Who said anything about being seperated by skin color? I said god made man in his image. The first man he made was a Black man and the first woman was a Black woman. Thats not only a biblical fact its a scientific fact.Obviously you dont realize that when one makes a representation of himself you make it look as much like you as you can. Do you care to comment on the questions I brought out instead of pretending that representation doesnt mean the same thing as saying man was made in gods image?If you want to start a thread on if you believe in skin type charts or not be my quest. Your credentials to decide if skin types are valid on my thread are non existent.Nope. I said only white people practiced violence in a racial context. No they never messed with white people because they lived in the wilds of europe. Since god was Black as well it makes sense Black people would follow him being made in his image and all.
I never asked you what you believed in. It really doesnt matter because we have medical professionals that do believe in skin type scales.

Your right, you never asked me what I believe in , and likewise, no one ever asked you what you believed in as handed down from your grandmother. Funny how useless information gets tossed around on a message board.
there's nothing more objective than God being either Black or white, its highly doubtful that God being a spirit would have a color like human beings. Especially if he existed before the earth was created.
Who told you god was a spirit and why should I believe that person when god says he made man in his image?
Your idea of God's Image is based on the English translation and Western Thinking. Its obvious there is a deeper meaning to the Hebrew original text. I'll fing a link in about 1 minute easily.
Image (Strong's #6754)
The word צלם (tselem) is literally a shadow which is the outline or representation of the original.
And Elohiym, the Great Powerful One, filled the man with a representation of himself .
When we read "And God created man in his own image" our minds form a mental picture of what we look like and then attribute this picture to God himself. In the Hebrews mind it is not the appearance of something that they concentrate on but its function. This passage is not implying a picture of man or God but their function. Through the Hebrew words of this text we see that God had placed within man a shadow or representation of his own function - goal, purpose, thought, etc. It is our responsibility to live our lives as representatives of God, acting in the same manner as he would.
As you can see, your idea about Shape and color is superficial. rather rudimentary thinking.

noun

3. a thing, especially a picture or model, that depicts a likeness or reproduction of someone or something.
I mean can you explain why supposedly white people were turned white as punishment instead of being turned Black?
What you dont see is that God transcends Color as we know it. Your just not able to transcend your hangups on skin color. To be made in God's Image - is what seperated us from the animals, Not each other based on skin color.
Man was made in Gods image in that we were made a spiritual being inside with a desire to create even as God creates. Its a deeper meaning, I'm sorry you cant see it
Dont be sorry. You can make up whatever story you like to rationalize why god didnt first make a white man.
