Nothing. It teaches that anyone who is not Jewish (the gentiles) etc. are inferior. The Jews alone are Gods chosen people!

The bible explicitly advocates sexual, racial, and cultural prejudice and suggests genocidal violence as the answer.

Good examples of this are Psalm 137 8-9
" 8 O Daughter of Babylon, doomed to destruction,
happy is he who repays you
for what you have done to us-

9 he who seizes your infants
and dashes them against the rocks."

This prejudice can also be seen in the war against the Amalekites:

"14 Then the Lord said to Moses, “Write this as a memorial in a book and recite it in the ears of Joshua, that I will utterly blot out the memory of Amalek from under heaven.” 15 And Moses built an altar and called the name of it, The Lord is my banner, 16 saying, “A hand upon the of the Lord! The Lord will have war with Amalek from generation to generation." (Exodus 17)

These quotes and many others are explicit proof that the christian Bible is life-destroying gibberish and that it is in the best interests of all civilized peoples to reject all religion.

There are many examples in the bible on how God deals with prejudice, read the story of Jonah and you will find that God rebukes Jonah because of his hatred for the Ninivittes, Jesus rebukes the Pharisees for their hatred toward the woman who had committed adultry in the Gospels, in the book of Acts check out Chapters 1 and 2 for more of this same type of stories. Good luck and God Bless

Luke 14:12-14 Then Jesus said to his host. "When you give a luncheon or dinner, do not invite your friends, your brothers or relatives, or your rich neighbours; if you do, they may invite you back and so you will be repaid. But when you give a banquet, invite the poor, the crippled, the lame, the blind, and you will be blessed. Although they cannot repay you, you will be repaid at the resurrection of the righteous."

Hi Jim, I agree with Shadowdan, we are to "Love our neighbors". We are also told to "Do unto others as we would have others do unto us". This is to me one of the greatest things to say. Most people would never want anyone to be prejudicial to them yet a number of these people are prejudicial to others of another race, age, sex, or another group of people like the disabled. GOD certainly expects us, as CHRISTIANS, to keep from doing so. We need to read, study, and obey HIS WORD each and every day of our lives. Praying for the strength that HE gives and the faith of Job. Have a great day today and a wonderful tomorrow.

We should take Jesus example, - He loved everyone, even the worst of sinners. He took time and sat with the woman at the well, and challenged her kindly about her lifestyle. She had been a prostitute. He went home and had tea with Zaccheus, the tax collector who had done lots of people out of money. Jesus died for the whole of mankind, and loved us all, enough to die for us!

There is no distinction to be made when we are all one in Christ.
