WHO ARE THE "REAL HEBREWS"?

WHO ARE THE "REAL HEBREWS"?:

• And, Why Does It Really Matter?

Let's START at the END from the BEGINNING, and give you a CLEAR PICTURE of the Kingdom of God "from the onset" in this most important blog!

The Bible is clear that God is "no respecter of persons", and that salvation has never been about any particular "race"; but always about grace and faith, which GOD PROVIDES to every one that believes, receives and rest upon the "finished work" of Christ, which was accomplished at Calvary for our sake.

"A person is not a Jew who is one only outwardly, nor is circumcision merely outward and physical. No, a person is a Jew who is one inwardly; and circumcision is circumcision of the heart, by the Spirit, not by the written code. Such a person's praise is not from other people, but from God." ‭‭(Romans‬ ‭2:28-29‬ ‭NIV‬‬)

Question: "Is Christianity a white man's religion?"

Answer: In the past 2,000 years, the vast majority of Christians have been white/European. While Christianity had its beginnings in the Middle East, it spread rapidly to Europe and parts of Asia where Caucasians were the predominant race. The history of Christianity is filled with expansions, but mostly throughout Europe and Asia, then on to the West in the 15th century. Christianity has not had nearly the same success spreading among Middle Easterners, Africans, and Asians, and this has led many to declare that Christianity is a religion for white people.

Christianity was never intended for white people only. The first Christians were all Semitic in ethnicity and likely had light- to dark-brown skin. Christianity having been predominantly a white religion in past centuries has nothing to do with the message of Christianity.

Rather, it is due to the failure of Christians to take the Gospel of Jesus Christ to the ends of the world (Matthew 28:19-20; Acts 1:8). The apostle John declared that Jesus Christ is the propitiation for the sins of the entire world [all races and nationalities] (see 1 John 2:2).

Spiritually, men of all races are "one" due to the presence of a common sickness—sin. Sin entered the human race at the Fall, and because of Adam and Eve's disobedience, sin has been an inheritance for all other human descendants. Romans 5:12 tells us that, through Adam, sin entered the world and so death was passed on to all men because all have sinned.

But just as sin entered the human race by one man, so does redemption come by one Man, Jesus Christ. Forgiveness of sin, the essence of Christianity, is offered to all races, colors, creeds, and genders, to all "those who receive God's abundant provision of grace and of the gift of righteousness" through Him (Romans 5:18).

In giving His life as a substitute for sin, Jesus Christ purchased for God with His blood "men from every tribe and tongue and people and nation" (Revelation 5:9). No, Christianity is not a white man's religion. Christianity is not a black, brown, red, or yellow religion either. The truth of the Christian faith is universally applicable to all people.

Question: "What does the Bible say about racism, prejudice, and discrimination?"

Answer: The first thing to understand in this discussion is that there is only one race—the human race. Caucasians, Africans, Asians, Indians, Arabs, and Jews are not different races. Rather, they are different ethnicities of the human race. All human beings have the same physical characteristics (with minor variations, of course). More importantly, all human beings are equally created in the image and likeness of God (Genesis 1:26-27). God loved the world so much that He sent Jesus to lay down His life for us (John 3:16). The "world" obviously includes all ethnic groups.

God does not show partiality or favoritism (Deuteronomy 10:17; Acts 10:34; Romans 2:11; Ephesians 6:9), and neither should we. James 2:4 describes those who discriminate as "judges with evil thoughts." Instead, we are to love our neighbors as ourselves (James 2:8). In the Old Testament, God divided humanity into two "racial" groups: Jews and Gentiles. God's intent was for the Jews to be a kingdom of priests, ministering to the Gentile nations. Instead, for the most part, the Jews became proud of their status and despised the Gentiles. Jesus Christ put an end to this, destroying the dividing wall of hostility (Ephesians 2:14). All forms of racism, prejudice, and discrimination are affronts to the work of Christ on the cross.

Jesus commands us to love one another as He loves us (John 13:34). If God is impartial and loves us with impartiality, then we need to love others with that same high standard. Jesus teaches in Matthew 25 that whatever we do to the least of His brothers, we do to Him. If we treat a person with contempt, we are mistreating a person created in God's image; we are hurting somebody whom God loves and for whom Jesus died.

