There is Only One Race - the Human Race

Copied from the sermon notes of Pastor Don Elmore

September 7, 2025

Scripture Reading: Titus 1:14:

“Not giving heed to Jewish fables [or myths of Judaism], and commandments of men, that turn from the truth. 

The apostle Paul’s letter to Titus, who was one of his co-workers during part of a couple of his missionary journeys, gives to his fellow helper a stern warning. He gave him instructions to not give any credence to … it wasn’t any Oriental fables or Negro fables or Greek fables … but only to Jewish fables. I wonder why that was. Was Paul anti-Semitic?

The relationship between the Apostle and Titus was a close, mentor-mentee relationship with Titus being a trusted companion and confidant of Paul. Paul referred to Titus as his “true son in our common faith” (Titus1:4). 

Titus served as a key figure in Paul’s ministry, acting as a messenger, and helping to establish order and resolve disputes in early Christian congregations. Paul entrusted Titus with important missions, such as restoring order to the churches on the island of Crete and in Corinth, Greece.

The first reference to Titus, both in terms of the order of the Bible and in terms of historical chronology, is found in the Book of Galatians. This is likely the first letter the Apostle Paul wrote, and it was at least 15 years prior to writing the letter to Titus. 

Paul’s relationship with Titus is even older than the letter written to the Galatian churches, as Paul notes in Galatians 2:1-3 about bringing Titus along with Barnabas on a visit to Jerusalem he had made a few years before the writing of Galatians (some Bible commentators disagree and say that it was the Acts 15 meeting in Jerusalem).

Galatians 2:1-3:

1) “Then fourteen years after I [Paul] went up again to Jerusalem with Barnabas, and took Titus with me [Paul] also [Acts 11:28, the famine visit described as the consequence of Agabus’ prophecy].

2) And I [Paul] went up by revelation, and communicated unto them [the church members] that gospel which I [Paul] preach among the Gentiles [10 tribes of Israel], but privately to them which were of reputation [James, Peter, and John, verse nine] lest by any means I [Paul] should run, or had run, in vain.

3) But neither Titus, who was with me [Paul], being a Greek [member of one of the 10 tribes of Israel], was compelled to be circumcised.” 

This detail leads to Titus being both one of the earliest ministry partnerships and one of the longest partners of the apostle Paul. Their ministry partnership preceded that of Paul’s with Timothy and outlasted Paul’s partnership with Barnabas.

We don’t have any details in terms of how old Titus was or how they met (though the reference to Titus as a son in faith in Titus 1:4 may indicate that Paul was there when Titus became a Christian), but we discover in Galatians 2:3 that Titus was an Israelite of the former House of Israel (10 tribes) and not an Israelite of the House of Judah.

His ethnic identity is more than a trivial detail, however, as it became a potential flash point. There were many debates at this time concerning what was expected of the divorced House of Israel who were severed from the commonwealth of Israel for over seven centuries before becoming Christians. This is a key issue addressed and discussed in the Book of Galatians. Paul notes that neither he nor others forced Titus to be circumcised, showing that a believer in Jesus did not need to become like the House of Judah as the rest of Israel had been prior to Christianity.

Most of the references to Titus in the New Testament appear in 2ndCorinthians, which is about seven years after Galatians and about the same time (seven years) before the Book of Titus – see chart. Paul’s words about Titus in the book of Corinthians show him to be well respected by Paul and by the church at Corinth.

In 2nd Corinthians 7:8-16 a problem in the church of Corinth was addressed by Paul in a letter (1 Corinthians).There was a specific sin in the church (1 Corinthians 5:1),“fornication”(Greek word: “pornos”, not the related word “porneia” which means interracial sex) that “one should have his father’s wife.”

The church had a problem that one of its members was involved in sexual immorality, specifically incestuous relationships, which was a serious offense within the church community. The apostle Paul addresses the Corinthian church for not dealing with this sin, highlighting the need for church discipline to maintain purity and address sin within the body of Christ. Here is one of several verses that gives the curse to any Israelite who commits this sin.

