[QUOTE="salt-n-light, post: 71721378, member: 400942"] I guess I will have to look that up and look into that more. But does that still justify creating a system that is contingent on physical appearances only, which is race, as oppose to nationality, or even ethinicity, which considers the culture and location? I don't think God necessarily created these terms, but it was classified by man. God made references and warnings based on the ethnicity like " avoid them because those people of that region and culture who carry certain customs are bad" as oppose to being based on their "manner" like " avoid them because those people of that skin color are bad". In fact, in Numbers 12, when Miriam was mocking Moses' wife for having her dark skin color, God cursed Miriam by making her really white. So I don't think God fashioned race, but it's man who further classified people by skin color to mark their societal status, not to describe the beliefs and culture of people in a region. There's no real need to classify people by skin color, at all, other than to easily claim superiority over another group. [/QUOTE]
