Regarding where in the Bible these instructions are….of course, it’s all in the “interpretation”. I follow author Andra Watkins,a CN “escapee”,for her translations of the “Christian” insanity.

Belief 5: Many believe that Black and Brown people are inferior to white people.

While not every Christian Nationalist church teaches the Curse of Ham, many still do. Southern preachers used the Curse of Ham to justify enslaving Black people before the Civil War. Many never stopped trumpeting this abomination from pulpits after the south lost.

The Curse of Ham comes from the story of Noah and the ark. After the flood, Noah’s son Ham got Noah drunk and enticed Noah to sleep with one of his daughters. God cursed Ham and his descendants for this behavior by turning his skin black. Because God cursed Ham’s descendants, God meant for them to be treated as inferior for all time. (I wish I were making this up.)

Anyone can see why white supremacists feel right at home with Christian Nationalists.

The story of Noah and Ham was metaphorical imo. A lot of stories in the bible are just that, a metaphor. Any of these idiots who take everything literally are lying. The bible contradicts itself, allowing the god-botherers to pick and choose.

Awful! We never learned this Curse of Ham in Catholic School, though we learned similar abominations daily.