Deuteronomy 27:20:  “Cursed be he that lieth with his father’s wife; because he uncovereth his father’s skirt. And all the people shall say, Amen.”

The Corinthians, both inside and outside the church, were aware of this incestuous sin. But the church had failed to act on it. Paul’s painful letter is to the church, rebuking them for not dealing with this violation of God’s Law. They should have excommunicated the sinful man and if he repented of his sin, then taken him back into their fold. 

After the letter is sent, Titus is sent to Corinth with a heavy heart and a good measure of fear and trepidation. But Titus soon finds that the Corinthians lived up to Paul’s confidence in them. Because the Corinthians took care of this situation, Titus’ affection abounds toward them even more, and his heart is warmed by fond memories of his time spent among them. When Titus informs Paul of the improved condition of the Corinthian church, Paul is overjoyed. This becomes one more source of encouragement to him as he presses on in his ministry as a fellow-servant with Titus and the apostles.

Later, when we read Paul’s letter of instruction and encouragement to Titus, we found Titus on the island of Crete. According to the scriptures, he is there to put the church in order and take care of unfinished business in establishing the church in Crete. Titus was Paul’s “partner and fellow helper” (2 Corinthians 8:23).

So, if a church is to excommunicate unrepented sinners … are you aware of any that have been excommunicated in recent days? Have you been to a church that has excommunicated anyone for any reason? Most churches don’t have a membership roll anymore, so, they couldn’t excommunicate any one if they wanted to.

What about other sexual sins besides incest? What about adultery or interracial sexual sins. Should a church have members or clergy who are in this sin and do nothing about it? Should a church have mixed couples in their congregation? Should a church follow a so-called “Christian ministry” that teaches that there is no sin in interracial marriages?

ARTICLE FOUND IN MY SHED

While cleaning up my shed this summer, I found this article that was printed on September 3, 2017, in the Cincinnati Enquirer Newspaper. It was on the Forum page, which was page 8F on the Sunday edition, the most popular day of the week for the newspaper. It was written by Ken Ham, the president of Answers in Genesis and co-author of the book “One Race, One Blood.” The other co-author of this book, which taught that interracial marriages were approved of by God if both candidates for marriage were Christian, was a black pastor from Indianapolis, Indiana named Charles Ware.

Answers in Genesis is like the popular new song sung in Judeo-Christian retreats and churches. The internet showed multitudes of children (one scene over 20,000) singing this song, that is showing the punishment that we are receiving by not following our God.

“We got dust on our Bibles,

But brand-new iPhones,

No wonder why

We feel this way.

(clap, clap)

We walk with our eyes closed,

Blind leading blind folks,

I’m done with those idols,

And dusty Bibles.” 

I think that Answers in Genesis, might as well have dust on their Bibles because what they say the Bible teaches is the direct opposite of what the Bible instructs. Answers in Genesis came to Florence, Kentucky about thirty years ago and started in a small strip mall. They began to sell their merchandise and slowly got enough money to begin to build their Creation Museum in Petersburg, Kentucky. It opened on May 28, 2007. Several years later, they began to build, with the help of Amish carpenters, Noah’s Ark and it is now one of their premier exhibitions near Williamstown, Kentucky. It opened to the public on July 7, 2016. 

Next on their agenda, is the largest indoor model of the Christ-era Jerusalem in the world. It is planned to open to the public in 2026. After this one exhibition is opened, the next one will be a model of the Tower of Babel, complete with an amusement-park style ride.

Answers in Genesis is so big that it plans to move its headquarters into what was once Toyota’s North American engineering headquarters in Erlanger, Northern Kentucky. AiG bought the building in 2002 for $31.3 million dollars. This building will become the hub of Answers in Genesis’ global teaching and training facility. It will also become a K-12 school, Answers Academy, which will accommodate 450 to 500 students.

Answers in Genesis is the umbrella non-profit that presides over the Ark Experience in Williamstown and the Creation Museum in Petersburg. The Ark is for-profit, and the museum is a non-profit.

