This is an interesting topic. As you quoted, in the body of called out believers, there is no difference. All are children, in the body of believers. What about the rest of the world? That’s where division comes into play.
TRUE TRUE TRUE. There is only one race….humankind. And if you don’t know and follow Christ who is God’s image are you really human and kind or still just a fallen part of creation? Shalom to all . Praise our King in the midst of all Tribulation. FJ
I heard a teaching on this=if it is correct then Noah’s 3 sons, Shem=father of the Semites, Ham=father of people of color, Japeth=father of the Asians and CaucASIANS. We were ALL in the same boat!
One thing is certain: We call come from Noah. So yes, we’re all in the same boat. Who came from what son of Noah is immaterial.
I would suggest it is material. Part of the reason the Northern ten tribes are a lost wild olive branch is because they have lost their identity. Ephraim does not know who it is for the most part, but soon they will!
I think although there may be advantages of being a Jew as there may be disadvantages of being from the line of Ham (his son was cursed), in regard to salvation, our ancestry does not matter since every human being has the opportunity to become a child of Elohim. Yeshua died for the sins of the whole world. In connection with the Holy Spirit, all disadvantages may be overcome.

Sonja, it is not just being a jew. The whole house of Israel consists of all the tribes including the lost ten tribes known as the wild olive branch. That is a huge number of people on this earth to this day. The study of where these people are today is a fascinating one.
Before society can rid itself of racism it must understand who the true racists are.

I think racism is born of fear to one degree or another and also can be used as a tool to keep others down so one can feel powerful or superior. As we know ‘Love casts out all fear’; so that’s the answer.
John tells me that Australians aren’t racists; they just hate everyone equally, no favoritism shown.

Dear Steve,
When I mentioned Jews, I did mean the lost tribes as well. The word ‘Jew’ has become generic over time and can be used as meaning all Israelites.
I wonder whether I am from a lost tribe?
Shalom, Sonja

I don’t think that theory holds up. The Israel line and therefore white people come from the line of Shem. Although the same boat line is clever!

I agree, Steve.

We are to love who He loves (everyone) and hate WHAT He hates (sin) 🙂
He didn’t say we had to LIKE everyone either 🙂
