Jesus taught that the scriptures of the Old Testament were the Word of God. the Old Testament teaches that all human beings are descendants of Adam. The Identity Movement, to which Rudolph belongs, does not. In Matthew 26:28, the Last Supper, Jesus took the cup and said. "For this is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins." The Identity Movement denies the efficacy of Christ's sacrifice for nonwhites. In Acts 1:8, Jesus stated, before His ascension into heaven, that the disciples were to be witnesses to the uttermost part of the earth. The Identity Movement denies the offer of the Gospel to nonwhite nations. Jesus taught two great commandments, one of which is to love your neighbor as yourself. The Identity Movement denies that nonwhites are their neighbors. The Apostle Paul, stated in Galatians 3:28, "There 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." The Identity Movement denies that the Kingdom of God includes nonwhite nations.
The doctrines of the Identity Movement preclude any of its adherents, including Eric Rudolph, from honestly "Professing belief in Jesus as Christ or following the religion based on the life and teachings of Jesus." Hence, Identity Movement adherents, Rudolph included, are not Christians.
