RACE
AND CULTURE
IMBEDDED IN CREATION
By: Al Cronkrite
Reformed theology is heavily flavored with intellectualism. Scholastic achievements and college degrees are
used to lend authenticity to theological positions and there are too many meritocratic
mini-tomes written in support of what are sometimes nit-picky contentions. These contentions sometimes blur and distort more
important issues.
Regent University
graduate Steve Halbrook, a talented young Christian scholar, has written a book entitled
God Is Just; A defense of Old Testament Civil Laws. I was attracted to
the subtitle since I also support Old Testament Civil Law. Following the
Acknowledgements, in the pages preceding the narrative, Halbrook found it necessary to
include a section entitled A Disclaimer Regarding Sources. Particularly
concerned with the Federal Vision,
and Kinism he penned the following
footnote:
Spiritually-speaking,
there are two racesthe elect and the reprobates. As God
told the serpent after the Fall: I will put enmity between you and the woman, and
between your offspring and her offspring; he shall bruise your head, and you shall
bruise his heel (Genesis 3:15). Thus the Fall didnt produce racial
division along physical lines, but spiritual lines. This is why the Bible forbids
Christians from marrying non-Christians, but does not forbid blacks from marrying
whites, or Hispanics from marrying Asians, etc. For Christians, when it comes to
marriage the issue is whether the other person is a Christian, regardless of skin
color.
There is no heresy
in the paragraph but the verbiage and the emphasis are aberrant. When the word
race is used to differentiate between the elect and reprobates, there is
nothing left to describe the numerous, physically and socially diverse, people that
inhabit the various areas of Gods Creation. They are all made in His image and
all have physical similarities. They are all sinners and all candidates for the
Gospel of Jesus Christ. Nevertheless, there are substantial differences.
Cultures are distinct, sharing different sets of attitudes, values, goals, and
practices. Though there has been a concerted effort by multi-cultural,
one-world, elitists to confuse and destroy the meaning of the words race and culture the
distinctions remain. Race and culture are related. Different races live in different
cultures and their behavior will exhibit their unique cultural influences.
While it is correct
that there is nothing in the Bible condemning interracial marriage, neither is there
anything that encourages it. The God of the Bible did create diverse languages and
scatter the people at Babel. Though the historical connection between Babel and
racial diversity is missing racial diversity is a fact in a universe governed by the
Sovereign God whose dealings with various nations and races are recorded in the Bible
narrative.
Christian marriage
across racial lines is acceptable, but the diversity God created should be respected and
efforts to ignore races and cultures with the intent of bringing about a one race pagan
society with a single heretical state religion is a direct confrontation to the Will of
God and a grievous sin.
The Bible supports
the family. It records genealogy and the relationships of family members.
Marriage not only creates a union between a man and women but also brings together two
families. Proper family relationships contribute to good marriages. Cultural
diversity hampers family relationships.
Attempts to destroy
race and culture in the United States of America are major problems in this era. Pat
Buchanans banishment from MSNBC (The MS is for Microsoft) is a case in point.
According to a tiny
article in our paper NSNBCs president Phil Griffin has banned Patrick Buchanan from
the network because he doesnt think the book (Suicide of a Superpower) should
be part of the national dialogue, much less discussed on MSNBC. Buchanan argues that
America is in the Indian summer of our civilization. The book contains
chapters entitled The End of White America and The Death of Christian
America. Apparently there are a least two major violations of the propaganda
being promoted by our monopolistic media: Racism it is proper to promote many
races but unpopular to promote the American racial majority. Christianity
religious discussions of multiple religious faiths are allowed but Biblical Christianity
is condemned and has been successfully discouraged.
The Media will argue
that they are paying their commentators and therefore have a right to censor their
opinions. There is some truth to that position but it disregards the right of the
public to hear all sides of every issue. The American media is a monopoly at both
the top and bottom. At the top it is controlled by a handful of powerful, like
minded elitists and at the bottom most cities have one newspaper and the usual plethora of
television channels that spew out the same biased new coverage along with buckets of
degradation
The internet is a
refreshing alternative where media censored news is available along with excellent
information on almost every subject. It is a little like the old West with
freewheeling gunfighters, outlaws, sheriffs, and preachers. There are writers that
attack the establishment; there are users that attack the writers; there are clubby unions
of agreeable users; there are writers that provide guesses as fact and writers that
present theory as reality; there is lots of false information, but through it all a
discerning reader can become well informed. Unfortunately, many of our citizens
either do not have internet access or do not have time to use it properly.
Banning Pat Buchanan
from the media because one does not agree with his book violates freedom of speech and
freedom of the press; because of the public nature of news reporting, I believe it is a
violation of the First Amendment and is illegal. However, there are vigorous urgings
to terminate Buchanan and Griffin seems to be heeding them. Zionists
demand free speech for their monopolistic media as long as they can
control it. |
Multi-culturalism
has been promoted by the Zionist controlled networks and attempts to preserve the White
European Culture are targets of this assault. Wikipedia describes
immigration in the United State this way American immigration history can be viewed
in four epochs: the colonial period, the mid-nineteenth century, the turn of the
twentieth, and post-1965. Each period brought distinct national groups, races, and
ethnicities to the United States. During the seventeenth century, approximately 175,000
Englishmen migrated to Colonial America.]
