(The Gospel Coalition) A few years ago, an article appeared titled “10 Reasons Why Racism Is A Sin” by an evangelical Christian, Kevin DeYoung, on The Gospel Coalition website.
And while there is nothing particularly unique about this article, we believe that it does represent the views of most so-called “judeo-Christian” denominations, so we decided to respond to it with the intention to reveal if, in fact, these views are truly supported by Scripture.
Before we start, we should first understand the definitions of “sin” and “racism” — to ensure that we do not engage in a fallacious “straw man” argument.
Definition of “Racism” and “Race”
First, a quick search of any online translation of the Bible will reveal that the word “racism” does not appear anywhere is Scripture — nor is “racism” specifically singled out as one of the sins listed in the Ten Commandments.
This should come as no surprise because the term “racism” did not come into use until the early 20th century:
“racism: by 1928, in common use from 1935, originally in a European context, “racial supremacy as a doctrine, the theory that human characteristics and abilities are determined by race“
So if Christians are going to look for “racism” in the Bible, they risk imposing a 20th century political term — which arose out of the Bolshevik Revolution in Russia — onto the ancient, Greco-Roman world.
However, a quick search of the Bible online will reveal over 100 examples of the use of “race” in Scripture, most notably in the New Testament.
While a few verses, such as 1 Corinthians 9:24, use “race” in terms of a competition, most often it is used to describe closely related people, translated from the Greek word γένος (or “genos”), which, according to Strong’s Lexicon (#1085), means,
Genos: “Kind, race, family, offspring, nation, kindred”
And just to be clear, while some translations opt for the more politically-correct “people” or “nations” instead of “race”, at the time of the first English translations of the Bible in the 16th century, “race” was a perfectly logical choice for “genos”, as the origins of the word reveal:
“race n. [people of common descent] 1560s, “people descended from a common ancestor, class of persons allied by common ancestry,” from French race, earlier razza “race, breed, lineage, family” (16c.)
For example, describing the Israelite people, 1 Peter 2:9 reads,
“But you [are] a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people acquired, that you may show forth the excellencies of Him who called you out of darkness into His wonderful light.”
–Young’s Literal Translation
And in Amos 3:2, in the Old Testament, we see the same kind of exclusive language to describe God’s preference only for the Israelite people:
“I have known [chosen, cared for, and loved] only you of all the families of the earth; Therefore I shall punish you for all your wickedness.”
–Amplified Bible
So to suggest that viewing people as belonging to different races — or even that there is a “chosen race” — is simply contradicted by over 100 verses in the Bible.
As we can see so far, if God indeed acknowledges “races” of people, then the modern term “racism” becomes very problematic in the original context of the Bible.
Definition of “Sin”
That said, “Sin” appears to be far less problematic — unless we ignore its original context and meaning from the perspective of those who wrote the Bible.
According to Strong’s Lexicon, “Sin” (#266) is derived from the Greek ἁμαρτία (pronounced “hamartia”) — and is defined as,
“…missing the mark; hence: (a) guilt, sin, (b) a fault, failure (in an ethical sense), sinful deed.”
Strong’s describes its usage as,
“In the New Testament, “hamartia” is primarily used to denote sin, which is understood as a moral failing or transgression against God’s law. It encompasses both the act of sinning and the inherent sinful nature of humanity. The term implies a deviation from God’s standards and a failure to live up to His holiness.”
Strong’s also gives the cultural and historical context of how “sin” is used:
“In the Greco-Roman world, the concept of “hamartia” was often associated with missing a target or failing to achieve a goal. In the Jewish [O.T.] context, sin was understood as a violation of the Torah, God’s revealed law. The New Testament writers, particularly Paul, expanded on this understanding by emphasizing the universality of sin and the need for redemption through Jesus Christ.”
While we would generally agree with this definition of “sin”, we are not sure what they mean when they say Paul “expanded” the definition by “emphasizing the universality of sin” — as if “sin” wasn’t understood universally by the Israelites of the Old and New Testaments.
Contrary to what many Christians have been led to believe, Paul did not make up a new Gospel — or expand on it in any way that contradicts the direct words of Christ — nor was Paul’s commission any different from that of the original apostles during the original mission of Christ.
Now that we’ve established these definitions, we will proceed to the article “10 Reasons Racism Is A Sin” — by quoting excerpts from the article and then offering our response, point-by-point.

To begin:
10 Reasons Racism Is A Sin
The Gospel Coalition (TGC) writes,
“Most people know that racism is wrong. It’s one of the few things almost everyone agrees on. And yet, I wonder if we (I?) have spent much time considering why it’s wrong.”
CFT responds,
This argument is a logical fallacy called Argumentum ad populum — a false appeal to what the alleged majority believe — as if the majority couldn’t possibly be in error. Christians, of all people, should never be concerned with what “most people” believe.
TGC writes,
“As Christians we must think and feel deeply not just the ‘what’ of the Bible but the ‘why’. If racism is so bad, why is it so bad?”
CFT responds,
Another logical fallacy — circular reasoning — he merely presumes racism is bad — and that it is a real issue — then asks why it is “so bad.”
He also uses a second logical fallacy here — a false appeal possibility — when he posits the idea “if racism is so bad.”
And if “racism” is such an egregious “sin” that “offends” God, then why isn’t it one of the Ten Commandments?
Notice also that he exhorts Christians to “feel deeply” about “racism” — because “racism” is an appeal to our emotions — not an appeal to reason — as the prophet Jeremiah warns,
“The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately sick; who can understand it?”
—-Jeremiah 17:9
TGC writes,
“Here are ten biblical reasons why racism is sin and offensive to God.”
“1. We are all made in the image of God (Gen. 1:27). Most Christians know this and believe it, but the implications are more staggering than we might realize….But of course, as a white man I am no more like God in my being, no more capable of worship, no more made with a divine purpose, no more possessing of worth and deserving of dignity than any other human of any other gender, color, or ethnicity. We are more alike than we are different.”
CFT responds,
Let’s look at what Genesis 1:27 actually says,
“And God creates the man in His image; in the image of God He created him, a male and a female He created them.”
The word translated from Hebrew as “the man” here comes from Strong’s #120, which means “Adam”, or Adamkind, meaning,
“…to be red” or “ruddy,” possibly referring to the reddish color of human skin or the earth.”
The name Adam derives from two Hebrew words “aw” and “dawm” which mean “to show blood” [in the face]” — which explains why Adam means “ruddy” — a unique trait that only white skin can produce.
We see in 1 Samuel 17:42 that King David, a descendant of both Adam and Noah, is also described as “fair” and “ruddy”:
“And the Philistine looketh attentively, and seeth David, and despiseth him, for he was a youth, and ruddy, with a fair appearance.”
Surely it is no coincidence that when many black and non-white people see a White person, they react the same way as the Philistine does when looking at David. If there is enmity between races or tribes, it comes from the non-whites directed toward the white Israelites.
And just to be clear, an analysis of the Hebrew in Genesis 6 shows the deeper implications of the word “Adam”:
“Nm) rd (דר DR) – I. Generation: As a circle of the family. II. White: From the whiteness of the pearl. KJV (5): white, generation – Strongs: H1858 (דַּר), H1859 (דָּר)”
So the meaning of Genesis 1:27 is that Adam and his kind — not everyone on earth — were created in God’s image.
Adam was a unique creation — sui generis — and since Eve was created from Adam — they must be the same “genos” — or race — and two kindred people simply cannot reproduce to create all the different races that we see on earth.
And just to emphasize this point — God preserved Noah — of all the people in the world — for two reasons:
“These [are] the generations of Noah: Noah [is] a righteous man; [and] he has been perfect among his generations; Noah has habitually walked with God.”
—Genesis 6:9
Here the word “generations” — or sometimes translated “genealogies” –derives from the Hebrew “dowr” (Strong’s #1755), and its Greek equivalent is “genea”, which we have seen means “race” (Strong’s #1078) — so Noah “genealogies” were pure and unmixed back to Adam.
