Does the Bible Contain Racist Stories?

  • by Gary Petty
Hate speech—it can incite racism, prejudices and even violence. But is it hate speech to disagree with others in the public arena on important moral issues?

Christian Race Relations

  • by Ralph Levy
God says the Church is neither Jew nor Greek, and by extension it is not black, yellow or white either. We have access to His Spirit to bridge the gaps to become true brothers.

Restoration

  • by Darris McNeely
Racism is an abhorrent evil that plagues the earth, but it will not be erased by conferences that continue to foster suspicion and mistrust. Nor will the legacy of slavery be salved by payments of money to any group historically exploited by another.
