Men and women in the Bible

 

 

6. Why are there people whose skin colour is different from ours? Is it because of a curse?

 

 

Concerning the origin of black people (for I suppose that when you speak of people whose skin colour is different from ours you refer to black people), I cannot give you any answer because the Bible does not speak of it. Some – for instance, the Mormons – teach that the first black was Cain because according to them the mark which God set on Cain, lest anyone finding him should kill him, was the black skin (Genesis 4:15). I do not accept this teaching because it has no biblical basis.
