Races of Mankind
Definition
All humankind, creatures of Jehovah God, with their distinctive variations of skin color, shape of head, size of skeleton, facial features, etc., but all of one created family “kind”, generated from the one father, Adam, who was originally created by God. All may freely and without difficulty intermarry and reproduce, thus proving they are of one “kind”, from one father.
Created by Jehovah God
Genesis 1:26, 28 “God said, Let us make man [Hebrew, adam] in Our image, after Our likeness: .. . and God said to them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it; and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the birds of the heavens, and over every living thing that moves upon the earth.”
Genesis 2:7, 21, 22 “And Jehovah God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul. And Jehovah God caused a deep sleep to fall upon the man, and he slept; and He took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh instead thereof: and the rib which Jehovah God had taken from the man He made a woman, and brought her to the man.”
Acts 17:29 “We are the progeny of God.”
Genesis 5:1, 2 “God created man, in the likeness of God He made him; male and female He created them, and blessed them, and called their name Adam, in the day when they were created.”
Genesis, Chapters 1, 2, Are Records of One Creation, Not Separate Creations
Matthew 19:4, 5 “Did you not read that He who created them at the beginning made them male and female [Genesis 1:27] and said: ‘For this reason a man will leave his father and his mother and will stick to his wife, and the two will be one flesh’?” [Genesis 2:24]
Genesis 2:2-4 “And on the seventh day God finished His work which He had made; and He rested on the seventh day from all His work which He had made.”
Hebrews 4:3, 4 “His works were finished from the foundation of the world. For in one place He has said of the seventh day as follows: ‘And God rested on the seventh day from all His works.’ “
1 Corinthians 15:45-49 “It is even so written: ‘The first man Adam became a living soul.’ The last Adam became a life-giving spirit. Nevertheless, the first is, not that which is spiritual, but that which is physical… The first man is out of the earth and made of dust; … As the one made of dust is, so those made of dust are also; … And just as we have borne the image of the one made of dust, we shall bear also the image of the heavenly one.”
All Mankind Sprang from Adam and Eve
Genesis 3:20 “And the man called his wife’s name Eve; because she was the mother of all living.”
Acts 17:26 “And He made out of one man every nation of men to dwell upon the entire surface of the earth.”
Cain Married One of His Sisters
Genesis 5:4 “And the days of Adam after he begat Seth were eight hundred years: and he begat sons and daughters.”
Genesis 4:16, 17 “And Cain went out from the presence of Jehovah, and dwelt in the land of Nod, on the east of Eden. And Cain knew his wife; and she conceived, and bare Enoch.”
All Present Mankind Descended from Noah’s Three Sons and Their Wives
Genesis 9:18, 19 “And the sons of Noah, that went forth from the ark, were Shem, and Ham, and Japheth: and Ham is the father of Canaan. These three were the sons of Noah: and of these was the whole earth overspread.”
1 Peter 3:20 “The ark . . . in which a few people, that is, eight souls, were carried safely through the water.”
All Came from 70 Original Families or Patriarchal Societies Spread Abroad After the Deluge
Genesis, chapter 10, names 70 family or tribal heads from Noah’s three sons (Nimrod, who was childless, not counted)
Genesis 10:32 “These are the families of the sons of Noah, after their generations, in their nations: and of these were the nations divided in the earth after the flood.”
Genesis 10:25 “And unto Eber were born two sons: the name of the one was Peleg; for in his days was the earth divided.”
Genesis 11:8 “So Jehovah scattered them abroad from then on upon the face of all the earth: and they left off building the city.”
All “Races” Due to Hereditary Factors in Original Pair
“Man, with a set of twenty-four chromosomes, has perhaps 100,000 genes, each one able to affect in some way the size of the human body, the shape of the skull, the texture of skin, slant of eye, color of hair and so on. The genes were placed in the species [kinds] by the Creator at creation, together with a definite mechanism or orderly process by which they could at different times reveal their effects … If there are, as is practically certain, multiple factors for color of skin in man, and if Adam and Eve were mulattos—a shade a mixture of black, white, red, and yellow—it is easy for geneticists to see how their color genes could become grouped and selected by climatic influences so as to form the various colors of the races.” —After Its Kind, by Byron C. Nelson
“In the human species [kind] there are variations in the skin, hair and eye colors, in the shape and distribution of hair, in the form of the head, nose and lips, in stature, in body proportions, in the chemical composition of the blood, in psychological traits, and so on. Each of these traits is influenced by several or by many genes. To be conservative, let us assume that the human species [kind] has only 1,000 genes and that each gene has only two variants. Even on this conservative basis, Mendelian segregation and recombination would be capable of producing 21000 different gene combinations in human beings.
