Paul’s teaching concerning Christians and the Law of Moses
Now that the flood has ended and life begins to return to normal, it is interrupted by a prophetic curse by Noah on one of his sons. What does this mean? Are “Black” people the descendants of Canaan? And are Black people cursed? Was it Scripturally justified to enslave Blacks based on how certain southern Americans interpreted this passage?
Now that God has directed Noah to depart from the ark and Noah re-dedicates creation, God makes a covenant with Noah and all of creation to never destroy the whole world again by water. We also notice that man’s dietary restriction has been changed from vegetarian to omnivore. And now all animals are fearful of us for fear they may be eaten.
Now that the Flood has ended, Noah is commanded to exit the ark after about a year. He reconsecrates creation back to God. God vows never to destroy all of earth by water again.