Strong’s also gives the biblical context of this word — “dowr” or “generations”:
“In ancient Israelite culture, the concept of “generation” was significant in understanding one’s identity and heritage. The Israelites placed great importance on genealogies and the transmission of traditions and covenants from one generation to the next.”
And when TGC goes on to use such phrases as “human of any other gender, color, or ethnicity,” they are unwittingly repeating anti-Christian Marxist talking points — which isn’t surprising considering that Marxists had targeted American churches long ago.
See our article on this subject:
How Communists Infiltrated and Subverted Christian Churches in America
TGC continues,
“2. We are all sinners corrupted by the fall (Rom. 3:10-20; 5:12-21). Everyone made in the image of God has also had that image tainted and marred by original sin. Our anthropology is as identical as our ontology. Same image, same problem. We are more alike than we are different.”
CFT responds,
What does “all being sinners” — assuming that is correct — have to do with proving that “racism” is a sin? This is another logical fallacy — a non sequitur — that “racism” is a sin does not logically follow from the idea that we are all sinners.
He has not proven that our “anthropology” is identical — but rather merely presumed it — however, scripture and science suggest otherwise.
He hasn’t proven that all humans could possibly come from Adam, so he is building on a foundation of sand — since only Adam and his kind were under God’s Law — and only those under the Law can sin.
And we certainly are not “more alike than different” — considering that earthworms share over 90% of our same genetics — therefore, we are more alike earthworm than different by that logic. And blacks have over 1 million different genes compared to whites. The differences are large.
See our 3-part series of articles on Logos In Africa — the centuries-long attempt to evangelize Africans.
TGC continues,
“3. We are all, if believers in Jesus, one in Christ (Gal. 3:28). We see from the rest of the New Testament that justification by faith does not eradicate our gender, our vocation, or our ethnicity, but it does relativize all these things. Our first and most important identity is not male or female, American or Russian, black or white, Spanish speaker or French speaker, rich or poor, influential or obscure, but Christian. We are more alike than we are different.”
CFT responds,
Our “first identity” when we are born is not Christian — but rather racial — as we are born into a family — with close kindred — and that kindred extends out into a larger family, a kindred race.
And many studies have shown that infants instinctively show preference for people of their own race before they even reach a year old — and this preference is encoded in their DNA — it is not learned from “racist” parents.
Despite the controversy of infant baptism, it should be evident from the Gospels that only adults who have reached the ability to have independent thought and will can truly and freely accept Jesus Christ and follow Him by their own volition — and repent — which is crucial.
Universalist Christians always quote Galatians 3:28 out of context — it’s their go-to verse. Briefly, Galatians are Israelites from the dispersion, not non-Israelite “gentiles”. But rather than re-hash here how this verse does not — and cannot — mean what he wants to believe, we suggest you read our article,
Did Paul Write The Book Of Galatians To Israelites Or To Everyone?
TGC continues,
“4. Separating peoples was a curse from Babel (Gen. 11:7-9); bringing peoples together was a gift from Pentecost (Acts 2:5-11). The reality of Pentecost may not be possible in every community—after all, Jerusalem had all those people there because of the holy day—but if our inclination is to move in the direction of the punishment of Genesis 11 instead of the blessing of Acts 2 something is wrong.”
CFT responds,
Universalist Christians love Genesis 11 because they believe that somehow when God cursed Adamkind — the Genesis 10 Nations — he separated them by language and geography, which somehow magically caused them to turn into what appears to be different races.
The Bible says no such thing. The Genesis 10 Nations descended from Adam, and the Bible is concerned only with the race — or genos — of Adam, as Genesis 5:1 tells us,
“This is the book of the generations of Adam. In the day that God created man, in the likeness of God made he him”
The use of “generations” here derives from the Hebrew “towldah” (Strong’s #8435), meaning,
“…genealogies, descendants…”
And according to Strong’s, “towldah” is equivalent to the Greek “genea” (Strong’s #1078), which means,
“generation, race, family”
Therefore, the Book of Genesis is literally about the “genea” or “race of Adam” — his direct descendants.
We know from scripture that the Book of Genesis is not about the generations of Cain — they are not included in the generations of Adam — and therefore are not counted among those at the Tower of Babel.
And if dividing people by different languages is a curse, then how much of a curse would be dividing them into different races?
Read our article on how the Bible defines “The Nations” —
Who Are ‘The Nations’ In Scripture — And Who They Are Not — And Why It Matters
His second point — that Acts 2 brings “all” people together — is simply not true. Christ commanded his Israelite followers in Judea to go out and bring back only their fellow Israelites dispersed among the nations for Pentecost:
“And there were dwelling in Jerusalem Jews [Israelite Judeans] devout men from every nation of those under the heaven, and the rumour of this having come, the multitude came together, and was confounded, because they were each one hearing them speaking in his proper dialect.”
—Acts 2:5-6
Clearly, the Great Commission was to regather Israelites only — not all “races” — which is perfectly consistent with the direct words of Christ in Matthew 15:24,
“I come only for the lost sheep of the House of Israel.”
This is probably the most “racist” and racially exclusive verse in all of the New Testament, yet no Christian would dare call Jesus Christ “racist” for stating that He came only for His fellow Israelites.
And it should also be evident that Acts 2 refers back to the Tower of Babel and the confounding of languages — showing that the Israelites, when dispersed among the nations all spoke different languages — but when they were regathered at Pentecost, they found they could once again understand each other — through the power of Christ.
So we see that the Great Commission was directed to regather only one race — one genos — one tribe — the Israelites dispersed among the nations. It’s a command to separate the Israelites from the nations — and regather them under Christ.
Christ accomplished this regathering of all Israelite people in direct fulfillment of God’s promise in Amos:
“For, lo, I will command, and I will sift the house of Israel among all nations, like as corn is sifted in a sieve, yet shall not the least grain fall upon the earth.”
—Amos 9:9
And just to be clear, nowhere in the Gospels is there a command for non-Israelite “gentiles” to evangelize other non-Israelite “gentiles” — which is exactly what “judeo-Christian” dispensationalists claim we must do.

TGC continues,
“5. Partiality is a sin (James 2:1). When we treat people unfairly, when we assume the worst about persons and peoples, when we favor one group over another, we do not reflect the God of justice, nor do we honor the Christ who came to save all men.”
Here is another cherry-picked verse — where he completely ignores its context that contradicts his universalist doctrines. James tells us to whom he is speaking in his very first verse:
“James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, to the twelve tribes who are in the dispersion: Greetings!”
—James 1:1
So we know that James is addressing only the 12 tribes of Israel dispersed among the nations — completely consistent with Acts 2 — and that’s why he tells them to treat their fellow Israelites in the same way — they are all Israelites, regardless of whether or not they are circumcised — or whether or not they keep the rituals of the law.
This is a reaffirmation of Galatians 3:28 — that Israelites among the Galatians show no partiality to their fellow Israelites.
TGC continues,
“6. Real love loves as we hope to be loved (Matt. 22:39-40). No one can honestly say that racism treats our neighbor as we would like to be treated.”
CFT responds,
Again, another go-to verse for Universalist Christians taken out of context:
“Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself.”
Only until recent history would a Christian find themselves being a “neighbor” of someone of another race. And since Matthew was himself an Israelite addressing other Israelites, he is obviously referring to Leviticus 19:17 — a command to Israelites only,
“Do not hate a fellow Israelite in your heart. Rebuke your neighbor frankly so you will not share in their guilt.”
—Leviticus 19:17
For a more in-depth analysis of this issue, see our article:
How The Error Of Unconditional Love Of ‘Thy Neighbor’ Subverts Christianity
TGC continues,
7. Everyone who hates his brother is a murderer (1 John 3:15). Sadly, we can hate without realizing we hate. Hatred does not always manifest itself as implacable rage, and it does not always—or, because of God’s restraining mercy, often—translate into physical murder. But hatred is murder of the heart, because hatred looks at someone else or some other group and thinks, I wish you weren’t around. You are what’s wrong with this world, and the world would be better without people like you. That’s hate, which sounds an awful lot like murder.”