Construction of a Welcome Center to house the 2,000 square-foot model will likely begin in the spring of 2025 and will include efforts to redo the entrance to the Ark Encounter. The Ark Encounter is bigger than Disneyland. At 800 acres, it dwarfs the 500-acre park in California, though not all of it is developed yet. The re-creation of Noah’s Ark is one of the biggest tourism draws in Northern Kentucky, bringing in about 1.5 million people per year. That is about 75% of the Cincinnati Reds professional baseball team’s home attendance in 2024.

Now, the cost to construct the Jerusalem model building and Welcome Center at the Ark will be around $20 million. The foundation that provided matching grants in AiG’s past endeavors has duplicated this strategy for the new projects. They have provided a matching gift challenge, where each gift will be matched dollar-for-dollar for the first $8.5 million given to the project through the end of the year. 

This year, 2025, the Ark’s annual Christmas display has an additional feature: a heated indoor petting zoo area. That’s in addition to a light display, which Ham says rivals the Cincinnati Zoo’s PNC Festival of Lights. There will also be an animated show on a 70-foot LED screen, concerts, and singalongs.   

By next year, 2026, a walkable, netted bird aviary will be added to the zoo area. The Creation Museum, located about 40 minutes north of the Ark, is adding a butterfly house. “We try to do something at both places new every year and upgrade every year. ... it always helps to add things new,” Ken said.

Away from the tourist areas, hydroponic gardens are thriving, and a soon-to-be opened 100-bed dormitory will house high school or college-aged workers during peak spring and summer seasons.  The hydroponic garden produces 130 heads of romaine lettuce every day, which helps feed the animals at the petting zoo. 

The gardens also produce plants for the Creation Museum and the Ark landscape. It’s all done in greenhouses with fish excrement helping to fuel nutrients plants need.

How do they raise so much money from so-called “Christian” churches when they are not even a Christian church or sponsored by a Christian church? The truth is, they are an organization that acts like they are a “Christian ministry,” but they teach Jewish(antichristian) theology.   They are more like an amusement park with a Biblical theme to entice Christian donations. AiG has experienced tremendous growth in the last 30 or so years. They have fleeced the churches and their members out of hundreds of thousands of dollars. 

So, let’s see what the churches are getting for their money as regards to the theology AiG is putting out to them. We will examine Ken’s article that he wrote for the Enquirer eight years ago. We will look at each of the eight paragraphs of the entire article.

The first sentence of the first paragraph of the article is as follows (emphases mine):

“In the past two centuries, Christian politicians and church leaders were among the great leaders in America’s fight against the scourge of racism.”

Who are the Christian politicians and church leaders in America’s fight against racism? The remainder of the first paragraph tells who the founder of AiG picked:

“Following the example of the courageous English abolitionist and devout Christian William Wilberforce in the early 1800s, anti-slavery activists in America (many of them pastors) helped abolish slavery. During the civil rights era of the 1950s and 1960s, many of its key leaders were pastors, such as Martin Luther King Jr. and Cincinnati’s very own Fred Shuttlesworth.”

Ken Ham chose three so-called “Christians” who led the fight against racism in America:

1. William Wilberforce of England,
2. Martin Luther King, Jr. of Georgia, and
3. Fred Shuttlesworth of Alabama and Cincinnati, Ohio.

The first-person Ken mentioned was not a pastor but an English politician.

William Wilberforce: 

William Wilberforce was born in Hull, Yorkshire (England), into a wealthy merchant family. In 1788 at the age of 29, Wilberforce began using opium on the recommendation of his doctor, likely to treat ulcerative colitis. There were periods when Wilberforce attempted to quit, always without success. In his diaries, Wilberforce acknowledges that if he missed his evening dose, he would wake up sick and be forced to lie in bed, greatly sneezing and other signs of spasm.

There are details of a series of negative effects the drug had on Wilberforce as he grew more untidy, indolent, and absent-minded as his years went on. His eyesight declined due to slow opium poisoning and the drug affected his mental health, exacerbating a period of depression. 

