Churches teach what is politically correct. Those who hate Christ teach that we are all the same and that race is only a social construct. They teach that there are no difference between peoples except for themselves of course. Christians have also been taught that it isn’t race, it is faith that is important. Many who travel or do missionary work know none of this is true. Those who do in depth study in scripture of this know this is not true. If you believe these lies then you have to ask yourself why concerning the following information that is never taught in churches. Why did they never try to convert people of forbidden lineages?
I was reminded of this while listening to Jeremiah 25 where twice one finds the phrase “mingled people”. God made the races. He noted a difference between them in the text of scripture. Here is my list of verses that mention mixed or mingled people from many years ago.
Exodus 12:38, Numbers 11:4, Ezra 9:2, Nehemiah 13:3, Psalms 106:35, Jeremiah 25:20, 24, Jeremiah 50:37, Ezekiel 30:5, Hosea 7:8, and in the Greek, Philippians 2:15.
To be complete for all the scriptures concerning only people one must include Leviticus 20:24 and 26.
Leviticus 20:24, 26 “But I have said to you, You shall inherit their land, and I, I am giving it to you to possess it, a land that flows with milk and honey. I am Yahweh your God, who has separated you from the nations. And you shall be holy to Me. For I, Yahweh, am holy, and have severed you from the nations, so that you should be Mine.”
The word bloods when in the plural denotes blood from different races. “Bloods toucheth bloods” means intercourse with one of another race. The word toucheth includes the meaning of sexual intercourse. Here scripture calls bloods touching bloods adultery.
Hosea 4:2 “By swearing, and lying, and killing, and stealing, and committing adultery, they break out, and bloods toucheth bloods.”
and
John 1:13 “Which were born, not of bloods, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.”
There are three words that need proper definition. In the Hebrew and Greek the word adultery has the meaning of adulteration, to mix, miscegenate. The word translated bastard in the old testament comes from a Hebrew word that means mongrel. The word holy is translated from a word that includes the meaning of physically pure.
The one verse that many will point to is in Acts. Here is what the Greek says.
Acts 17:26 “And hath made of one blood some of all nations of men for to dwell on some of all the face of the earth, and hath determined the times before appointed, and the bounds of their habitation”.
The context is Israel. Israel was a scattered people at the time of this writing with most of them in Europe and only a remnant left in Judea and Galilee. They were becoming the promised “many nations” of scripture. Going after strange flesh is adultery.
Jude 1:7 “Even as Sodom and Gomorrah, and the cities about them in like manner, giving themselves over to fornication, and going after strange flesh, are set forth for an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire.”
In the following we are told to be separate. This is a physical separation.
2 Corinthians 6:14-18 “Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness? And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel? And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people. Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate (set off by boundary), saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean; and I will receive you, And will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty.”
The context of 2 Corinthians 6:17 is people. The word thing is not in the Greek text. It was added by the translators, a violation of Revelation 22. It does not belong.
Hosea actually has quite a bit in chapter 7 concerning Ephraim.
Hosea 7:8 “Ephraim mixed himself among the peoples; Ephraim is a cake not turned.”
So what is a cake not turned? Imagine that you are making pancakes and you forget to flip one. It will be black on one side and white on the other.
Hosea 7:10 “And the pride of Israel testifieth to his face.”
Why? Because his face looks noticeably different. The word strangers includes the concept of adultery.
Hosea 7:9 “Strangers have devoured his strength.”
Notice that in all the scripture never once are others ever offered conversion. Christ never offered conversion to Herod or Pilot. Christ told the Edomite Pharisees that they could not hear His voice nor believe Him. Marriage was forbidden with other groups because of their race or nationality. In Ezra and Nehemiah conversion was never considered, never mentioned. One part that is never mentioned is the sexual practices of some of the forbidden lineages in scripture. They would pollute and introduce defects into the lineage of Israel if allowed.
A good example is Judah. He sinned by taking a Canaanite woman. God would not allow that lineage to be a part of Christ’s heritage. Tamar was the answer provided by God to continue the line of Judah.
Another is that Ruth was an Israelite. She was from the Land of Moab that was, at that time, the home to the two and a half tribes of Israel. They stayed on the East side of Jordan. Even though no Moabites lived there, the land retained the name of Moab just as the land of Canaan.
There are truths concerning race and the blood of different races that were known in scientific literature in the 1950’s, but have been quietly ignored for many years. There is more, but if this information has not convinced one, then the rest won’t either. One must decide to go with scripture or stay politically, socially acceptable.
Philippians 2:15 “That you may be blameless and unmixed, the sons of God, without rebuke, in the middle of a crooked and perverse race, among whom you shine as lights in the world.”
