Anyone know why it's called Christian "Identity?"

Okay, great, thank you. Do you happen to have source?

Ana Bochicchio's article titled "Justification by Race: Wesley Swift’s White Supremacy and Anti-Semitic Theological Views in His Christian Identity Sermons" published on October 5, 2021, explores Minister Wesley Albert Swift's discourses within the Christian Identity movement. The article delves into the racial theology of Christian Identity and its socio-historical context during the 1950s and 1960s

The essay "Christian Identity and Religions of America" by Joseph Baker and Brianna McMillan provides insights into Wesley Swift's role in the Christian Identity movement. It discusses Swift's theological contributions, including his emphasis on racial superiority and anti-Semitic views within the movement. The essay highlights Swift's foundational role in shaping Christian Identity post-World War II.

--and then, of course, Wiki.-which I don't trust.

Thanks but I was asking specifically about your statement: "The term "Identity" was intended to differentiate this theology from the understanding that Jesus was Jewish." Can you tell me where this comes from? From you or from another source? Can you be more specific, like which article and which page number.

Just gave you the source.

The Christian Identity movement, characterized by beliefs in white supremacy and anti-Semitism, traces its roots back to British-Israelism. This movement sought to establish white Anglo-Saxons as the true chosen people of God, with the belief that the white inhabitants of the British Isles are the actual tribes of Israel. The formal articulation of these beliefs occurred in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, with the establishment of the British-Israel-World Federation in 1919

One of the key figures credited with coining the term "Christian Identity" and elaborating on racial and political theology was Wesley Swift, a Methodist minister who founded the Church of Jesus Christ—Christian. Swift's teachings rooted anti-Semitism in biblical justifications and promoted the idea that Jews were the literal spawn of Satan and Eve from the Garden of Eden

The Christian Identity movement emerged in the United States in the 1920s and 1930s as an offshoot of British Israelism. It advocates a racial interpretation of Christianity, asserting that European peoples are the descendants of ancient Israelites and God's chosen people. This movement is characterized by beliefs in racial segregation, opposition to interracial marriage, anti-Semitic views, and white supremacist ideologies

Overall, Christian Identity is a controversial and extremist movement that promotes divisive and discriminatory beliefs based on racial interpretations of Christianity. It has been widely criticized for its racist, anti-Semitic, and white supremacist ideologies.

Hope this answer your question.

No you didn't. That's okay.

Ya know copy and pasting without citing your source is plagiarism.

I have seen some lazy Westerners-and from experience I have learned that even if I give links, it is rejected.

So you prefer to plagiarize than be dismissed.

Sorry that is no excuse, although I admit that some people in the west believe Breitbart News is a credible news source.

I am not interested in politics-I know you are.

they sound like Zionists to me,

"Christian Identity (also known as Identity Christianity) is an interpretation of Christianity which advocates the belief that only Celtic and Germanic peoples, such as the Anglo-Saxon, Nordic nations, or people of the Aryan race and people of kindred blood, are the descendants of the ancient Israelites and are therefore God's 'chosen people.' " https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christian_Identity

Just to be clear I don't have anything to do with this group. I'm just curious about the origin of the name. Why would white supremacists choose this name? What does it have to do with their philosophy?

I don't think that word means what you think it means.

There's this thing called a dictionary....there are many online. You might want to use it occasionally for these big words okay?

There also Christian Zionists who say the same thing, like saying Jerusalem belongs to the Jews and the Jews only

I know what this group's about, but I've never understood what the "Indentity" part was supposed to mean. I've searched this but can't seem to find a good answer. Anyone know what it means?