Four years before he began using opium (1784), at age 25, Wilberforce became an evangelical (Arminian)Christian within the Anglican Church. He questioned whether he could pursue politics and remain a Christian. Wilberforce’s spiritual mentor was evangelical (Arminian) minister John Newton (1725-1807), writer of the world-famous hymn, “Amazing Grace,” and former slave trader captain. 

John Newton’s mother died when he was seven years old and he worked on ships with his father. But he was insolent, and bull headed. He eventually transported African slaves to the Caribbean Islands and America and found himself guilty on doing this job. He even was a slave, himself, for three years when he was left by his captain when he was sick. He is the “wretch” mentioned in the poem which became a very famous hymn (see below). Later, music was attached to it by another song minister. 

Here are the lyrics to the first stanza of Newton’s spiritual autobiography:

1. Amazing grace! How sweet the sound
   That saved a wretch like me [John Newton]!
   I [John Newton] once was lost, but now am found;
   Was blind, but now I[John Newton] see.

In stanza two, the pronouns “my”, “my” and “I”; in stanza three, “I” and “me”; in verse four, “me”, “my” and “my”; in verse five, “I”, and in verse six, “me” and “mine” all refer to John Newton.

Another verse was recorded in Harriet Beecher Stowe’s immensely influential 1852 anti-slavery novel, Uncle Tom’s Cabin. She wrote that Uncle Tom sung the sixth and fifth verses in that order, and Stowe included another verse, not written by Newton. She included a verse that had been passed down orally in African American communities for at least 50 years. 

7. When we’ve been there ten thousand years,
   Bright shining as the sun,
   We’ve no less days to sing God’s praise,
   Than when we first begun.

Harriet was the daughter of a Calvinistic preacher and was a sister to seven brothers who also became preachers. Of her three sisters, one founded a seminary, another was a cohort of Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Susan B. Anthony in the women’s suffrage movement, and the other sister focused her life on home labor and was the grandmother to radical literary feminist Charlotte Perkins Gilman.

Harriet’s famous fictional book, Uncle Tom’s Cabin, sold over three hundred thousand copies in its first year of publication. She never knew much about slavery, but she heard stories about it while she lived in Cincinnati. It would become the most read book, next to the Bible, in mid-nineteenth-century America. 

But it also drew violent criticism from the pro-slavery South and from some Northerners who questioned the novel’s portrayals as unrealistically brutal. The South argued that the book was filled with exaggerations and outright falsehoods, and many pro-slavery Southerners wrote “Anti-Tom” novels to counter its narrative. 

Harriet’s house is a historic home in Cincinnati, Ohio (see below) where she lived for 19 years. Over the course of her life, she moved from Calvinism to Arminianism.

There were many Christian pastors who supported slavery from the Bible. Abraham, Isaac and Jacob all had slaves or servants. Even the Apostle Paul sent Onesimus, a slave, back to Philemon, who was his slave owner. 

Ken Ham wrote in his article that Wilberforce was a “devout” Christian who was also an Arminian (not believing either a Calvinistic or Covenant theology). But was he a devout Christian? He was a member of the Clapham Sect, a group of social reformers associated with the Holy Trinity Clapham in the period from the 1780s to the 1840s. His Christian faith prompted him to become interested in social reform, particularly the improvement of factory conditions in Britain, the sending of missionaries to India and Africa, and the British and Foreign Bible Society. He believed that salvation was available to all races.

Martin Luther King, Jr.:

The second person that Ham selected was born with a different name that what he is known as today. He was born with the name Michael Luther King, Jr., but his father changed his first name from Michael to Martin. He was a black (mulatto) Arminian preacher (in a black church)with Communists ties who promoted integration instead of  segregation in society that was present in most of the states. Nelson Rockefeller and his daughter also wanted the civil rights leader to run for the presidency of the United States and said that they would back him with plenty of their money if he chose to run. 