Again, another verse divorced from its context — 1 John is clearly addressing only fellow Israelites — and as Israelites — they are all his “brothers” — regardless of which of the 12 tribes they descend from.
We know John is addressing his fellow Israelites because he says they all knew the Law “from the beginning” — on Mount Sinai:
“Brethren, a new command I write not to you, but an old command, that ye had from the beginning — the old command is the word that ye heard from the beginning.”
—1 John 2:7
TGC continues,
“8. Love rejoices in what is true and looks for what is best (1 Cor. 13:4-7). You can’t believe all things and hope all things when you assume the worst about people and live your life fueled by prejudice, misguided convictions, and plain old animosity.”
Another cherry-picked verse taken out of context — in 1 Corinthians, Paul is obviously addressing his fellow Israelites — and speaks of how they are to conduct themselves vis a vis the Law and the rituals of the Law found in the Old Testament.
We know they are Israelites when Paul writes about their ancestors during the Exodus,
“Moreover, brethren, I would not that ye should be ignorant, how that all our fathers were under the cloud, and all passed through the sea; And were all baptized unto Moses in the cloud and in the sea.”
—1 Corinthians 10:1-2
There is simply no way that this verse — or this entire epistle — could be referring to non-Israelites — so to universalize 1 Corinthians and make it into some sort of exhortation against “racism” is completely misleading.
TGC continues,
“9. Christ came to tear down walls between peoples not build them up (Eph. 2:14). This is not a saccharine promise about everyone setting doctrine aside and getting along for Jesus’s sake. Ephesians 2 and 3 are about something much deeper, much more glorious, and much more cruciform. If we who have been made in the same image, born into the world with the same problem, find the same redemption through the same faith in the same Lord, how can we not draw near to each other as members of the same family?”
It is astonishing how Universalist Christians are completely blind to the context of Ephesians 2 — where Paul is obviously addressing his fellow Israelites of the ten northern tribes who lost their identity and faith during the Assyrian captivity.
Paul here describes their history — as uncircumcised lost Israelites who had been divorced or “alienated from” God and their fellow Israelites in Judea who had kept their faith and the Law of circumcision:
“Wherefore, remember, that ye were once the nations in the flesh, who are called Uncircumcision by that called Circumcision in the flesh made by hands, that ye were at that time apart from Christ, having been alienated from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers to the covenants of the promise…”
—Ephesians 2:11-12
Paul explicitly tells the Ephesians that from the perspective of the Israelites of the southern kingdom who kept the Law, they were considered “the nations” — also translated “gentiles” — because they had lost their identity as practicing Israelites.
Paul then explains how it was Christ’s purpose to breakdown this artificial wall that had separated the practicing Israelites of the southern kingdom from the 10 northern tribes of Israel “scattered abroad”– which had caused enmity between them:
“…ye being once afar off became nigh in the blood of the Christ, for he is our peace, who did make both one, and the middle wall of the enclosure did break down, the enmity in his flesh, the law of the commands in ordinances having done away, that the two he might create in himself into one new man, making peace.”
–Ephesians 2:13-14
Christ refers to this separating wall in John’s gospel when He says,
“…and other sheep I have that are not of this fold, these also it behoveth me to bring, and my voice they will hear, and there shall become one flock — one shepherd.”
—John 10:16
In both the New and Old Testaments, only Israelites are ever referred to as “sheep” — and the “sheep” of “this fold” refers to the Israelites of the southern kingdom in Judea who kept the faith and Law — while the “sheep not of this fold” refers to the Israelites of the dispersion.
And, yes, when these “lost” Israelites accept Christ and follow Him, they become a new “creation” (2 Corinthians 5:17) — but they don’t stop being both spiritual and racial Israelites.
Furthermore, nowhere do the Gospels claim that non-Israelites can ever become Israelites — or be magically “grafted” into the Tree of Israel:
Read our article on this subject:
The ‘Wild Olive Branch’ Of Romans 11 – Who Can Be Grafted Into Israel And Who Cannot
And the parable of the Prodigal Son extends this very idea — of an Israelite son who had become “alienated from” his Israelite family — only to return to his Israelite family/nation. See our article on this subject:
The Prodigal Son Identified – The Lost Tribes Of The House Of Israel
Christ came to regather all of His Israelite “sheep” — whether circumcised or not — by removing the “wall” that had built up over the centuries between them.
For more on this subject read our articles,
The New Testament Israel — Who They Are And Who They Are Not
Racial Exclusivity In The Bible — In Both Old And New Testaments
TGC continues,
“10. Heaven has no room for racism (Rev. 5:9-10; 7:9-12; 22:1-5). Woe to us if our vision of the good life here on earth will be completely undone by the reality of new heavens and new earth yet to come. Antagonism toward people of another color, language, or ethnic background is antagonism toward God himself and his design for eternity.”
Universalism has blinded Christians to the fact that Revelations was written by the Israelite John about the past, present, and future destiny of the 12 Tribes of Israel.
They will always quote Revelation 5:9 without even considering the original Greek and its deep meaning:
“…and they sing a new song, saying, ‘Worthy art thou to take the scroll, and to open the seals of it, because thou wast slain, and didst redeem us to God in thy blood, out of every tribe, and tongue, and people, and nation’…”
Notice John specifically says “out of” here — as opposed to simply “every tribe and tongue”, etc.
Revelation 5:9 refers back to the words of Acts 2:5-6 (see above) — where Christ commanded his Israelite followers to regather their fellow Israelites “out of“ or “out from“ the nations in which they were dispersed.
And it’s no mistake that in the original Greek, John chose the word φυλή — or phulé (Strong’s #5443) — translated as “tribe” here — because as Strong’s states,
“The term “phulé” primarily refers to a tribe or a division of people, often used in the context of the twelve tribes of Israel. It denotes a group of people who share a common ancestry, lineage, or heritage. In the New Testament, “phulé” is used to describe the tribes of Israel and, by extension, the broader divisions of people in the eschatological visions of Revelation.”
These “broader divisions of people” are those nations out of which the 12 tribes will be gathered. And Paul most assuredly did not contradict Christ and “expand” the New Covenant to evangelize non-Israelite “gentiles”.
Just so there is no misunderstanding, Strong’s goes on to give the cultural and historical context of “phulé”:
“In ancient Israel, the concept of tribes was central to the identity and organization of the nation. The twelve tribes of Israel, each descending from one of the twelve sons of Jacob, formed the foundational structure of the Israelite community. These tribes were not only familial groups but also political and territorial entities. In the New Testament era, the tribal identity continued to hold significance, especially in the context of Jewish heritage and eschatological expectations.”
Those “eschatological expectations” for the 12 Tribes are clearly spelled out in Revelation — and they are not — and should not be — universally applied to “all people” –as the “tribal identity” of Israel continued to be significant.
TGC then proceeds to, predictably, a repetition of Revelation 5:9 by citing Revelation 7:9,
“After these things I saw, and behold, a great multitude, which no one was able to number, out of all nations, and tribes, and peoples, and tongues, standing before the throne, and before the Lamb, having been clothed [in] white robes, and palms in their hands…”
Again, he ignores the key phrase “out of” — and its reference to Acts 2:5-6 — and so this verse cannot be used to claim that “all races” will stand before the throne before Christ. Nowhere in the Gospels does Christ claim to have come for any other race of people other than Israel.
And the fact that all those before the throne have “palms” in their hands is crucial — as the date palm was a recurrent symbol of the 12 Tribes of Israel throughout scripture (Psalm 92:12) — which is why when Christ rode into Jerusalem, His own people — Israel — greeted him with palm branches (John 12:13).
Like the term “sheep”, nowhere in scripture does the palm refer to any other people besides Israel.
