Race and God
Christian Identity and Racism: Racism is incompatible with true Christianity. A Christian who harbors racism denies the teachings of Jesus and the foundational principles of love and equality.
The Commandment of Love: Jesus Christ’s greatest commandments—to love God and to love one’s neighbor as oneself—define the path to eternal life and reject any justification for hatred or superiority based on race.
Cultural Richness as God’s Expression: The diversity of humanity is a testament to God’s creativity and love, with every culture offering unique ways of reflecting His glory through family, art, compassion, and community.
The Christian’s Role in Society: Followers of Christ are called to serve all humanity, offering love, support, and inclusion while rejecting judgment, superiority, or oppression. This aligns with the example set by Christ.
Overcoming Racism with God: Those struggling with ingrained biases can seek God’s guidance to overcome fear and hatred, trusting in His promise to transform hearts and lead them into truth and unity.
Living as Christ’s Disciples: True discipleship is evidenced by love for others, reflecting God’s light through actions that support, comfort, and uplift all people, regardless of race or belief.

Race and God
Greetings to the churches of the earth, with the peace and grace of our Father, and the guidance and love of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Much around the world today is focused on the abuses, mistreatment and underlying sickness of our societies towards race. Far too long have our brethren suffered hidden, quiet, desperate, fearful and impoverished lives, simply because of the greed, selfishness and ignorance of others who are in power and those who are seeking to feel powerful. It is a deeply heartbreaking condition of the rule of man, and the darkness of man on this earth.
Let us then therefore return instead to God, and consider a truth that sets right all matters of race so that this question is answered as only the Word of God can do. This entire section of Acts below puts into perspective the basic truth of the work of God and the reality of actual Christianity.
In Acts 17
(verse) 22: Then Paul stood in the midst of Mars’ hill, and said, Ye men of Athens, I perceive that in all things ye are too superstitious.
23: For as I passed by, and beheld your devotions, I found an altar with this inscription, To The Unknown God. Whom therefore ye ignorantly worship, him declare I unto you.
24: God that made the world and all things therein, seeing that he is Lord of heaven and earth, dwelleth not in temples made with hands;
25: Neither is worshipped with men’s hands, as though he needed any thing, seeing he giveth to all life, and breath, and all things;
26: And hath made of one blood all nations of men for to dwell on all the face of the earth, and hath determined the times before appointed, and the bounds of their habitation;
27: That they should seek the Lord, if haply they might feel after him, and find him, though he be not far from every one of us:
28: For in him we live, and move, and have our being; as certain also of your own poets have said, For we are also his offspring.
ALL men of earth are of ONE Blood. ALL men of earth are children of God, regardless of ANY other factor under the sun. God is the God of everything, and Father to everything and everyone. The spirit of the Races are the Spirit of God, the artistry of God and the Majesty of God’s great creative desire. Jesus made this clear in every word given to us by Him and also by those who loved and followed Him. Even to the point in verse 27 do we find that for every culture and race everywhere has the SAME purpose been given for life once again; that we seek God our Father, His Kingdom and to do so by the choice presented on this earth of the two paths of Life, or Death. Each and every one of us who dwell on earth are given the same two choices, and that choice is respectfully between ourselves and God – and no other.
So let it be said: No actual Christian is a racist. If one claims to be racist and claims to be a christian, they are a liar, even unto themselves. If one claims to be Christian and is also a racist, they are not following Christ, and Jesus does not know them. For He said “Many shall come saying Lord, Lord, and I will say I do not know you.” One cannot be Christian, and racist. To be racist would be to abandon and ridicule every single directive and command of Jesus Christ our Lord. All men have been created and born at God’s desire. All men have been saved by God. All men are the sons of God, and all women are the daughters of God. To think oneself above another because of race is to hate God and to hate your brother or sister – meaning you hate also yourself. Jesus commanded we Love God, and commanded we love our Neighbor as ourself – for THESE are the two greatest commands that bring about eternal life. Therefore they who are racist are followers of darkness and not followers of Light. Jesus is the Light, and taught us all that not ONE on earth should perish but that ALL should be saved and have everlasting life. Let us therefore pray for them who are in darkness, that they may be saved as we have been saved.
