Scripture Reading: Genesis 12:6-9
6) “And Abram passed through the land unto the place of Shechem, unto the oak of Moreh. And the Canaanite was then in the land.
7) And the LORD appeared unto Abram, and said, Unto thy seed will I give this land: and there builded he an altar unto the LORD, who appeared unto him.
8) And he removed from there unto a mountain on the east of Bethel, and pitched his tent, having Bethel on the west, and Hai on the east: and there he builded an altar unto the LORD, and called upon the name of the LORD.
9) And Abram journeyed going on still toward the Negev.”
When one reads the Bible what does one find? The contents are not what the average Christian thinks should be in there. Most churches do not teach anything about biblical history; only most of their Sunday schools do--if they have one. But they teach very little about the kings, battles, religious views and genetic purity or mongrelization of each country; and it is totally disorganized. They believe that it is not important. Maybe this is one reason that most Christians don’t read their Bibles: because it is so different from what they are taught in church.
The Bible tells the story of different races, primarily two; one pure and the other mongrel. What does history have to do with the story of Christ’s birth, death, resurrection and ascensions? What does the history tell us about personal salvation? One would think this is what the Bible teaches from what the churches instruct; practically no biblical history.