TGC then surprisingly cites Revelation 22 — without understanding the obvious symbolism exclusive to the 12 Tribes of Israel:
“And he shewed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb. In the midst of the street of it, and on either side of the river, was there the tree of life, which bare twelve manner of fruits, and yielded her fruit every month: and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations. And there shall be no more curse: but the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it; and his servants shall serve him: And they shall see his face; and his name shall be in their foreheads. And there shall be no night there; and they need no candle, neither light of the sun; for the Lord God giveth them light: and they shall reign for ever and ever.”
–Revelation 22:1-5
The 12 Tribes of Israel are represented by the 12 fruits — just as there were 12 baskets of leftover bread for Israel after Christ fed the great multitude (John 6:13). The other 7 baskets do not, as most Christians are led to believe, represent non-Israelite “gentiles” — rather they symbolize the 7 churches of Revelation 2 — to evangelize the “lost” Israelite northern tribes “scattered abroad”.
And the mark on their foreheads in Revelation 22 symbolizes Israel’s deliverance from Egypt:
“…And it hath been to thee for a sign on thy hand, and for a memorial between thine eyes, so that the law of Jehovah is in thy mouth, for by a strong hand hath Jehovah brought thee out from Egypt.”
–Exodus 13:9
This reading of Revelation is confirmed in Revelation 21:10-12 — verses that Universalist Christians generally ignore because it reveals which people literally will enter the Kingdom of God:
“…And he carried me away in the Spirit to a mountain great and high, and showed me the great city, the holy Jerusalem, coming down out of Heaven from God, having the glory of God, and her light—like a most precious stone, as a jasper stone clear as crystal, also having a great and high wall, having twelve gates, and at the gates twelve messengers, and names written thereon, which are [those] of the twelve tribes of the sons of Israel.”
Where is the gate through which the non-Israelites will enter the Kingdom of God?
Is Christ so “racist” that He showed John only entrances for the 12 Tribes? Is this not even more “racist” than segregated water fountains and restaurants in the American South?
If this doesn’t show Christ’s “partiality” toward one race of people over all others, we don’t know what will convince you.
How can this be?
No Christian who can read their Bibles without Universalist blinders on should be surprised by John’s exclusive vision of restored Israel, as the prophet Jeremiah told us this is exactly how it would be with the New Covenant:
“Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah: Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day that I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt; which my covenant they brake, although I was an husband unto them, saith the LORD: But this shall be the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel; After those days, saith the LORD, I will put my law in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts; and will be their God, and they shall be my people.”
–Jeremiah 31:31-33
Nowhere does Jeremiah — or any other prophet — say that God will make a New Covenant with non-Israelite “gentiles” — the only “gentiles” who will partake in the New Covenant will be the descendants of those lost 10 northern tribes of Israel — the uncircumcised.
Paul foretells this complete restoration of Israel — formerly cursed and split into two kingdoms and sent into captivity — through faith in Christ in the coming Kingdom of God:
“And so all Israel shall be saved: as it is written, There shall come out of Sion the Deliverer, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob”
–Romans 11:26
Nowhere does Paul ever say “and so all the gentiles shall be saved” — for the same reason that Christ said He came only for the House of Israel.
So why did European Christians come to believe they were non-Israelite “gentiles” — and that God had changed His mind and “expanded” the New Covenant to include non-Israelite “gentiles”?
Quite simply, European Christians had forgotten their own history — which was a fulfillment of Isaiah’s prophecy that Israel would be known by another name:
“And nations have seen thy righteousness, And all kings thine honour, And He is giving to thee a new name, That the mouth of Jehovah doth define.”
—Isaiah 62:2
So if European Christians didn’t know they descended from the Israelites, it’s only natural that thy would have to interpret [or misinterpret] the Bible so as to fit themselves in to the New Covenant — which is exactly what they did by needlessly creating the false doctrine of dispensationalism.
The 10 northern tribes of Israel migrated northwest, through the “Pass of Israel” in Caucuses Mountains, up into Europe — while others migrated by sea and through Spain up into the British Isles.
See our many articles on this subject, including:

Heirs Of The Promise — What Happened To The Ten ‘Lost’ Northern Tribes Of Israel?
TGC concludes,
“Christians ought to reject racism, and do what they can to expose it and bring the gospel to bear upon it, not because we love pats on the back for our moral outrage or are desperate for restored moral authority, but because we love God and submit ourselves to the authority of his Word.”
CFT responds,
If Christians truly want to submit themselves to the authority of God’s word, they must first be able to discern the difference between God’s word and the modern language and false doctrines of egalitarianism that now dominate our public discourse by those who wish to destroy us, not bring us together through their “anti-racism” rhetoric.
God repeatedly commanded His people — the 12 Tribes of Israel — to be a “holy” people — by separating themselves from other people among whom they lived — yes, God commanded segregation for Israel — even in the New Testament:
“But you [are] a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people acquired, that you may show forth the excellencies of Him who called you out of darkness into His wonderful light.”
—1 Peter 2:9, Young’s Literal Translation
The word “holy” is translated from the Greek ἅγιος (“hagios”, Strong’s #40), which means
“sacred, set apart”
So Peter is telling his fellow Israelite Christians that they must remain a “holy” — a separate — people — a “chosen race” — and that command, no doubt, was transmitted down to all of their Christian descendants — who became the Christ-bearing race of European Christians today.
And since we saw above that Strong’s defines “sin” is as,
“…a deviation from God’s standards and a failure to live up to His holiness.”
God’s holiness — or being “holy” — implies being set apart — a separation from the world — so if we, as Christians fail to be set apart — we have sinned — the direct opposite of what TGC is claiming.
From a true Christian perspective, separation is Love not Hate — God’s love of His people Israel — and Israel’s love for each other — above all others.
If we truly want to submit to God’s authority, we Christians must follow this command, not the empty platitudes of our modern, corrupt society that celebrates racial integration.
And if Christians refuse to be shamed into submitting to the secular anti-racism slogans, they will be reviled as “racists” — and will suffer at the hands of their fellow “woke” Christians, just as Paul writes Timothy from prison,
“Therefore do not be ashamed of the testimony of our Lord or of me His prisoner, but join with me in suffering for the gospel according to the power of God.”
—2 Timothy 1:8
And yes, Christians are now being thrown in jail all across our western Christian nations for witnessing the Gospels — and worse, for expressing “racist” views.
If your understanding of the Gospels does not cause you to be alienated from our modern world — and attacked by that world — chances are you are worshiping “another Jesus” — a feel-good Jesus who conforms to Mystery Babylon and all its evil doctrines, as we are warned would happen:
“For if he that cometh preacheth another Jesus, whom we have not preached, or if ye receive another spirit, which ye have not received, or another gospel, which ye have not accepted, ye might well bear with him.”
—2 Corinthians 11:4
In no way did Jesus preach this modern “anti-racism” doctrine espoused by modern churches — and those who claim otherwise would rather please this world — and the feelings of those in this world — than please God.
The Jews that rejected and killed Jesus believed they as physical descendants of Abraham were Chosen by God by dint of their seed, bloodline/genetics. That was the old covenant; perhaps the oldest form of racism in recorded history. What is today referred to as ‘racist’ or ‘racial supremacy’ the New Testament Gospel refers to as ‘the children of the flesh’…
Christ says they which are the children of the flesh, that being the physical descendants of Abraham, that being a physical Israel, a physical nation, are not the children of God:
Romans 9:7-8 “They which are the children of the flesh, these are not the children of God: but the children of the promise that are counted for the seed. And IF ye be Christ’s, THEN are ye Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise.
Galatians: 3:16 Now to Abraham and his SEED were the promises made. He saith not, And to SEEDS, as of many (as in Jewish/White/Black); but as of one, And to thy seed, which is Christ.
No chosen Jewish ‘master race’; That means no Jewish supremacist state. New Testament revokes old testament ideological on racial supremacy which is embraced by the authors of this website.
Titus 3:9 But avoid foolish questions, and genealogies, and contentions, and strivings about the law; for they are unprofitable and vain.
