Race dominates nearly every conversation today. From identity politics to corporate boardrooms, racial identity has become the primary lens through which people view the world. But when the Church adopts these ideologies, allowing earthly identities to take precedence over unity in Christ, it signals a severe distortion of biblical truth.
How did we get here? How did we move from the biblical concept of one human race, made in the image of God, to a world where race divides, dominates, and distorts everything—even within the Church? The answer lies in the rise of modern ideologies, such as Critical Race Theory (CRT) and Cultural Marxism, which have infiltrated not just secular culture, but the pews of evangelical churches. These ideologies shift the focus from the gospel of salvation to the false gospel of division and oppression based on skin color...
Scripture consistently points to the oneness of humanity. Genesis 1:27 establishes that every human being is made in the image of God, “So God created man in His own image, in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them.” Our understanding of humanity is based on this truth: God created every person, regardless of ethnicity, with inherent dignity and worth because they bear His image.
In Acts 17:26, scripture declares that a common origin unites all nations and peoples: “And He made from one man every nation of mankind to live on all the face of the earth, having determined allotted periods and the boundaries of their dwelling place.” Here, Paul affirms not only humanity’s shared origin through Adam but also God’s sovereign hand over the distribution and diversity of nations and ethnic groups.

The answer lies in the rise of modern ideologies, such as Critical Race Theory (CRT) and Cultural Marxism, which have infiltrated not just secular culture, but the pews of evangelical churches. These ideologies shift the focus from the gospel of salvation to the false gospel of division and oppression based on skin color…The original sin of Adam and Eve disrupted our relationship not only with God but with each other (the woman made me do it), with nature ((the serpent made me do it) and even with ourselves (they were no longer comfortable in their own skin so they covered themselves with fig leaves). Division in the human race is not a modern development; it’s the consequence of original sin.
Not enough people want to win the debate.
When those reading these words are ready to firmly declare that the U.S. was the victim too, then that's when we can push the progressives aside into irrelevancy.
Rush used to say this on various topics - if there is no winner then it goes on forever. He mainly said this with regard to Israel/Palis but he said it elsewhere also.

Amen! Getting right with God certainly has nothing to do with race. Jew, Greek, or otherwise.
