WHAT IS THE COLOR OF GOD?

The sky has beautiful colors above us, yet no one knows the color of God

"Do not stare at me because I am dark, because I am darkened by the sun. My mother's sons were angry with me and made me take care of the vineyards; my own vineyard I had to neglect." 

This Biblical quotation can be traced at Song of Solomon 1:6.

Even though the Bible is said to be inspired by men of God, it is likely that before the white missionaries reached on the continent of Africa, most of the contents in the Holy Book have been changed to favor a particular race just to dominate another race.

Because there are some verses in the Bible that put readers into very deep thinking, wondering how could this appear in the Holy Book. 

According to the Bible in Genesis 1:27, "So God created mankind in his own image, in the image of God he created them; male and female he created them."

While the same Bible tells us at Ephesians 6:5, "Slaves, obey your earthly masters with respect and fear, and with sincerity of heart, just as you would obey Christ."

So if God created man in his own image, then who are the earthly masters and who are the slaves? There should be neither earthly masters nor slaves, even though all of us can't be equal because of different professions and academic backgrounds.

I can work for you and being paid for the services I am rendering to you. That doesn't make me a slave. Thus, creating barriers and denying the rights and freedom of people to be slaves, were evil plans of man. This doesn't come from God.

Many have reasons to believe that the Bible was tampered with, the fact that when Jesus came on earth to fulfill the mission His father gave him, there wasn't any camera. Jesus came decades before the birth of modern technology.

Isaiah described Jesus as "For he grew up before him like a young plant, and like a root out of the dry ground; he had no form or majesty that we should look at him, and no beauty that we should desire him."

And also Daniel the prophet, described Jesus by saying "I lifted up my eyes and looked, and behold, a man clothed in linen, with a belt of fine gold from Uphaz around his waist. His body was like beryl, his face like the appearance of lightning, his eyes like flaming torches, his arms and legs like the gleam of burnished bronze, and the sound of his words like the sound of a multitude."

So who among the men inspired by God, his disciples, or his followers had a camera to take a photograph of Jesus for us to see him today in the Holy Bible of a man with long hair and blue eyes? 

Fortunately or unfortunately, the invincible photographer took the picture of the devil, and the color was black. 

These are some of the reasons many have lost faith in Christianity today because there are certain things in the Bible that aren't accurate. They were changed by deceitful people to dominate another race, unfortunately, that race is the black people today.

The reason Africa alone is the continent among the seven continents that has suffered all kinds of cruelties, including slavery, colonial brutality, Apartheid, and biological weapons of HIV-Aids, Ebola, and other man-made diseases.

Nobody can ever claim of seeing the face of God, even the great prophets and those that had communication with the Almighty, including Moses, couldn't stare into the eyes of God because the holy book has made clear to us at John 4:24, "God is spirit, and his worshipers must worship in the Spirit and in truth."

Why does the world suffer violence today over racial problems because of your ignorance, pride, greed, and lack of understanding? Why should people become subjects of oppression and domination because of the color of his or her skin?

After death, according to Ecclesiastes 12:7, "the dust returns to the earth as it was, and the spirit or the soul returns to God who gave it." 

Therefore, those white people killing blacks because of racial prejudice, are just wasting their time. Firstly, no one lives forever, and secondly, killing a black man is not a full task of eliminating him from the surface of this earth.

If they don't want to see the face of the black man again, then both his body and the spirit must be destroyed completely. The latter is what they can't destroy because the spirit belongs to God. That means white killers, you have been defeated by the black man.

THE MYSTERY OF CREATION AND DEATH

The skull: The inevitable end of life

,
Who are we and where did we come from? With different kinds of people, languages, customs, cultures, etc, many questions about creation remain unanswered.

What about death? That is more complicated than creation because many have different theories and opinions about death. Some say that the soul goes back to God after death while others believe in reincarnation, that is, the soul, upon the death of the body, comes back to earth in another body or form.

However, the Bible says:  “For the living know they will die, but the dead do not know anything nor have they any longer a reward, for their memory is forgotten.  Indeed, their love, their hate, and their zeal have already perished, and they will no longer have a share in all that is done under the sun…”

The book of Genesis says: “In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth.” Initially, that was what we were taught at school. Years after this Biblical account, the man now faces the most difficult challenge in believing this Biblical account about creation.

Worldwide, hundreds of people, including so-called creationists, anti-Christian forces, and fundamentalists, continue to change the Bible’s account of creation into numerous tales that deviate from what the Bible really says.

The belief that there is no God and Darwin’s theory, which rejects the account of creation in Genesis, has caused many people to dismiss the Bible account as mythical allegory. 

It’s not surprising to see big churches throughout Europe virtually empty on Sundays, reserved only for the dead to receive his or her last respect before burial.

 Several people have accepted Darwin’s theory over the Biblical account, as many churches are being converted to drinking pubs, restaurants, and libraries.  

Even though many still are confused over where man originally came from, some continue to play God by taking someone’s life who euthanasia, when he can’t bring the dead back to life.

Since God has given man the opportunity to choose, thus; let those, lean on Darwin’s theory continue to do so, and others who believe in the Genesis creation account also continue supporting the Scriptures. But one question which many find hard to answer is: Where do we go after death?

Different religions have different opinions about death, yet another part of the Bible reveals: “For whoever is joined with all the living, there is hope; surely a live dog is better than a dead lion.” Both the creation of the human being and death will always remain a mystery because it’s something that takes us by surprise. 

One may cheat death, yet death is inevitable. When it strikes, like the fall of both fresh and dry leaves, it takes away the young and the old.

Doctors struggle to save lives, and incubators save babies, but why has no onegothe, brought a dead man back to life? Is it true that there is life after death? Where does the soul goes after death? Is there reincarnation after death? Are we going to see our loved ones already dead when we also die?

Even though I have no answers to those questions, I can’t depend on Darwin’s theory, because it has no roots. Since the Scripture says: “Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will never pass away.” I will depend on and believe in the account of creation in the book of Genesis.
