I'm not really up with my Bible . But I can tell you whether it's the Bible, Koran, Teachings of other Prophets and religions they all have something similar. It says "we are all made in God's image" that I do remember." Love One another as thy self." So there is no room for Racism. Funny this The most so called devout God fearing people are the most Racist and narrow minded and intolerant ones. Racism is perpetrated by ignorance and fear of people they don't understand nor want too.
Hope that helps clear things.

Jesus told to the story of the good Samaritan. The Samaritans were a race/ethnic group disliked by the Hebrews.
You know the tale so I guess Jesus was against racism.

Yes, I believe it is a sin. The Bible says that we are all created equal in the eyes of God.

Jesus replace into actual utilising this as a lesson for the crowds around him. He in uncomplicated terms did what they estimated him to do as a non-Samaritan- to furnish the Samaritans the chilly shoulder. He gave the female the prospect to coach the human beings around him up by her reaction. Then, after the lesson replace into found out, he healed her. keep in mind his parable of the sturdy Samaritan? The replace into extra salt interior the wound, in case you will. So this project replace into actual a lesson on racism. you have taken the story out of context. ***in spite of this I ignore notwithstanding if the female replace right into a Samaritan or a Gentile however the element nonetheless stands...

Yes - racism is a sin - because you are judging people because of their color and only God can judge!@~

I would have to say no, I think racism is more like "survival" and more evolution like, since 90% of inter-racial crime is blk on white, whites would be dead if they were not racist.

I don't believe in the bible, ergo I don't believe in "sins" but personally, I think it's wrong NOT to be proud of your race.