Racism, in varying forms and to various degrees, has been a plague on humanity for thousands of years. Brothers and sisters of all ethnicities, this should not be. Victims of racism, prejudice, and discrimination need to forgive. Ephesians 4:32 declares, "Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you." Racists may not deserve your forgiveness, but we deserved God's forgiveness far less. Those who practice racism, prejudice, and discrimination need to repent. "Present yourselves to God as being alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness to God" (Romans 6:13). May Galatians 3:28 be completely realized, "There is neither Jew nor Greek, slave nor free, male nor female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus."

THE BIG QUESTIONS...

1. If "white people" don't have anything to "hide", why have they repeatedly "revised history", "stolen identity and accomplishments as their own", and "erased historically significant facts about black people"?
2. If Christianity is NOT a "white man's religion", why has the "Christian church" historically been silent and blatantly accepted the mistreatment and slavery of black people?
3. Why is "color" suppressed in the scriptures, and all the historical figures and characters known as "white"?

WHAT IS A "TRUE JEW"?

There is a growing fascination with "identity" right now, and Satan's primary battlefront in the heart's of humanity is concerning their cultural and their ethnic roots. And, because of social classism and the sorted confusion that is so glaringly obvious in the life experience and family history of every human being; but especially amongst people of color in the world's system!

"SATAN IS A LIAR!" (Blog Link)

http://www.askpastorwalter.com/2012/02/satan-is-liar.html?m=1

Even the "spiritual identity" of Christians in our ranging cultural and ethnic diversity, has been challenged, because of the known blunders and missteps that have been perpetrated "between us" and "against others": Christians against Jews; Muslims against Christians; Whites against Blacks; Blacks against Whites; Hispanics against Blacks; Blacks against Hispanics; Dark-skinned Blacks against Light-skinned Blacks; and -- Men against Women...

There is an ENDLESS demonically-contrived fueled division and opposition that is energized by our "differences", and the END GOAL for Christians should NOT be "co-existence, with hostility, indifference and intolerance"; but, "cooperation and forbearance, in the midst of our celebrated diversity and kingdom community".

Romans 8:28-29

'For he is not a Jew who is one outwardly, nor is circumcision that which is outward in the flesh. But he is a Jew who is one inwardly; and circumcision is that which is of the heart, by the Spirit, not by the letter; and his praise is not from men, but from God.

CIRCUMCISION OF "THE HEART"..

Deuteronomy 30:6

"Moreover the LORD your God will circumcise your heart and the heart of your descendants, to love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul, so that you may live."

Jeremiah 4:4

"Circumcise yourselves to the LORD And remove the foreskins of your heart, Men of Judah and inhabitants of Jerusalem, Or else My wrath will go forth like fire And burn with none to quench it, Because of the evil of your deeds."

Jeremiah 9:25

"Behold, the days are coming," declares the LORD, "that I will punish all who are circumcised and yet uncircumcised--

John 5:44

"How can you believe if you accept glory from one another, yet do not seek the glory that comes from the only God?"

John 12:43

"For they loved praise from men more than praise from God."

Romans 3:1

"What, then, is the advantage of being a Jew? Or what is the value of circumcision?"

Romans 7:6

"But now, having died to what bound us, we have been released from the Law, so that we serve in the new way of the Spirit, and not in the old way of the written code."

1 Corinthians 4:5

"Therefore judge nothing before the proper time; wait until the Lord comes. He will bring to light what is hidden in darkness and will expose the motives of men's hearts. At that time each will receive his praise from God."

1 Corinthians 7:19

"Circumcision is nothing and uncircumcision is nothing. Keeping God's commandments is what matters."

POLITICAL SIDES, AND PARTISAN IGNORANCE

We ALL recognize how divisive and demoralizing the political landscape has been during this last presidential cycle. But, what's even more pronounced is the SPIRITUAL TRANSITION that is upon this nation, which has become about "black and white issues" because the the "failed leadership" and globalist agenda of the POTUS; and further exacerbated by the unrest and untreated wounds of our society and culture.

Interestingly enough, among all the sects and positions, the "liberal progressive agenda" is NOW espousing most of the hateful rhetoric and misdirected messaging of #BlackLivesMatter, while also endorsing the scathing rebuke of "white America"; but seemingly to ONLY recruit disgruntled and immature disciples (historically speaking) for its NEXT "political escapade" and party reformation to reconstruct their suffering platform and damaged public persona. The corruption and collusion is at an all time high, but what's strange to me is..."How the liberal progressives are using "people of color" to champion their political agenda, through the blind loyalty to “party”; and the unhealthy allegiance to a plantation mentality that has held communities captive!

