Just like Cain, as explained in the previous message, Ham was not cursed by God. See
Genesis 9.
Reasons Ham & Canaan Were Not Cursed & Why The Story Sounds Suspicious
1. Genesis 9:9 states that God blessed Noah and his sons.
2. Genesis 9:25 states, “And he [Noah] said, Cursed be Canaan; a servant of servants shall he be unto his brethren.
3. Numbers 23:8 states, “How shall I curse, whom God hath not cursed? or how shall I defy, whom the Lord hath not defied?”
4. Noah does not have the power or authority to curse Canaan, only the audacity.
5. There's no way a drunk Noah woke up, remembered he was naked and then through clairvoyance knew who saw him naked and who covered him up. It's more ridiculous that Noah would curse his grandson rather than his son. It's further ridiculous that the story suggests it's a sin for a grown son to see his grown father naked.
6. Noah said he knew what his
younger son had done. Ham was not the younger child Ham was not the youngest child. Ham was the middle child. Ham was one of two younger children. Genealogies are listed in order of birth. Even so, the Bible confuses who is the older by listing Shem first and then listing the children of Japheth first. See 1 Chronicles 1:4-17 and Genesis 10:1-21. Despite the fact that Shem is always listed first as is customary to list the oldest child first, Japheth is called the elder in Genesis 10:21.
7. The story is a quite convenient way to establish racial-based privileges in the Bible.
8. Shem, Ham & Japheth have the same mother and father. They are all of the same race. It's ridiculous to suggest that one was black, one white and one something else. If they were all black, then some blacks folks are not cursed. If they were all black then where did all the other people come from in the world? World history and science has already proven this. If they were all white, then some white folks must be cursed.
9. It's suspicious that Moses would mention a particular grandson in a curse and yet skip over Cush, Mizraim and Phut who were also Ham's son. Yet and still, somehow, somewhere, Canaan's curse that isn't a curse got extended to all his brothers. Also, Noah did not mention any grandsons as part of the blessings bestowed upon Shem and Japheth, Why not?
10. Even if Canaan is cursed, he is only a servant to his brothers and only a servant to Shem and Japheth. The curse does not extend to any descendants of anyone involved in this curse. If the curse existed, it was over a long time ago.
11. Here's the only thing that makes sense in this make-believe story, Noah was still drunk when he woke up. He thought Canaan had seen him naked. Canaan is the “younger” son of Ham. Noah thought Canaan was his son which is why Noah cursed Canaan or attempted to. This is why the curse mixes Noah's son's with his grandson and leaves Ham out and leaves out all the other grandsons Noah had at the time.
12. No one who is trying to harm you is going to give you a book to help you. They will give you a book to perpetuate illusions of their greatness and your weakness. The book tells you Africans, among all people, you are the wretched of the earth so your life is hopeless here but let me tell you where to focus your hope so you can get salvation and finally some joy somewhere else after you die.
13. Where is the mother this whole time Noah is naked, discovered, covered and pitting brother against brother?
It's a common theme in Bibles that stories that claim to curse blacks depend solely upon belief and no facts.
The main reason Cain's curse and Ham/Canaan's curse which aren't curses make no sense is due to stuff being left out, added and changed in Bibles. The reason it makes sense is when our level of thinking remains comfortably below Giri So.
Doesn't it make you wonder that if there are Bibles with a lot of the same things in them and then some different things, why is that? Where did the similar information come from? Where did the dissimilar information come from? Why? Shouldn't followers of all forms of Judaism, Islam and Christianity be asking a lot of these question of how supposedly different religions came to share the same things, yet are different in many areas? How can all these different Gods be alike and unalike in their visions for the world and who is special and who is not? There must be a common point of origin for these religions and there must also be unique points of disconnection and divergence which accounts for their differences.
