eXile and Race
Jesus's last words on Earth to his eleven apostles began:
"Nations" is from the Greek "Ethna," which means race or ethnicity. So Jesus's command to make disciples of all nations is in fact a command to convert all races to Christianity.
The central promise of Christianity is that people of every race or ethnic group can be given eternal life through faith in the teachings and sacrifice of Jesus Christ. Two thousand years after Jesus spoke those words, Christianity has evolved from a tiny sect in Palestine to the world's largest religion.
Whether this or that race or ethic group is superior is, at best, an irrelevant argument. All fall short of the Glory of God, all need salvation, and salvation through Jesus Christ is promised to all.
So those who think other races are inferior and unworthy of salvation
do not follow Christ's teachings.
It was also prophesied and became true that Jews were offered the opportunity to become the first people of Christianity, but rejected that offer.
Have you never read in the Scriptures: "The very stone which the builders rejected has become the head of the corner..."
Therefore I tell you, the Kingdom of God will be taken away from you and given to a nation producing the fruits of it."
Again, "Nation" is translated from "Ethna" the Greek word for ethnicity or race.
Jesus's prophecy was fulfilled. A different race, the Europeans, became the first people of Christianity. The earliest Christian communities were Hellenistic in language and culture. The earliest manuscripts of the New Testament are written in Greek - an Indo-European language. The first Christian symbol was the Greek word ickthus (fish), - an acronym for the doctrine "Jesus Christ, the Son of God, Savior."
Peter himself recognized that Europeans had become the first people of Christianity. Addressing gentile converts in Eastern Europe, among them Celtic Galatians, he said:
The Europeans remain the first people of Christianity. European missionaries brought the Christian Faith to the six other continents of this world. As prophesied by our Lord, the Europeans did produce the fruits of the Kingdom of God. And as Europeans converted others to Christianity, they themselves were blessed with supreme technological and cultural advantages over every other people on Earth.
Religion, race, ethnicity and culture are concepts. The reality is the individual. On a conceptual level, race and religion are not related. On the real level, the individual level, they are highly related. The European tends not to be Muslim, Hindi, Buddhist, Shinto or Animist. Overwhelmingly, he is a Christian.
Thus, we cannot separate our concern for Christianity from a concern for the welfare of the European people. Certainly, our Adversary makes no distinction, for the ruler of this world is actively procuring the destruction of the European people.
To destroy a religion, it is necessary to destroy the people who believe in it.
If the Europeans remain the first people of Christianity, they will be preserved. If they reject Christianity, they will perish.
Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. Matthew 28:19
"Jesus said to them [the chief priests and the Pharisees]: Matthew 21:42-44
But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God's own people [...] once you were no people but now you are God's people. 1 Peter 2:9-10
