He even permitted us gentiles to be saved.

Would racism be in accord with His teaching?

Let me add my opinion is Racism is wrong. Christ was not racist. He did not hate and neither should we.

i highly doubt that colour would matter to Jesus
and since God created all people ... arent we all of God ?
wouldnt we be discriminating against his creation ?

If Jesus was a racist why would he have bothered to have given his life for all of our sins? And no we should not be racist. Everyone of us just so happens to be God's Children, it does not matter what race, or creed that we are.
God Bless!

Adam was made from dirt, Eve was made from Adam, Noah was a descendant of Adam and Eve, and we are all descendants of Noah. Therefore we are all made of the same dirt.
Jam 2:1 My brethren, have not the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Lord of glory, with respect of persons.
Jam 2:2 For if there come unto your assembly a man with a gold ring, in goodly apparel, and there come in also a poor man in vile raiment;
Jam 2:3 And ye have respect to him that weareth the gay clothing, and say unto him, Sit thou here in a good place; and say to the poor, Stand thou there, or sit here under my footstool:
Jam 2:4 Are ye not then partial in yourselves, and are become judges of evil thoughts?
God does not want us to judge by the outside. God doesn't even want us to judge. He just wants us to love one another as we love ourselves. We shouldn't agree with every thing that we confront in this life, but we are not to hate anyone.
God Bless You

No, not from what I've read, and no. And for me, it's not even a religious issue. It's simply a no-brainer. People who are rascist just lack the ability to imagine themselves into someone else's shoes. Who we are, what color we are, whether we're male or female, all of it, is decided by the most freakish random chance imaginable. So to be prejudiced at all, about people you know nothing about, is just ignorance perpetuating itself.

No, Jesus wasn't racist and we shouldn't be either. Jesus was the one breaking down barriers, reaching out to those the rabbis wouldn't go near. He was criticised much because of it.

Matthew 7
Judging Others
1"Do not judge, or you too will be judged. 2For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.
3"Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother's eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye? 4How can you say to your brother, 'Let me take the speck out of your eye,' when all the time there is a plank in your own eye? 5You hypocrite, first take the plank out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother's eye.

I do believe this a non essential question. God obviously made people of different colors so I think we should appreciate all.