King’s lawyer, Stanley David Levison was an influential member of the Communist Party of the USA who the FBI thought was wielding influence as top adviser of the nation’s most prominent civil rights leader. He also had another suspected Communist, Jack O’Dell, who worked for the Southern Christian Leadership Conference. The FBI also found evidence of King’s many extramarital affairs.

Fred Shuttlesworth:

The third person Ken noted was one of Cincinnati’s civil rights leaders. He was born with a different name too. He was born Freddie Lee Robinson on March 18, 1922, in Mt. Meigs, Alabama. He was also a black (mulatto) pastor. He was co-founder of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference (a suspected Communist organization).Shuttlesworth was elevated to the status of the Reverend Martin Luther King Jr. and the Reverend Ralph Abernathy as the modern civil rights movement’s “Big Three.” By his own count, Shuttlesworth survived at least three direct attempts on his life, was arrested and jailed 30 times and filed 40 lawsuits.

Shuttlesworth and his wife, Ruby K. Shuttlesworth, divorced in 1970. She died in 1971.Fred remained active in the movement in Alabama even after moving in 1961 to Cincinnati, where he was an Arminian pastor for most of the next 47 years at Greater New Light Baptist Church. This is a predominately black church that is pro-LGBTQ rights. 

He moved back to Birmingham in February 2008 for rehabilitation after a mild stroke. That summer, the once-segregated city (Birmingham, Alabama) honored him with a four-day tribute and named its airport after him; his statue stands outside the Birmingham Civil Rights Institute.

Ken Ham’s opening statement that Christian politicians and church leaders were among the great leaders in America’s fight against the scourge of racism was incorrect from the beginning. How could a person be against what the Bible teaches be called a great leader? The Bible teaches racism but the three people that he listed as “key Christian leaders” denied it:

• One of them was a big-time womanizer,
• Another a so-called pastor who was in favor of pride month, civil rights, and preach a social gospel, and
• Another one an opium politician who lived in England half a century before the slaves in the United States were freed.

Back to Ham’s article, paragraph two:

“Although racism sadly exists in many churches today, Christians are the ones best equipped to counter it. As they look back on the church ’sabolitionist heritage, Christians should continue to use their very powerful weapon, the Bible, to fight racism, especially today when tension mounts as white supremacists stage protests, statues are taken down and Cincinnati deals with simmering racial issues.”

 Jim Jester, in his book “Racism in NOT a Bad Word”, Page 9, contradicts what Ken Ham says about racism. 

“Most of Christendom today has no concept of the idea that the Bible is a racial book. They are taught that God loves everybody, and so they involve themselves with foreign missions to help the less fortunate of every race by bringing them into their [former] Christian countries... These people are not living up to their responsibility to God, or their posterity. They do not think that race has anything to do with Christianity’s future. But race irrefutable does play a leading role in Christian civilization.”

Ken Ham slams a few churches in America when he says that “racism sadly exists in many churches today.” But that is the opposite view of what a church should be. A church should be racist because the Bible is a racist book. Racism is not a bad word, for the Bible is the history of the people of the Abrahamic covenant – the descendants of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob and their seed … and that is racist.

And what gives Ken Ham authority to make all these statements anyway? His organization is not a Christian church. He is not like a Pope telling its western Catholic churches what they are to believe. But he is instructing churches as to what they are to believe, and his organization doesn’t even claim to be a church!

Answers in Genesis, by its own name, only includes 1/66 of the entire Bible; but its less than that because they only claim to teach the first eleven chapters of Genesis and not the whole book. (And they are wrong on that small portion of Genesis too.) So, they only teach 13 out of 1508 pages of my Bible which is less than 1% (0.86%) of the entire written word of God?

Back to Ham’s article; third paragraph:

“Christian teaching formed much of the playbook for the great civil rights leaders. They recognized that humans were made in the image of God and thus they all shared the same value in the eyes of their Creator: Adam and Eve were recognized as the first couple, and as their descendants, we inherited their tremendous genetic variation that gave us the different skin shades, eye shapes, etc., we observe today. Furthermore, the Bible’s book of Acts teaches that all people are of ‘one blood.’ In the Christian world view, there are no different races but just one.”

