Racism, as it applies to the modern world, may be defined as any or all\u00a0of the following:<\/p>\n
1. The belief that one’s race is superior to all other races.<\/p>\n
2. The belief that one’s race is superior to one other race or some other races.<\/p>\n
3. The belief that some races are better than others.<\/p>\n
4. The belief that members of one’s race deserves special treatment and attention because they are superior.<\/p>\n

5. The belief that people belonging to races other than one’s own should be treated with lesser importance.<\/p>\n
6. The belief that a person should give first preference to members of their own race because they are of the same racial background.<\/p>\n
7. The belief that one should deal cruelly or unfairly with other races because they are different in appearance and thought-processes.<\/p>\n
The trouble with racism is that is ceases to look at human beings and individuals as human beings and individuals with thoughts, dreams, emotions and a need to find God. If Jesus were a racist, we couldn’t be saved. But he wasn’t. Jesus didn’t just die for the people of his own Jewish race, he died for the entire world, regardless of what race, class or creed they\u00a0belong to.<\/p>\n
Jesus doesn’t just answer the prayers of the Jewish Christians; He answers the prayers of all people, regardless of their race or color, as long as they\u00a0earnestly believe in Him.<\/p>\n
If Jesus were a racist, I probably wouldn’t be here today writing this article.<\/p>\n
