Episode 54: Debunking the “Curse of Ham” (Racism is NOT Biblical)

No child I teach is ever going to have an excuse for believing that the Bible supports any form of racism.

Sometimes, grownups come up with some pretty zany ideas that they think come from the Bible but instead, we can use the Bible to show that they are nonsense. As we did with the Mark of Cain, which was actually a blessing and not a curse, this week we’re going to talk about the claim that all of the descendants of Ham were cursed by God—when what really happened is that one of Ham’s sons was cursed by Noah. We’re also going to discuss how this wrong belief has been used to hurt people all over the world.
