all of us human beings are of the same and are equal on our person as human being.

We will give respect to each other regardless of race and we should not discriminate anybody else in this world.

The best verse I can give you for racism would be Revelation 7:9 It is a picture of heaven " After this I looked and there was a vast multitude from every nation, tribe, people, and language, which no one could number, standing before the throne........" The message is clear. If that's how heaven will be, with all those people in harmony, then that is the way it should be now.

Jesus also taught against prejudice and discrimination with the parable of the good Samaritan. The Jews didn't like Samaritans, and Jesus was teaching them not to feel that way. Luke 10:30-37

Answer 3

Old Testament was allll for it. That is why most of the haters quote from it rather than from the NT. Buddy, ifn you wuzn't a Jew, you wuzn't worth anything! Well unless you were a military ally or capable of crushing the Jews on a bad weekend, like the Egyptians and the Babylonains, before them. Or had hot women, like the Ethiopians. Oh, yes too, the Romans got into Judea and Israel by invitation, since emisaries from the Sanheidran testified before the senate about the common ancestor with the Romans (Adam and Eve). Guess it is ALL about politics, and always has been.

Answer 4

Actually there is allot of shady leanings toward certain creeds and allot more against gender. Generally when someone worships a Deity that has raged before, there is going to be some finger pointing. noting the time and place that it was written then there is no question as to what these things actually are in reference to. However, all of the little signs aside, there really isn't a racist term to determine color. Gender however there are some major discrepancies. But i'm pretty sure that by now i have a couple of foul minded christians that have already given my the thumbs down...

Bah!!!! Go read it if you disagree...

Answer 5

Very simple, the bible says "Love thy neighbor as thyself". That doesn't mean the guy who lives next to you and cuts his grass way too much. That means everyone you meet....the lady who cuts in line at the grocery store, the clerk who put the watermelon on top of your bread, etc. Treat everyone as you would want to be treated....have compassion for your fellow man.

If we would all follow that very simple command, racism, prejudice, and discrimination would not be an issue....much like so many other problems in this world.

Answer 6

Dear Friend,

The bible is explicit:

1 Timothy 4:10 (and for this we labor and strive), that we have put our hope in the living God, who is the Savior of all men, and especially of those who believe.

Galatians 3:26-28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor freeman, there is neither male nor female; for you are all one person in union with Christ Jesus.

Romans 16:26
but now revealed and made known through the prophetic writings by the command of the eternal God, so that all nations might believe and obey him—

Romans 15:12
And again, Isaiah says, "The Root of Jesse will spring up, one who will arise to rule over the nations; the Gentiles will hope in him."

The Bible says that we are all one in Christ and also uses the phrase 'all nations' time and time again.

He is the God of all creation, not just of one nation.

God Bless

Answer 7

It depends on how you interpret the book. The Bible is full of intolerant characters, many of whom credit God as the author of their deeds. But where the Bible issues commands and explains moral philosophies, it consistently denounces racism and prejudice.

Answer 8

At this Peter opened his mouth and said: “For a certainty I perceive that God is not partial,  but in every nation the man that fears him and works righteousness is acceptable to him. Acts 10:34, 35

Answer 9

Do I perceive evolution here?? Nobody quotes the old testament. God gives precise instructions how to deal with the men women and children of tribes that do not agree with Joshua. kill everybody including the animals. I find it interesting that god has this dual personality. He is ruthless blood thirsty and incapable of forgiveness his son on the other hand is all touchy feely lovey dovey. For the enemies of Christianity we bring out the old man of fire and brimstone and eternal hell. The old testament is full of genocides infanticides, rape, filicides you name it.

Answer 10

...show mercy to others, be kind, humble, gentle and patient.. Col 3:12-17

...the true children of God are those who let God's Spirit lead them.. Romans 8:14

...I give you a new commandment: Love each other, as I have loved you.. John 13:34-35

Be blessed.