Galatians 3:26 For ye are ALL the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus. 29 And IF ye be Christ’s, THEN are ye Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise.
John 3:6-7 For that which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again.”
Christ, by turning away from the primitive genetic superiority “of the flesh” espoused by the founders of racism, created a New Covenant based on faith in Christ.
Hebrews 8:6 But now hath he obtained a more excellent ministry, by how much also he is the mediator of a better covenant, which was established upon better promises.
7 For if that first covenant had been faultless, then should no place have been sought for the second.
Hebrews 8:13 “In that He says, ‘A new covenant,’ He has made the first obsolete. Now what is becoming obsolete and growing old is ready to vanish away.”
Jesus ended the old covenant with the Israelite, that being a Chosen nation of physical decadents of Abraham, that being a physical Israel, a physical nation… a master race ideology, and replaced it with a heavenly kingdom by faith in Christ… Be you Jew (race) or Greek (race), Bond or Free, Male or Female,
(No matter your race, your social status, or your gender, ye are all one in Christ.)
That makes Jesus the king of Anti-Zionism.
Why are Christians trying to help the Jewish Anti-Christ undo what God did?
“Jesus”:
What you are arguing here is very common among Christian universalists — who generally believe, in complete opposition to Christ’s direct words — that the Old Covenant given to Abraham and his seedline down through Jacob-Israel — was completely done away with and replaced with a New Covenant that applies to “everyone” — regardless of seedline — as long as they “believed in” Jesus.
You seem oblivious to the fact that many of the readers here at CFT used to believe exactly what you do — and know your universalist thesis backwards and forwards — and can make your argument even better than you can — but unlike you, they actually humbled themselves and considered they might be wrong about what they’d been taught.
If the apostle Paul had ever tried to make such an argument to the Israelites of Judea — that the Old Covenant with Israel was completely done away with — he would have been stoned to death as a heretic — and he never made such an argument, nor would he have.
Christ said in Matthew 5:17-18,
“Do not suppose that I came to throw down the law or the prophets — I did not come to throw down, but to fulfill [it]. For truly I say to you, until heaven and earth shall pass away, not even one iota, nor one stroke of a letter, shall pass away from the law, until everything should happen.”
So right from the start your position contradicts the words of Christ. The New Covenant did not nullify the Old Covenant with Israel — rather it was laid on top of the Old Covenant — and fulfilled through Israel’s faith in Christ.
Christ goes on to warn people like you who claim the Old Covenant was completely done away with — that they will face the punishment of never entering the Kingdom of Heaven for claiming such a thing:
“Therefore anyone who sets aside one of the least of these commands and teaches others accordingly will be called least in the kingdom of heaven, but whoever practices and teaches these commands will be called great in the kingdom of heaven. For I say to you that unless your righteousness shall abound above that of the scribes and Pharisees, you shall never enter into the kingdom of the heavens.” (Matthew 5:19-20)
Are you sure you still want to insist that your position is correct?
Nowhere does Christ say that ALL of Abraham’s descendants are “children of the flesh” and therefore not of God — what He does say is that Israelites who believe that merely by their birthright as the seed of Abraham and their covenant with God and nothing else will be saved are wrong — that they need to have faith in Christ to be saved. That is the meaning of Romans 9:7-8.
Your misunderstanding of Galatians 3:16 is typical of all Christian universalists — who never bother to read its context — or the verse preceding it — where Paul affirms Christ’s direct words in Matthew 5:17-18,
“Brethren, I speak after the manner of men; Though it be but a man’s covenant, yet if it be confirmed, no man disannulleth, or addeth thereto.” (Galatians 3:15)
Paul here is reassuring the Galatians (who were indeed Israelites according to the flesh) that the Old Covenant is not nullified by the New Covenant but rather confirmed — culminating only through faith in Jesus Christ — the “one seed” of Israel — this is the true meaning of Galatians 3:16.
If you need more proof that Paul is indeed making this legal argument to the seed of Abraham (his posterity), read Meyer’s Commentary on Galatians 3:16 and its legal context:
https://biblehub.com/commentaries/meyer/galatians/3.htm
You make the very same error when you quote Hebrews 8 — and completely ignore the context — which directly quotes and affirms Jeremiah 31:31-33,
“For finding fault with them, he saith, Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah: Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day when I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt; because they continued not in my covenant, and I regarded them not, saith the Lord. For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, saith the Lord; I will put my laws into their mind, and write them in their hearts: and I will be to them a God, and they shall be to me a people: And they shall not teach every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the Lord: for all shall know me, from the least to the greatest.” (Hebrews 8:8-11)
So there you have it — Hebrews explicitly states that the New Covenant will be only with the House of Israel and the House of Judah — just like the Old Covenant — but it will be fulfilled through THEIR faith in Jesus Christ — the Seed of Abraham.
And you predictably quote Titus 3:9 about vain genealogies — without understanding the context. Again, Paul here warns Israelites that salvation is not their birthright merely by their flesh — their genealogies which can be traced back to Abraham — but rather through faith in Christ.
Paul affirms this same doctrine in Philippians 3 — where he explains that his Israelite genealogy — and his adherence to the Old Covenant — will amount to nothing without faith in Christ. That is, if he is going to fulfill his potential as an Israelite according to the flesh, he must have faith in Christ:
“Though I might also have confidence in the flesh. If any other man thinketh that he hath whereof he might trust in the flesh, I more: Circumcised the eighth day, of the stock of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, an Hebrew of the Hebrews; as touching the law, a Pharisee; Concerning zeal, persecuting the church; touching the righteousness which is in the law, blameless. But what things were gain to me, those I counted loss for Christ. Yea doubtless, and I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and do count them but dung, that I may win Christ, And be found in him, not having mine own righteousness, which is of the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith.” (Philippians 3:4-8)
What Paul is NOT saying here is that his Israelite genealogy is “meaningless” or irrelevant — rather, he’s saying that if his Israelite genealogy is to have any meaning, he must have faith in Christ — and this applies to ALL of Abraham’s seedline.
So in no way is Paul telling the Galatians in verse 3:28 that their Israelite bloodline is irrelevant — or that some Israelites have any advantage over other Israelites — but rather all Israelites according to the flesh are of equal status in God’s eyes IF they have faith in Jesus Christ.
And this is the same message that Christ explains to the Pharisee, Nicodemus in John 3 — having an Israelite bloodline and adhering to the Old Covenant is not enough for an Israelite to be saved — he must have faith in Christ and be “born again” — and become a new creation — an Israelite who fulfills the promises to his bloodline through faith in Israel’s messiah — Jesus Christ.
John 3 has a context — Christ is addressing His fellow Israelites — so what He is saying is that “whosoever” among my fellow Israelites believes in Me shall have everlasting life — otherwise He would be contradicting Himself and what he explicitly stated in Matthew 15:24,
“I am sent only unto the lost tribes of the House of Israel”
Your universalism has made contradict Himself — and made His words to none effect. God chose Israel — only Israel according to the flesh — to fulfill His covenant through faith in Christ. Those Israelites who refused to accept Christ are destined to be merely “children of the flesh” — and be cast into darkness — and denied entrance into the Kingdom of God.
Nowhere does Christ say that the Old Covenant is “obsolete” and has been thrown away — rather Hebrew 8:7-13 explains how the Old Covenant is merely growing old — however, it is never entirely done away with.
Meyer’s Commentary on Hebrews 8 confirms this:
https://biblehub.com/commentaries/meyer/hebrews/8.htm
The great irony here is that the “anti-racism” doctrine you espouse comes directly from the anti-Christ jews themselves — they invented the term “racism” to discourage and shame the European people from ever knowing their true identity — as the Christ-bearing race who fulfilled the promises to Abraham’s seed.
Jews claim that only they are “Israel” — ignoring the fact that there are — yes, still are — 12 Tribes of Israel — and that they will be “saved” merely because they are “Jews” — exactly what the Pharisees believed.