“The number 21000 is easy to write but is utterly beyond comprehension.”—Theodosius Dobzhansky, professor of zoology, Columbia University
Black “Race” Not from Curse on Canaan, Whose Descendants Were White. Black “Race” from Cush, Canaan’s Brother
Acts 17:26 “And He made out of one man every nation of men, to dwell upon the entire surface of the earth.”
Genesis 10:6 “And the sons of flam: Cush, and Mizraim, and Put, and Canaan.”
Genesis 9:25 “And he [Noah] said, Cursed be Canaan.”
Genesis 10:7 “And the sons of Cush: Seba [Egypt and Ethiopia], and Havilah, and Sabtah, and Raamah, and Sabteca.”
Genesis 10:15-19 “And Canaan begat Sidon his first-born, and Heth, and the Jebusite, and the Amorite, and the Girgashite, and the Hivite, and the Arkite, and the Sinite, and the Arvadite and the Zemarite, and the Hamathite: … And the border of the Canaanite was from Sidon, as you go toward Gerar, unto Gaza; as you go toward Sodom and Gomorrah and Admah and Zeboiim, unto Lasha.”
Fact that All Are Sinners and Can Be Ransomed by One Man Proves All Descended from One Man, Through Whom Sin Came
Romans 5:12, 14, 17-19 “That is why, just as through one man sin entered into the world and death through sin, and thus death spread to all men because they had all sinned—. Nevertheless, death ruled as king from Adam down to Moses, even over those who had not sinned after the likeness of the transgression by Adam… For if by the trespass of the one man death ruled as king through that one… So, then, as through one trespass the result to men of all kinds was condemnation… For just as through the disobedience of the one man many were constituted sinners, likewise also through the obedience of the one person many will be constituted righteous.”
Psalm 51:5 “Behold, I was brought forth in iniquity; and in sin did my mother conceive me.”
No Nation Is a “Super Race” or Superior Before God
Romans 10:12 “For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek, for there is the same Lord over all, who is rich to all those calling upon Him.”
Romans 15:10-12 (also Psalm 117:1) ” ‘Be glad, you nations, with His people.’ And again: ‘Praise Jehovah, all you nations, and let all the peoples praise Him.’… ‘There will be one arising to rule nations; on Him nations will rest their hope.’ “
Luke 3:8 “Do not start saying within yourselves, ‘As a father we have Abraham.’ For I say to you that God has power to raise up children to Abraham from these stones.”
Romans 3:9-12 “Are we in a better position? Not at all! For above we have made the charge that Jews as well as Greeks are all under sin; just as it is written: ‘There is not a righteous man, not even one; there is not a one that understands, there is not a one that seeks for God. All men have deflected, all of them together have become worthless; there is not a one that does good, there is not so much as one.”
Romans 11:20, 21, 23 “All right! For their lack of faith they were broken off, but you are standing by faith. Quit having lofty ideas, but be in fear. For if God did not spare the natural branches, neither will He spare you. They also, if they do not remain in their lack of faith, will be grafted in; for God is able to graft them in again.”
Genesis 6:4, 13 “The Nephilim were in the earth in those days, and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them: the same were the mighty men that were of old, the men of renown. And God said unto Noah, The end of all flesh is come before Me; for the earth is filled with violence through them; and, behold, I will destroy them with the earth.”
Nations Practicing Genocide Condemned
Exodus 1:8-10, 16, 22 “Now there arose a new king over Egypt, who knew not Joseph. And he said to his people, Behold, the people of the children of Israel are more and mightier than we: come, let us deal wisely with them, lest they multiply, and it come to pass, that, when there falls out any war, they also join themselves unto our enemies, and fight against us, and get them up out of the land. And he said, When you do the office of a midwife to the Hebrew women, and see them upon the birth-stool; if it be a son, then you shall kill him; but if it be a daughter, then she shall live. And Pharaoh charged all his people, saying, Every son that is born you shall cast into the river, and every daughter you shall save alive.’
Psalm 83:4, 6-8, 17 “They have said, Come, and let us cut them off from being a nation; that the name of Israel may be no more in remembrance. The tents of Edom and the Ishmaelites; Moab, and the Hagarenes; Gebal, and Ammon, and Amalek; Philistia with the inhabitants of Tyre: Assyria also is joined with them; they have helped the children of Lot. Let them be put to shame and dismayed for ever; yea, let them be confounded and perish.”
