I never said Adam was an Arab. We don't know what race he was, as it was never mentioned in the scriptures.

Yes it was. The Hebrew word translated into Adam has a root meaning of "ruddy complected". Do you think the bible was written in English? How is it that Adam's family became white if Adam wasn't white?

You've given me four Old Testament verses to hold up a spurious claim. Four verses out of how many?

I've given you the root meaning of the Hebrew word translated into Adam. All it takes is one or two, let alone four. If Adam's family was white, then in all probability he was white let alone the root meaning of his name.

My apologies if I was presumptious re: your claims.

Thanks. It's one thing I can't stand is when someone puts words into my mouth when I said nothing of the sort.

It just appears that you have this fixation with proving something that doesn't matter.

It does matter. It's important for the world to know who God's people are so that as many as possible can come to know Jesus and follow his ways and therefore also become Abraham's seed in spirit.

I don't care if Jesus was white, black or orange. He's Jesus.

But it's important. It's important for people to see the blessings of knowing God. Is there any doubt that Adam's family have received the most blessings? When you see the Chinese killing their own people wholesale, non-Israelite middle easterners killing their own people wholesale, Africans dying en masse, Indians of the Americas with their struggles over the last 500 years, India Indians dying in floods, Southern Asia and Indonesia with their strife and compare that to the relative internal peace and prosperity of the descendants of Abraham in Isreal, the U.K., the U.S., and parts of Europe, as many people as possible should know there's a reason for that and that is to one degree or another, we try to do things God's way. When we stray from God's way, then there has been strife, and there will be strife again when we stray too far (Jacob's trouble). But for now, there's no doubt which way is the right way. It's the ultimate Conservatism.
