What Does the Bible Say About Racism?
Key Scriptures and spiritual guidance on racism
Raamattu käsittelee rasismia monissa kohdissa, korostaen Jumalan luomien kaikkien ihmisten samanarvoisuutta. Raamatun opetuksen mukaan Jumala ei suosi ketään ihonvärin perusteella, vaan rakastaa ja hyväksyy kaikki tasa-arvoisesti. Kristillinen usko korostaa lähimmäisenrakkauden periaatetta, joka velvoittaa kohtelemaan kaikkia ihmisiä rakkaudella ja kunnioituksella, riippumatta heidän taustastaan tai ulkonäöstään.