Ken said that “Christian teaching formed much of the playbook for the great civil rights leaders” when it was heretical Christian teaching that formed the playbook for the Jewish Communists leaders that led the integration movement in the United States. The Jewish myths teach that all people of the earth are all related to each other because they all come from the same parents.

Using the same book of Jim Jester’s that I used previously, Racism is NOT a Bad Word, but this time I will quote from pages138 and 139:

“The Judeo churches also love to push their false doctrine of ‘one blood.’ This is meant to imply that we are all created the same because all the various races came from one blood…”

“The context of the verse does not need the word blood because Paul is speaking about a God that is unknown to the men of Athens. The Bible is not a book on biology, but rather a history of the descendants of Adam. Therefore, the ‘one’ spoken of is a man, not blood.

The NIV translates this verse:

‘From one man he made every nation of men, that they should inhabit the whole earth; and he determined the times set for them and the exact places where they should live.’

Who is this ‘one man?’ The man is Adam, for the Bible is the history of his descendants…’”

But here is a question that deserves a good answer: What does the phrase “after his/its kind” mean in the first few chapters of Genesis? It is not stated that only a single pair of animals was created of each kind; on the contrary, the words, “let the waters swarm with living beings,” (Genesis 1:21) seem rather to indicate that the animals were created, not only in a rich variety of genera and species, but in large numbers of the same kind. Various genera and species of birds, fishes, and insects were from the beginning distinct, and they don’t mate out of kind, but then mankind is granted the privilege of marrying outside their kind?

Back to Ham’s article; fourth paragraph:

“Contrast those beliefs to what society has largely been taught over the past 100 years. During the time of the Scopes trial (1925), a major biology textbook (A Civic Biology’) declared, based on Darwinian evolution that:

‘There exist upon the earth five races…the highest type of all the Caucasians, represented by the civilized white inhabitants of Europe and America.’ The late Stephen Jay Gould (the famous Harvard evolutionist) [who was a Jew] even acknowledged: “Biological arguments for racism may have been common before 1859(the date of Darwin’s ‘Origin of Species’) but they increased by orders of magnitude following the acceptance of evolutionary theory.’ While Christians should not argue that evolution causes racism, we can point out that some white supremacists will use the ‘science’ of evolution to justify their evil racist beliefs, as they declare that some groups have evolved to become more intelligent and advanced than others.”

There are many scriptures that one can use to disprove this paragraph. Ken points out in his quote of the late Stephen Jay Gould, that “Biological arguments for races may have been common before 1859 (the date of Darwin’s ‘Origin of the Species’), but they increased by orders of magnitude following the acceptance of evolutionary theory.” 

Now, who was Stephen Jay Gould? Gould was a Jew who attended Antioch College in Yellow Springs, Ohio in the 1960s. This small school had the reputation that it was Communist when I was in college when Gould went there.

And do you recognize the name “Antioch”? It was named after the Antioch Church in Syria where the followers of Christ were first called Christians and was the church that sent the Apostle Paul out on his three missionary journeys. Gould was active in the civil rights movement(same as King and Shuttleworth and often campaigned for social justice). 

The Christian Connexion sect, which financed Antioch College, wanted the school to be sectarian, but the planning committee decided otherwise. Antioch College was one of the nation’s first colleges to offer the same curriculum to men and women, as well as to admit blacks and operate on a non-sectarian basis.

The Christian Connexion was one of the branches of the broader Restorationist movement of the late 1700s early 1800s (Church of Christ, Christian Church, Mormonism, Millerites, Plymouth Brethren, and the Irvingians (Catholic Apostolic Church), that mostly began as church camps along the Tennessee and Kentucky border, etc.). The Christian Connexion hoped to manifest Christian unity and overcome denominationalism. Many in the Christian Connexion Movement eventually became Unitarians (belief that all humans will be saved).