"STUDY" IS FUNDAMENTAL TO "FREEDOM"..

IF you COMPLETELY "read" THE BIBLE and "study to show yourself approved unto God" -- like in reference to the subject of being a "true Jew", you can't help but SEE the glorious consummation and restitution of all things in the coming (both in present and future fulfillment) Kingdom of God, when all people groups of the world will come to both glorify and worship The Lamb of God, who takes away the sins of the world. That STUDY means we experience the FREEDOM, "wherein CHRIST has made us free"!

In heaven, there will be worship from every diverse tongue, every known and unknown tribe, and every single people group on the face of the earth. God does not discriminate amongst people groups, and neither should we. There is no room for racial bigotry or bias, and certainly there is and should be -- no excuse for it; EVER! It is clearly "sin" -- and God hates it; especially when we have respect or favoritism toward people based upon their skin color, their nationality, their language, the way that that they look (lifestyle) or their "outward adornment".

Clearly, a thorough understanding of what the Bible "says", represents God's desire to have ALL people, tongues, nations, and tribes "worship Him", and this is what the Apostle John meant when he said; "Then I saw another angel flying in midair, and he had the eternal gospel to proclaim to those who live on the earth–to every nation, tribe, language and people" (Rev 14:6). And, that is why the gospel is to be brought into all the world (Matt 28:19-20; Acts 1:6) so that "all people" might have the opportunity to become disciples of Christ for His glory; at the kingdom's final ingathering and ultimate finale.

There is but "one race"…the HUMAN RACE, and "all" are descended from Adam. We have the "same parents"; we all have red blood; we're all sinners (Rom 3:10-12); and we've all fallen short of God's glory (Rom 3:23) -- and this free gift of eternal life is afforded to all who believe in Jesus Christ (John 3:16).

DOES "BEING BLACK" MAKE YOU "HEBREW"?

Many people "falsely believe" that God was interested only in the Nation of Israel. But, anyone who's familiar with the Old Testament Law knows that God always "welcomed the aliens" who were NOT descendants of the Tribes of Israel. GOD says that even the chosen people of God were "once strangers" and "sojourners", and that they too were "once foreigners/strangers in the land of Egypt". God considered a non-Israelite as "equal in His eyes" and "no better or no worse" than any of the children of Abraham .

In light of the "known" BIAS, PREJUDICE and RACISM that is historically well documented concerning "black people" and "the church", ALL of the fabrications, misrepresentations and speculations that have further infuriated a growing rage in our generation, while fueling a developing isolation of "black people" towards the "Christian faith" -- or what many people deem to be the "white man's religion".

Even though THE SCRIPTURES and JESUS CHRIST both "has" and "is" THE ANSWER, "Christianity" (generally speaking) and the "complacent Christian church", has grossly abdicated and even neglected the need for addressing the inequality, the inequity and the injustice in society and its "systems"; by being SILENT (sadly) and conspicuously MISSING from the table and discourse — around most issues relating to "race" and "religion" for far too long.

While SOME PEOPLE believe that "modeling unity" (in leadership; in worship; and in community) is the "only answer". Although this is extremely important, it minimizes or diminishes the necessity of consistently and intentionally engaging the cultural landscape, where the "modeling" and "conversations" should actually occur!

The "four walls" of our churches is actually where the dialogue should begin -- not end, and the academic, the economic, the political, the religious, as well as the social landscape and marketplace "is" the vehicle for continuing the conversation. CHRIST can be seen through the demonstration of our Christian character, conduct and conversations (in principle) which sets us apart from the world's way of doing things. And the key to being effective and eternally relevant, is "embodying the message" EVERYWHERE that Christ has given us influence and a voice to reach our generation for HIM!

There are numerous resources that I deem credible and historically reliable, but here are a few that come to mind for your own edification, in light of your pursuit to be in ongoing agreement and in alignment with Christ in your attitude and worldview towards "race"...

"WERE THE JEWS 'BLACK'? (Excerpt from article link below)

**IMPORTANT LINK with RESOURCE LIST: (https://www.quora.com/Were-Jews- black-people)

"Genetics research in Israel has demonstrated that the ancient Hebrews and Israelites had "dark skin", as evidenced by their modern descendants. Introducing the Cohen Modal Haplotype...

