Gingers?

[biblicalsandy]

I noticed on a site, where people that claimed to be Christians was chastising people with red hair. Claiming that redheads have no soul, and was hated by God...What is the deal with this? As from what I have witnessed, redheads are no less soul less than any other hair color..Is there scripture that points these things to be true? Will you please show me? If people are in their minds being taught this, no wonder why my life has not gone well! Thank you in advance!

Have no idea what site that was posted on, but it is not Biblical in my opinion. Even if one was so misguided as to believe that red hair was evil or something, even evil people have souls. On it's face, it is a lie. God loves the worst of sinners, and hair color has nothing to do with it.

No, it has been around longer than that..I heard something about it while I was young too, and I am 48 now. South Park only brought it out into the light of society more, before it was more secretive.

It remind me kind of about the slender man story, and those girls that believed it..one because others made it seem to them, so real!

Still Life With Woodpecker, a book by Tom Robbins published in 1980, goes into this...

Princess Leigh-Cheri, a redheaded vegetarian liberal princess and former cheerleader, lives with her exiled royal parents Max and Tilli and their last loyal servant Gulietta in a converted farmhouse in Seattle. While attending a liberal CareFest in Hawaii with scientific and political speakers (including Leigh-Cheri's idol, Ralph Nader) Leigh-Cheri meets Bernard Mickey Wrangle, an outlaw bomber known as the Woodpecker. Like Leigh-Cheri, he is a redhead, and unlike her, he plans to blow up the CareFest.

At the Care Fest, Leigh-Cheri is approached by a beautiful blonde who claims she is from the planet Argon. She informs Leigh-Cheri that redheads are considered evil on her planet and that red hair is caused by "sugar and lust." As it turns out, the Woodpecker has a passion for tequilla that inadvertently causes him to bomb a UFO conference instead of his intended target. After the UFO conference is destroyed, a number of people see lights in the sky which seems to prove that the ambassadors from Argon were real.

Sandy, you have two options to find out what the Bible says about redheads, one quick and one slower, but better.

You can go to Biblegateway. com and put in redheads, or just google "Redheads in the Bible" and see if anything comes up. I don't think it does, because people living in the Middle East all had dark hair which is dominant. There might have been a few women in Egypt using henna to make their hair appear red, but I doubt God cares what colour hair or skin anyone has.

The other, better option is to read the Bible from Genesis to Revelation. Because you are redhaired, you would probably notice any references to it. You would also learn the Bible and hopefully learn how to find things on your own.

The final thing is to be secure in your calling in Christ. If you know for sure you are a born again Christian, why should it matter what any internet site or commentors says? Be strong and courageous! I am sure there are quit a few Irish believers, for example, who would take strong issue with this comment.

God loves a faithful and obedient heart, even if the head is bald, or the hairs are gray.

"O God, from my youth you have taught me,
and I still proclaim your wondrous deeds.
18 So even to old age and gray hairs,
O God, do not forsake me,
until I proclaim your might to another generation,
your power to all those to come" Psalm 71:17-18

I found this verse in my early 50's when my hair started turning quite gray and it gave me great hope that I could still serve God.

Already checked, and no, I did not find anything..I was just wondering if I misunderstood something, or missed it some how!

Bible says nothing about it. But maby an relict from the time when red head woman were persecutet and blamed as witchcraft in europe. Compare with other haircolours it was rare. But for shure this is not mentioned in Bible.

It's a curious belief that originated in the Middle Ages (or possibly much earlier) where redheads were considered to be incredibly sexual and animalistic and lacking in morals. Many people at the time believed that red hair identified a person as a witch, werewolf or vampyre. There's no place for such superstitious nonsense amongst Christians. My best friend is a red-head and he's a super strong Christian. I've always been attracted to red-heads. You have nothing to worry about. Some people are just stupid and believe stupid things.

Its South Park they did an episode about gingers and them being evil. I honestly can't believe people would take that seriously. These people who are doing it probably don't even know where it came from, there just repeating what others say. Ignoring them is your best bet or maybe explaining to them that they got there convictions from a stupid paper cut out cartoon.

Oh, it's origins are much more ancient than South Park. As I mentioned above, it was a popular pagan beliefs in many parts of Europe during the Middle Ages.

I know that now. But honestly it wouldn't surprised me if it was just from south park. The show was heavily influenced by the Columbine shootings.

I wouldn't know. I'm all for satire, but I don't need vulgar crap to make me laugh.

 

[GodIsSalvation]

Redheads don't like being called "ginger" just a heads up.

Off the top of my head for redheads in the Bible, it is hinted some characters like King David and Esau were redheads.

There's always been a lot of redhead stereotypes and myths lol. Some are true though like how their passionate, loving, and zealous spirits are as fiery as their hair lol.
