IN THE IMAGE OF GOD

   -excerpt from "The Origins of Race and Civilization" - Charles Weisman

    The equalitarians, those who promote the "unity of man" concept, often 
state, in reference to Genesis 1:26-27, that "the Negro was created in God's 
image but carved in ebony."  They thus maintain that the Negro has the 
same common origin, the same essential attributes, the same moral and 
spiritual character as the white man.  However, the word "man" used in 
these verse is "ADAM" (aw-dawm'), thus indicating that God made the 
white, ruddy, Adamic race in His image.

    The word "image" used in Genesis 1:26-27 is the Hebrew word 
"TSELEM" (tseh'-lem), and it means "to shade," as being a "resemblance; 
hence a representative figure." (Strongs O.T. #6754)  Thus the "image" 
here means something made or shaded in a resemblance or likeness of 
something else, as was the case when "God created man (ADAM) in his 
own image (TSELEM)" in Genesis 1:27.  The word "shade" is often used 
to mean "similar," as in the phrase "shades of Rome," means similar or in 
"resemblance" to Rome. Adam was the shades of God, i.e., resembling 
God's image.

    We have seen that "white" represents certain things in Scripture.  God 
created Adam white so as to resemble Himself in sort of a symbolic 
manner.  God is represented as being white in the same manner He is 
represented as being male.  This figurative concept was transmuted into 
God's literal and physical creation of Adam, who was created a white 
male.  Adam was made white in the likeness or image of God, since all 
Godly things in Scripture are white or light in appearance.

    Some have claimed that Genesis 1:27 refers to the creation of the other 
races, but Genesis 5 makes it clear that only Adam was created in the 
image or likeness of God:
    1  This is the book of the generations of Adam.  In the day that God 
created man (ADAM), in the likeness of God made he him;
    2  Male and female created he them (Adam and Eve); and blessed them, 
and called their name Adam, in the day when they were created.
    3  And Adam lived hundred and thirty years, and begat a son in HIS 
OWN LIKENESS, AFTER HIS IMAGE (TSELEM); and called his name 
Seth.

    We see that these verses use some of the same language as used in 
Genesis 1:26-27 (also Gen. 9:6 - "for in the image (TSELEM) of God 
made he man (ADAM).")  This clearly tells us that only Adam was made 
in the "likeness" of God just as only Seth was begotten in the likeness of 
Adam and "after his image." (Gen. 1,2 and 5 all talk about the same 
creation of Adam but with different words.  To hold them as separate 
accounts causes great inconsistencies.  This style of writing, which repeats 
a certain account differently, is also used in Gen. 7, which repeats the 
events of the Flood recorded in Gen. 6, and then proceeds in more detail).  
The Hebrew word translated as "likeness," "DEMUWTH" (O.T.#1823), 
also means "resemblance".

    Adam was also the "son of God" (Luke 3:38) just as Seth was the son of 
Adam (Gen 5:3).  Thus, Adam was created in a type of comparable 
resemblance to God in a symbolic sense, which must of had something to 
do with Adam's physical and racial makeup.  Adam was of the white race 
because God's color scheme in Scripture portrays Godly things only as 
white or light, never dark or colored.


God's Chosen People

   The Bible does make some references to certain other races, sometimes
designated as nations, families, or people.  There is reference to the
Syrians, the Hittites, the Libyans, the Edomites, Chaldeans, the Egyptians,
 etc.,  which existed at the time of Israel (the Hebrews).  To these
surrounding nations Israel was usually looked upon as just another race or
nation.  But to God they were very special and different.
    The Bible is a very racially oriented Book - oriented towards one
race.  It was written about and for one racial family line that descended
from Adam.  Only Adam's genealogy is traced throughout the Bible.  IT 
was not written in regards to other people or races.  It no more traces the
history of Neanderthal men than it does Chinese or Australians since it is
a history book of only one man's family, that man is Adam.  As stated in
Genesis - "This is the book of the generations of Adam" (Gen. 5:1)

    Ten Generations from Adam came Noah and ten generations from Noah 
came Abraham.  In Gen. 12, God blesses Abraham and promises to make
him into a great nation.  In Gen. 21 Isaac is born to Abraham's wife Sarah,
and in Gen. 25, Isaac's wife, Rebekah, gives birth to Esau and Jacob.  
There in Gen 35:9-12, God appeared unto Jacob, changed his name to 
Israel, and reaffirmed the blessings he promised Abraham.  From that 
point on the Bible concerns itself only with the white Adamic descendants 
of Israel. All of the prophets of God were of Israel.  All of the laws, 
blessings, admonishments, covenants and prophesies pertain only to Israel. 
In other words, God specifically chose only one racial family - the white, 
Adamic, Israelite family - to be his people:
   "Yet now hear, O Jacob my servant: and Israel, WHOM I HAVE 
CHOSEN:...I will pour my spirt upon THY SEED, and my blessing upon 
THINE OFFSPRING." (Isa. 44:1-3, see also Isa 41:8-10)

   God chose only the Adamic-Israel race.  His spirit and His blessings
was prophesied to be only upon the racial descendants of Israel, not the
descendants of Indians, Negroes or Malayans.  God is referred to many
times as "the Holy One of Israel," never as the Holy One of Syrians,
Hittites, or Philistines.  As hard as it is for some to accept, God
chooses who He wants to be his people.  In other words, God does the
choosing and people have no say in the matter.  As Christ stated: "You
have not chosen me, but I have chosen you." (John 15:16)

