That "curse of Ham" thing was and is still common.

The problem is, not all of the "descendants of Ham" were ever considered "African" in any way. The inhabitants of Shinar and Nimrod himself descended from Ham.

If anyone hates anyone else, it isn't because of a television preacher with a bad toupee. It is because of personal issues they themselves are dealing with.
When a person or a group doesn't want to except the "other" they will find the weakest link to pick at.

NoW, I noticed that you bypassed my question. You discovered a problem, yet you haven't offered a solution. Since, loose lips sink ships, would you care to advise us on how to prevent a situation like Robertson's foible happening in the future?

"They were under the heel of the French ... and they got together and swore a pact to the devil. They said, 'We will serve you, if you get us free from the French.' True story."



So the devil agreed, and the Haitians revolted and kicked the French out, the host of The 700 Club and founder of CBN went on, adding: "But ever since, they have been cursed by one thing after the other."

Guess it wouldn't have anything to do with Haiti sitting right on top of a volcano, would it?

Oh please, it rains on the just and the unjust. Every great disaster is not a judgment of God. Is there really anyway to tell which disasters are and which are not God's judgments?

SIN brings about "bad things" as a result of the sin itself.... but this is not the same as the "wrath of God". For instance, the corruption and crime bring about poverty which also (surprise surprise) can and does lead to radically slip shod construction.

That's where my tax dollars have been going! Lousy cisterns that can't hold water are leaking tax money too!

Ezekiel 18:20-22 is how God judges people and their nation.

Well, Pastor, you have your work cut out for you. I'll add you to the prayer list. Keep up the good work, and keep pounding the pavment. Keep telling the world about Jesus the One True Living God.

:thumbsup