Over half of all European immigrants to Colonial America during the 17th and 18th
centuries arrived as indentured servants. The mid-nineteenth century saw mainly an
influx from northern Europe; the early twentieth-century mainly from Southern and Eastern
Europe; post-1965 mostly from Latin America and Asia.
In 1952 Senator Pat
McCarran recorded this statement into the Congressional Record: I believe that this
nation is the last hope of Western civilization and if this oasis of the world shall be
overrun, perverted, contaminated or destroyed, then the last flickering light of humanity
will be extinguished. I take no issue with those who would praise the contributions which
have been made to our society by people of many races, of varied creeds and colors.
America is indeed a joining together of many streams which go to form a mighty river which
we call the American way. However, we have in the United States today hard-core,
indigestible blocs which have not become integrated into the American way of life, but
which, on the contrary are its deadly enemies. Today, as never before, untold millions are
storming our gates for admission and those gates are cracking under the strain. The
solution of the problems of Europe and Asia will not come through a transplanting of those
problems en masse to the United States.... I do not intend to become prophetic, but if the
enemies of this legislation succeed in riddling it to pieces, or in amending it beyond
recognition, they will have contributed more to promote this nation's downfall than any
other group since we achieved our independence as a nation.
In a comprehensive
book (available on line)
entitled Jewish Involvement in Shaping American Immigration Policy, 1881-1965: A
Historical Review Professor Kevin MacDonald writes: The defeats of 1924 and
1952 did not prevent the ultimate victory of the Jewish interest in combating the
cultural, political, and demographic dominance of the European-derived peoples of the
United States. What is truly remarkable is the tenacity with which Jewish ethnic interests
were pursued for a period of close to 100 years. Also remarkable was the ability to frame
the argument of immigration-restrictionists in terms of racial superiority in the period
from 1924-1965 rather than in such positive terms as the ethnic interests of the peoples
of northern and western Europe in maintaining a status quo as of 1924.
United States was
never a Christian Nation but it was a nation with a predominantly Christian population.
Today, Christians are censored, mocked, vilified, and confined to the interior of
their churches. The Zionist controlled media regularly trashes Christianity and
Zionist controlled organizations like the ACLU tirelessly strive to destroy the Christian
religion. Laws are being encoded that require Christians to defy the edicts of their
God making obedience to God a crime against the state. Demographics tells us that in
a few short decades the European Christian culture that produced our nation will be a
minority
Many Americans
wonder how this has happened. One of the sentences from the preceding paragraph by
Professor Kevin MacDonald helps one understand. What is truly remarkable is
the tenacity with which Jewish ethnic interests were pursued for a period of close to 100
years. Jewish ethnic interests worked for decades to expand immigration
and remove requirements for new residents. They worked to bring this about with a
vigor that would convince a dispassionate observer that they were bent on destroying the
nation. In 1965, a new immigration act was passed that dropped skill
requirements, opened the door to Asian cultures and allowed immigrants to bring in their
families. This
new immigration bill introduced in the House by Congressman Emanuel Cellar and
promoted in the Senate by Senator Jacob Javits, both Jewish, forever changed the culture
and character of our nation.
Zion is a Biblical
term that carries a favorable connotation for most Christians. Unfortunately,
todays Zionism has little in common with the Bible, the Torah, ancient Israel, or
the Law of Moses. Israel is a secular state and the considerable Zionist world
hegemony is secular and amoral. With the lawless heresy of Dispensationalism
providing an exploding Christian support Zionism has succeeded in a bloodless coup in the
United States. Ariel
Sharon said, "We, the Jewish People, Control America, and the Americans Know
it"!
There are real and
important social distinctions resulting from diverse races and cultures. These
distinctions cannot be ignored. White European immigrants were the founders of the
United States of America; they brought Christianity, the essential ingredient for peace
and freedom. Prior to the 1965 immigration fiasco serious consideration was
given to the race and culture of immigrants.
Interracial marriage
is not a sin but it creates problems that unions within race and culture avoid.
The significance of
the Jewish race in United States is a case in point. A race that makes up about one
percent of our population makes up over thirty percent of students at Harvard. They
control our media, own many of your major corporations, and hold significant sway over our
government. They
consider their race superior and their accumulation of power confirmation of their
superiority. They hate Christianity and with the support of hordes of naïve
Christians are in the process of using their considerable power to replace it.
Our schizophrenic
society has made harming species of animals a crime while at the same time passing other
laws that allow human species to destroy themselves. Recognizing races and nations
as God given entities does not translate into White supremacy nor does the recognition of
racial differences. These are realities that we need to be recognized and
confronted.
The Apostle Paul
said Christian workers were better to remain single. He did not condemn marriage but
believe being single allowed more time to spread the Gospel. Marriage across racial
lines is similar; interracial marriage is not a sin but marriage within ones race and
culture is superior.
