The jews concocted a story about how life started from their race and how they are the fathers of all nation and you lot believe them? Smh! Try and calculate the distance from garden of eden (present day middle east) and Australia you will understand that no level of migration will make man move from middle east to australia within 2,000 yrs.
And the Noah flood? Another bull crap! Talking snakes and donkeys? Bull crap!
The more you understand that these things were concocted for a supremacy purpose, the better for you.

The bible you adore, reverence and defend with all your life was assembled at the council of Nice by mere mortals like you and I. They threw away some books they felt wouldn't suit their purpose and accepted the ones they wanted.

cupid1:
i feel like hugging u right now, tot no one would mention this fact. There was even a bible book that spoke of jesus having affairs with women and the council intentionally decided to omit it from the bible because it didn't portray jesus as the son of the supreme being(God)

johnydon22:


Every society have their own mythology on how life began... Egyptians, igbos, greeks, persians, yorubas, every race and people have theirs even the jews plagiarized theirs from the mesopetamian creation myth but these guys prefer the jewish fable that was sold to them by foreign missionaries making them ignore their own folklores and mythology..

I read all those gospels. I read the gospel of mary magdalene, that of thomas and that of judas is'cariot. I read about the early christians and the crusaders. Xtians seem to be satisfied with the little that was given to them. Those men at Nice made a thoroughly selection and inserted phrases like 'don't add or remove', 'everything written in the scriptures is approved of god' bla bla bla! Christians even consider it blasphemous to seek for knowledge outside the man-made bible. As long as they are concerned, that book is the 'beginning and the end' and they actually feel it was thrown down from heaven!

cupid1:
please where did u read dem cos i really need to do so too, i've only heard of them...even the lost book of the bible

johnydon22:


They are called the gnostic gospels, their were more than 300 hundred of them but most were burnt after the council of nice voted in four gospels you have now out of more than 300... Only few are still around.

Btw some part of the quran were based on these gnostic gospels too

Those bunch of old catholic bishops in the council of nice along with emperor Constantine carefully formulated all this christian fables that people now kill themselves over..

cupid1:
i read them yesterday and i'm currently reading 'the lost book of the bible' which documents jesus' childhood and some miracles which were not included in the gospels of mathew, mark, luke and john

First of all, i would like to begin by stating that i am by no means an atheist. I was born and brought up in a christian home. But in my years as a christian, i have come to find out that some things in the bible don't really add up. I have asked around and still haven't gotten any reasonable answer so i decided to post the question here on nairaland.
My question is: "if we all originated from Adam and Eve, then why are some people dark in complexion and others are light skinned"
i mean, if they were both dark then why aren't we dark all over the world and if they were both light skinned, then why aren't we all light skinned. Or did God decide to play a trick on us and decide to bring racism into existence.
And secondly if life originated in europe, dem how did people living in other continents cross over and how is it that when the europeans built the first sea sailing ships that came to africa, the africans were still amazed. Surely, they wouldn't be amazed if they had sailed to africa in a similar way
I hope i get reasonable answers and not some people talking about the credibility of my religious upbringing.

Let us use biology to enlighting ourselves as to this topic.
Are you familiar with the Mendel's law (third) from wiki- Mendel's Law of Dominance states that recessive alleles will always be masked by dominant alleles. Therefore, a cross between a homozygous dominant and a homozygous recessive will always express the dominant phenotype, while still having a heterozygous genotype.

Black person is the most dominant, while white is the most recessive. Mongolian varies between very light brown to light yellow which includes the Japanese, Chinese, Thailander etc. Mongolian crossed the baring straits into the western part of the planet, the americas, there they met with black people mixed with them and killed of some blacks over a long period of mixed breed they turned into the red indians.
Then we have the caucasian with blond, red or light brown hair with blue or green eyes(these are traits of the most recessive gene.)

so if whites(caucasians) were first, there would never have been mongolians and the phoenicians(white skinned but with black or brown eyes with black hair), the red indians and there won't have been definitely blacks.

If Mongolians were first, there won't have been the phoenicians, the blacks, but there would be the caucasians
If There was Phoenicians first, there will be others except blacks.
It goes to show that Blacks were the first. where then did other races come from?

some biased black people who hate themselves so much and sold the love of theirselves to white will tell you that they moved from Africa, and when they got into a cold region they turned white overtime (this is utterly rubbish). compare that with the relationship between the blacks and the mongolians (which made more sense?)

