But that is what I am: an ambassador for Christ. The Bible states that we (those of us who have faith in Jesus Christ for salvation from sin) are, ambassadors for Christ.
2 Corinthians 5:20
Now then, we are ambassadors for Christ , as though God were pleading through us: we implore you on Christ’s behalf, be reconciled to God .

So why do you drive the flock away?

There are several reasons why someone might be turned off my what I say. But the beauty of this is that as long as the seed of the Word of God has been sown (planted) into the heart of the reader, I believe that someone else will water it, and God will give the increase. I am in no way deterred by rejection in terms of telling others about Jesus. Besides, people aren't rejecting me anyway, they are rejecting Him who sent me. The Lord Jesus has more experience than I do of being rejected. Stop and think about all of the people who have probably heard the gospel of Jesus Christ, but have yet to believe it, and accept the One who the message is about. So, I don't take rejection personally. Jesus was even rejected by many of His disciples.
Luke 10:16
He who hears you hears Me, he who rejects you rejects Me , and he who rejects Me rejects Him who sent Me.”
John 12:48
He who rejects Me, and does not receive My words, has that which judges him—the word that I have spoken will judge him in the last day.
John 6:66
From that time many of His disciples went back and walked with Him no more.

But, the fact that Africans are smelly sub-humans, is reason enough to know they weren't the first, for everyone knows God cursed them by turning their skin black.
Thats is totally off-topic.Science doesn't say where man began for sure, they only have theories.
According to the Bible however, the Garden of Eden was in Iraq-Iran-Saudi Arabia.
Originally posted by Grand_Moff_Gavyou can't prove where Adam and Eve lived, using science in your theory, if they don't exist.
What does that have to do with anything? Pointless posts from people who clearly arn't actually interested in the topic at hand.

But they do exist.

Wow, that's a big pile of shit.
I'd also like to point out that it's only a matter of time before someone points out that you are the one making a claim, thus the burden of proof is on you. It'll probally be Adam_PoE.
They were human first and foremost. Based on the geographic area where the Garden of Eden is thought to be, they possibly could have been considered "black" by today's standards. Keep in mind though that race was rather irrelevant during their time because everyone essentially looked the same.
Now the real question and debate is not whether or not if Adam, Eve, or Jesus were black, but as to whether or not when Jesus come's down upon his return -- will his tongue really look literally like a sword?
I have to admit, that would be the only thing that could freak me out. I don't care if he's black, white, gray, blue, green, whatever, but it would take some time to get used to the tongue-sword thing...😆
If my guess is correct though, I'm betting the tongue-sword reference mentioned in revelations is more of a metaphor, relating to the power of Jesus's word, specifically in it's ability bring forth life or death. Hopefully this guess is correct, I mean..I'd still accept him even with a sword as a tongue..but it woud definitely take me a while to get used to it.

Co-signed, for everyone who wants to have their cake (didn't exist) and eat it, too (prove their counterpoint.)
That's the problem with a lot of non-believers;
"extreme unlikeliness" is their means of dismissal. That goes for virtually everything. How lazy.

Ok Adam and Eve were Middle-Eastern but aren't there Middle-Eastern Africans.So what everyone is trying to say is that
Adam and Eve were born in Iraq.Adam and Eve are Iraqis?
If they existed then possibly, just because
they were "created" in Iraq doesn't mean
they were Arabs, most likely they were white
and the tanned sun has darkend their decedents skins.
That is the only logical explanation, white
people get darker, black people don't get paler.