This strange church draws upon both Jewish and Christian teachings and they believe that Jesus was not divine and that God saves all souls, and everybody goes to heaven. Unitarians today draw from diverse theological and philosophical thought, including from Islam, Judaism, Hinduism, Christianity, Sikhism, Buddhism, Taoism, neopaganism, Atheism, Agnosticism, New Age and teaching of the Bahai Faith. Historically, Unitarian Universalists have been active in political causes like the Civil Rights movement, the LGBT rights movement, the social justice movement and the feminist movement.

The first president of Antioch College was Horace Mann, who is called the “Father of American Education,” who spent his last six years of his life in that office. He partnered with Catharine Beecher, Harriet Beecher Stowe’s sister, to push for feminization of the teaching profession. He died a member of the Unitarian Church.

Back to Ham’s Enquirer article; fifth paragraph:

“As the acceptance of Darwinian evolution has grown, much of society has adopted a belief that the different people groups [races] and their physical characteristics (like skin shade and eye shape) came about through the processes of evolution. But we are not very different. The truth is that the so-called ‘racial characteristics’ are only minor variations among people groups [races] and make up only 0.012 per-cent of human biological variation. Regardless of our sin ‘color,’ we are far more alike than we are different.”

This is very, very deceptive. It makes it seem like the difference between races is not very different because of the small percentage of biological variations. But if one just googles a website like: What’s in a little variation? – Genomic Education Programme he will find that that there is a huge disagreement with what Ken Ham’s says about there being only minor variations among races. There is even an identical variation between humans and animals. 

On the internet there were a lot of comments that man evolved from the chimpanzee because of the small genome difference between the man and the chimpanzee. Hypocritically, AiG argued against the comments made that man evolved from a primate but said nothing about the difference between the races being the same percentage. 

This website (What’s in a little variation? – Genomic Education Programme) said:

“On average if the genomes of two humans were compared, they would be 99.8– 99.9% the same. This sounds very similar, but the human genome is very big so the 0.1– 0.2% that differs includes roughly three to five million differences.”

Back to the article; sixth paragraph:

“Furthermore, there is only one skin color. There is but one major pigment, called melanin. That produces various skin shades of brown, from light brown to very dark brown. That why we depict Adam and Eve in our Creation Museum as middle brown.”

This doesn’t fit what science says. It says that there are 110 skin tones and six different skin colors. This is from Wikipedia.

Back to his article; seventh paragraph:

“What should we be teaching inside our churches and beyond their four walls? For one, point out the common ground of both evolutionists and creationists, the mapping of the human genome concluded that there is only one race, the human race. Science has confirmed we are all of “one blood.”

AiG once again blames the churches for what they have been teaching. They again contrast the evolutionists and creationists and then tell their readers that science confirms “we are all of ‘one blood’”.

Remember, AiG is not a church. And it says that churches should teach what science says that we are all of one race. But there is a lot of disagreement with this sentence. There are many scientists that do not confirm that everyone is of “one blood.” In fact, most Bibles don’t even have this word, “blood,” in them.

What if all the Christian churches taught what AiG say that they should teach: There is only one race, the human race. There is no such thing as interracial marriage. In about a century there would be very few pure white people on the earth. Everyone would eventually be a brown skin color. Isn’t that what the Jewish Communists teach too?

But that doesn’t matter to AiG. They have several interracial marriages among the top leaders of their organization. Race has nothing to do with what they consider to be a “Christian”.

Back to the last paragraph of the newspaper article; eighth paragraph:

“Had generations been taught the correct account of the origins of the different people groups[races], racists[?] beliefs that cause prejudice could have been greatly diminished. It’s not too late to take a bold stand of the clear teaching of Scripture that opposes the sin of racism.”

One of the stories about AiG pointed out that:

1. The Ark has gotten grief for teaching young-earth theories, claiming the planet is only 6,000 years old.
2. It also suggests dinosaurs lived at the same time as humans. Replicas of dinosaurs appear in enclosures alongside lions and deer species on the ark [Noah’s].

