Why God have to be racist to make a point?
About half of Israelis descend from Europeans. They're only "Middle Eastern" by virtue of location, not ethnicity. Or if you prefer, those of European descent only gained the label "white" in recent years and historically were never considered white.Well Israelis today are often white, they're Middle Easterners.
But that's just a red herring, since we both know that the author of the verse in the OP is not European or white.
The verse is saying that the subject does so much evil, that it became ingrained, a part of his nature. As an analogy to emphasize how deeply ingrained being evil has become to the subject, the verse gives examples of natural, immutable characteristics of a people and an animal.Why God have to be racist to make a point?
Yeah we've heard your spiel before. It doesn't sound more intelligent this second time.Jeremiah was most likely a Greek judging from 1:1, Hilkiah ( Helot), Anath (Athens), Land of Benjamin(Children of the west Sea) , The term 'Ethiopian' is a Greek word after all.
Why did you not quote the entire verse? God was making a point.
23Can an Ethiopian change his skin
or a leopard its spots?
Neither can you do good
who are accustomed to doing evil.
