Christianity—The Remedy for Racism

Christianity—The Remedy for Racism

Let’s not mince words: Racism is real; racism is wrong; and racism is evil—in all its forms. White supremacy is wrong, evil, and is not to be defended or validated in any form.

But the battle happening in America today is not a battle between white supremacists and black victims; it is a battle between godless evolutionism and biblical Christianity that is presented under the false umbrella of racial inequity. In other words, the real battle is not between races but between cultures—and many black Americans have been tricked into thinking this is a racial war, when, in fact, it is a war between the God of the Bible and the enemy of all mankind. Many people of all races are inadvertently lending their support to the very forces that fuel racial exploitation and abuse while believing they are opposing it.

It is only by putting God first, as Martin Luther King Jr. did, advancing the principles of love, truth and liberty, advocating for the inalienable rights of equality of all people as beings created in the image of God—in other words, returning to the core values of the Protestant Reformation and leaving evolutionism behind—that we will ever have genuine equality.

Martin Luther King Jr. understood it was the principles of the Bible, of the Protestant Reformation, that led to the founding of the USA:

“When the architects of our republic wrote the magnificent words of the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence, they were signing a promissory note. … Even though we face the difficulties of today and tomorrow, I still have a dream. It is a dream deeply rooted in the American dream. I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of the creed: ‘We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal.’”

Dr. King knew that racial exploitation in America did not find its roots in the gospel of Jesus Christ, nor in the founding documents of this country. He understood there was another cause. And that cause is God’s enemy, who employs all methods to deny God and lead us away from the Bible.

As Christians, we understand that we are in a war not against mere humans, but against principalities and powers of darkness in the heavenly realms. Our real enemy is Satan and his forces that work behind the scenes to undermine love; obstruct truth; incite fear, jealousy, discord; inflame selfishness; and cause divisions—including racial conflicts and injustices.

In my blog, “BEWARE: THE CURRENT CLAIM OF “INSTITUTIONAL RACISM” IS REALLY AN ATTACK ON CHRISTIANITY,” I document four of God’s principles as described from Scripture, His design for humanity:

  1. God created us with individuality, our own identity and ability to think and reason that we are to develop by exercise—and this requires liberty, freedom of conscience, and choice (Genesis 1:1, 1:27, 28; Isaiah 1:18–20; Romans 14:5; Hebrews 5:14; Galatians 5:23).
  2. God created families with fathers and mothers; love for each other starts in the family and is how God built life to operate (Genesis 1:27, 28).
  3. God created nature, and His laws are the protocols upon which nature operates; thus, God created science, the true investigation of evidence that is testable and reproducible and reveals truth.
  4. And God designed humans for useful labor and gave Adam and Eve work in a sinless world, that we gain strength only through exercise, and that failure to engage in useful labor is damaging to human character (Genesis 2:15; Matthew 25:14).

After describing these Bible principles, I quote word for word from a chart from the National Museum of African American History and Culture, posted in the Smithsonian Institute, which states:

“White dominate culture, or whiteness, refers to the ways white people and their traditions, attitudes and ways of life have been normalized over time and are now considered standard practices in the United States.”

This chart then goes on to describe what it alleges to be the standard practices of whiteness in America today: 1) Rugged individualism, 2) Two-parent family structure, 3) Emphasis on Scientific Method, 4) History [European-centered], and 5) Protestant work ethic.

What is happening in America today is an attack on the principles of God, the principles of the Bible, by labeling these very principles as racist, as “whitism,” when, in fact, it is a cultural war and not a racial war. It is a battle between godless evolutionism and the God of the Bible. This was overtly stated in a July 5, 2021, article that appeared in Scientific America. Entitled “Denial of Evolution Is a Form of White Supremacy,” the author writes,

“I want to unmask the lie that evolution denial is about religion and recognize that at its core, it is a form of white supremacy that perpetuates segregation and violence against Black bodies.”

The author then goes on to take a perverse interpretation of Scriptures, claiming that Christianity teaches that black skin is the “mark of Cain” and is a punishment by God for sin. The article makes this false allegation to support their lie that Christianity is the cause and root of racism. However, any honest Bible student, one who uses the Scripture as their source and authority, will conclude that the Bible nowhere teaches such a perverse conclusion, and, in fact, it teaches that:

You were all baptized into Christ, and so you were all clothed with Christ. This means that you are all children of God through faith in Christ Jesus. In Christ, there is no difference between Jew and Greek, slave and free person, male and female. You are all the same in Christ Jesus (Galatians 3:26–28 NCV).

