There is nether Greek or Jew in the kingdom.
>>> What does Paul mean by this though? Does it mean we are no longer to have different races with racial distinctions and separations? Manifestly no.
Rom_9:3 For I could wish that myself were accursed from Christ for my brethren, my kinsmen according to the flesh: (KJV)
Paul is especially concerned about his race's salvation.
Rom_1:16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.
Rom_2:9 Tribulation and anguish, upon every soul of man that doeth evil, of the Jew first, and also of the Gentile;
Rom_2:10 But glory, honour, and peace, to every man that worketh good, to the Jew first, and also to the Gentile: (KJV)
There remains a type fo Israelite supremacy in the New Covenant. The Gospel was to go to the Israelites first and then to the rest of the nations because they remain God's biological chosen people. Which is why when Yeshua establishes his Millennial Reign and then the New Heavens and the New Earth, Jerusalem will be the world's capital.
Rom 3:1 What advantage then hath the Jew? or what profit is there of circumcision?
Rom 3:2 Much every way: chiefly, because that unto them were committed the oracles of God. (KJV)
The Jewish race has an advantage over other races.
Rev 21:24 By its light will the nations walk, and the kings of the earth will bring their glory into it,
Rev 21:25 and its gates will never be shut by day—and there will be no night there.
Rev 21:26 They will bring into it the glory and the honor of the nations. (ESV)
Here we see a detailed example of racial and national distinctions and separations with their borders being maintained in the Kingdom:
Isa 19:18 In that day shall five cities in the land of Egypt speak the language of Canaan, and swear to the LORD of hosts; one shall be called, The city of destruction.
Isa 19:19 In that day shall there be an altar to the LORD in the midst of the land of Egypt, and a pillar at the border thereof to the LORD.
Isa 19:20 And it shall be for a sign and for a witness unto the LORD of hosts in the land of Egypt: for they shall cry unto the LORD because of the oppressors, and he shall send them a saviour, and a great one, and he shall deliver them.
Isa 19:21 And the LORD shall be known to Egypt, and the Egyptians shall know the LORD in that day, and shall do sacrifice and oblation; yea, they shall vow a vow unto the LORD, and perform it.
Isa 19:22 And the LORD shall smite Egypt: he shall smite and heal it: and they shall return even to the LORD, and he shall be intreated of them, and shall heal them.
Isa 19:23 In that day shall there be a highway out of Egypt to Assyria, and the Assyrian shall come into Egypt, and the Egyptian into Assyria, and the Egyptians shall serve with the Assyrians.
Isa 19:24 In that day shall Israel be the third with Egypt and with Assyria, even a blessing in the midst of the land:
Isa 19:25 Whom the LORD of hosts shall bless, saying, Blessed be Egypt my people, and Assyria the work of my hands, and Israel mine inheritance. (KJV)
Even in the Kingdom national and ethnic distinctions and separations with their own governments.
Tit 1:12 One of the Cretans, a prophet of their own, said, "Cretans are always liars, evil beasts, lazy gluttons."
Tit 1:13 This testimony is true. Therefore rebuke them sharply, that they may be sound in the faith, (ESV)
Paul made a racial slur.
Jas_1:1 James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, to the twelve tribes which are scattered abroad, greeting.
Rev 7:4 And I heard the number of them which were sealed: and there were sealed an hundred and forty and four thousand of all the tribes of the children of Israel.
Rev 7:5 Of the tribe of Juda were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Reuben were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Gad were sealed twelve thousand.
Rev 7:6 Of the tribe of Aser were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Nepthalim were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Manasses were sealed twelve thousand.
Rev 7:7 Of the tribe of Simeon were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Levi were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Issachar were sealed twelve thousand.
Rev 7:8 Of the tribe of Zabulon were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Joseph were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Benjamin were sealed twelve thousand.
Rev 21:12 And had a wall great and high, and had twelve gates, and at the gates twelve angels, and names written thereon, which are the names of the twelve tribes of the children of Israel: (KJV)
Israel with its Tribes still exists and they are still important.

2. The traditional Racialist explanation for the origin of the 3 human races is that Yahuwah sovereignly caused Shem, Ham and Japheth to be born with their distinct race’s characteristics. Distinct race and ethnicity was intended by God before Babel, thus it was not a consequence of sin. Just as God sovereignly caused the peoples of Genesis 11 to speak different languages he caused these racial traits between Shem, Ham and Japheth. The Pseudo-Biblical Christian Right has no explanation as to how the races came to be. If they admit that Shem, Ham and Japheth are the Fathers of the 3 great races, they must admit this was Yahuwah’s design because these men were born before the flood. They must also then admit that their integration policies are thereby destroying Yahuwah’s original design and will.
