should Christians be racists?

Jews are not a race, though.

Racist not go to heaven

Verse 43

I was stranger, and ye not took me in

Not love stranger is racist and not go to heaven


Matt 25
41 Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels:
42 For I was an hungred, and ye gave me no meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me no drink:
43 I was a stranger, and ye took me not in: naked, and ye clothed me not: sick, and in prison, and ye visited me not.

"I never knew what my racial mix was, does that make make me less saved?"


This does not make sense, because humans are species, not a race.

Dogs are a species, beagles are a race. Humans are species, Indo-Europeans are a race.

There is nothing political or ideological about this, this is nature. Ideological, politically correct is rather your statement, IMHO. But its illogical and untrue.

Much confusion about this here.

In Esther, people are "becoming" jews. a.k.a converting to the religion.
But then again, some people are "born" jews, because they are the descendants of the patriarchs. Tribe of Levi, Benjamin, Judah. etc.

ANother common thing is, we assume the 12 tribes are all Jewish. Thats not biblical actually. I know we use that in our language today. But biblically speaking, the southern kingdom of Judah, and the tribes there were considered jews, such as Benjamin, Levi (remnant) and Judah.
The rest were scattered and often in idolatry, the "kingdom of Israel". The two even went to war with each other, Kingdom of Israel vs Kingdom of Judah.
I understand today people just say "jews" about any tribe. Its just the way we speak today.

I have never heard of any animal species separated and labeled as different races.

Thats my point. Species is not race. Races are inside species.

Bible doesn't talk about this scientific stuff.

Its just "nations". Greeks are a nation, Jews are a nation, Romanians are a nation, Russians are a nation. etc.
God made all the nations on the earth of ONE BLOOD! That means no matter the nation, its human. The human race, or human species if you so prefer.

Thats my point. Species is not race. Races are inside species.

And my point is "race" is a fabricated term.

Animals species are not separated by "race" within a species. All dogs are dogs, they are separated by the type of BREED they are, but they are all dogs, and can BREED with each other. Their breed is characterized by different TRAITS.

Ridiculous to say they are classified as different races within the species.

Same goes for humans.

We are ALL in fact ONE race.

You basically exchanged the word "species" for the word "race" and the word "race" for the word "breed".

Ok, in your language - homo sapiens sapiens is one race, Europoid and Negroid are breeds.



I wonder, if we will have breedism, then.

That's right. How people BREED determines the traits their children have.

Breed is a noun and a vowel. And race is definitely interchangeable with species. Why do you think we are called the human race if there were different races within the race!?

The term has been bastardized by those looking to divide humanity.

We are all of the human race with differing traits due to our ethnicity. But our ethnicity doesn't change our race.

To illustrate how silly it is to divide people by race, at one time people thought there we an Irish race, and an English race. And a German race.

I am all 3!!! Can't you see there is only one race? And therefore racism is a social construct devised by the enemy to divide humanity?

Hi Calibob,

Quite a fascinating discussion you've started here. It most definitely isn't what I thought it would be when I first read the title--very interesting twist on racism and Christianity!

As a fellow adoptee, I can very much relate to having people care A LOT about one's racial background and (supposedly bad or impure) bloodlines, even if when a person doesn't know anything about their background.

Fortunately, God doesn't give a rip about our unknowns (after all, HE knows all of our unknowns) and in fact, tells us that He knew us even before He knit us together in our mother's wombs: Jeremiah 1:5 -- "Before I formed you in the womb, I knew you; before you were born, I set you apart."

So although some of us might not know who or where we came from, God does, and He built you as a dear brother in Christ and an important part of His kingdom!

God bless you.