Whatever our races, the other races ARE our brothers and sisters, just as our family brothers and sister are. Being God’s kids, we are actually closer brothers and sisters than even our relative brothers and sisters. For our direct relatives are but an example for us to learn to co-operate, accept, love, care for and learn from in physical manifestation. Whereas, the spirit of man, given FROM God, is greater than the flesh, and greater also than our understanding of its greatness and enhancement of our lives. Even more also is the Love, understanding, growth, spirit and family expression when sharing in custom and sharing in perspective of God as we share our life with those of other cultures and races all around the world. Look to one culture and see how well they protect and love family. See another culture and how well they express compassion and warmth with food and gatherings. See another culture whose art, tapestry and song expresses the beautiful life of peoples in colorful works. Do you think these variations of humanity are a mistake by God? God is literally everywhere creating and doing and expressing love in MANY forms and MANY ways all available to us through the beautiful truth of our bond as Children of God. Only they who welcome all, are given eyes to see.
As a Christian, we stand with ALL men. We are not their judge, we are not their leaders nor are we their slaves. We are their brothers and sisters. They need not be followers of Jesus, they may have many strange religious beliefs. They need not agree with our beliefs. Jesus made all mankind One Blood, and regardless of another origins and customs, they are our brothers and sisters. Family protects, loves and keeps inclusive all. We as Christians are instead servants to Life, to our brothers and sisters, as Christ was a servant to us in example. We feed those who are hungry, we give drink to those who are thirsty, we clothe those who are naked, and we offer peace, hope, love and acceptance to all. Our job is to set aside the world, and to act as Christ acted. We do this not because it is a task, but because it is the way of God. God IS life, and LIFE does LIVE. Life is a supporter and creator that adds to the betterment of all. Death destroys, kills, steals, harms, wounds, punishes, curses, and ultimately dies. One cannot do the works of death and expect a result of life. One must do the works of Life. Just as I must drink water to quench my thirst, so too must I strive to do works of Life in order to live forever. Alone we cannot do this, but God makes it so within us with His Holy Spirit. The path of death is selfish, and the path of life is ever inclusive of all and in awe of God’s wondrous variety of Life. We are the stewards of the truth of God’s love and the messengers of the Way of Life of Jesus Christ. Our way is to share in life with everyone, and to carry ourselves in harmony with all life.
A word to those who still do struggle with race though they seek after God. Fear not the conditioning you have been given by man to fear other men, or to look down upon other men. Each of us on this earth has had to confront our differences within ourselves and reconcile with God about such matters. We were born into darkness, and taught darkness by men deceived by our enemy death. God will not abandon you or leave you if you ask Him to guide you to the truth about your lingering confusion. Indeed He sent His Son Jesus Christ to teach us such matters of how to overcome the world as He overcome the world. Reveal to God without fear (for He already knows anyway) that you are still angry or fearful of others, but that you do not wish to be. Give God your racism, and ask God to do with it what He wills to. Ask God to open your eyes to the righteousness and beautiful spirit of Love and togetherness. Ask God to help you be a brother or sister to ALL His children, for they are your brothers and sisters. You may fear your own family who taught you to hate, you may fear your culture who taught you to hate, you may fear being mocked or cursed by they who do hate other races. This is all understandable, yet continue praying to God, and God will answer your prayer and show you a way out. The way out is profound, wonderful and unlike anything one can imagine before it is felt and heard and seen. It is wonderful and beautiful to EVERY soul who has taken that journey towards God. No man can go to God and become worse, so continue to go to God to erase the lies and hate within your heart. We too shall also pray for you as we pray for those who have chosen to hate freely.
We have a promise by Jesus Christ Himself that He will never leave us or abandon us. This too is how we as humans can look upon other humans – that we do not abandon their sorrow in their times of need, but rather comfort, support and stand with them as a place of safety from the world. I have brothers whose lives have been many times more difficult and frustrating than my own, simply because of the color of their skin. It saddens me beyond belief sometimes. Yet when we get together, we see another Son of God, and we rejoice in our combined strength and character and desire to share in the greatness of God. We see the Colors of Life, and the Abundance of God’s creativity. A Christian oppresses NO ONE, but rather treats all living men and women as they would treat themselves. A follower of Christ works towards the perfection of God, and God gives us that portion of His perfect Holy Spirit to guide us into everlasting life in the Kingdom of God. A Christian seeks to Love God, and seeks to Love his fellows. W
Let us conclude with the instruction of Christ:
John 13:
(verse) 34 A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another.
35 By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another.
