How did the different races come about?<\/a><\/p>\nWe aren’t told the skin colors of early men — it isn’t something anyone thought was important.<\/p>\n\t
Question:<\/h2>\n
Thanks! But why? The white Christians do not come and worship together with the blacks in most churches here in South Africa. It is awkward because we all say we are going to heaven, but we are separated. I’m worried because those who will see God must be in harmony. I’m kind of confused when it comes to that.<\/p>\n\t
Answer:<\/h2>\n
You’re asking why people sin. If people are segregating where you are, then you are with the wrong group because the Christians I know don’t care about skin color. “There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is neither male nor female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus<\/em>” (Galatians 3:28).<\/p>\n\tResponse:<\/h2>\n
That is correct, yeah! That’s why people do not want to have faith in God. They do not know what to do. Faith is something mysterious. Blessed are they who have the revelation from the living God and do His will with a pure heart.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
Question: Who was the first black person in the world? Why did God choose to make people of different races? Is a black person a product of a curse?
