Curse of Ham Some biblical scholars claim that when a curse is made by a man, it could only have been effective if God supports it, unlike the curse of Ham and his descendants, which was not confirmed by God or, at least, it is not mentioned in the Bible that he had confirmed it. 4Q252, a "pesher" (interpretation) on the Book of Genesis found among the Dead Sea Scrolls, explains that since Ham had already been blessed by God (Genesis 9:1), he could not now be cursed by Noah. The 4Q252 scroll probably dates from the latter half of the first century
Back to the Bible Way Back to the Bible Way Back to the Bible Way was the name of a periodical produced between 1952 and 1977 by Roy D. Goodrich (October 15, 1886 - December, 1976) as well as of the movement centered upon that periodical. It was headquartered in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. Its primary function was to help spread the thought of Goodrich, who had been excommunicated from the Jehovah's Witnesses for disagreeing that Charles Taze Russell was the good and faithful servant promised in the Parable of the Talents, as well as 1914 being the date of the Apocalypse, as Russell had projected.