But there are many more errors that the article left out; for AiG teaches the following:

• The “clear teaching of Scripture” is that one of the sins is racism even though the Bible teaches racism.
• That Cain’s descendants all drowned in Noah’s flood and were no longer in existence. But they reappeared after the flood. How did this happen if there was a worldwide flood?
• All the Nephilim (giants) drowned in Noah’s flood too. But there were giants after the flood. How did this happen if there was a worldwide flood? Who were their parents?
• There were no other races on the earth at this time either: No Chinese, New Guinea savages, Peruvians, Pacific Islanders, Incas, Caucasians, Negros, Orientals, etc. But they appeared after the flood … how did this happen if there was a worldwide flood?
• That there are many nations that have the story of Noah’s flood worldwide flood, but who wrote those stories, if everyone had drowned except for eight people who were in the Ark.
• Every race on the earth is descended from Noah’s three sons and their wives if there was a worldwide flood. And since Noah’s family were descendants of Adam and Eve, everyone on the earth is a descendant of Adam and Eve too, but only if there was a worldwide flood.
• If there was a worldwide flood, then everyone is related to everyone else. Nothing is racial if that is true.
• If there was a worldwide flood, there were only eight people of the same race on the earth in Iraq 4300 years ago.
• If there was a worldwide flood, all the people on the earth, 4200 years ago, were at the Tower of Babel in Iraq, and were consequently separated by different languages and “somehow” changed into the various “races” of today. If there are records of anyone else on any place on the earth before 4200 years ago, like the Norte Chico civilization of Peru, then this proves that this story is false; it is nothing but a Jewish fable.
• Why does Answers in Genesis stop at Genesis, chapter 11? Genesis 12 begins the story of Abram and the covenant that God made with him and his family. It was an everlasting covenant. That means that it is still in effect. But it is meaningless in AiG theology.
• AiG ignores Genesis 3:15 and teaches that there are no genetic enemies today. But if there was a worldwide flood, that would be true, as all the serpent seed’s descendants would have drowned. Then all races are brothers and there are no genetic enemies.
• If there was a worldwide flood, then there is no such thing as miscegenation (race mixing; even though the United States Supreme Court outlawed anti-miscegenation laws in the United States in 1967), because every person in the world would be of the same race. 

Here are AiG’s own words:

“However, the Bible’s account of the events at Babel confirms that all people are descended from the groups split at Babel (who were all direct, recent descendants of Noah and, consequently, from the first humans—Adam and Eve—who were special, direct creations of God). There is no basis for racism as all people are related and comprise only one ‘race’ of people made in the image of God. Therefore, they are all equal and all equally human.

The idea of races calls us to ask a serious question: if there are different races, then which race did Christ die for? The answer has eternal consequences.”

This is a main point of all their doctrines. AiG argues that one of the reasons that they say there can’t be many different races is what race did Christ die for? They are implying that He wouldn’t die for all the races. 

This would destroy their doctrine, for AiG is a teacher of the doctrine that salvation is available to everyone on the earth: Negroes, Caucasians, Orientals, Hispanics, Pacific Islanders, Indians, Eskimos, Jews, etc. They also are Arminian in their theology, i.e., the person choses to come to God instead of the reverse; just like Wilberforce, King, Jr, Shuttleworth, Stowe, Newton, and Mann, etc. They are not a true Christian ministry for they are teaching heretical doctrines and are not an outgrowth of any Christian church. 

But to the Christian Identity believer that is a very easy question for them to answer. Christ died only for His people: the Adamic race and the people of Israel.

CONCLUSION

Should a church deal with its members or clergy who commit or who advocate for interracial marriages? Should a church be influenced by a “Christian ministry” which is not under a “Christian” church? 

Do you agree with what Paul and Titus did in the first century in the church at Corinth,  or do you believe what the Answers in Genesis 1-11 non-church teaches? Beware of Jewish fables.

Matthew 7:14:  Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.”

AiG believes that “all human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights and should be treated the same way. They are endowed with reason and conscience and should act towards one another in the spirit of brotherhood”; same as the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, Article One, drafted in 1948 by the United Nations; another Jewish myth.

Blessed be the LORD God of Israel.