But the article is not interested in biblical truth; it is interested in advancing a godless theory of evolutionary origins. It affirms that in America today, essentially every scientific leader accepts as “truth” that all human life evolved from African ancestors and that the biblical narrative is a lie that must be rejected in order to embrace racial equity.

So, which philosophy, which culture, if lived, if embraced, if practiced, if believed in and carried out, is the true cause of institutional racism—Christianity or godless evolutionism?

At the time in history when the Protestant Reformation was advancing, the principles of equality for all peoples were moving forward, and godly men like William Wilberforce, a British member of parliament who, after becoming a Christian in 1785, fought a 20-year battle to end the slave trade, which resulted in the passing of England’s anti-slave act in 1807—at the time, the Spirit of God was leading to such advancements of equality through the Protestant Reformation, but along comes Charles Darwin and his theory of godless evolution.

Origins of Modern Racism

Evolutionary theory denies that all men are created equal with inalienable rights given to them by our Creator. Instead, Darwin’s lie claims humans evolved on their own from lower life forms, with the last non-human link being the apes.

The core principle of evolutionism is that the strong survive to pass along their genes, which are better, more fit, than the weaker specimens whose genes don’t survive and, thus, die out. Through this process of “natural selection,” the better, more advanced, more fit, members of a species produce offspring with ever-improving traits, and the species evolves into ever more advanced, improved, adapted organisms. The strong will eventually kill off the weak for the betterment of the species.

Darwin applied this godless view to humanity in his book The Descent of Man, where he spelled out his racial theory:

The Western nations of Europe … now so immeasurably surpass their former savage progenitors [that they] stand at the summit of civilization. … The civilized races of man will almost certainly exterminate and replace the savage races through the world. (p. 156). https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Page:Descent_of_Man_1875.djvu/172

Darwin’s cousin, Sir Francis Galton, inspired by Darwin’s work, pioneered eugenics; in his book Inquiries into Human Faculty and Its Development, he wrote:

[This book’s] intention is to touch on various topics more or less connected with that of the cultivation of race, or, as we might call it, with “eugenic” questions, and to present the results of several of my own separate investigations.

This is, with questions bearing on what is termed in Greek, eugenes, namely, good in stock, hereditarily endowed with noble qualities. This, and the allied words, eugeneia, etc., are equally applicable to men, brutes, and plants. We greatly want a brief word to express the science of improving stock, which is by no means confined to questions of judicious mating, but which, especially in the case of man, takes cognisance of all influences that tend in however remote a degree to give the more suitable races or strains of blood a better chance of prevailing speedily over the less suitable than they otherwise would have had. —Galton 1883, pp. 24–25

Darwin’s godless evolutionary theory led directly to eugenics, which led directly to the eugenics movements of the 20th Century, including those in the USA against African-Americans, such as forced sterilization, institutionalizations, and Human Zoos, in which black children were displayed in public with apes. Eugenics became accepted by many in the scientific world, including in psychiatry, resulting in the forced sterilization of those with mental handicaps. In Europe, this godless philosophy contributed to the rise of the Nazis, with their white supremacist philosophy and the Holocaust.

As Richard Weikart, in his book From Darwin to Hitler: Evolutionary Ethics, Eugenics, and Racism in Germany, states:

Darwinism by itself did not produce the Holocaust, but without Darwinism … neither Hitler nor his Nazi followers would have had the necessary scientific underpinnings to convince themselves and their collaborators that one of the world’s greatest atrocities was really morally praiseworthy.

And today in America, the Alt-Right and neo-Nazi groups embrace the philosophies of Darwinism and reject the principles of Jesus Christ, that all human beings are created in God’s image and are members of His family—that we are all brothers and sisters in Christ.

Satan’s Latest Battlefront

There are two antagonistic principles at war in human history: God’s principles of truth, love, freedom, the equality of all people as children of God, which led the Founding Fathers to construct the founding documents of this nation, which state that all human beings are created with inalienable rights by our Creator—and Satan’s view of godless evolutionism, the survival-of-the-fittest principles of selfishness and coercion, where people are merely animals evolved from lower life forms.

We, as Christians, war against Satan’s lies about God, including the lie that we evolved from lower life forms. We reject the lie that institutional racism is a result of Jesus, of the Bible, of Protestant Christianity; we must stand up and not be duped into siding with those forces in society that are claiming to advance racial justice through godless evolutionism and the political forces associated with it. If we want to advance the cause of God, we cannot align ourselves with the godless and give our support to forces that denounce our Savior, ridicule our godly origins, and claim that Christianity is the cause of racism.

