvious conclusion is that you misunderstand Paul.

>>8170

>I'm waiting for you to give an adequate definition that percludes negroes

Have souls.

>the conjecture is your conclusion that negroes are descended from animals.

They are not descended from them, they are them. What else could they be? They are not humans since they have no souls, but they exist so they had to be on the ark with all the other beasts.

>You're the one implying evolution by claiming that the negro evolved from animals on the ark

What are you babbling about? I said negroes were beasts on the ark.

>>8176

Prove that they do not have souls. That seems to be the crux of your argument.

>I said negroes were beasts on the ark.

nevermind then, I misunderstood

>>8176

Galatians 3:28 is often misinterpreted to people thinking it means we're all equal, but we're clearly not, it just means we're all united in God. Where does it say that blacks and whites aren't equal in the bible?

>>8177

>Prove that they do not have souls.

I already did. There were only 8 souls on the ark. So the negroes on the ark did not have souls, just as the chimps and gorillas did not. You think God just decided to give negroes souls thousands of years later without mentioning it?

>Where does it say that blacks and whites aren't equal in the bible?

Where it says whites are God's children, and blacks are only mentioned as beasts.

>>8185

Prove that they are not descended from Noah and his family

>>8019

>I don't find attractive

Like I said, pride/lust.

>>8187

People can't just magically turn black and have their brains shrink. Why would that even happen in your insane evolutionist fantasy land?

>>7914

>>5969

/pol/ and /b/ arent the only boards with anti-white shills

>>8191

I am not defending macroevolution, but the differences between the current races are absolutely possible with standard system that migration of peoples caused different racial characteristics to manifest in the millenia between now and Noah. We see it in just a few generations, and even more dramatically with intentional breeding of animal species like breeds of dogs.

Like I say, you are engaging in conjecture. You are setting up a series of false assumptions that point to your speculative answer to seem the only rational choice, not being directed firstly by sound hermeneutics of the Bible and the scientific method.

>>8019

you have bad taste

>>8019

As a white man, I think black women are much more attractive than white women. I regularly masturbate to fantasies of being enslaved and humiliated by a black dominatrix. Black women are beautiful with their wonderful chocolate skin and beautiful faces. I hope to have a black woman myself one day.

>>8197

>but the differences between the current races are absolutely possible with standard system that migration of peoples caused different racial characteristics to manifest in the millenia between now and Noah.

Explain it then. What cause the massive genetic difference between humans and negroes? Why did negroes become so much stupider?

>We see it in just a few generations

No we don't. We've had more than a few generations of white people since photography, and nobody has turned black and retarded.

>>8203

>What cause the massive genetic difference between humans and negroes? Why did negroes become so much stupider?

Different, dumber ancestors who didn't practice eugenics to produce steadily superior offspring like Europeans have.

>We've had more than a few generations of white people since photography, and nobody has turned black and retarded.

No you goof, I'm not saying one generation suddenly and anomalously becomes another race. I'm saying that genetics are hereditary and the population changes based on who reproduces with who. Why are Russians and Mediterraneans so dissimilar? Because they developed independently of one another from some point in the ancient past after the tower of Babel.

>You are disregarding scripture. Either you believe in the bible or you do not. If you do not, then this conversation is pointless.

Fallacious line of reasoning. I am not disregarding scripture. I affirm the inerrancy of scripture. Your role in our debate is to prove how your view is exclusively consistent with scripture, and I'm asking you very directly for your supporting evidence only to be met with conjecture.

Let me present my position very succinctly:

All humans have souls

Blacks are human

Therefore,

Blacks have souls.

We know that blacks are human because they satisfy every reasonable test of humanity. We are not arguing equality in any aspect.

They have every organ that you do. They are capable of speech. They sleep at night and eat in the morning. They are capable of moral action. They can hear the gospel and respond with a confession of believing on Jesus Christ as Lord.

This fits into the Biblical model of the origin of races just as with any other race of man, and we don't need to have an exhaustive answer on their lineage all the way to Adam to prove it. There are fine theories about which tribe went where, but that is beyond our discussion.

It is obvious to any neutral observer that you began with the premise that the negro is inhuman and worked backwards to fit your belief into the text. This is called eisegesis, and it demonstrates that you are the one holding scripture in a low view.

>>8205

>Different, dumber ancestors

But your argument is that we share the same ancestors.

>produce steadily superior offspring like Europeans have.

What makes you think we did that? How are we better than Noah?

>I'm saying that genetics are hereditary and the population changes based on who reproduces with who.

And yet there's no evidence of this at all.

>Why are Russians and Mediterraneans so dissimilar?

Because "Mediterraneans" ancestors sinned and fornicated with beasts of the field.

>I am not disregarding scripture

Yes you are. You continue to ignore scripture and say "well my feelings don't like that". You just declare "oh well negroes evolved from Noah because magic". You have no explanation for how or why that would occur, nor why such a profound change is not mentioned anywhere in the bible, or any other writing ever in all of history.

>We know that blacks are human because they satisfy every reasonable test of humanity

You are just making baseless assertions. In reality, we know negroes are not human as they do not behave like humans, they do not have the intellectual capacity of humans, they do not know God or have morals, they do not have souls. They are beasts, as the bible says.

>They have every organ that you do

So do most mammals.

>They can hear the gospel and respond with a confession of believing on Jesus Christ as Lord.

No they don't. A tiny number of them adopt pieces of dogma from various corporations.

>It is obvious to any neutral observer that you began with the premise that the negro is inhuman and worked backwards to fit your belief into the text.

Quite the contrary. I am going on what is 100% clear and indisputable from the bible. You are starting from the premise that negroes are human, and making all kinds of crazy assumptions about ridiculous devolution to try to dismiss scripture.

>>8251

Jeremiah 31:

"After those days, says Yahweh, I will put My Law in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts; and I will be their God, and they shall be My people."

2 Samuel 7:

"And I will appoint a place for My people Israel, and will plant them so that they may dwell in a place of their own, and move no more. Neither shall the sons of wickedness afflict them any more, as before."

1 Chronicles 17:

"And I will set a place for My people Israel, and will plant them, and they shall live in their place and shall be moved no more; nor shall the sons of wickedness waste them any more, as at the beginning"

The bible is very clear, over and over again. The people of Israel are God's people. You reject this fact because you have bought into the kike lie that yids are the people of Israel and you don't like that idea. But they are not. The people of Israel were described as having fair skin, ruddy complexions and blond hair. Pilate said Jesus had blond hair, darker than his mother's due to the sun. We are God's people, and we are being punished for rejecting him again. White people were the ones who accepted our Savior. White people are the ones who had 1500 years of glory under Christ. White people are the Israelites the Christ was sent to save. The creatures that call themselves jews are 3 different ethnic groups, all of which converted to the satanic religion of talmudism, and none of which are descended from Israel.

I understand how you feel after being barred from a church you go to for two years OP, all I can say about it is if you have any friends or dating interests from that don’t mind your views on race then try to keep contact with them. Other than that all I can say find another church if you still want to go to church and when regarding miscegenation just state your views as personal preferences and don’t stop anyone who want to engage in such things and only warn about the behavioral traits that an individual may or does express without mentioning their race if intervention is needed

>>5945

I have always thought that marriage properly should be grounded in a sense of duty towards others rather than the desires of the people getting involved. A good marriage should first consider if it is pleasing to God, then it should be pleasing the families of the people intending to marry each other, and after that it should be fruitful and pleasing to the community as a whole. Race mixing destabilizes communities and is often pursued by one or both parties to dishonor their parents. Race mixing purely in of itself isn't sinful, but it is often the result of the desire to sin, either out of lust or the desire to spire one's family or etc.

