Calling All Lost Black Hebrew Decendents & Decendents of Tribe of Ham: Here's Your Chance to Learn Hebrew!! (1766 hits)
The Biblical Hebrew Course starts July 11th. The course offers you a chance to enrich your Biblical knowledge and reveals to you the depth and the beauty of the sacred scriptures in their original language;
Israelite relations with their Canaanite neighbors will be investigated by taking a look at the usage of Canaanite religious names by the Israelites. . There is a limited number of places available, so make sure you are not left out.
Admittedly, the conclusion might be somewhat presumptuous, considering the scanty evidence. Yet, whether you agree or not, it should at least be an interesting case study in cultural and religious relations between neighbors, the historical context of the Bible, and the language of the Bible.
The registration for the July semester is open! Enroll in the July Modern Hebrew course, starting July 25th. Hone, improve and develop your Hebrew skills.
Brother Harry, I don't know. Would you like to tell me what you think?

Sister Jen, I took a year of Hebrew in college (I was a Classical Languages major). Don't remember too much of it but it's an interesting language. Harry, We all know that the curse of Ham is a bunch of BS, perpetuated by racism.

The curse of Ham has nothing to do with Black Americans since Black Americans are not written about in the Bible. I told you before that the Bible is the Jewish people’s testimony to the world of how God has helped them in their times of trouble as well as help them personally.
Our religious book is forthcoming. Right now, what we are doing is following the religious book of the Jewish people and the European gentiles. Again, our religious book is forthcoming.
[We all know that the curse of Ham is a bunch of BS, perpetuated by racism.]
I agree with what Brother Steve has stated in the above quote. This is what I think.

Hello Jen,
You said this, “[We all know that the curse of Ham is a bunch of BS, perpetuated by racism.]”
Perhaps you did not know until Steve said that the curse of ham is nonsense. In fact, you said in your post dated June 22 at 11:49 p.m. that you did not know and you wanted me to tell you, am I right.
Anyway, since you feel that it is nonsense then you do not believe everything you read in the Bible even though you are a Christian. How do you reconcile such discrepancy with yourself when a devout Christian is to believe everything in the Bible since it is the word of God?
Lastly, could you logically show me why it is not to be believed?
Remember, I do not ask any questions that I do not have the answer to already.
Your question is to Jen but I will point out that the bible merely states that Ham was cursed and went south. Later Christian interpretation is what connected Ham the the people of Africa.

@ Brother Steve,
Actually Ham wasn't cursed, the curse was placed on his decendents (Caanan).
22 And Ham, the father of Canaan, saw the nakedness of his father, and told his two brothers outside. 24 When Noah awoke from his wine and knew what his youngest son had done to him, 25 he said, "Cursed be Canaan; A slave of slaves shall he be to his brothers." 26 He also said, "Blessed by the Lord my God be Shem; and let Canaan be his slave.
Noah’s pissed-off at Ham but he curses his grandson, Canaan. (Verse 25) He says "A slave of slaves shall you be to your brothers." Why is he cursing his innocent grandson who’s not in this story at all; who’s only mentioned in passing?
(the sons of Ham: Cush, Egypt, Put, and Canaan. These are all ancient civilizations in Africa. Let’s trace the descendents of the innocent cursed Canaan. Go to genesis 10:15-20 and you’ll see that the descendents of Canaan actually end up populating a large portion of the Middle East.
Canaan was the Promised Land (roughly were present day Israel is now) that Moses led the children of Israel to, which means they were actually fighting their own relatives for the so-called Promised Land.)