We must return to the principles of God in how we live our lives. This is the only way to experience health, wellness, and equality. True equality is found in Jesus. We must return to the Bible, return to the truth that we—every human being of every race—are all descendants of Adam and Eve, who were created by our Creator in His image. When we do this, we will practice godly principles and embrace the truths of the Protestant Reformation:

  1. That each person is created with their own individuality, the ability to think and reason, which must be developed to its fullest potential.
  2. That God created families and that the healthiest outcomes for all people are when families function as God designed. From the Institute for Family Studies:
    • Black children from two-parent homes consistently do better than white children from single parent homes:
      • 36% of young black women from intact families have graduated from college, compared to just 28% of young white women from single-parent families.
      • 14% of young black men from intact families have been incarcerated, compared to 18% of young white men from single-parent families.
      • 13% of black children in intact families are poor compared to 33% of white children in single-parent families.
  3. We must return to evidence-based, godly understanding of our world and stop believing based on authority of office.
  4. Each person must engage in useful labor—some activity that is beneficial to their own health, welfare, as well as to their family and friends in their community.

There is a real war going on in the world today—but it isn’t a war between races; it is the same old war going on throughout all human history, a war of two cultures—the culture of truth, love, liberty—equality of all humans created in the image of God versus lies, fear, selfishness, which are the godless evolutionary survival-of-the-fittest methods. It is up to you to choose on which side of this battle you will be found.

Testimony 25

I just want to say thank you so much for your conversations via YouTube. I regularly tune in to your lectures, “Let’s Talk” sessions, and many others. Through these I’ve found greater depth and meaning to God’s word. Thanks for all that you do and please continue. I’m currently working in the middle of Silicon Valley at Stanford University. I feel like God really has me in the right place right now and I’m sensing that your teachings might be part of it.

Testimony 62

I would like to express my thanks to the C&R team for creating a platform from which people can learn to trust in God and grow. My life is a witness to the effectiveness of this ministry. Without believing the truth about God as you have shown, I don’t know what my life would be like. I had given up on God helping me with certain sins – it was all useless. Given that the scripture is clear and God is so good, how could I have betrayed him so many times? I was a yo-yo christian; spinning up and down. My faith and enthusiasm was driven by discoveries/threats that prophecy is about to be fulfilled. But when I watched your “Healing the Mind” seminar, it was like a light finally went on. I could see God had no plan to hurt me, the danger came from sin, and that He is working to protect me and strengthen me. Thank you for allowing God to use you. The message God gave C&R saved my life!

Testimony 63

I’ve been very blessed by “The God Shaped Brain” and this ministry, through video and podcast, over the last few years. It’s truly opened up my eyes more to the truth about God and the importance of that truth in the present world. The message is so inviting, freeing and enlightening and MORE people need to know about it. I believe it is the last message that can truly, not only prepare a people for salvation and translation, but vindicate the character of God.

Testimony 29

Thank you for all of your work to correct misconceptions about God’s character. So many people that my husband and I have talked to seem to be against the natural law construct and view it as “errant” and “dangerous.” Having learned more about it through your blogs and lessons, I don’t really understand why they view it that way, except that it means they have to relearn theology they have known for their entire lives. But I’m so excited to relearn this. For the past few years I have been questioning how I could trust a God who punishes arbitrarily and is full of wrath for those who don’t obey His commands. That view made me afraid to “mess up” or “not be good enough,” even within my relationship with God. I really appreciated the point you bring out about God not wanting us to serve Him because we are afraid, but because we love Him.

Melissa H., IN, USA

 

Testimony 17

The blessings of clarity and understanding you and your class inspire me to take from the word of God have impressed upon me so greatly the true, loving character of our Creator. I have found amazing freedom and joy through building a stronger, more intentional relationship with Him. What is new is that this is now a relationship built on love, reverence and respect rather than fear and obligation, and as such my eyes have been slammed OPEN as I am continually impressed by the manifestations of God’s true character in His provisions for fallen man.

T.E.H., Salt Lake City, UT, USA

 

Testimony 27

Your teachings about our heavenly Father have changed my life. Thank you sooooooo very very much! I know He’s doing some serious healing in my heart and life and I look forward to each new day to learn something new about Him and to just hear you speak about Him. Thank you, forever.