If the promotion or toleration of race mixing detracts from your spiritual growth I would recommend seeking a different congregation. It is nothing to be ashamed of. If other Christians judge you for valuing racial purity recite Romans 14 to them.

>>12087

Brah… I don't even know where to start…

Like, your stuff regarding Israel not mixing with the Canaanites is pretty problematic considering "they literally mix with gentiles" in multiple places and God approves of it, thus proving that you can't claim that Canaanite=Gentile.

Moses married a Midianite. Joshua married Rahab. Boaz married Ruth. Taking this even a step farther, Jesus' lineage has Tamar, Rahab, and Ruth in it. Are you now telling me that Jesus' lineage is tainted?

Now, onto your Genesis 6 insanity. "Where in the world" do you get your interpretation that the "sons of God" are Adam and his descendants? How do you get around the fact that, in Hebrew, daughters "of man" is literally daughters "ha-adam," which is directly translated, "of adam"? If these women are not "of adam," even though the text literally says that, where'd they come from?

"Nephilim" actually comes from the root word naphal which means "to fall," which would make considerable sense if the Sons of God who made these Nephilim Fell in some way, shape or form. Maybe from heaven? Who knows! Enoch claims it's true but that's not cannon, so we'll just pat him on the head and move on. Either way, it's not "foreign people." The most divergent interpretation that I've heard was by a prominent scholar who's studied this longer than we've been alive (the guy's 80+) and he argues that the "sons of God" is a reference to the kings of the earth, because all of the ancient kings would talk about themselves as sons of their gods (One king sent out an edict that declared he was the son of over 300 gods. That guy's exceptional, but seriously, pretty much every king in this era of history claimed they were of divine lineage). So, this guy then argues that what we're seeing here is polygamy. The kings of the earth, who have power, see lots of beautiful women and take all of them as wives. This then angered God because that's not His vision for marriage and as these men lived for 500 years+ they simply got more and more evil as they feasted on their own fleshly desires. Therefore, God had to wipe em out, and this is why God then puts a cap on the human lifespan. So, the problem wasn't the nephilim. The problem was men and women living so long and that allowing their evil to grow to immense depths. That's why it literally says, "Lord saw that the wickedness of man was great on the earth, and that every intent of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually." The problem wasn't, "Wow, they're having sex with other people," but rather, "They're all indulging in sin and not even time is currently keeping their sinful thoughts from growing perfect."

To answer your last point, we only call them giants because of the few that are pointed out in Samuel's day. That's at least 2000 years later. With the way language evolves, it would be easy for people to have read "The sons of God," assume that's divine, and then when they see a giant they go, "Woah. That must be what Genesis 6 is talking about." Therein, they're misinterpreting Genesis 6 and their misinterpretation got recorded in the Text. (Just like all of the Pharisees accusations against Jesus got recorded in the Text. This doesn't invalidate the Word. Rather, it honors it for what it is: a book crafted by God that is true to what occurred.)

>>5976

Considering the numerous times the old testament warns against miscegenation, and the numerous times prominent figures in Christianity had wives of a different race, I think miscegenation should generally be frowned upon but not altogether prohibited. Under certain circumstances I think it's okay, but other times not so much. Exactly what those circumstances are, I'm not sure.

>>12090

>your stuff regarding Israel not mixing with the Canaanites is pretty problematic

>Moses married a Midianite. Joshua married Rahab. Boaz married Ruth. Taking this even a step farther, Jesus' lineage has Tamar, Rahab, and Ruth in it.

Prescriptive will vs sovereign decree. We're called to operate on the basis of the former, not the latter. Through our sin, God still fulfills his good ends. There are countless hybrid races out there and obviously they exist for a reason. That doesn't mean would should endeavor to generate more or enlarge the existing ones.

Deuteronomy 20:16,17

>Only in the cities of these peoples that the Lord your God is giving you as an inheritance, you shall not leave alive anything that breathes.

>But you shall utterly destroy them, the Hittite and the Amorite, the Canaanite and the Perizzite, the Hivite and the Jebusite, as the Lord your God has commanded you

God also commanded the Israelites to completely annihilate the Canaanites. Has God contradicted himself?

>"sons of God" are Adam and his descendants?

What do you say they are?

>If these women are not "of adam," even though the text literally says that, where'd they come from?

They are descendents of Adam. So were the sons of God.

>"Nephilim" actually comes from the root word naphal which means "to fall,"

There's disagreement on that, but it's neither here nor there. The earliest sources all translate the term to mean giants. Heck, what about the rest of the verse?

>Those were the mighty men who were of old, men of renown.

What made them mighty?

>Either way, it's not "foreign people."

Then why does the writer see fit to so strongly differentiate between the two groups? How exactly does one "come in to the daughters of men" if one is already among them?

>he argues that the "sons of God" is a reference to the kings of the earth

That's a new one to me. Source please?

>One king sent out an edict that declared he was the son of over 300 gods.

You're telling me we have still-intact antediluvian royal decrees? Or are you trying to anachronistically apply Bronze Age royal tendencies to rulers in Noah's day? You realize that most of the people alive would have known Adam, right? Maybe not personally, but still. If a bunch of self-important hooligans were running around claiming to be God's sons, don't you think Adam would have weighed in on it before he died? And don't you think the word of the guy that named all the animals and happens to be everyone's greatest grandpa and eldest relative might've had some sway with his many grandchildren?

>So, this guy then argues that what we're seeing here is polygamy.

>This then angered God because that's not His vision for marriage

Okay, but then why did God gift David with a bunch of wives later on if he had already revealed to man the true nature of marriage? If we were talking about something post-resurrection, then that argument would have legs, but not before God even issued laws about this stuff.

>>12089

>I mostly like the Saints setup and the feeling…

Yeah, that's pretty much what Roman Catholicism is all about. The pretty buildings, the sense of grandeur and tradition are the main draws. But if you're looking for something consistent, you won't find it there. That's the problem.

>>12095

>Exactly what those circumstances are, I'm not sure.

The cutoff criteria seems to be based on similarity. Too dissimilar = outbreeding. It can result in all of the same problems that one gets when inbreeding. So as long as the parties in question are sufficiently similar, there's no biological danger to a Ukrainian marrying a Swede or a Pakistani marrying an Indian.

Ultimately, Christianity is supposed to be about finding salvation through Christ. It's not about temporal causes that don't influence your salvation, and may hinder it anyway because it tempts you to judge and criticize those around you (who believe differently). There is no real such thing as legacy- we'll all be dead and forgotten in 2 generations or so. Beliefs aren't a heritable thing either. Future generations will procreate with whoever they please, and you won't be able to have a say in the matter because you'll be dead. Your "work" can be undone with one person and your bloodline could change overnight- so what are you really fighting for? Will you ever accomplish anything lasting or are you relying on too many "ifS"? Rather run your own race.

>This article actually breaks it all down quite well http://www.evidenceunseen.com/bible-difficulties-2/ot-difficulties/genesis-deuteronomy/gen-64-who-or-what-were-the-nephilim/

It's Walter Kaiser (Citation 7) who I heard in person when he explained his view.