The only difference being that today’s “Jews”, by their own admission, are technically not racial Hebrews or legitimate Israelites — therefore, any Christian believing that their salvation has anything to do them is sincerely misled by these wolves in sheep’s clothing.
We, on the other hand, believe no such thing — we believe exactly what Christ, Paul, and all the apostles said — that only the lost sheep of the House of Israel shall be saved IF — and only IF — they have faith in Christ and live righteously as Abraham did.
We believe Christ’s direct words — being of the race of Jacob-Israel will NOT save you without faith in Him. Realizing that the European Christ-bearing people are Israel is not something they should brag about or glorify in — rather, it should humble them — and make them fear for their fate if they do not live up to the expectations that Christ has for them — that IF they have faith, they shall walk through one of the 12 gates of Israel into the Kingdom of Heaven (Revelation 21:10-12).

10 Reasons Why The Bible Encourages Racial Segregation…..
Racial Segregation In The Bible — Punishment, Preservation And Redemption Of Israel
https://christiansfortruth.com/racial-segregation-in-the-bible-punishment-preservation-and-redemption-of-israel/
The only racists that Jesus hates are those who hate white people for being Israel.
Nonwhites hate whites because whites unintentionally make them feel inferior, but they twist it around and claim whites intentionally keep them down by being racist. And jews orchestrate this twisted game.
Matthew Dyer published a 2023 book: “Anglo-Israel Messengers: A History of Those Who Have Believed And Taught That The Anglo-Saxon And Kindred People Are Israel”
In the introduction to the book, he says that Christians don’t want to believe Israel Identity out of fear of being called racists. He says this:
Why do more people not believe Anglo-Israel?
“This has been a question asked for many years by those who believe the Anglo-Israel message. The critic would say because it is not backed by historical evidence, when offered historical evidence, they say it is not backed by archeological evidence. When offered archeological evidence and then they say it is not backed by linguistic evidence. When offered linguistic evidence and then perhaps they say, “well it’s racist!”
Or perhaps they may even lead with that, but the reason I think it is accepted by a remnant of people is because simply it is not “politically correct” and goes against everything the media and the “Judeo-Christian” churches are teaching today.
To say that the Jews are not God’s chosen people, is to put into question the millions of dollars American Churches send to the nation of Israel every year. To say that the Jews are not God’s chosen people, is to put into question Zionist Israeli’s claim to Palestine and their unjustified murder of Palestinians every year. To say that the Jews are not God’s chosen people, is to put into question what the Seminaries have been teaching the last 120 years. To say that the Jews are not God’s chosen people, is to put into question most of today’s “Christian” Eschatology concerning the “End Times.”
To say the Jews ARE God’s chosen people, is to put into question why God did NOT keep His word concerning the promises made with Abraham and his descendants the Israelites? Numbers 23:19 states that “God is not a man, that he should lie…”
I believe God has kept his promises, and so did these well-educated men and women listed in this book. All I ask you to do is to consider; “could there have been some mistaken identity of God’s covenant people Israel?”
They don’t believe because the entire world is conspiring to keep it suppressed. Creating myths like “Anglo-Saxon” and “the jews”. Ignoring Welsh history.
And let’s face it: the non-Whites who are supposed to be “fellow believers” can’t handle that Jesus would be a White man.
The English would have to admit their “inferior” brown haired native people they STOLE a kingdom from are, in fact, the people chosen by the God they worship. Same various nonwhites, who would have to admit they rape, murder, steal and destroy GOD’S PEOPLE, the same God they claim to worship. Now how many of them do you think will admit to that?
“Sunday morning at 11’oclock is the most segregated hour in American life”
-Protestant aphorism
Saw this quote on Twitter/X….the rabbi knows something that most Christians don’t….
“Antisemitism is no more separable from Christianity than racism is from whiteness.”
—Rabbi Daniel Bogard, Twitter
Because people know instinctively that nations aren’t an idea but a fact. “Magic dirt” and “Magic oaths” don’t change one’s nationality; nothing does.
Nations are bloodlines, families of closely related people by birth. Kindred, as the bible says.
Granting nonwhites political citizenship to a white country will never make them part of the national bloodline, the true nation.
They are not our neighbors and never will be.
If a white man happens to be born in Japan, he will never be Japanese, no matter what his birth certificate or passport says.
M Luther,
“Granting nonwhites political citizenship to a white country will never make them part of the national bloodline, the true nation.”
And worse.
As the insane British allow more and more immigration into the UK, they are turning the UK into the US, by giving non whites positions of power and authority within and because of it you now have Shabana Mahmood, the Lord Chancellor and Secretary of State for Justice, of (Pakistan parentage born in the UK) who now is bringing in legislation to not jail non whites, for crimes that whites would be jailed for. You can’t make it up.
They were warned about this many times. Not only do you NOT allow, non European/white immigration, but you NEVER allow them positions of power and authority, regardless how long they’ve been in the country/born there.
—– Marcus —–
“…Not only do you NOT allow, non European/white immigration, but you NEVER allow them positions of power and authority, regardless how long they’ve been in the country/born there….”
Absolutely, Amen.
Universalists i.e., racial Universalists would have us believe that they are our neighbor and brother in faith and by thinking this way, have completely sabotaged White Western Nations. We have the Jews we deserve and yes, we can point the finger at the Jew, but WE TOLERATED them.
It is said that the Jews opened the Gates of Toledo. Well ….. who gave them the keys??? And why were they “inside” the gates in the first place.
West,
“We have the Jews we deserve and yes, we can point the finger at the Jew, but WE TOLERATED them.”
Precisely. Not only did we elect politicians into government, who instead of getting rid of the Jew, welcomed them, but worse and allowed Jews to become politicians, along with holding positions of power and authority within every establishment.
It’s a far cry, from when Jews weren’t allowed to testify in a court room, courtesy of their notorious perjury.
Ezra Pound stated:
“The answer to the Jewish problem is simple. Keep them out of banking, out of education, out of government.”
It’s simpler than that: “keep them out of your country and better still, lock them away on an island, patrol the waters and make sure they’re not up to mischief. Give them the world they so desire, just keep them away from everyone else.”
Marcus
I think what Pound was implying is that if you bar jews from those professions, they would simply leave the country because those professions are the ones they gravitate to and can wield influence. If you added entertainment to that list, it would probably work.
Kenneth,
I don’t think it would be that easy. They’d always find some way to take control. If you removed them from banking, education and politics, then you only remove them from publicly being involved. They would run them from behind the scenes by running brothels and compromising politicians. They would gravitate more to black market activity and gangsterism.
Take Meyer Lansky or the Kray Twins for example? They would simply do what they did in Spain and pretend to be Christians (becoming Jesuits) to avoid expulsion, while getting on with their Babylonian Talmudism. Remember Kenneth, they were exiled from the UK in 1290. They’re STILL lawfully exiled from the UK as it was never repealed. And look at the power they hold? They got all of that from being gangsters.
The only place you can put a Jew, who won’t be a problem to any non Jewish society, is somewhere far and away from non Jewish society. Trust me on this. If you dropped them all on a desert island and shut them off from the rest of the world, you would see a drastic change within non Jewish society and for the better.
Hitler made jews work at a job that wasn’t banking, media or porn for a few years, and they claimed they were genocided.
God preserved the Israelites as a people because without them faith in Him would vanish, and His son, Jesus came to bring together and preserve all of the Israelites for the same reason: without Israelites Christianity would vanish.
—— just because ——–
“…..without Israelites Christianity would vanish…..”
Not to sound too Black Pilled — but I believe it has, “vanished”. At least in any kind of “Organized” way.
Still plenty of “Israelites” across the 4 corners of the earth; but we are hard-pressed to find 4 or more Spirit Filled Israelites gathered in the same room.
Trying to be an Optimist — surely this must be a good thing ONLY because it must mean that some kind of END approaches. Luke 18:8 has always been a very Sobering verse/reality for me.
