Bible Question:
Is God a racist? Please I ask? Can he not use whoever he decides to use or send without discrimination or tribalism? What does Jesus and Moses have in common in thier way of life. Deut17:15 refers to a king while 18:15 refers to a prophet, could they be thesame? Be careful not to condemn who the Lord has not condemed. Please i need answers, please. |
Bible Answer: folawise, No, God is not a racist, nor can He be. It is not one of His attributes. Consider Exodus 15:11: "Who among the gods is like you, O LORD? Who is like you— majestic in holiness, awesome in glory, working wonders?" God is solitary in His being- He is self existant. He is also sovereign as Psalm 115:3 tells us: "But our God is in the heavens; He does whatever He pleases." Possibly you could clarify or expand your question and be a little more specific? I hope this helps. Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |
