II. WHAT DOES THE BIBLE SAY ABOUT RACIAL INTEGRATION, INTERMARRIAGE, AND AMALGAMATION?

If all people had obeyed these teachings, there would be NO RACE –MIXING AND NO MIXED-BREEDS.

PREACHERS FAILED TO GIVE THESE FACTS!

GENESIS 1:24
"And God said, Let the earth bring forth the living creature after his kind, cattle, and creeping thing, and beast of the earth after his kind: and it was so."

***NOTE: In order for man, beast of fowl to reproduce "after his kind," they must remain separated and stay with there own kind. Man was the cause of a mule being here, but God keeps the mule from reproducing.

GENESIS 1:27

"So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them."

GENESIS 2:7
"And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul."
GENESIS 5:1

"This is the book of the generations of Adam. In the day that God created man, in the likeness of God made he him;"

GENESIS 9:6

"Whoso sheddeth man's blood, by man shall his blood be shed: for in the image of God made he man."

I CORINTHIANS 11:7

"For a man indeed ought not to cover his head, forasmuch as he is the image and glory of God: but the woman is the glory of the man."

***NOTE: God created man in the image of God. God is not a mix-breed, our God is perfect in all things.

Many hundreds of years have passed, and sin increased as people multiplied. Finally God brought forth the flood over the land. Only Noah and his family survived. Many more years have passed as the people again multiplied in numbers over the land.

***NOTE: The following verses of the scripture tell of the curse upon the family of Ham, and his people were turned black. This must have been a terrible sin.

GENESIS 9:22

"And Ham, the father of Canaan, saw the nakedness of his father, and told his two brethren without."
