Since God is NOT partial, we are not to be partial. Acts 10:34 At this Peter opened his mouth and said: “For a certainty I perceive that God is not partial, 35 but in every nation the man that fears him and works righteousness is acceptable to him. 36 He sent out the word to the sons of Israel to declare to them the good news of peace through Jesus Christ: this One is Lord of all [others].
Mark 12:31 The second is this, ‘You must love your neighbor as yourself.’ There is no other commandment greater than these.” (How could you justify being a racist in the face of these words?)
Since God sees us all as one family, the human race, we know that when the word race is used in the Hebrew Scriptures it is NOT talking about color, but nations or tribes.
Also Races and languages. What the Bible says about races and languages of mankind is also true. All peoples, regardless of stature, culture, color, or language, are members of one human family. The threefold division of the human family into the Japhetic, Hamitic, and Semitic races, all descending from Adam through Noah, cannot be successfully disputed. (Ge 9:18, 19; Ac 17:26) Says Sir Henry Rawlinson: “If we were to be guided by the mere intersection of linguistic paths, and independently of all reference to the Scriptural record, we should still be led to fix on the plains of Shinar, as the focus from which the various lines had radiated.”—The Historical Evidences of the Truth of the Scripture Records, by G. Rawlinson, 1862, p. 287; Ge 11:2-9.

Why would it be? Not a whole lot different from homophobia and apparently that's not a sin. If Father Abel wants the word of God he will have to speak to him directly and stop reading the fiction in the bible.

Nope - are not able to consider of any - correctly the ancient Hebrews had been a horny distinguished bunch - and different folks of alternative tribes and religions did not price. There's honestly a factor within the bible which says that you are no longer intended to devour an animal that died on its own - you have got to kill it. This is a nutritional legislation to preserve you from consuming animals which died mysteriously of a few ailment. Not unhealthy recommendation. And the bible is going on to mention that you simply cannot promote this lifeless animal (which died of ailment) to a further Jew - BUT you'll be able to promote it to a non-Jew. I consistently adored that one.

You are joking, right???
Sometime after the death of Moses' wife, Zipporah, Moses married another woman from Cush, or Ethiopia. In other words, she was a black woman. Those closest to Moses, his sister Miriam and his brother Aaron, didn't like the union and used the event to incite a rebellion against him. The Bible says, "And Miriam and Aaron spoke against Moses because of the Cushite woman whom he had married; for he had married a woman of Cush. And they said, 'Hath the Lord indeed spoken only by Moses? Hath he not spoken also by us?' And the Lord heard it" (Num. 12:1,2).
Later the Lord called Miriam, the instigator of the insurgence, on the carpet in a way that was remarkably appropriate to her racism. According to Numbers 12:4-10, God suddenly summoned Moses, Aaron and Miriam to the tabernacle. The Lord then came down "in the pillar of the cloud, and stood in the door of the tabernacle," calling Aaron and Miriam forward, strongly chiding them for starting an uprising against Moses. Then the Bible says, "And the cloud departed from off the tabernacle; and, behold, Miriam became leprous, white as snow."

Racism is a fairly new social problem. back in the times of the Bible man did not see people in the bases of color. They only cared about your social status and where you came from.

Racism is obviously encouraged in the Old Testament, as evidenced by all of the god-sanctioned genocide.

You're talking about the people who kept slaves (endorsed by their god) and slaughtered whole nations of "heretics" (commanded by their god). They also thought of themselves as the people set above all others (chosen by their god).
This is the definition of racism.

How can you say you love God whom you have never seen but a person of another color whom you see daily, you hate?
Racism is sin.

Love they neighbor, the golden rule perhaps ? Perhaps nothing that directly addresses racism expressly, but I would think "Love thy neighbor as thyself" would prohibit racism as would the golden rule.
Also, since racism often manifests itself in lynchings, telling vicious lies about someone because they belong to a race you don't like etc. that in itself would be forbidden by the bible.
Ya' know, the commandents that say "Thou shalt not kill" and "Thou shalt not steal", don't have a little asterick next to them that says *this commandment does not apply to all persons, certain restrictions apply" etc.

How can you say that you hate your brother who you have seen and love God who you haven't seen? Racism is a sin.