3. Also, the Bible says that after the flood, yet before the Tower of Babel
[9], Yahuwah divided the earth in the days of Peleg.
[10] Thus God’s intention for man to be separate was not a result of the sins at Babel. It was God’s intention all along, just like distinct races were intended by God all along.
4. Yahuwah’s curse of [Canaan
and his blessing Shem and Japheth]
[11] proves that Yahuwah is a Racialist and that he does not affirm Universal Equality.
[. . .]
6. As a general principle, Israel served as an example of nationhood that the rest of the nations were supposed to emulate.
[12] In Deut. 17 rulers were to be chosen among the ethnicity of Israel.
[13] In Deut. 23 we are faced with heavy racial prioritization in Israel’s assemblies. Non-Israelites were called strangers or sojourners and were to be treated with courtesy and fairness.
[14] However, so far from proclaiming the merits of diversity, Yahuwah proclaimed that he would send foreigners to sap the wealth of Israel if they disobeyed him.
[15]
7. Yahuwah denied the principles of universal equality among mankind when he ordained ethnic Israel, the Hebrew race, as his chosen people,
above the peoples of other nations.
[16] This supremacy is recognized in the Renewed Covenant as well.
[17]
8. The Greek word for
nation in both the Tanach and the Renewed Covenant is
ethnos. This is at the root of our word
ethnicity. Ethnicity has been the foundational principle upon which all human nationhood has been understood. How else do you define a nation without an ethnic group of people living upon a specific geographical location?
[18]
9. In Romans 9:3 the apostle Rav Shaul proclaims his abiding racialism stating,
“For I could wish that I myself were accursed, separated from Christ for the sake of my brethren, my kinsmen according to the flesh”. And again at 16:7
“Greet Andronicus and Junias, my kinsmen and my fellow prisoners, who are outstanding among the apostles, who also were in Messiah before me.” And again at 16: 21
“Timothy my fellow worker greets you, and so do Lucius and Jason and Sosipater, my kinsmen”.
10. We read in Rev. 21:24
“the nations of them which are saved shall walk in the light of it (heavenly Jerusalem): and the kings of the earth do bring their glory and honour into it.” Here we have the existence of distinct nations, thus distinct ethnicities in the time of the news heavens and the new earth! Messiah did not come to heal these supposed fractures in humankind. These distinctions are indicative of a Utopia, not of decline. Moreover, if Yah intended for the Renewed Covenant to abrogate the principles of Gen. 9-11, and the people at Pentecost to amalgamate into one body politic, then he would have caused them to start speaking one language, as in the days of the Tower of Babel.
BUT HE DIDN’T!
11. If someone argued that our resurrected body will not have a distinct race I wonder, is it not going to have a distinct gender? If not, how is this not blatant Neoplatonism and Gnosticism? This is one of my many curiosities into the Gnostic essence of Christian Theology.
12. The great Puritan Matthew Poole, in his
Synopsis Criticorum, the greatest synopsis of all Biblical commentaries in the history of the world, affirmed the existence of other sub-races besides the one human race, in
The Exegetical Labors of the Reverend Matthew Poole Translated by the Rev. Steven Dilday, Volume 1: Genesis 1-9, “The Greeks recognize Iapetus, that is, Japheth, as the originator of their race
[19]…And if it is likely that the Assyrians deified Nimrod, a foreigner, by the name of Jupiter Belus, why would not the Libyans also consecrate Ham, the progenitor of their own race, by the name Jupiter Hammon?”
[20]
Some try to use Malachi 2:10 to avoid the existence of distinct races but the verse is clearly talking about the Hebrew tribe and their specific ordination from their Father Abraham. It has nothing to do with Universalism or Cosmopolitanism.
13. The Christian Doctrine of the Trinity is connected to Communism.
[21] The Triune God doctrine teaches an absolute egalitarianism with no private property to buttress the Absolute Simplicity of the divine essence.