   In the Old Test. God (Yehovah) has made it equally clear that He has
chosen and acknowledges only one race of people:
   "For thou Israel art an holy people unto the LORD thy God, and the 
LORD hath chosen thee to be a special people unto himself, ABOVE ALL 
THE NATIONS (RACES) THAT ARE UPON THE FACE OF THE 
EARTH." (Deut. 14:2 & 7:6)
   "At the same time, saith the LORD, will I be THE GOD OF ALL THE
FAMILIES OF ISRAEL, and they shall be my people." (Jer. 31:1, Jer. 
31:33)
   "ONly the LORD had a delight in thy [Israel's] fathers to love them,
and HE CHOSE THEIR SEED after them, EVEN YOU ABOVE ALL 
PEOPLE [races], AS IT IS THIS DAY." (DEUT. 10:15, also Deut 4:37)
   "YOU ONLY [ISRAEL] HAVE I KNOWN of all the families [races] of 
the earth; therefore I will punish you for all your iniquities." (Amos 3:2)
   "And I will walk among you [Israel], and WILL BE YOUR GOD, and 
YOU SHALL BE MY PEOPLE." (LEv. 26:12)
   "He [the LORD God] sheweth his word UNTO JACOB, his statutes and 
his judgements unto Israel. HE HATH NOT DEALT SO WITH ANY 
NATION: and as for his judgements, they have not known them. Praise ye 
the LORD." (Psalms 147:19,20)

   The Scriptures are quite clear that the God of the bible is not the God
of all the races or "families" of man, rather He is only the God of the
race of Israel whom He has "chosen for His own inheritance" (Psa. 
33:12), and has chosen "for His peculiar treasure" (Psa 135:4).  Only the 
Israel race is CHOSEN by God to be his SERVANT (1 Chron. 16:13).  
God clearly favors one race - the Israel race - over all other races that have 
existed on earth, past or present.

The "SONS OF GOD"

     In Luke 3:38, Adam is referred to as the "son of God."  Only the racial 
descendants of the Adamic family line are ever referred to as the "sons of 
God" or "children of God."  Israel is identified as "the sons of the living 
God."  (Hosea 1:10).  God calls Israel his "son" (Isaiah 45:11, Exodus 
4:22, Hosea 11:1)  Christ refers to Israel as "the children of your Father 
which is in heaven"  (matt 5:45).  There thus exists a type of father-son 
relationship between God and Israelites.
     Christians are also referred to by this title.  The Apostle John in writing 
to fellow Christian-Israelites states:
     "1  Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that 
we should be called the SONS OF GOD: therefore the world knoweth us 
not, because it knew him not.
     "2  Beloved, now ARE WE THE SONS OF GOD." (I John 3:1-2.  Also 
Acts 17:29)
  
     In the letter ot the Philippians the Apostle Paul refers to his Christian 
supporters as the "sons of God" (Phil. 2:15).  In Paul's letter to the 
Galatians, he informs them the reason Christ came to the world:
     "4  But when the fulness of the time was come, God sent forth his Son, 
made of a woman, made under the law,
     "5  To redeem them that were under the law, THAT WE MIGHT 
RECEIVE THE ADOPTION OF SONS.
     "6  And because YE ARE SONS, God hath sent forth the Spirit of his 
Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father." (Gal. 4:4-6)

    Christ came to redeem only those "that were under the law."  Only 
Israel entered into an agreement at Mt. Sinai and thus only Israel was ever 
under the law.  God implied that He would not "cast off all the seed of 
Israel" (Jer. 31:37,) and that they would be "scattered" but preserved and 
later "gathered" together (Amos 9:9; Ezk. 34:11-14).  They were gathered 
together as was prophesied in Hosea 1 under one leader, being Christ.  
And Christ clearly declared this purpose in Matt 15:24, "I was sent to the 
lost sheep of the house of Israel, and to them ALONE."
     Being "sons of God" is, however, more than a racial thing, it is a status 
that God bestows on certain persons (John 1:12-13, Rom 8:14). But there 
is nothing to indicate that anyone except those of Adam were chosen or 
"born of God" as sons.
    "Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that 
we should be called the sons of God: therefore the world knoweth us not, 
because it knew him not, Beloved, now are we the sons of God."  I John 
3:1-2
     You are not a son of God today, just because you are white.  Israel was 
cast off because of her whoring after other Gods, the only way to be 
redeemed (bought back) is through His Son, Jesus Christ who paid the 
penalty for Israel's sins.  We can again come back to the Father as "sons of 
God" by repentance and baptism into Christ's death (Romans 6). You are 
not saved by race, you are saved by grace.  Only those who are humbled, 
repent and claim the gift through walking the "Way" of Christ all the way 
to His death, burial and resurrection can claim to be the "sons of God."
     Not being a son of God does not exclude a person from being able to 
come under God's grace.  The Bible is also clear that other races can come 
to Christ and receive the blessings and salvation...being a son of God only 
entails a superior RESPONSIBILITY, and does not make the white 
ADAMIC ISRAELrace superior to any other race.  They are to be a 
servant race, a blessing to the world and all it's other people, the ministers 
of God's Word.
