Prompt: "As the sun sets on 2020 one final time, we find ourselves at the beginning of the individual proverbs of Solomon. Whether or not we study each individual proverb remains to be seen. I doubt that we do or we may spend more than a year in Proverbs alone. They do make good studies though so we will start with Proverbs 10:2 which says "Treasures of wickedness profit nothing, but righteousness delivereth from death" KJV. How does righteousness deliver from death? Remember, man's righteousness is as filthy rags to God."

Man's righteousness does not deliver us from spiritual death. However, a person's righteousness can deliver them from a ton of troubles. I believe what Solomon is saying here is that our righteousness can keep us from getting into serious mischief and bringing trouble upon ourselves. As for the righteousness that delivers from spiritual death, we must depend upon Jesus Christ to provide that. Isaiah 64:6 tells us that our righteousness looks like filthy menstrual rags to God. Paul tells us in Romans 3:23 that we are all sinners and fall well short of the righteousness God expects. So we must depend on the Lamb of God whose blood makes us righteous.

Why do you think God made people different colors?"

I don't know that God created us in different colors. I know that he created Adam and then let nature take its course. I personally think Adam and Eve were Black and then as man spread across the globe the different amounts of sunlight led to different adaptations in skin pigment. I believe God knew this and allowed nature to take its course.
