Featured Term (selected at random):
A shepherd-priest of a tribe called Kenites. Moses tended Jethro's sheep for forty years near Mount Horeb (Exodus 3:1-6). It was during this time that Yahweh appeared to Moses and gave him the mission of leading his people out of Egypt. He married Zipporah, Jethro's daughter, who bore him two sons, Gershom and Eliezer (Exodus 18:3-4).

In Hebrew Jethro’s name is pronounced as Yitro.
Jethro is described as “the priest of Midian.” Midian, father of the Midianites who troubled the Hebrews during the time of the Judges, was a son of Abraham by his practically unheard-of second wife, Keturah. Then there were the Ishmaelites (twelve tribes) from his unfortunate hookup with the servant Hagar ...
You’d think the Israelites would have gotten the idea, from the experiences of their patriarchs, that they ought to be careful about plural marriages and/or concubinage, but it seems they didn’t. “Now Solomon had six hundred wives who were princesses, and three hundred concubines,” and there goes the Federal budget out the roof, producing a tax revolt.
It sounds like a chemical or oil-refining company.
Jethro was a “son of Abraham”. He lived among the Kenites, being as much a Kenite, as I am a Washingtonian. Proof is that he was a Priest of Midian, meaning he was of the line of Levi. Kenites are literally the sons of Cain. Not black, or white, just of the line of Cain, not of the line of Gods chosen people. If he was a descendant of Cain, Moses children would not be able to be priests.
For that to be correct, either Noah or his wife or one of the wives of his three sons must have been descended of Cain, as well as of Seth, who was Noah's recorded ancestor. (None of the wives is named in Scripture, so how would it be known from what ancestors they came?) It's interesting that Noah's father was named Lamech, which is also the name of one of the descendants of Cain who gets a few extra lines in the genealogy (on account of his two wives and his bad attitude). Kenites are not listed in Genesis 10 among the descendants of Noah.
The unique Levite priesthood was not established until after the Exodus, when the Levites supported Moses against the worshippers of the Golden Calf (Ex. 32:25-29).
Jethro..Yitro also considered to the first convert to Judaism.

Where is it written that Noah and his descendants were the only humans to have survived the flood? The order from God was to take two of every flesh aboard the Ark. Since the Bible is the record of the history of man as it pertains to the line from Adam to Christ. Of course there had to be other survivors, the intent was to drive the evil, and the evil doers from the Earth, not exterminate all but the Hebrew line. I would surmise logically, that on board the Ark were what we call Negroids, Whites, or any other race that existed. How else can you say that there are different “races” without them surviving? In the New Testament, Jesus actually says that the Kenites are the sons of Cain. Kenites are described in the Bible as such. The church of Philadelphia was praised because they taught that this “serpent seed” still existed. He will specifically punish those that say they are “Jews” but are NOT. They are of the synagogue of Satan. Kenites, look it up in a Bible that hasn’t been altered, use a Strongs Concordance, it does help.
1 Peter 3:20
How else can you say that there are different “races” without them surviving?
What we call "races" are the descendants of Noah, through his three sons, surviving in different environments following the Flood and the dispersion of the nations. There has been plenty of time for these differences to show (although they are certainly not fixed in any way) through natural processes.
In the New Testament, Jesus actually says that the Kenites are the sons of Cain.
Where, precisely, is that?
Evolution has been proven to be a false science. It has failed and been replaced by new scientific evidence. DNA proves that the species that were thought to be pre-Man are something that existed alongside man. We have changed very little over the millenia. Black man, white man, red man, yellow man. They all were created by God in his image. THE Adam, was a special creation, meant to be the head of the line of a tribe that would bring salvation to the Earth. He was not the only created human. Open your mind to the truth, and see the immense scope. The answer to "where did Cain go to live and make a people" can only be answered logically with the answer.....to another people already flourishing upon the Earth. A Strongs Concordance, books and translations by Bullinger will take you a long way towards new insights. Good luck, I hope your journey of the mind is stimulating. But most of all, I hope it is taken.
If you'd like to provide a citation from the King James Version for your claim about Jesus's words regarding the Kenites, that would be fine. (You do realize it's a translation, don't you?)
Evolution has been proven to be a false science.
I agree. However, the fact that one person can be (for example) a quarter Zulu, a quarter Maori, a quarter Korean, and a quarter Norwegian demonstrates that racism is also a false science.