>Don't you think the word of the guy that named all the animals and happens to be everyone's greatest grandpa and eldest relative might've had some sway with his many grandchildren?

Actually, I seriously doubt that they would have listened to him considering he's the original person who seriously learned the "don't sin" lesson, meaning that he would have preached a "don't sin" lesson until he died, yet everyone was so busy sinning that it entirely consumed them. Noah, who Peter says preached righteousness, appears to have been the only person who would have listened to Adam.

> Those were the mighty men who were of old, men of renown.What made them mighty?

Well, if you look into mythology, you find that the "mighty men of old," tend to be demigods, half-god half-human spawn, virtually always spawned by a male god inseminating a female human rather than a female god giving birth to the child of a human male. So, this part of it actually reinforces the idea that these spawn were children of some sort of divine beings. That's why I skipped it, I didn't want to hit that argument, but that's the way that part of the verse comes in. That verse is especially problematic if we're thinking mixed-children because mixed-kids aren't any mightier than normal kids.

> Then why does the writer see fit to so strongly differentiate between the two groups? How exactly does one "come in to the daughters of men" if one is already among them?

Read the article I gave as a source and it'll help. But, even just looking to the Old Testament, we find another of the most ancient texts of the Bible, Job, utilizing the phrase "sons of God" to refer to divine begins in 1:6 and 2:1 (wherein Satan is included. Whether or not you want to decide if he's an actual person or an idea is up to you. But whoever this "adversary" [direct translation of the Hebrew word] is, he's one of the sons of God who's summoned in to come before the throne of God without dying, which Exodus 33:20 says is impossible for men to do), and in 38 where a plurality of these Sons are present during the creation of the world, before Adam was formed. (I'm not trying to say you should believe this view, I'm just saying it's the most Biblical view of a very minor, minor topic, and at the least, your view is not tenable from the text.)

> Okay, but then why did God gift David with a bunch of wives later on if he had already revealed to man the true nature of marriage? If we were talking about something post-resurrection, then that argument would have legs, but not before God even issued laws about this stuff.

2 Samuel 12:8 is a cultural reference, and even beyond that, the wives are /highly/ relevant considering God is actively rebuking David for taking another man's wife.

1. The cultural reference is that, when one king would kill another king, he'd take his wives. Having the royal wives was like having the throne. This is why Adonijah tries to get Abishag the Shunammite as a wife and Solomon kills him for it (1 kings 2). If you have the wives, you have the kingdom, if you don't have the wives, you don't have the kingdom. God isn't specifying, "I gave you lots of women," as much as he's saying, "I gave you the kingdom, I can give you more, why on earth did you do this?"

2. Even on top of that cultural reference, God is even then saying, "You have multiple women. How could to dare to commit adultery and then kill a man for his wife when you have so many at home?"

3. We know all of this because God cannot contradict Himself and he specifies in Deut. 17 that the king Must not multiply wives for himself. (There's a variety of ways that David sins and God's forgiveness is in no way endorsement. This is why David is one of the greatest examples for us in the Old Testament. He wasn't perfect. Rather, he was quick to repent. We too must be quick to Genuinely repent.)

Going back to the Canaanites

> God also commanded the Israelites to completely annihilate the Canaanites. Has God contradicted himself?

There's actually a lot to get into about Joshua and the literary genre that it is. But, putting that aside, we don't technically know for a fact that Rahab was Canaanite, just that she wasn't Hebrew. Further, she gives a pretty strong, "YHWH is the true God" speech to the spies, akin to the, "May my your God be my God and your people be my people," that Ruth spoke, so it could be that God considered her part of the Jewish people because of her confession of faith (seeing as Paul argues that inclusion into the true Israel has always been about faith, ever since Abraham).

Any more questions?

>>12108

>Your "work" can be undone with one person and your bloodline could change overnight- so what are you really fighting for?

The reason you're white, black, Han, Japanese, Abo, Eskimo, or whatever, is because for thousands of years your ancestors bred within a limited group. Every once in awhile a deviant will break off and form its own pack, so to speak, but by and large people overwhelmingly breed within their own group and continue to do so consistently. Also if you're doing what God said, being fruitful and multiplying, then one branch on your tree breaking off isn't going to "undo" your line. God has put powerful instincts into place to prevent the mixing of the races. If he didn't, then where did these forces come from?

>>8019

>Because I'm black and don't find black women attractive

>I'm mixed and feel the same. Plus, they come with a whole lot of attitude problems and I'm in no mood for that.

Guys… Real talk. First of all, yes, women of any race come with their own particular "attitudes", thought patterns, and behavior patterns… But the big problem with modern black women, socially speaking, is the same problem that is afflicting many white women, creating feminists. Agenda-driven Jews have systematically destroyed the black family unit with government handouts and all-out cultural attack through the media. They do it to whites too, but with different messages.

Let me be very clear: I do not hate you, nor do I bear you ill will. To the contrary, I want you to be happy. To find real happiness, you need to find a decent woman of your own race. They are out there, I've met them, and I promise you that they can make you happier than a woman of any other race possibly could because they share the instincts which compliment your own as a man.

Instead of trying to leave your people, build your people. If you are really of a higher moral character than other members of your race, then now is the time that they need you the most. Don't abandon them. Be an example for them to strive toward. Heaven knows that young black men in America have a shortage of strong, black father figures to lead them.

>>12123

You realize that marrying outside of your "race" doesn't mean you've left your race, right? Like, you can be a "strong, black father figure," even if you've married a white, asian, or hispanic chick.

> However I will respond to his objections to the traditional view that "sons of God" refers to Seth's lineage.

As I expressed in my earlier post, this is actually a conversation I wanted to avoid. However, if you insist, I'll talk it out with you

1. Solid point, which is why I didn't say I totally agreed with the article, I just referenced it for greater knowledge and so you could see where I got the source you requested. Furthermore, if "men" in verses 1 and 2 is only the sons of Cain, then why doesn't it stay that way throughout the whole chapter? If it does, then why is it that God's limitation of 120 years on the sons of Cain affects everyone?

2. Where do you get the idea that the sons of Seth were big bois? Like, you really gotta read that into the text, considering the sons of God aren't spoken of as giants, only their children.

3. I'm glad you noticed the connection between Jude and 2 Peter 2 but you have two things you have to work with on that. (1) Both Jude and 2 Peter 2 are eluding to Enoch (Feel free to go check it out. I'm not saying it's cannon, but it's a text that influenced their writing) (2) The bigger issue, as it's textual, is the inclusio that Peter uses with the word God [Theos]. Peter states it first in verse 4 and then again at the end of 5, bracketing the concepts in-between together (This is actually how the Greek language works. It's really cool stuff. Kinda wish we could emphasize like this in English). So, stated clearly, Peter's putting "angels who sinned" into the Noah story by utilizing the inclusio. [If Peter didn't want to emphasize this, he could have continued to refer to God as "he," as Peter normally does, he could have utilized the term "Lord," or he could have written it in the opposite direction, "God - Angels - God - Noah" [The second half could have been as simple of a change as, "And God did not spare," but he could have even flipped the entire second verse around, "and when God brought the flood he did not spare the entire world but for Noah and seven others." So, textually, Peter's intentionally bracketing the Angels and Noah together

> Actually I was referring to the several women in 1 Chronicles 3

Where in 1 Chronicles 3 does it say that God gave those women to him so that he'd marry all of them?