Testimony 58

I have been watching your videos in The Power of Love seminar and I must say these have liberated me and have improved my relationship with the Lord. I am no longer terrified of him as I was before following your teachings.

Thando N., South Africa

 

Testimony 64

I’ve been reading the bible and walking with Jesus since I was around 16. I’m 42 now. I’ve mostly been alone in my walk although I went to several churches in different denominations. For the past 3 years God has been showing me His character of agape. It’s been a blessing and changed how I view God and my walk with Jesus. About a year ago I came across the power of love and the principles of design law. These teachings changed how I read scripture and have been such a beautiful blessing. I’m very excited and grateful for these truths. We share these truths of agape, design law and the reality of the principles of the two trees in the garden of Eden with people on Facebook and YouTube. People all over are learning to trust God and His agape design law which makes life possible. Thank you for everything you shared with me. May God continue to bless your ministry and lives.

Bradley M., Hinsdale, NY, USA

 

Testimony 74

Thank you so much for opening my eyes. I’ve been through a lot of ministries that just didn’t show the love of God that I felt he was. You have helped me to begin the process of true healing. I thought I was “too far gone,” now I know there’s hope in Jesus, because he loves us beyond what we can comprehend. Thank you again for all you do. I truly appreciate it and pray more people find you (physical at your studio and through this website).

Dalio M.

Testimony 73

I have been truly blessed by your blogs and other resources. They have helped me to see things in a much brighter light and to reason things out better. Thank you so much for your ministry. Whenever I have the opportunity I pass along your material to my friends.

R. Noseworthy, Newfoundland, Canada

Testimony 53

I was so blessed by a friend who gave me your book, “The God Shaped Brain,” while I was sitting in church asking God to please help me learn more about Him and help me not to be so confused and scared. That was about 2 years ago. Your books have helped me to love God even more. I’m not confused or scared anymore! I have listened to all of your bible study classes and feel like I know the wonderful people that attend every week. Thank you for all that you’re doing in spreading the true message about God and His law of love. God bless you and your whole class.

Elssy P., Modesto, CA, USA

 

Testimony 46

Over the past couple of years God has been expanding my view of Himself and His character. Along my approximately 40-year journey, I have often had questions, but was hesitant to voice these and step outside the traditionally accepted thinking, for fear of admitting that I may in fact be eternally lost. In the recesses of my thinking has been the thought – if one blindly accepts (which is widely regarded as “real faith”) and does not question, is this really ‘truth?’ I often find it challenging to grapple with very theological ‘speak,’ but Dr. Jennings has a real gift of explaining spiritual concepts with clear practical examples. The weekly discussions are growing my Christian experience and slowly changing my view of how to live as a child of God in today’s complex world. Finally the whole Old Testament sanctuary teaching moved in my mind from fantasy to reality!

Beverly S., South Africa

 

Testimony 44

We were given a gift of the DVD set, “God and Your Brain,” and we just finished watching it. The truths in this are so powerful and truly an answer to a prayer. We’re seeing hope where once we thought God wasn’t answering our prayers to be free of certain mindsets. He answered with these DVDs and we are hungry for more. Thank you!

Daniel T., Easley, SC, USA

 

Testimony 66

I am incredibly grateful for the transformative impact you’ve had on my life, and words cannot fully express my appreciation. Over the years, I have been an avid listener and follower of C&R and extend my heartfelt thanks for creating the C&R mobile app. It has allowed me to immerse myself in your lessons repeatedly, enabling me to grasp the profound significance about the Character of God, Design Law, the protocols for life, the reasons behind the current chaos, and Christ’s mission to restore everything. They have deeply touched me. Having studied with various churches, I came away with the perception that God is no different from the deities of ancient Greek or Roman mythology—demanding sacrifices and taking pleasure in bloodshed. Thanks to your transformative teachings, I have experienced a profound awakening to the true nature of God and the immense power of His love. It is truly a remarkable and liberating sensation to finally grasp the truth and embrace the empowering nature of God’s laws. My self-perception has become brighter and more infused with love. My journey of growth continues on a daily basis.

Chris P., Lake Mary, FL, USA

 

Testimony 6

I got the book “Could It Be This Simple?” a few months ago and the reading was wonderful and I was fascinated. I lent the book to a friend at work. She is having a difficult time and the book is helping her to find Jesus and I found this very exciting. She has asked me questions and I can see her life changing.

H. S., Australia
