| Numerous incidents can be found in the Bible that pertain directly to the issue of racism. It can be noted that God does not necessarily use the word racism, so we must define it here as the way that the term will be used in this context. Racism any form of judgment passed from one individual to another because of a difference in culture, ethnicity, nation, tribe, ect. From this definition many things come to mind: the story of Jonah and the whale, one every child should be familiar with; Peter and his dealings with the Galatians in Acts 10 and the entire book of Galatians; the interactions between the Egyptians and the Israelites; or the interactions between the Jews and the Gentiles. These are only a few and are found all over the Old and New Testaments. A few of these incidents are talked about below and some of the others can be found in Appendices B and C. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