Some who delude themselves with being scholars, will tell that they other races evolved from black people. like the evolution theory was sane.

THE TRUTH IS THE BLACK PEOPLE INTENTIONALLY MADE THE OTHER RACES THROUGH DELIBRATE BREEDING CALLED GRAFTING.
Blacks are of different shades, blacks have both the recessive gene and the dominant gene. thus we have blacks that are very black and blacks that like dark brown skin. breeding the brown unto the brown will produce light brown, and the selective breeding continued for 666 years till we got the caucasian man(white with blond and blue eyes).
there are 60,000 Blackmen and blackwomen who did this. Their leader is named Yahweh (Yakub), and the 59,999 others are his messengers like angel Michael, Gabriel, etc. Together the 60,000 are called Eloheim. They got permission from the LORD GOD (THE ORIGINATOR), to make these new people to rule for 6000 years.

i will be making a new tread to discuss this in perfect detail. it will include the basic science of the African people, how the black people created the universe.

cupid1:
so u mean yahweh and eloheim, which people claim are some of God's names are black men and women i.e humans. If so tell me if they're dead and why some people still worship them

emrain:
after the incident at the tower of babel, don't you think God must have altered the genes of these people that went their separate ways to match the weather conditions of the places they found themselves? if God could transform king Nebuchadnezzar into pig, don't you think God might have tranformed chickens into girls that satisfied these men, especially those lonely ones? "I" believe the different climate conditions and race became an issue because men allowed themselves to be decieved by satan. these things(race, snow, heat, rain etc) were made by God and everything that is made by God is perfect.

asala1:


Let assume God created everyone, why is it that God love some people (The Hebrew people) more than others and was willing to destroy them? If the Israelites were passing through Nigeria during the exodus, do you believe they will destroy the country?

emrain:



God regretted creating man. but the father of Israel was a very good friend of God, God made a promise to him and God's words can't return to him void. so He made sure He kept his promise to Abraham. but glory be to God, Jesus has paid the ultimate price, we are all now sons of God as long as you love God and keep his commandments. and God's love for His children are equal. it's now left to you to understand Him and stop living a pitiable life out of ignorance.

gatiano:
When the black people were still conscious of who they were, they would live for 7000 years, some lived and are still living for 700,000 years, The ones that created the heavens and the earth lived for trillions of years. The question is how do we calculate time? Time started when the earth began to rotate. That was not this earth, that was the very first earth from which the entire universe was created. Ages were reduced in order to check and control over population. (all these would be discussed in my/our new tread).

Now, Does anybody knows what happened to the bodies of Moses, Elijah, Jesus, Muhammad and few others? They were kept in comatose(supreme science of preserving bodies), they can last for how long they intended to last. However their spirits ascended to the custody of the Most High. They can return to their body or be born afresh as a new baby, such as Jesus and few others. Black people don't die, only the body expires(fear not those who can kill the body, but fear that who(GOD) can destroy the body, soul and spirit). energy can neither be created nor destroyed(this is white ignorant version), energy can be created and destroyed say the black elders. so black people can re-incarnate. non-blacks too don't die, only their spirit don't belong to them so they cannot re-incarnate, they are only assured of everlasting life if they are righteous.

johnydon22:


Hmmmm so God even regrets huh... i thought he was omniscient, he knows everything before they happen... so he surely must have know man will fall... so how come he regretted?

Firstly, (and forgive me, Cupid1, if this comes across a little offensive - that's really not my intention), if you (and all of us too) just read books, you would be in the best position to answer these questions yourself.

Even if we remove Christianity from your reasonings, the answers concerning a) the diversity of races, b) the oldest remains of Homo sapiens found and c) the translocation of the earliest people, all can be found within books.

Your best bet is to dedicate some of your own time to studying these questions (the Internet is brimming with interesting and conflicting theories). Through this, you can make your own informed conclusions on the origin of races and so on.

I would love to see a follow up post on YOUR OWN theory behind the existence of different races - I think it will generate a more informed discussion/debate.