Discovered in 1997 by Jewish scientists, this paternal genetic marker (it is found on the Y-chromosome) has a high frequency among the Jewish (Askenazi and Sephardic) priesthood (Cohanim) and is thought to be a signature of ancient Hebrew ancestry. The haplotype (CMH) is indeed part of a haplogroup (Hg J) that originated in Black Arabia or Afrabia ca 30 kya (thousand years ago) and in high frequencies is believed to indicate "Semitism."

While early reports, largely from Ashkenazi (white) Jewish writers, tended to portray this discovery as evidence that Ashkenazi Jews are truly Hebrew with a legitimate claim to the Holy Land, further genetic tests and reports demonstrated just the opposite.

Two data-sets in particular turned this apologetic use of the discovery on its head:

1. The further "discovery" that the "purest" surviving remnant of the Children of Israel identified by CMH tests is the tribe of Black Jews in India, the Bene Israel and the Black Jews of Cochin, who show a genetic affinity not only to Ethiopians and Yemenis, but also to the tribe of Black Jews in South Africa, the Lemba, whose relation to the ancient Hebrews has also been confirmed by the presence of high frequencies of the CMH.
2. The reports confirming that, though the CMH is found in high frequencies among the priestly class of both Ashkenazi and Sephardic Jewry, this class only represents 4-10% of this Jewry. Most Ashkenazi and Sephardic Jews lack this signature and in fact have been shown to be genetically related, not to Semites, but to Gentiles: Kurds, Turks, East Europeans, etc.

Only about 15% of lay Ashkenaz and 12% of lay Sephardim, possess this marker. The presence of this marker in non-priestly segments of the populations may be accounted for by gene flow from the Cohanim or priests.

In comparison with data available from other relevant populations in the region, Jews were found to be more closely related to groups in the north of the Fertile Cresent (Kurds, Turks, and Armenians) than to their Arab neighbors. Genetic proximity of these European/Syrian Jewish populations, including Ashkenazi Jews, to each other and to French, North Italian and Sardinian populations favors the idea of non-Semitic Mediterranean ancestry in the formation of the European/Syrian Jewish groups.

The CMH clad belongs to the J haplogroup. J has two major derivative subclads associated with it: J1 and J2.

• The CMH belongs to JI, which originated in Black Arabia and signals African Semitic ancestry.
• J2, on the other hand, which is found among Ashkenazis at a frequency twice that of JI, has a characteristically non-Semitic European distribution and is believed to have originated from a mutation that occurred in the Aegean area! Because Jewish populations possess approximately twice as much J2 as they do J1, their ancestry more closely matches that of Turkish and Transcaucasian populations." (END OF EXCERPT..)

"Original man complexes" and the search for "cultural and spiritual identity", is becoming more and more prevalent amongst "black people", generally speaking. But, WHY? Our generation is in "crisis mode" at the highest level, and the "identity crises" in our communities is more prevalent than it should be!

WHAT ARE "THE ISSUES"? Spiritual Bondage, Fatherlessness, Gangs, Consumerism, Poverty Mentalities, Entitlement, Entertainment Culture, Ignorance of History, Systemic Racism, Cyclic Poverty and Government Dependence, etc..

HOW HAS "THE CHURCH" CONTRIBUTED TO THE CRISES?

Historically, "Christian doctrine" or the historical expression thereof, has been humanistically and demonically "hijacked" through degrading, deluding and distorting "the truth" about ALL PEOPLE, but more specifically black folks", instead of realizing why such diversity actually exists in light of God's Great Plan for the Ages!

By refusing to address the overt prejudice and the racism that has been both acknowledged and further exacerbated in the Western Church "without apology", it's never really been addressed or "corrected", which forces "hurting people", "thinking people", and "wavering people" in the continuum of their development "in Christ" -- to choose "another way"; and we, in turn, diminish the power of the redemptive and reconciliatory plan and message that we've been called to reflect and represent as "true kingdom citizens" in this dark and dreary world!

