Is racism a sin?

[JaumeJ]

According to the Master, His teaching and His Example, there are three points of the law hypocrites overlook. They are faith, mercy and justice. I believe i have been blessed to understand these points, mainly by Christ's Example.

No one has ever been taught to hate his enemy much less a sinner, for anyone having broken the least of the laws is guilty of having broken all of the law.

If we wish to have full pardon of our error, we mustt extend mercy to all, even to unrepented sinners. Come the Great Day of our Lord things will have changed, and we will be given judgement. I take this prophecy to mean we will be given judgment and the true and perfect understandign to exact it.

Until that time, we are not reigning, and we cannot and we should never think ourselves as doing so for the Kng is not yet present.

Praise Jesus Christ.........amen.

What is the most suitable definition of racism and how does it manifest in action?

Is it a sin requiring atonement?

All sin requires atonement.

It would be. It would assume God is a respecter of person .

We are informed as a loving commandment to know no man after the flesh. Even though some did know Christ in that way by which we know him no more forever more. The one time demonstration is over.

God is not a man as us.

 

[JaumeJ]

God did not make any race over another, mankind does this type of thing without consulting the Father.

If you are of the unfortunate ilk to bring up the choice of Israel as His people, keep in mind
all races form part of Israel in faith. So don't.

God bless all in Jesus Christ, that is His people,amen

Hi there,
1[SUP]st[/SUP] question - Racism is “prejudice or animosity against people who belong to other races” and “the belief that people of different races have different qualities and abilities, and that some races are inherently superior or inferior.”

2[SUP]nd[/SUP] question - “Every sort of sin and blasphemy will be forgiven men,” said Jesus Christ, “but the blasphemy against the spirit will not be forgiven.”
Repentance will lead to forgiveness through the ransom of Jesus Christ. It is not an unforgivable sin.

Well, there is sincere scientific categorization of races, and there is uninformed prejudice and hatred.

Racism refers to that latter, which is sinful and does not belong on God's earth.

I think that racism is more a matter of ignorance than anything else.

 

[samuel23]

Racism as defined by who? By the liberal folks of our time Jesus would most certainly be a racist and a sexist both.

Yes it is a sin. We are a tell sisters and brothers

Racism I believe is a taught behavior. To teach to hate or to esteem ones self above another is contrary to Jesus's teachings and we can rest assured that our adversary is teaching that lesson.
I find it very hard to believe that it has anything to do with us genetically.
Bad experiences with ones culture or ethnical race does tend to categorise our minds focus into distrusting and disliking the culture or race but we have to set our minds and hearts above that because hatred is like taking poison and waiting for the other person to die.
Let's take a lesson from Jonah who had every human right to hate the people of Nineveh yet with just a few spoken words from the Lord through Jonah caused a city of people to repent.
Yet Jonah refusing to rejoice in the Lord for the victory preferred to wallow in his own bitterness.
Not realising that he had not saved a enemy but gained a city of friends.
