Scripture Reading: Galatians 3:28
The vast majority of the world, including the Christian world, believes that the words “Jew” and “Greek” in Galatians 3:28 means Jews and then all the races who are not Jewish. In other words, the entire world.
As the Creation Ministries International (CMI) answered the letter from a person who seemed to understand some of the Christian Identity doctrine:
“Leviticus 19:19 was no doubt prohibiting the crossing of horses with donkeys, but given that this law was intended to represent the spiritual separation of Jews from Gentiles, and that in Christ ‘there is neither Jew nor Greek’ (Galatians 3:28), such a prohibition is not binding on Christians today any more than we are prohibited from wearing shirts made of a cotton/polyester blend.
The problem was clearly that the Moabite and Midianite women were causing the Israelites to worship and sacrifice to idols, not the issue of race.”
That is 100% heresy. The problem is race. For no one outside of the covenant people of God were His people. Once individuals from the race of Adam intermarried with the Canaanites or other races, their offspring were no longer God’s people.
All people of other races are not Christians and that is one reason why interracial marriages are wrong. This is true even today. There cannot be a Christian black person or a Christian Asian person or a Christian Polynesian or a Christian mixed-blooded offspring. True Christians are the New Testament pure-blooded sons of Jacob/Israel:
“Ye are the sons of the prophets, and of the covenant which God made with our fathers, saying unto Abraham, And in thy seed shall all the kindreds of the earth be blessed” (Acts 3:25).
