And those seeking to denounce interracial marriages would connect this to the curse of Ham taking the unequal yoke to include social inferiors.
And they can easily say its you is missusing the bible and we are into a nice playground argument.Then they would be misusing the Bible to twist it into what they want it to say. No one is a social inferior as we all are children of the living God. All of us are sinners and all of us have been presented the free gift of eternal salvation. It is just up to each person to decide if they want to accept Jesus Christ as their Savior.
you have few thousand biblical scholars to correct. Good luck with that.There is no such thing as a curse of Ham.
Noah put a curse explicitly upon Canaan, but scripture does not attribute Canaan as the ancestor of subsaharan Africans. Scripture sets Cush as the ancestor of subSaharan Africans, Mizraim as the ancestor of North Africans, and neither Cush nor Mizraim were cursed.
The Bible says not to be unequally yoked. That basically means to not marry an unbeliever.
To be clear, if someone finds themselves married to an unbeliever because he/she made a decision to become a Christian, then they are NOT to divorce, but to stay married to that person in hopes of winning them over to Jesus.

Let's all be honest here, I believe it is the Christians that are socially inferior in this country. We got to have tolerance, but when it comes to Biblical beliefs, well that cannot be tolerated.And they can easily say its you is missusing the bible and we are into a nice playground argument.
As for social inferiors,go ask gays if they are socially equal.
Well, that is not honest. In fact, it is nowhere near true. Maybe you are of that belief, but that is not Biblical and it is not factual.Let's all be honest here, I believe it is the Christians that are socially inferior in this country.

But he is right! Just read the text: Ham is not cursed.
So, just as there are thousands of racists who taught that the Bible prohibited interracial marriage, there were, likewise, thousands of bigots who made up a "curse of Ham" out of thin air. It ain't there. Whoever asserted it is, is ignorant. Having been SHOWN that it's not there, if he still sees it, he's an imbecile, or a liar.
Truth is, the people who taught bigotry were not imbeciles, and they were not ignorant. They were actively wicked, evil, despicable men. And BECAUSE there were SO VERY MANY OF THEM, the fact that they taught it calls into question the authority of a great deal of Biblical "scholarship" - every single other thing any of them ever taught - it ALL came from a servant of Satan, and ALL needs to be thrown out. So much of it is lies that serve the evil politics and ideas of the "teachers".
This is a clear case. The curse of Canaan occurs one place. There's no scholarship required. Open the text and read it. There is no curse of Ham. Anybody can confirm this in less than a minute.
And yet men taught that there was. Because they were racist bigots who made up things to justify their evil. They were mouthpieces of Satan, not Christ, teaching people that their own satanic hatred of people who differed from them was in the Bible. And the rubes who bought it were not innocent either, because any human being who can read can open right to the passage and see that the "curse of Ham" is not there. They CHOSE to pretend it was, because they were filled with hatred of black people, because they were themselves rotten, evil people, not followers of Christ at all, servants of Satan, the lot of them.
It is PURELY a lie manufactured by racist ministers to teach evil. It is PURELY evil. And everything that came from it is PURELY evil. It was all service to Satan. And whoever defends it is evil and serves Satan. There is no excuse for defending this lie.
And there was never any excuse for any literate person to TELL the lie, because anybody can look and see that there is NO curse of Ham in the Bible. It is not there. Period.
Who are you asking?Do you insult and verbally abuse everyone who doesn't share your exact view points?

I actually thought that was what you might have meant before reading your reply. Yes, being Christian is being considered as inferior but if you take social media and TV out of the mix, is it really? Ask yourself if you are being persecuted because you are a Christian, but only if by real people.After reading my previous quote, I think it did not come out the way I intended it to. I was being a bit sarcastic, but my sarcasm did not come out very good. I don't believe Christians are socially inferior. I was trying to say the Christian values and beliefs are persecuted today in this country than before. I was trying to say that the world teaches tolerance, but has no tolerance for biblical beliefs. I should have written that better.
have Christian families been subject to referendums to deny them the right to be a family?
Has any states tried to pass laws saying that medical professionals don't have to treat Christians?
Can you be fired from your job just because you are a Christian?
Can you be denied housing just because you are a Christian?
Are businesses fighting for the right to deny Christians services?

I often wonder sometimes how people who are clearly passionate about their faith can also simultaneously be so wrong in some of their beliefs.No, I insult and verbally abuse racists, bigots, and every servant of Satan... I will insult you, abuse you, verbally attack you, and call you a servant of Satan, because there is no such thing as REAL Christian racism.... and if God is just, they roasted in Gehenna.

I Corinthians 13:1-3 - "If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal. And if I have prophetic powers, and understand all mysteries and knowledge, and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. If I give away all that I have, and if I deliver up my body to be burned, but have not love, I gain nothing."
You sound like someone who has forgotten that Christ died for you, while you were still a sinner. Christ said that the entire law and everything that the prophets spoke rested upon two commands - Love God, and love others. The breaking of any of the 10 commandments can be seen as either a failure to love God properly, or love others properly.
You, Victomte, for all your passion and zeal, have utterly missed the heart of the Gospel.
