If someone says, “I love God,” and hates
his brother, he is a liar; for he who does not love his brother whom he
has seen, how can he love God whom he has not seen? 21 And this
commandment we have from Him: that he who loves God must love his
brother also.
The Answer
So, we see that the Bible teaches that we were all of one race: the
human race. There are differences, varieties, adaptations within the
species, but we are all human beings. Therefore, for one person or group
to ridicule, isolate, or injure another group of human beings because of
accidental characteristics — variables within the human species they
were born with — is a cruel and irrational response. Such tribalism
promotes widespread division of people, degradation of humanity itself
and makes the civil community at any level — from the family to the
city, to the nation – an impossible vision. Since such prejudicial
language and hostile actions against people flow from the accidental
traits they carry from birth, there can be no other assumption that the
source of such prejudice is pure hatred that leads to division and
division that leads to violence. Such societal confusion that breeds
national fragmentation, i.e., the Balkanization of America , is a
well-known chapter in the anarchist strategies of Marxism, Communism,
and Socialism. When we hate each other enough, an oppressive force then
steps in to heal the breach. In thirty-two years of military service,
including top-secret intelligence gathering and analysis in the Cold
War, and the command of all Military Intelligence Readiness Command
chaplains posted around the globe, I have seen the devious plan at work.
I have also witnessed the consequences. As a theologian and curator of
the human soul, I know the damage done for generations.
The Bible condemns this as an assault on the image of God in humanity.
Every Christian leader should also decry the articles of such ethnic and
cultural cleansing. Unfortunately, critical race theory, and books such
as Ibram X. Kendi’s 2019 book, How to Be an Antiracist , have
become mainstream. The views are not only immature, poorly stated, and
riddled with historical errors. C. . They are contrary to God’s Word
and, thus, harmful to human existence. Yet, their horrendous ideologies
are being taught in grammar schools through the professional
postgraduate course. There can only one conclusion to normalizing hatred
grounded in accidental differences in humankind: the loss of
necessary, rational, civil discourse, which invariably leads to civil
violence, and violence which leads to self-destruction.
Receive God’s love in Jesus Christ, and you will not only be protected
from such corrosive ideologies, but you will also overcome it. For good
is stronger than evil, and the God who sent His Son to save one race,
the race of humanity, will transform you. How did your mother sing it to
you when you were a child?
“Jesus loves the little children, all of the children of the world; Red
and yellow, black and white, they are precious in his sight; Jesus loves
the little children of the world.“
