00:00:00.000 Many Christians call racism a sin, but the Bible never does.
00:00:04.060 Partiality can be a sin.
00:00:05.480 Hatred can be a sin.
00:00:06.840 But even then, the Bible commands partiality towards, say, your wife and children.
00:00:10.440 Romans 9 says that the Apostle Paul prefers his people according to the flesh.
00:00:15.480 What's sinful is hatred without cause, or judgment without cause, or favoritism without cause.
00:00:21.180 But noticing clear statistical patterns among a particular group of people
00:00:24.840 and adjusting your behavior or your preferences or your proximity to those people is not sinful.
00:00:30.000 and preferring your own people is also not sinful. You see, God gave us eyes and visual,
00:00:35.980 genetic, cultural, and behavioral familiarity all contribute to social trust and harmony and
00:00:41.740 survival. In other words, you can love people without suspending ordinary social and biological
00:00:47.600 prudence. Now, in our multicultural world that flattens basically every distinction and treats
00:00:53.540 our differences as nothing more than melanin levels, we forget that scripture teaches that
00:00:58.820 A nation is the largest form of a genetic family.
00:01:02.920 I mean, think of the words natal or native or nature or nation.
00:01:08.300 They all run back to the Latin natus, which is the word for birth or origin or descent.
00:01:13.820 So a nation is not a hotel with a flag.
00:01:17.940 It's a large genetic family with shared ancestry and language.
00:01:22.260 So what people call racism is often just familyism.
00:01:27.520 It's family preference, which preference, by the way,
00:01:31.100 even the definition is to place another group in a less preferred position.
00:01:35.900 And that's not racist.
00:01:37.180 Again, this tactic is often used,
00:01:39.260 especially against white people to make their natural preferences feel like sin.
00:01:44.540 But it's not.
00:01:45.420 So what's the lesson here? 0.93
00:01:46.420 Well, if Christians will not define sin, liberals will and they'll pervert it.
00:01:51.240 And they already have. 0.87
00:01:52.220 So stop baptizing their vocabulary.
00:01:54.740 Love all people, but especially your people.
00:01:57.060 And if someone calls you racist, just ignore them.