>1 Chronicles 3

Since you brought it up: If you are to claim that God gave him all of those wives because it was good to marry all of them, what do you do with the fact that a lot of them are foreign? The most prominent being "Maacah, the daughter of Talmai king of Geshur"? Like, I don't agree with you that that passage says God gave those women to David, which is how you're arguing that God isn't anti-polygamy, but if I were to, I then immediately an argument that God promotes the mixing of races

> Well said, therefore Exodus 21:10

You're completely missing the point of that passage. It's entirely about protecting women, which is why the first wife can legally leave if the man isn't still taking care of her. Just as divorce was given, "because of the hardness of your hearts," rather than because God promotes the idea, this law is given to protect women in the midst of sinful men who rule in a cultural patriarchy where women are virtually objects (which is why it says she can leave "italics" without payment "italics")

It could even be that God established this verse because of the way that the kings pre-flood were just taking woman after woman instead of caring for them.

> Why is God making rules about polygamy if he didn't allow for it during this period? If he allowed for it during this period, then where's the former prohibition against it?

First off, see my point above.

Second off, so you're pro-slavery now, seeing as God has rules about how it should function? You're also pro-women marrying their rapists? Also, let's go there, Leviticus 19:19 straight up bans clothes made out of mixed materials. Do you only wear garments made out of a single material? I've digressed into this not just for fun, but specifically to highlight how these Laws were written to a particular people in a particular time. Jesus brought the full clarity of the intentions of God in His ministry when He reinforced marriage between one man and one woman, and the church recognized that by limiting their leaders to only being one man one woman relationships. Which the fact that they had to specify points out that there were polygamists in the church at that time, yet they understood that this was not God's desire for marriage. Therein, they understood that the polygamous "italics" must stay married to all of his wives upon conversion "italics" for the sake of caring for them, which agrees with the heart of the Mosaic Law and the fruits of the Spirit (kindness, specifically). While, at the same time, they condemn polygamy by disallowing that man from becoming a leader in the church.

I don't care for the Jewish question, don't care for who's destroying civilization, which party is guilty for that, etc. I just want to be close to Jesus and be saved- I don't see any of the aforementioned things helping me in reaching that. On another note, if you believe in racial differences, why would you try to pass your own definition of happiness on to me- we're not alike and don't "share the same instincts", racially or culturally, so that doesn't make sense. I'm guessing you're more concerned about trying to protect the numbers of your own race.

It may be beneficial for you to revisit the story of the Tower of Babel and seek to clarify why God split us up there. And if you choose to continuing to believe what you believe, that's cool, though focus on your own salvation and spiritual journey- that's what matters. The white race won't be there to bolster your case on Judgement day, your wife, regardless of her race, won't be there to answer positively for you, and neither will your children be there to do the same. It'll come down to your relationship and growth with God. You were given life so that you can place eternal things in your spiritual bank for the next life.

>he's part of their family now

She's part of his family now, is what I meant. Said it backwards.

>>12132

I think I've realized something, you're not Christian are you?

You ever read Ephesians 2, where Paul talks about how God has brought together Jew and Gentile for the sake of His glory?

You ever read the entirety of the book of Romans, where Paul argues that the sole purpose of his ministry is to see the Hebrew people come to Christ, but because God has blinded them until the fullness of the Gentiles comes in, Paul ministers to Gentiles to fulfill their fulness for the sake of the Jews' eyes being opened?

You ever read Jesus' own words to the Jewish authorities in Jerusalem, where He knits His return to their vocal acceptance of Him?

You ever read about /Any/ of God's faithfulness to Abraham throughout the entirety of the Old Testament and how He prophesies that He'll be faithful to Abraham's children, even with Jesus saying that not one dot or tittle of the Law will be left undone?

Did you not notice that while Jesus spoke to the Pharisees /who rejected him/ saying, "You are not of Abraham but of your father the devil," he then looked at all of his Jewish disciples, even the Apostles, saying that they were of Abraham?

Have you not read that Jesus sent the Disciples to minister to the Jews first and then to the Gentiles, forming the pattern after which Paul performed his ministry, as Paul was a servant of Christ rather than himself?

I'm real serious about this. Have you read the Bible?

Like, part of me wants to move on to break down all of the problems in the rest of your text but, all of that is just philosophy, ideas that you or others have contrived. The Bible clearly dictates that there is one race, the descendants of Adam, and through Christ, the second Adam, we are made a new creation. Therein, just as Paul said, "There are no Jews or Gentiles," if you are a Christian, your race is now irrelevant. There are no white Christians, only Christians. There are no black Christians, only Christians. There are no asian Christians, only Christians. There are no latino Christians, only Christians. Just as Christ said, "If anyone comes to Me, and does not hate his own father and mother and wife and children and brothers and sisters, yes, and even his own life, he cannot be My disciple," therefore, one is not about their own race, but about Christ's family. This echoes Psalm 45 which speaks to the Bride of Christ, Christians, about how they are to pursue Christ, "Listen, O daughter, give attention and incline your ear: Forget your people and your father's house, Then the King will desire your beauty. Because He is your Lord, bow down to Him." Let me reiterate, "Forget your people and your father's house." This is the call of God to any who would desire to follow Him. If you are in Christ, your race is no longer relevant. If your race is relevant, you are no longer in Christ, as race is the idol at which you worship.

I would apologize for coming off strong but I'm not repentant about the Gospel.

Looking forward to hearing your thoughts on these Scriptures.

>In most of Southeast Asia, other than Indonesia, they actually prefer marrying white folk.

I'm sure the inclination of Chinese men to marry laowai that has nothing to do with the one child policy and the consequent lack of available women in general. In Japan, you'd better believe there's a stigma against marrying gaijin. I've not heard of South Koreans being particularly attracted to the oekuk-saram, so you'll have to fill me in on that.

>>12126

>Furthermore, if "men" in verses 1 and 2 is only the sons of Cain, then why doesn't it stay that way throughout the whole chapter?

It does.

>If it does, then why is it that God's limitation of 120 years on the sons of Cain affects everyone?

This is where racial thinking comes in handy. When Seth's descendents bred with Cain's descendents, the offspring becomes Cain's descendents. They fell from their father's status as sons of God, now sons of Cain. I'm sure most of Seth's descendents would be well past the age of 120 when God made that declaration, so it wouldn't apply to them obviously, though they too would be wiped out in the coming judgment. But the hybrid children? They would diminished lifespans.

>Where do you get the idea that the sons of Seth were big bois?

Because it's logically necessary. If they weren't big bois, then there's no reason for the children to be either.

Let's do a thought experiment here:

You've got a town. A bunch of holy rollers stroll in and decide that your daughters are looking mighty fine and they're going to take them and make some babies. What are you going to do? Are you going to go, "YEP, HAVE AT EM, STRANGERS!" Probably not. Obviously the children of Seth, who had been kept away from Cain's offspring, would have to be intimidating enough that the men either wouldn't fight them or were happy with the arrangement. And considering how common the practice was of selling off your daughters in the old world? Something tells me that giving up their daughers wasn't voluntary.

>Both Jude and 2 Peter 2 are eluding to Enoch (Feel free to go check it out.

I have no problem with Jude making a cultural reference to Enoch, but he doesn't bring up anything Enochian until verse 14.

>the inclusio that Peter uses with the word God [Theos]. Peter states it first in verse 4 and then again at the end of 5, bracketing the concepts in-between together

>So, stated clearly, Peter's putting "angels who sinned" into the Noah story by utilizing the inclusio.