14. If the book of Galatians destroyed ethnic distinctions, then it by definition destroyed nations, the
ethnos. The Neoplatonic and Eastern Orthodox principle of Huperousia is connected to this. You lose your distinction as a race. You are dissolved. This is monad thinking, it is connected to the Philosophy and the Politics of the late Roman Empire which the Catholic Church inherited after Rome’s Fall.
15. In recent history, Multiculturalism resulted in intense racial conflict in Yugoslavia, the Soviet Union, Chechnya, Abkhazia, Bosnia, Dagestan, and Czechoslovakia. It is fomenting massive hatred and violence in this country. Will we see race war?
The famous Thomas Sowell is even convinced we will.
16. The anti-racists have no explanation for the huge supremacy Jews and especially white Europeans have with the history of technology and economics. The Asians are also advanced but the Africans have done nothing but infuse cultural degeneration in Western Civilization. They couldn’t even figure out how to build a sea worthy vessel or a bridge before they left Africa. Obviously the differences in these peoples are real and obviously the races are not equal in intellectual ability.
17. Gen. 9-11 lays the groundwork for all of the Bible and human life. The Renewed Covenant does not need to speak to racial issues, just like it does not speak to Consanguinity, Bestiality, etc. These issues were dealt with in the Torah and do not need to be repeated in the Renewed Covenant. That is why Paul does not mention racial issues much.
18. Schwertley is operating off of a conflation between church and state. One-ness in Messiah refers to religion and spirituality. Our racialism pertains to the secular realm (which is not free form religious influence but logically distinct and functionally distinct).
19. The word
Racism is used 19 times in Schwertley’s work. A term that he cannot use because he believes there is only one race. (P.S. The term
racist is communist.
[22]) Therefore, according to him, there does not even exist anything called interracial marriage because there is only one race.
20. In Gal 3:28 Rav Shaul was simply stating that race or gender does not bar one from entering the Covenant of Abraham, via Messiah. Theonomy Resources nor Schwertley answer the problem with the male and female. If this passage is doing away with racial distinctions it is doing away with gender distinctions. It follows very clearly then that women can become Elders and marry each other. This is why liberal denominations have flourished so well in our post racial society: by taking these anti-racial interpretations of Rav Shaul and the Law. Be consistent guys; Let women be preachers and let gays marry. That is the consistent logical implication of your beliefs. Also this passage would only speak to those who are in Messiah. What of those outside of him? Do they get de-racialized because of Messiah too? Do we have the Eastern Orthodox Christus Victor Universal atonement raising its head here? Thus, the context here is not secular and racial. It is ecclesiastical. Yehoshuwah dissolves the significance of race as it regards covenant status. He does not dissolve race itself. Thus the Christian anti-racist position conflates substance with mode and circumstance.
21. Theonomy Resources repeats the confusion that Kinism means you hate people because they are a different race than you are. I am still waiting for the argument why that is the case. I don’t believe it. I am also still waiting for the logical connection between being friends with people of other races and an obligation to miscegenation with them.
22. The anti-racist position operates off of a Plotinian dialectic. Why do they give us only the options of Universalism or Sectarian racial hatred? Why can’t the tribes remain separate in order to keep the peace between the races?
23. The anti-racists have no answer to the anti-white violence whites have suffered recently in modern civilization.
[23]
24. The anti-racist Christian position is overly unrealistic and most importantly, unbiblical regarding group relations. The Torah, which Messiah clearly stated he did not come to abolish
[24], protected Israel tribally by demanding Israel to distinguish between personal dynamics and group dynamics. Lev. 19:17-18, which is substantially repeated in Luke 6:27-36 and Mat. 5:43-44 which teaches us to love our personal enemies; that is, those who have personal grievances with us or we with them. However, with reference to group dynamics, Yah commanded Israel to be ruthlessly vengeful with those groups of people who were historical threats to Israel whether they were foreign or domestic.
[25]
25. Brian Schwertley thought he had refuted the Kinist position when he listed many passages in the Bible that defend the proposition that Yah allowed the Absorption of Non-Jews into the Covenant People with Full Rights as God’s People. The problem is we are not talking about people being absorbed into our race. We are talking about the destruction of the Japhethite race.
26. Ephesians 2 and the middle wall is not talking about the Ceremonial Law. This is Christian mythology. It is not referring to the ceremonial law.
[26]" (26 Theses in Defense of Ethnic Nationalism and Westphalian Sovereignty)
The anti-Kinist position is not biblical but is Marxist Commuism, plain and simple.
