While it is true in one sense of the word, that there is but one human race, and that this is an important point of contention to argue for when discussing the historic debates surrounding evolution and its adherents past tendency to try and explain the existence of different races, it is also true that "race" is a Biblical category.The Greek word Ethnos is translated in various places in the Bible as a race, tribe, people group, or nation. We see in the book of Genesis that God counteracted the rebellion of man, when he attempted to ascend to the heavens on his own terms, by confusing their languages, which resulted in the separation of peoples who over time would begin to exhibit differing cultural and genetic characteristics. (Gen 11) We also see that in the Gospel Age, God hailed in a reunification of the peoples of the earth, on the day of Pentecost, having overcome the language barrier of disparate peoples by causing each one to hear the Gospel message in his own tongue. (Acts 2) But many would be tempted to make too much of this unification. The unification of peoples that we see on display in the Kingdom of God is not one that abolishes distinctions of race, class, or gender, but one that glorifies it. The work of the Holy Spirit in a Christian's life does not wipe away man's God given personality, talents, or physical attributes. The work of the Holy Spirit sets man's God given traits right, by removing the power of sin and clothing that man in Christ's Righteousness. It is for this reason that, when we look at the heavenly visions on display in passages such as Revelation 5, we see that God is being worshiped for all eternity by members from every tribe, tongue, people, and nation. It is pleasing to God that the reality of peoples and nations prevail into the eschaton.Furthermore, it is a well attested Biblical truth that Christians are not to divide their love equally to all of humanity, but are to order their loves according to Gods word. A Christian has a different responsibility of love to his children than he does to his neighbor's children. In the same way a Christian has a greater responsibility of love towards his countrymen than he does to the foreigner. It is no contradiction to say that a Christian should love the foreigner, and with the very next breath to say that he should love his countrymen more. We take it to be a historical fact that, while the ethnic make up of the People of the United States of America has not been exclusively English, Irish, or Welsh, it has most certainly been predominately European and Christian. We believe that a desire to preserve that historic fact into the future does not constitute a hatred for foreign peoples or of our own native Black Americans, but rather a love for our own people and culture.We were taught by our school teachers and movies not to see race, or in other words to be "color blind," but to do that is to deny a reality that God is well pleased with.We were taught by our politicians that diversity is our greatest strength, but living in a nation with no central cultural and religious ethos creates the sort of cultural conflict and indecision that cripple a nation. We were taught by our pastors that God wants us to love the sojourning foreigner more than we love our own kinsmen, but practicing this policy year after year at the national level has robbed our children of their birthright and future.We want to see each culture and people conformed to the image of Christ, and just as a man cannot be an elder in Christ's Church if he cannot manage his own house well first (1 Tim 3), we should not hope to succeed in Christianizing the world if we cannot reform our own culture, people, and homeland.
