Race, Faith, and the Christian Journey with Dr. HC Felder
Manage episode 438657848 series 3520578
Ever wondered how the concept of race emerged and its relationship with Christianity? In this episode Dr. H.C. Felder challenges the notion that Christianity is a "white man's religion" by exploring the origins of race and its alignment with biblical teachings. We uncover the man-made constructs of race developed in the 18th century to justify slavery, highlighting that Christianity has always been inclusive of all ethnicities. Our discussion extends to the Great Commission and the inclusive vision of humanity in the Book of Revelation, reinforcing Christianity’s inherent non-discriminatory nature. We also delve into the pivotal role of Christianity in the abolition of slavery, dismantling misconceptions and highlighting the faith’s foundational belief in the image of God in all humans. By grounding our beliefs in biblical truth, we recognize the inclusive and transformative nature of the Christian faith.
