A Futile Fallacy Called R-A-C-I-S-M
According to the dictionary a fallacy is a mistaken belief, especially one based on an unsound argument. Racism is a perfect example of just such a mistaken and misguided belief. What could possibly be more unsound, or misinformed than judging the worth of a person based solely on the color of their skin?
It seems to me that doing so is, at best, a fruitless pastime constructed on a foundation of deceptive premises employed to disguise the lies. In fact, our adversary, the devil, just happens to be the father of lies and has promoted this doozy for centuries. The only thing he does is change the colors from time to time! But I will show you that racism, the adversary’s futile fallacy, is an outright falsehood. What did you expect from the father of lies?
These days we are awash in his cleverly disguised deceptions. We’ve even seen a color flip as of late signaling the onset of a new slave caste. There is a trainload of race related senselessness reported by the prince of propaganda everyday! Always attributable in one useless way or another to….you guessed it….the feigned, pretended, artificial, make believe sham regarding derma tint. At the moment, lies about “whitey” seem to be in vogue.
As a serious biblical student for nearly fifty years, I have been inspired to dig a little deeper at the well of God’s Word concerning racism and take a closer look at the only opinion that matters...God’s! Certainly something as pervasive, prevalent and ubiquitous as skin hue must be handled in a multiplicity of scriptures.
A simple word search on the word “race” quickly produced a mere four verses where the word is even used! Not a whole lot to go on but a start nonetheless. I quickly learned that not a single scripture reference had anything to do with so-called racial concerns. In fact they all deal, oddly enough, with running a race!
Psalms 19:5 Which [is] as a bridegroom coming out of his chamber, and rejoiceth as a strong man to run a race.
Ecclesiastes 9:11 I returned, and saw under the sun, that the race [is] not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, neither yet bread to the wise, nor yet riches to men of understanding, nor yet favour to men of skill; but time and chance happeneth to them all.
I Corinthians 9:24 Know ye not that they which run in a race run all, but one receiveth the prize? So run, that ye may obtain.
Hebrews 12:1 Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset [us], and let us run with patience the race that is set before us,
It was right about at this point that I began to wonder, how in the world am I going to write about racism in the Bible if God didn’t deem it important enough to even mention it? The aggregate of verses in the entire Word of God don’t even mention skin color!
This conundrum automatically eliminates the notion of black power, white supremacy, systemic racism, racial justice, racial diversity, racial inclusion, racial bias, racial discrimination or any other moniker that the father of lies often uses to foment race hate and thus stir the pot by keeping people fighting over something as stupid as what color they are!
It would seem to me that if God were the least bit concerned with the kind of racism that certain militant movements have thrust upon us lately, He would at least mention it in the Bible, but He does not!
Does that make God a racist? Does skin color really not matter? Do dark colored people’s lives matter? Do light colored people’s lives matter? Do any color of people’s lives matter? Does any of this matter? I sincerely desired an answer and I found it.
God states His position on the matter unequivocally. This truth has been the same for thousands of years and will remain so until all of God’s prophecies have been fulfilled.
God made ALL nations of men in the entire human race of ONE BLOOD and of course every drop of that blood is the same color...
So...that which ignorant people continually refer to as racism doesn’t even exist! There’s no such thing as systemic racism. It is a lie promoted by certain Marxist groups whose only purpose is to inflame and incite people in hopes of beginning a civil war! It amounts to nothing more than a futile fallacy, a biological bum steer and a BIBLICAL IMPOSSIBILITY!
So how does one account for all the various races of people that exist on the planet today? There’s no denying that people come in various skin hues, body shapes and sizes, hair textures, eye colors, as well as lip, mouth and nose variations just to name a few. Anthropologists would explain this by way of the evolutionary process known as survival of the fittest, but that does nothing to explain racism. No matter what various indigenous peoples may look like on the outside, God declared that they are all of the same blood!
So, there is NO such thing as RACISM! It is a false mental construct in people’s minds that causes massive delusional deception, a futile fallacy, that twists God’s truth in order to allow people of one color to victimize people of another. It is a complete, utter and total bastardization of the simplicity and the beauty that God intended when He created man! It is promoted cleverly and callously from one generation to the next by the father of all lies…the DEVIL!
What we see being palmed off today by Black Lives Matter, Critical Race Theory and a fistful of others promoting race baited lies, is so far removed from God’s original intent that it would make a good Twilight Zone episode. There is a name for it however, but it’s not racism, it is HATE. And hate is the polar opposite of the true God who is LOVE (I John 4:8).
Jesus Christ very clearly told us what to do in Matthew 22:37-39
:37 Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.
:38 This is the first and great commandment.
:39 And the second [is] like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
Love is the antidote for hate........NOT a different skin color!! Hating your neighbor because his skin tone is lighter, or darker, or the same as your own, is not only ridiculous and counterproductive, it is also sinful and wicked. All those who do it will reap their just reward because we will all reap what we have sown!
Everyone sowing the devilish seed of hate will ultimately, at some point along the crooked path of their sordid lives, reap the bitter harvest of what they have sown. No one gets left out, and no one will be able to talk their way out of the consequences because it is a law...God’s law.
