Since you quoted me when you posted this stuff, I will assume you are directing these comments towards me. I made no assumptions, I simply said I think you are stretching things a bit to claim that all descendants of Ham were black. I did not need all the screed to follow regarding claiming everyone in the Bible was white, that I am writing lies, and all the stuff about bible characters in the Bible being white was also unnecessary as I made no reference to it. How many times you have taken your DNA is also irrelevant as none of them demonstrate ancestry that far back. I agree. All this accusing of prejudice and racism is going too far. And calling someone a racist when they are not is as evil as being a racist. One story and one point: Last week I was at the gym and doing my exercise with all my weights around me on the floor. This greater than six foot tall black guy walks in and asks me to move because he wanted to work out there. I said no, I will be done soon enough and he could wait. He says fine, but I am going to work out here any way, and I find him standing over me (straddling) doing his work out. I wasn't going to get into it, just went to the gym managers who made him move. I was shocked because in twenty years of going to the gym no such event like that had ever happened to me. But this guy goes over and sits down claiming I was a racist! Is that how it works? Whenever a black guy loses an argument with a white person they are a racist! (Similar situation, if a feminist loses an argument with a man, he is a sexist!) So, if someone loses an argument, are they then prejudiced and racists? It really is time in this country to stop this kind of stuff such as calling people racists and sexists and all the other names people use over minor stuff that gets ones panties in a wad. There are no survivors of the slave days in this country and there are no former slave owners in this country still alive. Get over it already! There are far worse situations in other parts of the world that eclipse even the slave days of this country and they are active situations even today. As of 2013, there were estimations by some of 27,000,000 slaves around the world. Very few of the slave owners are white. The little girl in the picture is eight years old and in a prison in the Phillippines. The cells are so packed that people slept on the floor in shifts. Finally, don't really care what your beefs are with other people, Scripture clearly states that you must forgive or you will not forgiven. The American slave ancestors are gone, time to let it go. (This is advice given me by my very old aunt regarding the evil done to an uncle by family members. "He is gone, let it go.")

? Be righteous still ? Rev 22:11 He that is unjust, let him be unjust still: and he which is filthy, let him be filthy still: and he that is righteous, let him be righteous still: and he that is holy, let him be holy still. ?

You know it take courage for a person to tell how their people have been mistreated. My son said stop using the word racism because it really has no meaning. I forget sometime, blame it on my old age! The reason it has no meaning is because we all are of one race! The word should be prejudice and just downright hatred! Why do people feel that people who have seen and experience some type of detestment base on their skin color want to just bring it up? It is hard to forget when it surrounds you everyday in some form or some unkind word or action!!! Were you there in Georgia, at my college classroom, in the 70's when the teacher was teaching that Black people's brain was inferior to their White counterpart? I could tell you more but apparently it would be a waste of time from the above comment. I will stand, always, to let those who downtrodden others know it is wrong. You can believe what you want, but YAHSHUA sees it all. HE was rejected too so HE knows and HE will take care of the situation. It is true what the Bible says, how can you claim to love THE ALMIGHTY, who you have not seen and hate YOUR BROTHER or SISTER or COUSIN who see everyday. Miriam learned a lesson and this lesson was put their to let all know where THE MOST HIGH stands! Who wants to be mistreated? That's all I need to say and my prayers will be for all as well as my love! Blessing!

He [Adam] was more than twice as tall as men now living upon the earth, and was well proportioned. His features were perfect and beautiful. . . . Eve was not quite as tall as Adam. Her head reached a little above his shoulders. She, too, was noble, perfect in symmetry, and very beautiful. {CC 11.5}

I have read this as well; except I read that this is a tradition past down from Freemasons. They say Lilleth was evil and rebellious, so God had to dismiss her and make a new with (Eve) for Adam. I totally discount this, because these same people claim that Jesus never died on the cross, but that Jesus and Mary Magdalene got married and moved to France where they started the European royal families. BUNK! The historian Josephus talks about 13 - 15 foot tall skeletons being in display in Jerusalem until about the 3rd century BC. Other very tall skeletons have been discovered all over the world; but the mysteriously "disappear" after museums or governments take them over. The first Book of Enoch which was very popular with Second Temple Jews at the time of Christ deals almost exclusively with the fallen angel/Nephillim problem. Jude quotes from it; and Peter alludes to it. I have read where EGW claims Adam was very tall. PP page 29 talks about it. However, I have never seen it in scripture or read another author or commentator that makes this claim. Again B/W, thank you for sticking to the subject and expanding the discussion rather than demeaning the person with whom you disagree.