“….. when the Son of Man returns; will He really find faith on the earth….”
The END is always described as a desert, not an abundant harvest. Only 8 were saved from the flood.
Half of the Virgins were ready, half were not. Etc., etc.
God promised a “Remnant”. The Few who walked that Narrow Road.
Great Comment! Thank you for contributing.
I’d say it’s more that we have a lot of ignorant and stupid Christians mixed in with more hypocritical liars and greedy charlatans. A starving sheep has to try to graze somewhere.
Philadelphia and Sardis are still around, just not obvious.
—– Creat —–
Are you an “All Israel will be Saved” proponent?
According to God’s definition of Israel, yes because He says so. Too bad for those who reject Him like the pharisees, who Christ made it clear aren’t Israel. Lot of those losers in “church” right now.
—— Creat ——
I’m so confused.
The belief/teaching — All Israel will be Saved — LITERALLY means every Adamic Person (White/Caucasian/European) since the dawn of time will find Eternal Life, despite how they may have lived their life here on Earth. Thus — All Israelites will find Eternal Life, despite how they lived their life. Take Amnon (Tamar and Amnon) as example. Did Amnon find Eternal Life? Was Ezekiel not understanding God when he wrote —
“….But when a righteous man turns away from his righteousness and commits iniquity, and does according to all the abominations that the wicked man does, shall he live? All the righteousness which he has done shall not be remembered; because of the unfaithfulness of which he is guilty and the sin which he has committed, because of them he shall die…”
A White Israelite could be in the very act of Adultery or Murder and he has a heart attack and thus would be ushered right in to the Kingdom of Eternity. This is — All Israel Will Be Saved — Literally. But Paul says “No”.
You say the “pharisees” were not Israel. Well ….. Paul was a Pharisee. Did Paul not find Eternal Life?
The so called “Losers” in church that will not find Eternal Life — according to you — are NOT White Adamic Peoples??? What, are they mamzers? But look very White?
TGC point #2 “we are all sinners” – You asked what does this have to do with proving racism is a sin and then stated that he has not proven that our anthropology is identical.
From DeYoung’s perspective, I’m pretty sure that he doesn’t even contemplate in the slightest that he has to prove that, as I doubt he has ever in the past or presently even entertained the idea that all humans don’t descend from Adam.
If it is not even on his radar, and if he thinks that all rational people “know”, as self-evident, that we all come from Adam, then it’s not a non sequitur for him, and his argument does have logic. But this is the problem that all “orthodox” Christianity has at present and is not unique to TGC at all.
All I ever knew from youth, raised in a strong Bible-believing home, in an extremely homogeneous Caucasian environment, was that all humans came from Adam. I never questioned that, even though I had no contact with any other races. I thought it was self-evident.
What started my long journey was an academic year-long stint as a “missionary” to western Africa as a late teenager, when I started to realize that there were deep problems with everything I thought about anthropology, let alone theology.
It has been a long journey of some 20+ years for me to slowly come to grips with the Biblical data and the scientific data that now leads me to conclude that not all humans come from Adam, which is a journey that almost none of my family or friends is willing to make, regardless of the evidence presented as tactfully as possible.
In my view, this seems to be the real issue which drives all of the arguments either way. TGC point #1 is really based on the same assumption. All of the other points flow from this foundational belief, and they all come collapsing down if one begins to admit that not all humans descend from Adam. Everything in “orthodox” modern theology, especially Evangelicalism, radically changes if one begins to admit that this may be true.
In fact, in their worldview, even believing for an instant that not all humans descend from Adam is THE most racist thing one could believe. They can’t even conceive of how this could be possible let alone for someone to believe it.
For me, two things helped drive this home:
(A) a growing realization of the history of true Israel in the dispersion, as opposed to the fake Jewish “adversary” of the NT, coupled with a realization that the entire Biblical account was directed to the history of this single family and its descendants…
…And (B) the scientific evidence, especially genetic, showing more recently the impossibility that all humans have descended from a single ancestral pair, all of which actually backs up the Biblical reckoning once one sees that OT biblical data that one could never see before when the blinders were on.
This is a difficult journey for our Israelite kin to undertake given how the Israelite nations are now being so radically deceived by the synagogue of the adversary who pretends that they are Judahites but who are not and do lie.

Why The Apostle Paul Did Not Write An ‘Epistle To The Bantus’
https://christiansfortruth.com/why-the-apostle-paul-did-not-write-an-epistle-to-the-bantus/
It would be interesting to hear your reaction and insights.
JK said “All I ever knew from youth, raised in a strong Bible-believing home, in an extremely homogeneous Caucasian environment”
I grew up in this same way. When I was born, America was still 90% white, and we just took it for granted that it would always be that way. It was high trust neighborhoods and towns.
When everyone around you is white, it’s natural to think we could have had the same ancestor, Adam. My great grandfather’s name was Adam, and we came from him. Easy to understand the idea.
Now that our nations are flooded with non-whites and our communities divided, with all the problems that come with diversity, it’s much harder to believe intuitively that we can all have that common ancestor. It’s absurd to think so after a few minutes of logic applied to it.
Our people with common ancestry live the same way, handed down over 100s of generations, and non-whites do not live the same way. Now I’m skeptical when I hear any non-white claim they are Christian.
Their lips may say it, but their hearts are far away, back in their ancestral lands where they were cannibals and worshiped the moon or cows. They turn Christ into just another idol. They sit in our churches and imitate what we say and how we act, but it’s a learned behavior, not natural and spontaneous. They know how to get our approval by this behavior.
We follow Christ because He is in our DNA, we share the same DNA, and so His words resonate in our hearts, just as God said He would put the new covenant in our hearts.
It’s like non-whites have a defective radio receiver in their hearts and cannot tune into Christ’s frequency. They hear only static.
—— Kenneth ——-
Thank you for sharing. I could really relate to your experience.
Could you share some of the Resources that you first stumbled upon that began your “awakening” so to speak?
“…..It’s like non-whites have a defective radio receiver in their hearts and cannot tune into Christ’s frequency. They hear only static…..”
Great word picture.
In the past, we have had a few interesting “debates/arguments” with Racial Universalists that have found their way here to CFT.
One of the Core Prinicples in this discussion is the teaching of what it means to be “Christian”. Forget the racial part for a minute.
“Baggage” …………… the baggage that has been passed down from generation to generation pretty much, in my opinion, since the time of John Calvin. I could say even Augustine, but, I like to use John Calvin as a Bench-mark of sorts because this is when the definition of “Christian” took such a huge right turn and it has never corrected. The ana-baptists were really the only opposition and their writings deserve a second look.
Back to my point — for these Racial Universalists, all that is required for someone to be “Christian” is simply ONE act of Faith or Belief. So, they know or have seen or heard these black, yellow and red peoples profess Faith in a “Jesus” and that is good enough for them. It does not matter their “fruit”.
As I was myself “coming out of her” so to speak, I struggled with this idea that “Eternal Life” not intended for non-white peoples.
Romans 11 has been of interest to me as of late. I find verse 18 to be significant to this conversation. We here now understand that “gentiles” is really “the Nations” — Ethnos and so still the same peoples the New Covenant was given to. These Lost Israelites were on a “status level” different from the Israelites under the Law.
“…..do not consider yourself to be superior to those other branches. If you do, consider this: You do not support the root, but the root supports you…..”
Wow.
So, now lets consider non-whites into the mix.
When I find a non-white “christian” whether here, or on Facebook or Youtube —– one of my first questions or challenges to them is to prove to them that the Israelites were White/Caucasian Peoples and by default then, so was Jesus the Messiah.
This ONE set of information invokes usually 2 reactions: I’m a racist nutjob and they never speak to me again. Rarely, will the person accept this information and then if they do, 2) they are “equal” and can never accept their status as “unequal”.
Not that I am expecting some kind of special service or gratitude or anything like that. But the mere fact that they cannot accept their “place” in the Fellowship — proves to me that they are incapable of “Hearing” God as you eloquently state.
