Dear Gerlinda and Linda,

Gerlinda, I really admire your courage in breaching this subject. I found the Scriptures you quoted as excellent proof of the skin color of both David and Moses, and they could very well have been fair skinned. Yet, in fact, all MANKIND, as humans, are considered to be "ruddy"!

Let's take a look at the meaning of the word "man" used in the following quotes from Genesis.

Gen 1:26
Then God said, “Let Us make MAN in Our image, according to Our likeness; let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over the cattle, over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.”

Gen 1:27
So God created MAN in His own image; in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them.

The word "man" in both of these verses is H120 taken from H119:

H120
'âdâm
aw-dawm'

From H119 ; {ruddy} that {is} a human being (an individual or the {species} { mankind } etc.): - X {another} + {hypocrite} + common {sort} X {low} man ({mean} of low {degree}) person.


H119
'âdam
aw-dam'
To show blood (in the {face}) that {is} flush or turn rosy: - be ({dyed} made) red (ruddy).

So, all mankind is ruddy, or has blood that will color their skin. The lighter the skin the more red would show. To use this description to prove that a man was dark skinned or light skinned may not be as valid because all mankind is "ruddy".

That being said, I think it is a distraction from the Truth to even consider why skin color would be of any consequence to God? God judges the heart, not the skin!!! It is just another way to bring division into the One Body of Christ. The Spirit matters not the flesh!!

Therefore, it matters not the color of the skin, as you said Gerlinda, but the believing in Christ, as either the future Messiah in the Old Testament, or the Messiah Christ Jesus who has come, in the New Testament. It is all about Jesus, the Christ, that unites all the people of God.

I am sorry Linda, as I see what you are conveying as a source of dividing the Body instead of uniting it in Christ. I feel it does not change the Truth of the Scriptures or the Gospel in anyway that adds more light to their revelation.

The House of Israel and the House of Judah HAS BEEN UNITED IN CHRIST!! Red and yellow, black and white we are all precious in His sight, we are all special in Christ, we are all His people, all those who have given our lives to Him.

I am with you Gerlinda, we are to be uniting and not dividing the Body of Christ.

With love to you both in His Name,

Patti C.

Dear Linda,

I just want to add here how surprised I was when I viewed the two web pages you used to try and prove your point and found at the bottom of them both these words:

"The True Name Of God (YAH)"

Now, I know you find this offensive and have written against names like Yah and Yahweh etc. I am surprised you would believe anything such a site would write, if you totally disagree with their use of the name of God.

To me, it detracts from any "truth" that you were trying to convey.

JESUS IS ALL AND EVERYTHING!!

To All:

Truth can be gleaned from many different sources. It is my desire as also the desire from the Most High, that discernment is ALWAYS needed when reading our viewing ANYTHING. For some, things may be presented out of ignorance of the truth of a matter. Knowing this, the reader or viewer will be able to glean freely and not throw the baby out with the bath water.

The Most High forbid we dislike and have nothing to do with all people who are still sitting in these churches, waiting to be raptured and knowing they are being feed many lies. Instead, we love them with the love of Christ and pray they will receive their call to come out of her, and turn to seek ALL truth.

Blessed Be His Name
