I suppose my regular readers, particularly those who live a heart-led existence, already understand this. All I’m doing is offering some cerebral support for manifest moral truth. For anyone else, I’m not sure there’s anything we can do to help except to assert what we believe and let God use our words for His purpose.
Whenever you read or hear words castigating someone or something as “racist,” you can figure out what folks are up to in terms of seeking to oppressively coerce others into some repulsive and immoral course of action. In other words, it’s rare when the word “racism” appears outside of propaganda. Sometimes I’ll mock the propaganda by using that label on something the SJWs want to protect. Feel free to label my rants as “propaganda” because I’m just as racist as you are.
It’s pretty tough to talk about what God intended us to be prior to the Fall. Anything we might say about it is of necessity parabolic in nature. Genuine moral truth is always expressed in parables, so even if I attempt clinical terminology and description, I can’t avoid using symbolic logic. Human language and cerebral process cannot contain the truth, only respond by embracing or rejecting that truth. But we are left mostly discussing God’s revelation in terms of fallen human nature, because that’s where we are now.
We are hard-wired to be racist. Fighting that is not redemptive because it simply is not possible nor is it God’s will to pretend we can remove racist wiring. It’s just about as goofy as claiming we can remove the impulse to have sex; it operates on that same level of fleshly impulses God put there. It’s how we handle that impulse that can be sinful or redemptive. Redemption is subjecting the perfectly normal human appetites to a structure defined by God in His Word. We channel those things to bring His name glory.
Whatever human impulse lies behind what folks today call “racism” is properly channeled in tribal social structure, God’s design for human society after the Fall. If we aren’t living in a tribal social atmosphere, we cannot claim to fulfill the Word of God. All the bullshit about how bad it is to live that way draws pictures of failed examples, and flatly ignores the vast ocean of good implementations in human history. It’s part of the same truculent and egregious stupidity that decries slavery while building prisons — slavery and prison are morally equivalent in God’s eyes. Ancient Near Eastern (ANE) feudal social structures are God’s idea for human redemption and all the other social and political theories come from Satan.
In our context today, the closest we can come to that divine ideal is the church family. Not the faux democratic or presbyterial or magisterial church organizational styles broadly seen today, but the church as an ANE feudal institution as God intended. Further, because God says that covenant trumps DNA, we don’t actually have to make our churches literal families because the moral covenant relationship is really the whole point. We emulate the ANE tribal society by our covenant relations. We embrace God’s reality and simply regard each other in the same manner as if we were actual blood kin, because what matters is the spiritual DNA we share in the Blood of Christ.
There is nothing wrong with learning how to answer the social propaganda of today, or how to artfully ignore it and assert God’s truth. We can discuss how to implement our natural human tastes over cultural expressions — which is generally the only real issue here — but whatever it is the propagandists mean by “racism” is not a sin. If you come at me with some SJW bullshit, I’m likely to use sarcasm just to shock you into silence.
Anyone with a functioning brain cell knows that the issue is not skin color or other obvious features, per se, but typically associated cultural expectations. If your culture annoys me, I could care less that my dislike offends you. If you want me around, accommodate the differences and be friendly; if I want to be around you I’ll hold myself to same standard. If I don’t want to be around you, there is not a damned thing you can do to force the issue without provoking any number of unpleasant responses from me. In so doing, I will act according to my best understanding of what God requires of me. That understanding descends to my mind from my heart and it’s connection to the Spirit Realm.
Good luck arguing with that, because it’s way above any presumed human authority.