By continuing to follow the same script -- while shuffling the same ethnocentric and religious agenda, "white privilege", "white is right" and "white supremacy" has been the society standard heretofore, advancing a lopsided and culturally poisonous attitude of the heart that has infiltrated much of the universal church, and has also subtly subjugated and paralyzed "race relations" and the "repairing the breach" of economic, ethnic and social injustice; which has sadly kept the church "segregated"; even to this very moment! Yet, while differences and disparities "play big" into some of the sluggish orientation we should have towards one another, the influence we allow "culture" or society to have on us further debilitates and stagnates our ability to "relate"; especially when we've NOT renewed our minds according to GOD's WORD!

By foolishly "playing church" for too long, the "blessing and curse" of our emotionalism, blind loyalty and lethargic indifference of too many devoted "black" church members to "dysfunctional black leadership" -- instead of Christ, has further cemented and fortified a cultural, religious and political "identity" that is NOT biblically-centered or fully vested "in Christ"; so many suffer in silence, while the rest of us succumb to the intoxicating powers of the "culture war", which further divides and isolates us from one another; and fuels a greater depth of apathy, indifference and passivity that is "killing" the advancement of the Kingdom "in us" -- but, especially amongst "the unchurched millennials" in our generation!

IN SOCIETY, these are the REALITIES:

• BELIEFS = what we think about what we see and hear
• BEHAVIORS = what we do about what we believe
• DOCTRINE = what we learn through the various information sources and institutions
• CULTURE = how we celebrate and incorporate the ideas of Art, Laws, Traditions, Customs, etc.

IN CHRIST, these are the REALITIES:

• BELIEFS = what God's Word or Promises says is in our best interest that renews the mind in accordance with the truth
• BEHAVIORS = what we do with our renewed minds in every area of life
• DOCTRINE = what the Word of God teaches specifically concerning various areas
• CULTURE = what we establish in representation as a community of believers in Christ

Black Supremacy – "Obama suggests Blacks are the 'Chosen People'?"

As Obama celebrates Passover in the White House, in his famous speech on race relations, "A more Perfect Union," Obama made reference to supremacist black nationalist belief that blacks are the real Jews, the Chosen People. White supremacists, such as the Christian Identity movement have a similar race-based gnostic concept that whites are the biblical "Chosen People" and inherited the Jews' covenant with God. This quote is excerpted from the text of the speech:

In my first book, Dreams From My Father, I described the experience of my first service at Trinity: "People began to shout, to rise from their seats and clap and cry out, a forceful wind carrying the reverend's voice up into the rafters….And in that single note – hope! – I heard something else; at the foot of that cross, inside the thousands of churches across the city, I imagined the stories of ordinary black people merging with the stories of David and Goliath, Moses and Pharaoh, the Christians in the lion's den, Ezekiel's field of dry bones. Those stories – of survival, and freedom, and hope – became our story, my story; the blood that had spilled was our blood, the tears our tears; until this black church, on this bright day, seemed once more a vessel carrying the story of a people into future generations and into a larger world. Our trials and triumphs became at once unique and universal, black and more than black; in chronicling our journey, the stories and songs gave us a means to reclaim memories that we didn't need to feel shame about…memories that all people might study and cherish – and with which we could start to rebuild."

A couple of hundred years ago, some black slaves in America began to identify intensely with the suffering of the Jews of the Old Testament and the captivity of the Jews in Babylon and in Egypt. The idea has been transformed into the basic belief of the the black nationalist cult religious movement. There are a number of black nationalist sects and various groups identify themselves as Muslims, Jews or Christians, but they are really not any of these and have more in common with each other than they do with the religions to which they claim to belong. Black nationalists maintain that they are "the real Jews" and that "white" Jews are apostate. They revile traditional Christianity as a religion designed to keep blacks (and other non-whites) enslaved and oppressed. It is not a church, but an anti-church.

That is what Obama refers to above. The Black Liberation Theology of Obama's sect under Jeremiah Wright explicitly states that blacks are the "Chosen People" and that whites and America will face retribution for slavery. The following quote is from Black Theology and Black Power" by James H. Cone (1969), page 151, his first book on Black Liberation Theology.

Therefore, God's Word of recon­ciliation means that we can only be justified by becoming black. Reconciliation makes us all black. Through this radical change, we become identified totally with the suffering of the black masses. It is this fact that makes all white churches anti-Christian in their essence. To be Christian is to be one of those whom God has chosen. God has chosen black people!

