God planned it this way. This is why the three major races survived the Flood during the time of
Noah and are a part of the human race today. And each race is loved greatly and appreciated by God
along with their offspring.
The following is a quote from Mr. Armstrong making known how all three races survived
the Flood:
“Japheth and Ham, both white, had inter-married. Japhethmarried a yellowwoman,
and Ham married a black woman. This preserved the strains, yellow and black, through
the Flood into the present world through their wives. Both Shem and Noah were white.”
“After God had finished His creation, which included the varieties that would come into existence
from and within the KINDS,
“He saw everything He had made, and indeed it was very good
[cf. Genesis 1:31].”
End of Quotes
God’s Caring Love is Shown Throughout His Creation
The Scriptures found here in these two chapters, and related Scriptures, make well known God’s
intention and desire to preserve the diversity, distinction, and purity of His creation. At the same time,
they point to Him as the Master Designer, Artist, Creator, and lawgiver.
And in a situation where one has not conformed to these laws one can come to see over time the
mistakes made have brought about confusion along with tears and sorrow when experiencing the
effects of broken laws.
God’s laws are designed to be a blessing to all who obey them rather than the curse for disobedience
(cf. Leviticus 26;
Deuteronomy 28).
God’s late apostle stated God’s laws are inexorable and many
Scriptures prove this to be true!
They are always in motion like the laws of inertia and gravity bringing blessings to the obedient and
curses on those who go contrary to them.
Though the penalty for disobeying them is not always immediate, nevertheless the payment will be
exacted unless there is repentance. And though one does repent it is often too late to undo the penalty.