I had to go find some sort of commentary on this in order to figure out what you were saying. Again, if you're going to try to say that, because of the inclusio, the Angels in v4 are being chronologically aligned with Noah in v5, then you also have to say that Sodom and Gomorrah, along with Lot, took place during Noah's time as well. I see no grammatical reason in either Greek or English to interpret this as Peter saying these events took place during the same time period. It's a list of different things that are being used to make a point.

I also see no reason to believe that Peter was referencing Enoch either. In Jude 14, he's clearly talking about humans, and that's where the quotation of Enoch is. Jude 6, which shares similar language to 2 Peter 2:4, is clearly talking about something entirely different and has no connection to Enoch whatsoever.

>>12126

>I'm sorry but when did we start moving away from the Bible into honoring the opinion of a 16th century preacher over what the Bible says?

To quote Jacob Arminius:

>After the Holy Scriptures, I exhort the students to read the Commentaries of Calvin. . . . I tell them that he is incomparable in the interpretation of Scripture; and that his Commentaries ought to be held in greater estimation than all that is delivered to us in the writings of the ancient Christian Fathers

In Calvin's biblical scholarly opinion, the idea that the bible was trying to communicate that angels bred with humans is laughable. Plus I just happened to have several commentaries up while responding to your previous post and I found that excerpt pretty funny. I absolutely love that a centuries old French lawyer was mocking what modern fundamentalism has collapsed into. Angel sex.

>This leads me to another question, are you amillennial?

Yes, optimistic.

>Where in 1 Chronicles 3 does it say that God gave those women to him so that he'd marry all of them?

Where does God chastise David for having them, like he did with Uriah's wife? Why does God strike Nabal dead after he wrongs David in 1 Samuel 25, which directly resulted in Abigail becoming his second wife? Verse 43 even says

>David had also taken Ahinoam of Jezreel, and they both became his wives.

so that's 3 wives at once, even though Michal was temporarily given away by Saul after pushing David out. Show me the rebuke.

>I then immediately an argument that God promotes the mixing of races

I have no idea what you're saying here.

>You're completely missing the point of that passage. It's entirely about protecting women

No, I got that. My point is that, unlike with adultery, fornication, and sodomy, God hasn't outlined a penalty for polygamy. He outlines rules for the Israelites on how to do polygamy.

>sinful men who rule in a cultural patriarchy where women are virtually objects

Do I need to think like an eagle to know that an eagle won't be happy in a cage? My argument is based on the reality that there is a God ordained order to the way the world works. Do I really need to go fetch any of countless stories by interracially married men and women where they explain some of the fundamental incompatibilities that exist in their relationship, which make them miserable or at least greatly unsatisfied?

This is not an attack on you. I'm just warning you about the experiences of countless others who went down that path. Even in my church right now I'm having to watch the consequences of micegenation play out. Divorce is extremely messy stuff, and what of the children? It isn't worth it.

>I'm guessing you're more concerned about trying to protect the numbers of your own race.

I'm not sure what you're getting at with this.

>It may be beneficial for you to revisit the story of the Tower of Babel and seek to clarify why God split us up there.

My argument with the other guy was that God had already done a lesser split prior to the flood. (Seth vs Cain.) I also think there's been further splits since then.

>The white race won't be there to bolster your case on Judgement day

Are you really making this a salvation issue? Because I don't think you have a theological basis for doing so.

>You were given life so that you can place eternal things in your spiritual bank for the next life.

My life is not about me or my bank account, spiritual or otherwise. I'm here to glorify and honor my creator. Speaking unpopular truths is one of the ways that I do that.

>I think I've realized something, you're not Christian are you?

>You ever read Ephesians 2, where Paul talks about how God has brought together Jew and Gentile for the sake of His glory?

Yes, and recognizing that

>He made from one man every nation of mankind to live on all the face of the earth, having determined their appointed times and the boundaries of their habitation

as Paul said in Acts 17:26, does not contradict with what Paul said in Ephesians 2 or Colossians 3. Paul does not contradict Paul. When Paul, for an example, talks about "making the two into one new man" in Ephesians 2:15, he's not talking about our physical bodies. The next verse is very clear:

>and might reconcile them both in one body to God through the cross

SPIRITUALLY. We have a common path to God through the substitutionary, high priestly work of his Son, through his death and resurrection. That is the foundation of our peace.

It has nothing whatsoever to do with us all blending together to become a bunch of rootless mullatos and completely undoing the Tower of Babel. To be clear: nations in scripture, and for all of human history, have been understood to be racial/ethnic territories. God ordains those. That's his system. Look at the old testament and you'll see God repeatedly using one nation to judge another nation, because God himself judges both the individual and the group. It's not a social construct, as the cool kids with their liberal arts degrees are saying these days.

>Paul ministers to Gentiles to fulfill their fulness for the sake of the Jews' eyes being opened?

"for the sake of the Jew's eyes being opened" is an odd way of phrasing it, but yes I'm aware that there's an eschatological fulfillment to be had. And were the hearts of the Jewish people to suddenly change, I'd be climbing over people to evangelize them, but for the past 2,000 years they've been running a global slave trade and blaspheming God, Mary, and Christians, both endlessly and in some very creative ways.

I mention Mary because that point particularly irked Martin Luther, who'd spent decades trying to evangelize the Jews in Germany to no avail. His last written work published before his death was On the Jews and Their Lies. I strongly recommend giving it a read. It's quite eye opening.

Romans 9:6-8

>But it is not as though the word of God has failed. For they are not all Israel who are descended from Israel; nor are they all children because they are Abraham’s descendants, but: “through Isaac your descendants will be named.” That is, it is not the children of the flesh who are children of God, but the children of the promise are regarded as descendants.

"Abraham's children" has nothing to do with biological descedent.

Ethnos. The Greek word most commonly translated nation is ethnos.

Spiritually. The biological reality remains.

>if you are a Christian, your race is now irrelevant

In terms of your salvation, yes.

>This echoes Psalm 45

>Let me reiterate, "Forget your people and your father's house."

You're really stretching the application of that one. Let's flip that around by applying it to something that's an explicit shadow of Christ and the Church.

Genesis 2:23,24

>The man said,

>“This is now bone of my bones,

>And flesh of my flesh;

>She shall be called Woman,

>Because she was taken out of Man.”

>For this reason a man shall leave his father and his mother, and be joined to his wife; and they shall become one flesh.

The woman must also leave her father and mother for this. That's what the Psalm is talking about. Not leaving your nation because you joined the church.

>If your race is relevant, you are no longer in Christ, as race is the idol at which you worship.

It isn't an idol. It's physical reality, with God's stamp on it. You can tell both race and sex from bone structure alone. Even the brain is different.

You think I'm the one importing something? You're trying to use scripture to justify the denial of the existence of biological differences. How am I the one with the idol when you're using radical egalitarianism, a recent concept that's foreign to scripture, as an interpretative lens? What have I said that contradicts historical Christian orthodoxy on any core doctrine, such that you see fit to put me outside the circle of salvation?

Solid stuff.

> I'm sure the inclination of Chinese men to marry laowai that has nothing to do with the one child policy and the consequent lack of available women in general. In Japan, you'd better believe there's a stigma against marrying gaijin. I've not heard of South Koreans being particularly attracted to the oekuk-saram, so you'll have to fill me in on that.