Obama prays to the "god of Black Supremacy". Furthermore, Black Liberation Theology teaches that white society is the Antichrist and America's democratic institutions, such as the Constitution, are the demonic tool of the "Antichrist," used by the Antichrist to hold the non-white peoples of the world in oppression and servitude. This quote is taken from "Black Theology and Black Power" by James H. Cone (1969), page 135.

Because Black Theology is biblical theology seeking to create new value-perspectives for the oppressed, it is revolutionary theology. It is a theology which confronts white society as the racist Antichrist, communicating to the oppressor that nothing will be spared in the fight for freedom. It is this attitude which distinguishes it from white American theology and identifies it with the religionists of the Third World.

Black Liberation Theology, like the broader theology of black nationalism, is a bizarre, supremacist, cult religious belief system and Americans need to learn more about it, in order to understand Obama's motivations. Obama often reveals his black nationalist beliefs in his actions as well as his words. Traditional Christianity was not taught at Trinity United Church of Christ and that is the only church that Obama ever joined.

This is a clip of a group of Black Hebrew Israelites, who have similar beliefs to the Black Liberation Theology of Obama's pseudo-Christian sect, but are much more public about it. These doctrines teach that evil white people can be redeemed only by submitting to black will, such as the white in this clip, or by being eliminated completely. This belief justifies Obama's own urge to dictate in order the destroy the system of black oppression.

https://youtu.be/4-GSZfSLxEM

If the foundation books on Black Liberation Theology by James H. Cone are compared to the doctrine of the broader black nationalist movement, you can see that Black Liberation Theology is just a more sophisticated version of the theology of the broader black nationalist movement. The books by Elijah Muhammad, available on Amazon, are probably the best description of the black identity theology of black nationalism. Read some of the books by or about Elijah Muhammad and compare the basic beliefs that the black race is God and the white race the devil to the basic beliefs of Black Liberation Theology, the doctrine of Obama's black nationalist sect in Chicago.

Some have suggested that Obama is a psychopathic Narcissist, a psychological disorder endemic to politicians and cult leaders. Such people are attracted to cult doctrines like the religious doctrine of black racial nationalism, because it justifies their megalomaniacal feelings of having a divine mission in the world.

Question: "How should Christians view the Black Lives Matter movement?"

Answer: Started in 2013 in response to separate police shootings of two young black men, the Black Lives Matter movement came into prominence with its use of the #BlackLivesMatter hashtag. Ever since, the phrase "black lives matter" has been a rallying cry of those who believe there is institutional racism against African-Americans in virtually every aspect of society, but especially in police departments and the legal system.

There is no point in discussing the statistics on black crime vs. the percentage of the black population and/or the numbers of black-on-black murders vs. the number of blacks killed by police officers. For every statistic, there is a dueling statistic and/or a way to reinterpret the statistic. There is no point in discussing the specific cases that spawned the Black Lives Matter movement. The various sides all seem to be rigorously locked into their understanding of the events and the aftermaths. Like most issues connected to race, it appears to be virtually impossible to have a constructive dialogue about the Black Lives Matter movement.

Biblically speaking, of course black lives matter. Blacks/African-Americans are equally created in the image of God (Genesis 1:26). In God's eyes, blacks are equal in value to whites, browns, reds, yellows, and everyone in between. Racism is evil. Some propose the saying "all lives matter" as an alternative. While "all lives matter" is absolutely and biblically true, it fails to address the issue at hand. The Black Lives Matter movement exists because many feel the world needs to be reminded that black lives do, in fact, matter.

Q. How should Christians view the goals of the black lives matter movement?

A. First, they should examine their hearts and ask God to help them get rid of any racist thoughts or tendencies. Second, they should fight against all true forms of racism that still exist in society. Third, they should be compassionate toward true victims of racism and point them toward Christ as the only answer for racism. Protests, policies, awareness, changes to the legal system, etc., etc., will never solve the problem of racism. Racism is the result of sin. Until the sin problem is dealt with—until people become new creations in Christ (2 Corinthians 5:17)—the problem of racism will never be eradicated.

Q. How should Christians view the methods of the black lives matter movement?

A. Peaceful protests against racial injustice are necessary and appropriate when racism has truly occurred. But Christians should never be involved in rioting, looting, violence against police officers, hateful speech, and/or "reverse" discrimination/racism against non-blacks. Injustice and hatred will not be ended by more injustice and hatred.  WS-3 -:)
