Critical Race Theory, Part 2

by Nicholas A. Catania

July 2021

Go to the previous issue.

As Christians, we should be the first to denounce ethnic superiority. We should be abundantly clear: racism and ethnocentrism are real and historical sins. These iniquities have caused great pain and suffering. Racism is a real sin that should be repudiated by all Christians. Just because critical race theorists have one thing right in that sinful ethnic superiority or racism has affected our society, this does not justify everything they teach. In fact, there are major points of CRT that contradicts biblical teaching.

Critical Race Theroy is built on the premise of the word race.

Webster defines race as, "any one of the groups that humans are often divided into based on physical traits regarded as common among people of shared ancestry."

In other words, race is a division of human beings along the lines of common traits related to ancestry. Race is a social construct, not a scientific or biblical category. In fact, race as a term is steeped in evolutionary propaganda as people have historically attempted to elevate some groups of people with common traits (races) as better, smarter, or more capable than others. But there's no scientific foundation for race across the globe, 99.9% of human DNA is the same. There's little measurable genetic difference between the so-called races of blacks, whites, or Hispanics.

Even the mighty evolutionist Bill Nye agreed. "We're all the same … from a scientific standpoint there's no such thing as race." Nye may be wrong about many things, but he is right about race. Scientifically, races don't exist.

More importantly, the Bible does not acknowledge race as a category. Instead, we all descended from our first parents, Adam and Eve.

Acts 17:26 And hath made of one blood all nations of men for to dwell on all the face of the earth, and hath determined the times before appointed, and the bounds of their habitation;

Paul restated what God had previously stated in Genesis 1:27, "So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them."

God did not create separate Indians, Irish, Italians, or Egyptians. Instead, God made two people, and from those two people, every other human being descended. Every person is united by our same first parents, and we are members of one race, the human race.

The Bible does distinguish between people, groups, or nations. Ever since the Tower of Babel, (Genesis 11:1-8) different groups of people have been scattered across the globe.

The biblical categories of people groups or ethnos (Greek: εΦνος) are acknowledged throughout the Old and New Testaments.

At some point, members of these nations can be united through a common faith in Christ.

Revelation 7:9 After this I beheld, and, lo, a great multitude, which no man could number, of all nations, and kindreds, and people, and tongues, stood before the throne, and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, and palms in their hands;

So, the Bible distinguishes between ethnic groups of people, but not in modern racial categories of Black, Asian, White, etc. This is a major complication for critical race theorists, especially those who want to frame this as a biblical issue. The entire philosophy is built on a social construction with no foundation in the Bible or genetics. The concept of race corrupts biblical categories with sometimes deadly results. The modern understanding of "race" often separates people groups pitting so-called races against each other, as was seen in the Black Lives Matter-inspired riots of 2020 when at least 25 people died. Racial animosity is built upon a modern, evolution-inspired conception of race. But in the Bible and in genetics, races don't actually exist.

Galatians 3:26-29 26For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus. 27For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ. 28There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus. 29And if ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise.

All who accept Christ are the children of God.

Ever since Genesis 3:15 the father has waited to reconcile all people back to himself.

Genesis 3:15 And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel.

There is only one seed that comes from the Father and that is Christ. Jesus Christ came and suffered so mankind could be reconciled back to the father. There is no division in Christ no black, white, hispanic, or Asian. These are doctrines of man encouraged by the god of this world intended to bring division and discord to mankind.

1 Corinthians 1:11-13 11For it hath been declared unto me of you, my brethren, by them which are of the house of Chloe, that there are contentions among you. 12Now this I say, that every one of you saith, I am of Paul; and I of Apollos; and I of Cephas; and I of Christ. 13Is Christ divided? was Paul crucified for you? or were ye baptized in the name of Paul?

All people, regardless of skin color, were made to reflect the Creator's image. Through Christ, the former ethnic barriers are torn down.

CRT divides into colors and pits people against one another because of the color of their skin. CRT discriminates and separates. It is an enemy of the gospel of Jesus Christ, and many in the church are embracing this devilish gospel.

Galatians 1:6-16 6I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel: 7Which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ. 8But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed. 9As we said before, so say I now again, If any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed.

So don't be so quick to judge my words against a false gospel. God said let them be accursed.

10For do I now persuade men, or God? or do I seek to please men? for if I yet pleased men, I should not be the servant of Christ. 11But I certify you, brethren, that the gospel which was preached of me is not after man. 12For I neither received it of man, neither was I taught it, but by the revelation of Jesus Christ. 13For ye have heard of my conversation in time past in the Jews' religion, how that beyond measure I persecuted the church of God, and wasted it: 14And profited in the Jews' religion above many my equals in mine own nation, being more exceedingly zealous of the traditions of my fathers. 15But when it pleased God, who separated me from my mother's womb, and called me by his grace, 16To reveal his Son in me, that I might preach him among the heathen; immediately I conferred not with flesh and blood:

Paul understood what it meant to hate and criticize. He led the protest against the white gentiles of his day. He even had them killed and if you were a Jew and believed on this Jesus, he called them traitors and murdered them.

Romans 12:5 So we, being many, are one body in Christ, and every one members one of another.

The Bible teaches we are ONE body, not one white body, or one black body. And these should hate and blame one another and make the white man pay for his so called privilege.

I've worked for myself 18 hours a day for years and there were times I didn't bring home $25. I have worked in my profession for over 50 years. I quit school to open a business and worked hard and faithfully to be successful. That's not privilege that's God, a vision, tithing, and hard work. It's called the American dream. Am I supposed to be ashamed and embarrassed for that? Should I apologize for believing God and being a good steward and for practicing the principles of God's word regarding prosperity?

CRT wants to infiltrate our schools and teach our children that America is a filthy racist country and its prejudice is embedded in our laws and government.

A recent poll by the advocacy group Parents Defending Education claimed some schools were teaching that, "white people are inherently privileged, while black and other people of color are inherently oppressed and victimized"; that "achieving racial justice and equality between racial groups requires discriminating against people based on their whiteness"; and that "the United States was founded on racism."

A popular Hollywood actor Seth Rogan was overtly ethnocentric in a recent statement. According to NotTheBee.com, (Rogan) told Entertainment Weekly he'll be doing his part to end racism by actively discriminating against white people. And that's not an exaggeration.

By the way, this genius is white, but, he's woke you know and doesn't want to be canceled, so he acquiesces to CRT.

Ezekiel 18:19-20 20The soul that sinneth, it shall die. The son shall not bear the iniquity of the father, neither shall the father bear the iniquity of the son: the righteousness of the righteous shall be upon him, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon him.

No one is responsible for their color or the sins of their fathers according to the scriptures. White privilege is a deliberate fabricated term designed to cloak the Marxism it represents. Praise God for His wonderful Word that clarifies man's erroneous attempts to play God.