Southeast Asia is comprised of the 11 countries south of China. China, Korea, and Japan, are all considered "East Asia." If you happen to know more archaic terms, think Indochina+ the Islands. More modern, it's essentially from Burma in the West to Philippines in the East and East Timor in the South. (Technically Burma also reaches the farthest North, after which comes Vietnam).

When speaking of China, S.Korea, and Japan, what you're encountering is technologically advanced people with a Confucianist, anti-western dialogue under their culture. It has nothing to do with race and everything to do with culture there.

>It does. This is where racial thinking comes in handy.

So you'd then also argue that Noah and Noah's sons failed to keep their bloodline pure, even though God deemed them as righteous?

> If they weren't big bois, then there's no reason for the children to be either… Something tells me that giving up their daughers wasn't voluntary.

It's logically necessary for your dialogue but not at all for the text, especially from an ancient perspective where gods commonly descended and inseminated women.

Further, if Seth's kids are all big bois, then why are only the children of Seth+Cain the "mighty men of old?" Wouldn't Seth's pure, untainted bloodline be mightier?

Your thought experiment about the sons of Seth stealing the daughters of Cain is fascinatingly unnecessary for the text… Unless you're saying that that's proof that Seth's men were big bois? Even then, that's logically unnecessary even 'inside' of your understanding of the text, because intermarriage was a common method of making peace between tribes in ancient cultures.

>he doesn't bring up anything Enochian until verse 14

He doesn't 'directly' point out Enoch as the source until verse 14, correct. However, it's crazy how much he's actually pulling from Enoch, just like the rest of the Epistles pull from the OT and Jesus without directly stating the source. [To be clear, I'm not defending Enochian priority. Just pointing out facts. I find it crazy to claim that he's pulling from Enoch predominantly because Enoch didn't make it into the Canon so… I'm not sure what to do with it.]

>inclusio

I think I made the mistake here. I looked the verse up in the NET because of their extensive commentary on why they translated what as what and forgot to double-check with the Greek and the NASB. In the NET it renders the "he" in verse 5, "'He' brought a flood upon the world of the ungodly," as "God," likely to make it abundantly clear who brought the flood.

So, the inclusio is not as clear as I thought it was, certainly my mistake.

At the same time, looking into this brought something further to light which ties the angels and wicked before the flood together as distinct from Sodom and Gomorrah. ἐφείσατο, the word we translate as, "Did not spare," is used only 4 times in the Greek. It's used twice in Romans where God did not spare His son, Jesus, and then twice again in verse 4 and 5, referring to the angels and ancient world (respectively). This is then distinct from how it refers to Sodom and Gomorrah, which he condemned, rather than "did not spare."

So, there is actually a type of inclusio, just not the one that I thought (That's what I get for leaving the NASB :p)

>then you also have to say that Sodom and Gomorrah, along with Lot, took place during Noah's time as well.

Straight up, when I realized my mistake about the NET's translation I was going to come here and explain my mistake and then agree with you. But in the process of double checking everything that's how I found that hidden gem from the Greek. So, you're right, if we're talking about utilizing the term Theos, but I've realized that's wrong, and now am pointing to a different term that ties the angels and ancient world together.

Gaslighting

Continuing >>12155

>Arminius and Calvin

I love that you're looking into commentaries but you also 'must' realize how bent Arminius, Calvin, and Luther were in their interpretation of the text, no? Like, first off, they didn't have all of the writings that we have (even the alexandrian texts, etc.). Second, Calvin is calling it laughable from the mindset of a renaissance thinker during a time when priests were called to be celibate. (Which, for sure, Calvin disagreed with. However, he didn't disagree with it in principle. Rather, he disagreed because the Text clearly calls some who were married. If it weren't for that, according to the culture of his day, he would have promoted it. This is but one example of how Calvin was a cultural and uninformed reader of the text [without even mentioning how he fails to realize Augustine's flaws]).

>Yes, optimistic

This makes considerable sense. Considering you know your flavor of A, I assume you know of historic premillennialism? That's what I fall under. I figure that if we believe a 3=1 God that became flesh and died and rose again and then peace'd out by floating up into the sky while his followers watched Him, rather than staying on earth in His new and improved body to do the work of the Kingdom as a normal, logical human would do, then I'm okay with believing in physical expressions of the book of Revelation and good deal of the OT Prophets (especially considering how literal so many prophecies of Jesus' second coming ended up being, even if we didn't know they were prophesies [E.g., Ps. 22]). So, considering I'm crazy enough to believe that, I'm crazy enough to say that angels inseminating humans 'italics'isn't outside of the realm of possibility'italics'. This doesn't mean I'll stand here and say, "This has to be how it happened!," because I find it just as absurd as Calvin, but simultaneously I feel a need to be as true to the Text as I can be, which necessitates going, "This is the clearest interpretation of this Text, regardless of our opinions. Let's ask God about it when we get there."

>Why have we been arguing then?

Because, as I said, I'm arguing for a proper understanding of the Text, not a particular argument of what actually occurred. Therein, that proper understanding of the Text, as far as I am yet convinced, stands in direct contradiction to your race-theory. So, for the sake of the Text, I argue on.

>Where does God

Where does God chastise the various rapists, murderers, and slave traders that run the earth? Are we now going to say that God endorses those people? Your logic is problematic at best

>Why does God strike Nabal dead…which directly resulted in

David was the Lord's anointed king and everyone new that. Nabal was directly giving God the middle finger by insultingly rejecting David and His men (This is also why David was within his rights to go kill Nabal. It was against the Lord, not merely him.) Even though this did end up resulting in David's marriage to Abigail, you cannot claim that God caused or condoned that marriage. Rather, He defended His name and continued to allow David to act with free will (this is also only the beginning of David's mistakes that he makes. Notice he runs off to join the enemies of God, the Philistines, rather than trusting in the Lord. We can't say that David was doing everything right in this season.).

>I then immediately an argument that God promotes the mixing of races - I have no idea what you're saying here.

Yeah, somehow I missed a word. "I then immediately 'italics'see'italics' an argument…"

Essentially, if God intentionally gave all of David's wives to him, endorsing every single one, then God promotes the mixing of races because David has wives that are not of the Tribe of Judah, nor even of Israel.

>He outlines rules for the Israelites on how to do polygamy.

So, you're going to argue that God is pro-slavery too?

>Sounding a little Woke there.

Hahaha. Westernized Women have no idea what a true patriarchy looks like.

> the kings pre-flood were just taking woman after woman instead of caring for them. - That has yet to be established

Yeah, so does the idea that the term "sons of God" refers to the sons of Seth who were big bois, yet here we are :p

Considering the text highlights the women's physical appearance, it's a reasonable assumption to believe that these individuals were not really caring for the women as much as their enjoyment of said women (especially if we're to take the "Human Kings" argument).

From the people that I know, more inter-racial couples stay together than same-race.

I'll say that another way. Of the people I know, more same-race couples are divorced than inter-racial couples.

Furthermore, you can't merely blame race. Go have a black woman from the streets of Atlanta marry a man born an raised in South Sudan. It's gonna be a problem.

Go have a white person from the Bronx marry a white person from SouCal. It's gonna be a problem.

Solid, I appreciate that you didn't get pissed at my bluntness.

>One Body Spiritually (Basically condensing everything you've said and then responding to it)

Yeah, I can agree that it should be understood in a primarily Spiritual way. However, I have trouble then claiming that we can completely discount a second, less-ethereal application of the Text.