The Lost Israelites were on a lower level! What would we say about non-adamics?!
If they are anything — they would be “Guests” or the “Stranger” or the Sojourner passing through — who was REQUIRED to be subservient to their Host.
Find me a non-white “Christian” who is subservient to the White Race!!!
There was a time when they were — but it was because of the Whip. Not of their own free will.
Just a few thoughts of mine. Sorry for the length. I think my indwelt “empathy” still holds out hope that there is a non-white out there somewhere who recognizes their place and believes and loves God under those parameters/conditions.
Thank you for sharing. I really was touched by your Testimony. Really helps me. I am not alone here.
Cheers.

Many years ago I was listening to an online radio show and a guest started talking about who the real Isralites are. I had never heard this idea before but thought it was interesting, so I started researching it indepth and became convinced it was true.
It answered all the nagging questions I had about race and these people who call themselves jews. It was the only theory that explained what I saw in the world. And since then, I have never read of any other theory that better explains what is happening today with Christianity and the world.
—— Kenneth —–
“…It was the only theory that explained what I saw in the world….”
Agreed. After Nine Eleven and stumbling across the Jewish Question — I was still an Evangelical then and all of a sudden my entire Christian World View was shattered.
I actually kind of walked away from “Christianity” then. I stopped going to church — which in hindsight was a huge blessing. I almost lost Faith. UNTILL …… I started to hear about this idea that Europeans were the Israelites of Scripture.
My life has never been the same since. I was Dead and became Alive. Praise Jesus.

Great comment. Thank you for sharing!
You said — “…..This is a difficult journey for our Israelite kin to undertake given how the Israelite nations are now being so radically deceived by the synagogue of the adversary who pretends that they are Judahites but who are not and do lie…..”
Would you consider this to be part of the prophetic time-table? ie., the great falling away.
It seems no matter how much “evidence” I provide to my family — “Logic” is impossible to impart onto them. I say — “… Spiritual Truths are not Intelletual Endeavors…”.
It is a Spiritual Block — not an intellectual one; nor even psychological (as I don’t distinguish a difference between the Spirit and the Soul)(I have hard time with the concept of ‘mental illness’. And “brainwashing” or “programming” would be a Spiritual Problem, not a psychological one)
Eventually, if one truly possesses the Holy Spirit, they will arrive at this Truth that we have embraced here.
Thanks again.
Bravo! Awesome article. Standing Ovation.
You could close CFT and just leave this ONE article and it would be “complete”. This should be pinned to the top of “Core Topics”.
What a great Evangelical Tract, really. If we could get this article into a small booklet to hand-out to White People who pass through our lives.
Reading this article takes me back to when I was a judeo-evangelical zionist christian. The first feeling that comes to my mind is one of embarrassment.
That article is so JUVENILLE in its Logic and Scriptural Integrity. How did I fall for it?
I can’t believe I used to “feel” good reading or hearing a sermon just like this article by the gospel coalition. Coupled with the “White Guilt” campaign — I would go out of my way to “save” and help non-white peoples over my own Kind.
I have learned one very important lesson over the past 10 years —-
“…. Spiritual Truths are not Intellectual Endeavors …..”
I did not believe judeo-christianity because I was stupid. I believed it because I was Dead.
Praise Jesus for allowing me to know Him.
West,
We took your advice and will stick the article at the top of the first page — and add it to “Core Topics”.
Your comments reminded us to add this additional comment near the end…..
“From a true Christian perspective, separation is Love not Hate — God’s love of His people Israel — and Israel’s love for each other — above all others.”
CFT,
Your articles are a blessing. This article (along with all others on this site) is filled with so much knowledge and wisdom, that to any truth seeking Christian (or individual regardless of faith) it is invaluable.
I have stated, countless times that Christianity today, has nothing to do with YHWH and Yahshua, but is nothing more than a hippie cult of nonsense, where people mold Christianity around their lives instead of their lives around Christianity.
Of course, it’s Marxism and this article opened my eyes – “Racist” — A Word Invented by USSR’s Leon Trotsky
Common sense really dictates that the choice, for an individual to love-hate, like-dislike, associate with-avoid, speak to-ignore, employ-dismiss and cohabit with is entirely the prerogative of the individual and no one else to decide otherwise.
No individual has any authority over another, without their given consent. No group has any authority over another, without their given consent. No individual/group has the authority to give another individual/group authority over another, without their given consent. It’s that simple.
I have spoken to people about this many times and they immediately agree, yet the minute I ask them: “what is worse; the racist or another telling that individual they can’t be racist”? — they instantly answer with ‘the racist’ failing to see they’ve just contradicted themselves.
Resentment is created when people are forced to do and accept that which they don’t want to do and accept. This then manifests into anger and then hatred. Violence follows.
Quoting Vox Day:
“In light of these historical observations, isn’t it intriguing to observe that the economic nomadism encouraged by the Enlightenment-era elite for the last 200 years appears to be in the process of extinguishing West European civilization, barbarising the New World and the Old World alike, and thereby leaving staunchly racist China at the head of global civilization today?
Perhaps greater intellectual courage, which is to say greater knowledge and acceptance of the fact that racism is neither a sin nor an evil, but a civilizational prerequisite, could have averted what is shaping up to be a global cataclysm surpassed only by Noah’s flood.”

– a list of head notes – much to read.
Another Vox Day summary:
“Now, as I see Christian ministers angrily denouncing racism and sexism from the pulpit even as they embrace Babelist globalism and sexual abomination, it all makes perfect sense. Aslan is not a tame lion, and God’s definition of sin is not determined by temporal human sensitivities. Neither racism nor hurting someone’s feelings by your beliefs are sins, and anyone who tells you they are is not merely lying, he is a servant of the spirit of Antichrist.
This is really not that difficult for any educated believer. By EVERY single definition of racism utilized by the anti-racists, both Jesus Christ and God are revealed to be sinners by their overtly racist words and actions. Therefore, the perverted theology of anti-racism is obviously and necessarily false, and quite possibly blasphemous as well. And in that vein, notice how many female names are among the letter’s signatories.
Every so-called pastor who preaches against racism should be expelled from the pulpit. And if he refuses to repent, from the Church. They are among the wolves in sheep’s clothing of whom we were warned.”
I think most Christians are generally conformists, not the rebels they may see themselves as.
And many if not most are intellectually lazy and fearful, so they will rarely bother checking anything their pastor tells them. They fear getting kicked out of the flock for being adversarial or proud.
Pressure to go along to get along because they value being a member of the group more than the truth.
And nowadays many Christians don’t want to be seen as “uncool” or “backward”, or out of step with the current thing, approved attitudes that the tv bombards them with.
Hard to be a Christian without coming out of babylon, unplug, start over from scratch, open the Bible and read it like it’s the very first time.
Crush Limbraw,
“Perhaps greater intellectual courage, which is to say greater knowledge and acceptance of the fact that racism is neither a sin nor an evil, but a civilizational prerequisite, could have averted what is shaping up to be a global cataclysm surpassed only by Noah’s flood.””
Precisely. Racism is merely the desire to protect one’s culture, nation and civilization, no differently than a locked door is to protect everything that resides within. And the bible does state that the return of Yeshua will be when society is as it was in the days of Noah (Mathew 24:37).
Everything that is happening today, in the west, is looked upon, by the intelligent, as nothing less than sheer insanity. However, the stupid, who make up the overwhelming majority, are unable to comprehend the control over them, through the abandonment of common sense God’s laws and implementation of Man’s.
The Legal system very much is the Laws of man (aka the Traditions of the Elders).
And more interestingly, the legal system does not acknowledge the living person, but instead the legal person, which is nothing more than a fiction, created upon the registration of the newborn at the local town hall.
All mankind, to the state, is nothing more than a ‘commodity’ to be bought and sold, paralleling the very teachings within the Babylonian Talmud of what the non Jews are in relation to the Jews.
