Season 02 Episode 14 of Gems of Truth. Is one race superior to another? Did God create a racial hierarchy when he created man? Why does so much prejudice exist on this planet? Why does it sometimes carry over in the church? In this episode, the origin of man is traced to debunk the idea of racism and prejudice, showing that from a Biblical standpoint: all humanity is related to two common ancestors. Not of another species, as evolution would suggest, but two human families. If the human race is family, what does this mean about how we should treat each other?

My Help

The first book of Samuel, the twenty-fifth chapter, recorded the death of Samuel the Lord’s prophet. People loved and admired him; now that he was dead, they all felt hopeless since King Saul, their other leader, was considered to be a mad man. Why? He was obsessed with killing the only person who gave him the victory over the Philistines. He spent many days chasing after David, his designated successor, because he wanted him dead.
