I found one problem about the colors of people

This is why I don't believe in the bible, for one we don't know who wrote it, and the bible is just one of the books that is supposed to be THE book, who knows plus it has been interpreted in so many ways, no-boddy know....better to listen to your inner voice.

You said it yourself, Ham was not cursed. Whether he was the beginning of black people or not doesn't matter because it was Canaan, his son, who was cursed and this Canaan was the father of the Canaanites, the people who lived in the land that God gave to Israel.

Just curious! How do you know Ham was black?

Sometimes I think there are many mysteries of the Bible that not even a minister or Priest can fathom correctly. I like to think our God is a gentle God and that he loves all regardless of color, race, looks, etc. There are many twists and turns within a bible and everyone can give a version of their own. I had to do the old testament homeschooling my son in his Junior year of High school. All I can say is WHEW. When I remember all the stories such as Noah's Ark, the birth of Jesus, the story of Ruth, Adam and Eve, all that I remember from Sunday school and Bible School, well let me tell you, teaching the whole testament for one year, there were stories even I had not ever remembered being told. Now when my son and I pull his report card out and I forget what he got on a grade I recently looked at his Geometry and he had an A in it. I said Nick Look Good Job! He in turn will look up the Bible on the Old Testament and see A- and say MOM Look GOOD JOB. naturally we both laugh. But I have to admit, we spent many hours researching and learning on the Old Testament. What is even harder while you may think one way, or think you do, taking the course was amazing because it allowed you to think openly. I have to say my son and I both enjoyed taking the credit that was required of him to graduate! Listen to your heart when you are reading the religious book of choice. Open and allow to let your heart see as you read. Not always an easy task. But I learned this even more while teaching this to my son.

Biblical theology is for those "real" professional well-learned person sponsored by HIS Infinite goodness, but it tends to be overdone by some who's I think is not capable in doing so. Some were just to annoy the topic and make negative issues out of it. I don't believe in the negatives some where interpreting from the bible. Does it make sense? Some will say yes for sure! If I don't understand the hidden story or purpose in some bible context... I live it hanging. No big deal! I believe, knowing the true meaning lying words-by-words in the bible needs HIS divine grace to really understand it. One thing I'm sure of, dark-skinned people were not cursed and not a slave!

Interesting discussion. If you read the whole account, you will notice that "Noah was perfect in his generations". Some have interpreted this to mean that Noah was racially pure, in other words a white man. That creates a small problem. How did all three main races white, black and oriental survive the flood if Noah was a pure white man. To solve this the wives of the three sons must have included the races other than white. Many believe the mark of Cain for killing his brother Abel was dark skin. Ham's wife then would have been a descendant of Cain. This way we can biblically preserve the races through the flood. Personally I think it is an interpretation without merit. For starters we have no idea what the mark of Cain actually was. The bible doesn't say. If it was skin colour, everyone could have just as easily started out black and God just decided to bleach Cain to mark him. Secondly the sentence purportedly referring to Noah's racial purity could just is easily if not more appropriately be referring to the purity of his relationship with the creator. If racial purity isn't an issue at all then we don't have to invent ways to genetically get all three races through the flood. What exactly happened between Noah and Canaan is also something open to interpretation. The curse was on Canaan for whatever reason. To say this has anything to do with black people being cursed and destined to slavery is reading a lot into this.

Hmm that is one reason i do not read the bible, it is confusing. anyways, i believe that there are written stuff in the bible that are historical purposes.... but i do no believe that black people were cursed. They are even one of the most talented people i have seen.

Black people are not cursed people and slaves. Don’t judge people by its color. Colors are not defined who they are. I am not agreeing on what other people says that black people are bad people because there are white people who are sinners. All of us are equal whether white or black. It’s our attitude differs.