Specifically though, I brought up most of those verses to butt back against your antisemitism. Considering God calls them the Apple of His Eye, I don't want to insult them. Is modern judaism more like Hinduism with some Christianity sprinkled in? Sure. But Babylon was judged for attacking sinful Israel (even though God raised them up), so I'm not inclined to join the side of the accuser.

On that note.

> Jew's eyes being opened…. I'm aware that there's an eschatological fulfillment to be had.

Yeah, it's a little odd, but I think it works well considering their eyes are currently blind, and the Bible speaks of blind eyes opening, as well as it then references verses like Eph. 1, Acts 26, etc.

I'm glad that you're able to see "an eschatological fulfillment to be had," and that you'd be excited about evangelizing to them if they'd be open to the Gospel. However, in that, considering your amillennialism, I'd actually love if you could explain your perspective on what that eschatological end practically looks like? (I'm legit curious, this point has moved beyond our initial discussion, so feel free to say 'nah' if you want)

>for the past 2,000 years

The Gentiles have been doing the same and even worse. It's the Catholics who ordained Mary-worship, not the Jews, etc. This point bothered Luther because he really wasn't that far off from Catholicism. I am quite aware of his work, 'On the Jews,' and that's further evidence to me of how Luther fell off the wagon rather than proof of the excellence of his ideas. You know that work was utilized in promoting the Holocaust, yeah?

>They are literally harvesting foreskins for cosmetic products

They're productive. I realize you may be against circumcision but imagine if you had an entire nation that believed heavily in circumcision (even Arabs circumcise). What would you do with all of that flesh? It's not like they're going out an harvesting organs from people. Rather, they have a surplus, and they're trying to make use of it. This is part of God's blessing on them [even though many use it for a variety of evil things.] they're masters of efficiency.

Continuing>>12159

> Romans 9:6-8

So, you're going to say that Gentiles are now included in the land-promises too? You realize that God made a variety of promises to Abraham, aye?

>"Abraham's children" has nothing to do with biological descendent.

Paul made these arguments after laying out Romans 1-8 which establishes that there is a "greater blessing" to be a Jew. In the context, Paul's making an argument about the gift of salvation, as only Israel is saved, while also arguing that Jews, which are different from Gentiles, and regarded as different by God than Gentiles, will also be saved in the future, because God cares for them in a specific way. You gotta read 9 in context (Luther doesn't, and Calvin and Arminius base their thoughts on Luther).

>Ethnos

The Ethnos all came from Adam. Furthermore, "Ethnos" is a tribe. So if you have a tribe of germans on one side of a river and a tribe of germans on the other side of a river, you could call them different Ethnos.

> The woman must also leave her father and mother for this. That's what the Psalm is talking about. Not leaving your nation because you joined the church.

That fails to acknowledge why the Psalmist, inspired by the Spirit, felt the need to add "Your father's people" to the Genesis 2 account. Furthermore, you also completely bypassed my point about hating your father and mother (Unless you're taking a super spiritual route on that one? Not saying that I despise my mom. Just that I'm not connected to her, especially if she were not in Christ. Also, in Christ, I am then connected to her, but only through Christ, just as I would be connected to an individual of a deviant skin color who is in Christ.)

> It isn't an idol. It's physical reality, with God's stamp on it. You can tell both race and sex from bone structure alone. Even the brain is different.

Micro-evolution is a thing, sure. But DNA-wise, there's barely any deviance. Also, got any scholarly articles on any of that?

> You're trying to use scripture to justify the denial of the existence of biological differences

I don't deny there's differences at all. Rather, I deny that those differences denote the need to "keep the bloodline pure," especially considering how problematic inbreeding is.

> radical egalitarianism, a recent concept that's foreign to scripture, as an interpretative lens?

Racial egalitarianism, that's a new term for me!

Gender-egalitarianism is actually quite clear from the NT (John writes to a woman who's the leader of a church, etc.).

As for racial, it's not really a new concept at all? People have been cross-breeding for centuries. I mean really, who cross-bred more than the wisest man to ever live: Solomon?

Culture and race/blood are inseparable. From a people flows a culture, and human behavior is deterministic. Our genes are the primary driver of our behavior. They control everything from intellectual potential to addictive tendencies to dietary needs. None of these things are arbitrary.

It's astounding to me that you would impose upon east asians the notion that they didn't understand the impact that a parent's blood had upon a child. I can tell you that if your child is an obvious hybrid in Japan, they'll never be considered truly Japanese even if they were raised there, speak perfect Japanese as a first language, and know all of the customs. That doesn't mean they're treated unkindly, but the vast majority of Japanese people will forever view your child as "other."

China… I think you should seriously look more into the racial animosity of the Chinese Han. It's hardcore, both within and without.

>So you'd then also argue that Noah and Noah's sons failed to keep their bloodline pure

I get your point, but I'm not certain either way to be honest. Perhaps he didn't and he was kept by grace, or perhaps God applied it to everyone going forward. It's not really a major issue for me.

>especially from an ancient perspective where gods commonly descended and inseminated women

Angels don't have sex organs or the instinct to reproduce…

>why are only the children of Seth+Cain the "mighty men of old?"

Because they weren't bloodthirsty maniacs? The earth was only full of violence after the mix. For some reason John 8:44 comes to mind

>You are of your father the devil, and you want to do the desires of your father.

Why wouldn't the children of Cain do the desires of Cain? The children of Seth would be less likely to have any such an inclination toward meaningless violence.

>intermarriage was a common method of making peace between tribes in ancient cultures.

Yes, but there's quite a bit of difference between giving your daughter to the king several cities over and giving your daughter to a king on another continent.

>He doesn't 'directly' point out Enoch as the source until verse 14

Please substantiate your implication that v4 is pulling from Enoch.

>Enoch didn't make it into the Canon so… I'm not sure what to do with it.

Well Paul pulls from Greek mythology in order to make what he's saying relatable to them in the sermon on the mount, so I don't see why Peter can't pull from Jewish mythology in order to make a concept more relatable when talking to them. That's just good communication skills.

>In the NET it renders the "he" in verse 5, "'He' brought a flood upon the world of the ungodly," as "God,"

Makes sense, no problem.

>ἐφείσατο, the word we translate as, "Did not spare," is used only 4 times in the Greek.

4 times for that particular verb form. I feel like you're grasping at straws here. It's used 6 other times in different forms with no special meaning or significance beyond the plain meaning.

>you also 'must' realize how bent Arminius, Calvin, and Luther were in their interpretation of the text, no?

I was being ironic when I used Arminius to support Calvin, since you responded so negatively to Calvin. In what way do you say Calvin and Luther were "bent" exactly?

>Like, first off, they didn't have all of the writings that we have (even the alexandrian texts, etc.).

I fail to see how those manuscripts are relevant to what we were discussing? What they had to work with was quite sufficient.

>Second, Calvin is calling it laughable from the mindset of a renaissance thinker during a time when priests were called to be celibate.

Again, how is that relevant? How does priestly celibacy in any way relate to anyone's view on Genesis 6:2?

>Therein, that proper understanding of the Text, as far as I am yet convinced, stands in direct contradiction to your race-theory.

You've yet to define your position on that text, so I'm not sure how it disagrees with a racialist interpretation. You're arguing a position that you seemingly don't even agree with for some reason.

>Where does God chastise the various rapists, murderers, and slave traders that run the earth?

In the places where he chastises rapists and murderers. Also I strongly suggest you look up a list of Jewish hereditary diseases. It's jaw dropping.

