What race are Cretans? They are inhabitants of Crete; this has nothing to do with racism.
I commonly meet people who think that racism is much larger term than just about three main races. Well, "meet" - only through internet.

For example, Samaritans and Jews were also "one race", but they lived in a segregation and Samaritans were supposed to be unclean by Jews.

"Therefore the Samaritan woman *said to Him, “How is it that You, being a Jew, ask me for a drink since I am a Samaritan woman?” (For Jews have no dealings with Samaritans.)"
J 4:9

the holy spirit teaches you the definition of God
I do not agree. If it was true, all Christians would agree on definitions. Which is clearly not the reality we live in.

I may agree that the Holy Spirit inclines people towards better opinions, generally. But not to specifics or to details.

i think when moses married a ethiopian woman it was criticized and those people were humiliated outside the camp

pedophila would fit into the general prohibition against any sex outside of marriage. And marriage in the OT days was done very strictly, their were no child brides etc. unlike later day day, Post Christian Judaism.

Racism would likewise be seen in terms of commandments against treating foreigners harshly, unmercifully etc. As well as the Golden Rule, which origins date before Christ in scriptures from the Pentateuch, Deuterocanonical books, and early Rabbinic Tradition.


Racism itself is a modern construct. The Ancients were not concerned about race but about nationality!

Racism is covered by these:

1 Peter 2:17
Honor all people, love the brotherhood, fear God, honor the king.



Matthew 7:12


King James Version
12 Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets.


Matthew 7:2
For in the way you judge, you will be judged; and by your standard of measure, it will be measured to you.

Romans 12:10
Be devoted to one another in brotherly love; give preference to one another in honor;

James 2:9
But if you show partiality, you are committing sin and are convicted by the law as transgressors

Pedophilia covered by these:

Mark 9:42
“Whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in me to sin, it would be better for him if a great millstone were hung around his neck and he were thrown into the sea.

1 Corinthians 6:18-19
Flee sexual immorality. Every sin that a man does is outside the body, but he who commits sexual immorality sins against his own body. Or do you not know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God, and you are not your own?

Romans 8:7
Because the carnal mind is enmity against God; for it is not subject to the law of God, nor indeed can be.

Look closer at that last one --

1Miriam and Aaron began to talk against Moses because of his Cushite wife, for he had married a Cushite.
...

9The anger of the Lord burned against them, and he left them.

10 When the cloud lifted from above the tent, Miriam’s skin was leprous —it became as white as snow. Aaron turned toward her and saw that she had a defiling skin disease, 11 and he said to Moses, “Please, my lord, I ask you not to hold against us the sin we have so foolishly committed. 12 Do not let her be like a stillborn infant coming from its mother’s womb with its flesh half eaten away.”

Numbers 12 NIV
-------

As you can see, this was rather more than only a humiliation. Only a full repentance could allow any hope.

I'm not clear on what you are asking. In verse 1 they objected to Moses's new wife because she was Ethiopian, and so that's already racism, by definition.

Racism itself is a modern construct. The Ancients were not concerned about race but about nationality!

Ezra 9:2, "Indeed, they have taken some of their daughters as wives for themselves and for their sons, so that the holy race has become intermingled with the local residents."

1 Peter 2:9, "But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people of his own, so that you may proclaim the virtues of the one who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light."

So much for your false claim. Both Testaments!

When we read fully through all the Old Testament we learn why Israel was commanded not to intermarry with the Canaanites. It was because the Canaanites were idol worshipers, and marrying with them could lead people astray from the Lord. This happened to Solomon no less.

It's not really enough to read just one chapter to fully understand that, but it's a start:
Deuteronomy 7 NIV
(be careful to listen to verses 4, 5 and not skim over them)

But this is anything but a requirement of racial purity or national purity. Not at all.

Rahab, the Canaanite from Jericho, became an ancestor of Joseph and Mary, no less!

34 But when the Pharisees had heard that he had put the Sadducees to silence, they were gathered together.
35 Then one of them, which was a lawyer, asked him a question, tempting him, and saying,
36 Master, which is the great commandment in the law?
37 Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.
38 This is the first and great commandment.
39 And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
40 On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets. - Matthew 22

There is no love in racism
There is no love in pedophilia

If you call this love in any form you are referring to the nature of the flesh/devil and not of God.

I think the summaries of the commandments provided in scripture give us enough to figure it out for ourselves.

There are a lot of sins that don't specifically get mentioned. More often than not sins only get a mention when they needed to be highlighted, which implies that pedophilia is not going to turn up because of the general way that the Jewish people treated their children.

Racism in terms of skin colouring doesn't seem to have been much of an issue then or later. There is plenty of ethnic racism, though but wars were fought between ethnic groups so ill feelings would be expect.

For the Christian both of those would fall outside of the category of "Love your neighbour as yourself", so be naturally sinful.

I have responded to you in two posts.. numbers 26 and 27.

Your response was laughter..

Before I comment on your retorts of laughter, without words to explain yourself.. I would like to know how you found them funny.

Could you explain? Then I will understand where you found humor and be able to respond, myself... more in line with your thoughts.
