Question:

Also, now I’ve been wondering about racism, what does the bible say about racism? Now I am not a racist at all. I am hispanic and I have a lot of friends who are white, black, Asian, and fellow hispanic friends as well! Now I am totally sure that God would not exclude people of different race, for we are all god’s children! However I also know that many white supremes are Christian and go to church every Sunday, and some believe that blacks and those who are not white carry dirty and impure blood and are evil. Where in the bible does it say that? Where are they getting that idea from?

Answer:

The Bible gives us complete assurance that God loves everyone on earth the same, and has no favourites. Every person from every nation is a child of His, whom He wants to save. It says that God made every nation on earth from one blood, and that in the end, there will be people in heaven from “every nation, tribe, tongue, and people”. God is not racist, and will not tolerate anyone calling themselves Christians, to be racists. Have a look of only a small portion of the many passages which explains God’s view.

Isaiah 56     “Also the sons of the foreigner who join themselves to the Lord, to serve Him, and to love the name of the Lord, to be His servants—everyone who keeps from defiling the Sabbath, and holds fast My covenant—
Even them I will bring to My holy mountain, and make them joyful in My house of prayer. Their burnt offerings and their sacrifices will be accepted on My altar;
For My house shall be called a house of prayer for all nations.”

Malachi 1:11   For from the rising of the sun, even to its going down, My name shall be great among the Gentiles; In every place incense shall be offered to My name, And a pure offering; For My name shall be great among the nations,” says the Lord of hosts.

Matthew 28   18 And Jesus came and spoke to them, saying, “All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. 19 Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.”

Luke 24     46 Then He said to them, “Thus it is written,  and thus it was necessary for the Christ to suffer and to rise from the dead the third day, 47 and that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in His name to all nations, beginning at Jerusalem.”

John 3     16 For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.

17 For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved.

Acts 10     28 Then he said to them, “You know how unlawful it is for a Jewish man to keep company with or go to one of another nation. But God has shown me that I should not call any man common or unclean.” 

34 Then Peter opened his mouth and said: “In truth I perceive that God shows no partiality

35 But in every nation whoever fears Him and works righteousness is accepted by Him.”

Acts 17:26   And He has made from one blood every nation of men to dwell on all the face of the earth, and has determined their preappointed times and the boundaries of their dwellings.

Revelation 14     Then I saw another angel flying in the midst of heaven, having the everlasting gospel to preach to those who dwell on the earth—to every nation, tribe, tongue, and people— saying with a loud voice, “Fear God and give glory to Him, for the hour of His judgment has come; and worship Him who made heaven and earth, the sea and springs of water.”

Revelation 7     After these things I looked, and behold, a great multitude which no one could number, of all nations, tribes, peoples, and tongues, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, with palm branches in their hands, 

10 and crying out with a loud voice, saying, “Salvation belongs to our God who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb!

I trust that it is clear to you that God is not a racist, and does not want us to be either. God bless!

Acts 10:28, 34-35

But God has shown me that I should not call any man common or unclean.” 34 Then Peter opened his mouth and said: “In truth I perceive that God shows no partiality.  35 But in every nation whoever fears Him and works righteousness is accepted by Him.”