>This is also why David was within his rights to go kill Nabal

1 Samual 25 makes it very clear that even David himself did not believe he would have been within his rights to avenge himself against Nabal.

>Even though this did end up resulting in David's marriage to Abigail, you cannot claim that God caused or condoned that marriage.

That is exactly what I'm claiming.

>Essentially, if God intentionally gave all of David's wives to him, endorsing every single one, then God promotes the mixing of races because David has wives that are not of the Tribe of Judah, nor even of Israel.

His wives were not biologically dissimilar to him. That is specifically what God appears to discourage. I make no objection to a Somalian marrying a Congolese. I make no objection to a Taiwanese marrying a Korean. I make no objection to a Russian marrying a Swede. When a Korean marries an Irishman, we make a Starburst commercial about it.

>So, you're going to argue that God is pro-slavery too?

His form of slavery was a social safety net for the old world and it looked absolutely nothing like what the Talmud encourages, so yes. He was in favor of a very specific kind of slavery within Israel.

Continuing >>12173

>Cultural distinctives cause impressive conflict, regardless of race.

Obviously they can, yes.

>Specifically though, I brought up most of those verses to butt back against your antisemitism.

Isn't it funny how Arabs are Semites too, and yet Arabs can be antisemites when they complain about Jews?

Isn't it funny how the ADL will attack Arab-Muslim groups if they try to call people antisemites for attacking them?

Isn't it funny how Jews have invented a new term to refer to "racism" against their specific group, but nobody else can have one?

>Considering God calls them the Apple of His Eye, I don't want to insult them.

>so I'm not inclined to join the side of the accuser.

This is where our difference in echatology is going to create an impasse. I couldn't care less about national Israel.

>I'd actually love if you could explain your perspective on what that eschatological end practically looks like?

Frankly, this area of theology isn't my strong point. I just know enough to know things to rule out.

>The Gentiles have been doing the same and even worse.

1 Thessalonians 2:14-16

>For you, brethren, became imitators of the churches of God in Christ Jesus that are in Judea, for you also endured the same sufferings at the hands of your own countrymen, even as they did from the Jews, who both killed the Lord Jesus and the prophets, and drove us out. They are not pleasing to God, but hostile to all men, hindering us from speaking to the Gentiles so that they may be saved; with the result that they always fill up the measure of their sins. But wrath has come upon them to the utmost.

They really are hostile to all men and, no, their deeds are quite in a league of their own. But that goes too far beyond the scope of this thread to get into here.

>It's the Catholics who ordained Mary-worship, not the Jews, etc.

>This point bothered Luther because he really wasn't that far off from Catholicism.

That dogma became popular much later on. I see nothing wrong with holding Mary in high esteem as a faithful, holy woman, and unless you can demonstrate otherwise, I know of nothing that would indicate that Dr. Luther worshipped Mary. Perhaps if you knew the things that the Talmud says of her, you would understand his outrage. I'd rather not repeat their blasphemies, but they should be easy to find.

>I am quite aware of his work, 'On the Jews,'

and their lies. You say you're aware of it, but have you actually read his grievances? Say what you will of his theology, but the man was no liar.

>You know that work was utilized in promoting the Holocaust, yeah?

The Holohoax is not the best subject to bring up when talking to a /pol/lack unless you're wanting me to blast you with a torrent of red pills. I'd rather keep this thread mostly on topic.

<They are literally harvesting foreskins for cosmetic products

>They're productive.

>This is part of God's blessing on them

I hope that you're just trolling. The normal, healthy human reaction to this kind of information is abject revulsion.

<Romans 9:6-8

>So, you're going to say that Gentiles are now included in the land-promises too?

I quoted the text. You're no longer arguing with me, but Paul.

>while also arguing that Jews, which are different from Gentiles, and regarded as different by God than Gentiles, will also be saved in the future, because God cares for them in a specific way.

Paul literally uses the illustration of snapping off unfruitful branches from the tree of Israel and grafting in fruitful branches from wild gentile trees. The way in which Jews are special, according to Paul, is that they had the honor of being the vehicle for the arrival of the law and the prophets. You don't believe that Jews are saved by the old covenant, do you?

>Luther doesn't, and Calvin and Arminius base their thoughts on Luther

Upon what basis do you say that Calvin's thoughts were based off of Luther?

>Furthermore, "Ethnos" is a tribe.

I know of no translation which would translate Ethnos as "tribe" under any circumstance, and yes I just double checked to be sure. I don't know where you got that from, but you are flat out wrong.

>That fails to acknowledge why the Psalmist, inspired by the Spirit, felt the need to add "Your father's people" to the Genesis 2 account.

What the heck kind of hermaneutic is that?

>Furthermore, you also completely bypassed my point about hating your father and mother

You're misinterpreting what Jesus was saying in that passage as well.

>But DNA-wise, there's barely any deviance.

I'm 60% banana. Do you find me a-peeling?

>Also, got any scholarly articles on any of that?

https://academic.oup.com/labmed/article-pdf/29/7/423/24957041/labmed29-0423.pdf

It's getting late, so that will have to do for now.

>I deny that those differences denote the need to "keep the bloodline pure," especially considering how problematic inbreeding is.

I don't think you understand what inbreeding is, but like I said earlier, outbreeding is just as bad as inbreeding. Typically the same set of consequences involved.

>Racial egalitarianism, that's a new term for me!

I said radical egalitarianism, although yes I meant it to encompass race as well.

>Gender-egalitarianism is actually quite clear from the NT (John writes to a woman who's the leader of a church, etc.).

Please provide biblical reference for John writing a woman church leader.

1 Tim 2:12

>But I do not allow a woman to teach or exercise authority over a man, but to remain quiet. For it was Adam who was first created, and then Eve. And it was not Adam who was deceived, but the woman being deceived, fell into transgression.

I guess Paul was a misogynistic homophobobigot.

>The severe antisemitism bit is what caught me up.

It shouldn't have. Antisemitism and Christianity go together like peanut butter and jelly. Jews were even kind enough to set us up a fan page for it on wikipedia. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antisemitism_in_Christianity

>>11394

>How would you know this,

It is what has been observed.

>it seems like a quite subjective argument,

Since it has been observed, its objective.

>blood is blood regardless.

You clearly know nothing about DNA and the Bible clearly mentions the importance of the SEED, which means basically DNA. Seed is important.

Daily reminder, race mixing is a demonic doctrine.

>>12324

And what is that a quotation from? I'm 100% against race mixing, but how do you Christian Identity guys deal with the absence of your doctrines from church history? And why would you want to be Israelites considering what was written about them in the Old Testament? God did not speak favorably of them at all.

So there is a natural surplus in male already in every society.

When now the black men take all the white women, maybe because there is an invasion into your country, this is the root of discord and anger and a lot of frustration.

These frustrated sexless, in the sense of not having a sexual and marriage partner, then are a danger for the society, as much as the other ethnicity.

Ofcourse they will be mad and maybe even -oh they are human- turn violant or hostile at some point.

There is very surely rare cases of "natural" inermixing. but when theres media and masses behind brainwashing into it, you can considert it to be bluntly unnatural.

Also you got to ask about how christian it is, to take your fellow christians women away.

At first, I was attracted to Christianity. Then I was puzzled by many decisions made by the church.

After seeing videos about "new world order", I started to see the whole image and was appalled.

>>5971

Doesn't this logic mean that Whites were not ever intended to live in the American Continent?
