Racism and the Christian Identity Movement

 

 

 

The Christian Identity Movement is closely intertwined with British-Israelism (Anglo-Israelism), Neo Nazism, and the Klu Klux Klan. They believe that the “’lost tribes of Israel’ are the Teutonic peoples that include white citizens of Germany, England, and Scandinavia…and that all nonwhite races are not only inferior but are inherently evil.” (H. Wayne House; “Charts of Cults, Sects, and Religious Movements,” 45)

 

Although they claim to believe in the Bible and many of its basic doctrines, the “race issue is truly the tie that binds.” “The races represent different and separate strains of evolutionary development.” (House)

 

For example, “Adam is the father of the white race only,” and that “the Jew is the adversary of our race and God,” (This is Aryan Nations). Well, from where did the Jews come? From Satan’s intercourse with Eve! Consequently:

 

·       We believe a racial nation has the right and the obligation to preserve itself and its members. (This is Aryan Nations)

 

Although they do not believe that all whites will be saved, they believe that only whites can be saved.

 

Can such racists be saved? God alone knows the heart. However, if such “Christians” were in my church, I would confront them for perverting the Scriptures as they do to derive their racist beliefs. Eventually, if they didn’t repent, they would be excommunicated.

You probably find little wrong with what I am saying. However, there is little difference between the Christian Identity Movement and the Critical Race Theorists (CRTs) who believe in the moral superiority of the “oppressed,” the blacks, and the inherent guilt of the white “oppressors.” Accordingly, the “oppressed” cannot be guilty of racism. Consequently, there are two different standards for the two groups:

 

·       If black people are equal in intelligence to other races yet physically superior it would stand to reason that we are superior overall. https://www.africanamerica.org/topic/black-people-are-superior

 

Wikipedia lists several groups dedicated to black supremacy:

 

• The Israelite Church of God in Jesus Christ (ICGJC), which is headquartered in New York City, was described in 2008 by the SPLC as an American "black supremacist sect" and part of the growing "black supremacist wing of the Hebrew Israelite movement".

• The Israelite School of Universal Practical Knowledge (ISUPK), based in the Upper Darby Township of Philadelphia.

• The Nation of Islam (NOI) is a religious organization founded by Wallace Fard Muhammad in the United States in 1930. They have been described by the SPLC as having "a theology of innate black superiority over whites".

• The Nation of Yahweh is a religious group based in the United States described as black supremacist by the SPLC. It is an offshoot of the Black Hebrew Israelite line of thought. It was founded by American Yahweh ben Yahweh (born Hulon Mitchell Jr.), whose name means "God the Son of God" in Hebrew. The Nation of Yahweh grew rapidly.

• The United Nuwaubian Nation of Moors was founded by the American Dwight York, who has been described by the SPLC as advocating the belief that black people are superior to white people. The SPLC reported that York's teachings included the belief that "whites are 'devils', devoid of both heart and soul, their color the result of leprosy and genetic inferiority". The SPLC described the Nuwaubianism belief system as "mix[ing] black supremacist ideas…

 

However, Wikipedia, as do many others, make excuses for such racist groups as mere reactions to white supremacy. Consequently, they are not really responsible for their racism, and it is to be tolerated.

 

Whatever their genealogy, racism shouldn’t be excused or condoned, especially not in the Church. Double standards create divisions, distrust, and disdain. Above all, it violates God’s Word.

 

According to their own motives, Critical Race Theorists do likewise. They divide to conquer by maintaining a sharp distinction between the “oppressed” (blacks) and the “oppressors” (whites). According to CRT, the blacks are woke (aware), while the “oppressors” are, at best, gladly blind to systemic racism.

 

Equality is therefore replaced by favoritism, and peace by conflict, the struggle for power, in opposition to Jesus’ prayer:

 

·       “that they may all be one, just as you, Father, are in me, and I in you, that they also may be in us, so that the world may believe that you have sent me. The glory that you have given me I have given to them, that they may be one even as we are one, I in them and you in me, that they may become perfectly one, so that the world may know that you sent me and loved them even as you loved me.” (John 17:21-23)
