The basis for charges of racism made against God and His word come from many different directions but revolve around a common theme: the establishment of Israel as God’s chosen people. In this way, critics portray the entire bible as based upon God’s favor of one race over others. Specific examples often cited include:
➤ God’s command to wipe out the Canaanites Deuteronomy 20:16-17
➤ Religious exclusivity and forbidding intermarriage with other nations Numbers 25:1-3, Nehemiah 13:23-30
➤ Jesus’ comments to a Canaanite woman Matthew 15:22-28
To some these are examples of racial preference found in scripture. Let’s see if we can learn a bit more about how God views different races and peoples using His word to guide us.
