You're right ...Thanks for your response, Roger. You're right that the bible doesn't uses these words in a racial way. I'm not trying to suggest that the bible is racist--indeed, how could the Word of God be such? <br /><br />I do think the bible has been used in that way though, and also that in the context of modern ears we much be careful to give context to the words of scripture we quote, just as you have. Otherwise, words of love get mangled into words of hate by our corporate sins of racism. <br /><br />I'll see what I can do to clarify this point above.StrngeFruithttp://bytheirstrangefruit.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1475128319218423248.post-78998896304345939332012-06-23T21:24:14.058-04:002012-06-23T21:24:14.058-04:00The "white as snow" is not racist.

But if you keep reading in verse 6 you will see that part of that dark skin was tanning from working in the sun. It does not say "black," either. So it is not good exegesis to say with certainty that it was a racist situation. However, racism is very real. And in the Lord's body it is wrong. (Gal. 3:28)Roger L.
