Race and Racism, Part 1 (2020.06.21 Sabbath School)

Scripture emphasizes the unity of the human race in the one blood of Adam and the one image of God. The idea of "race" that we have is an artificial, human construct—and not a very good one at that. Overemphasizing lines of demarcation along ethnic or cultural differences takes "boundaries and times" implemented by God for redemption and turns them into occasions for hate and pride instead.
