One Race, One Blood

To understand what the Bible has to say about race, we must start at the beginning. In this lesson, we look at the creation of mankind. Mankind was created directly by God, in his image, and on the sixth day of history. All people are born into the one race - the human race. We all have a common ancestor, a truth which has great implications for how we view and treat other people.

We are all one biological race. In this lesson, we will see how all mankind is unified by our sin nature and, thus, our need for the Savior. Before we can address the sin problems in our culture, we must examine the sin in our own lives.

Our starting points inform our perspectives on social issues. Racism is entirely inconsistent with a biblical starting point, but it is a reasonable consequence of an evolutionary perspective. We must be careful to evaluate the claims of man according to the truths of God's Word. In this lesson, we will focus on how starting points impact our perspectives and on correcting our thinking to remain consistent with the authoritative truth of God's Word.

In this lesson, we will look at the historicity of the account of Babel. The dispersion from Babel explains what we see in the world today. Our video will answer many of the questions surrounding the tower of Babel and explain how a single population spread out to fill the earth and form all the people groups we see today.

We've sen how all mankind share an origin and a sin nature. Today we will focus on how the Bible view diversity. Genetic variation, along with the history found in Scripture, explains the ethnic distinctions we see today. Even our differences point to our unity as God's creation.

We are inundated with information everywhere we go. How do we know whether or not to believe a source and the claim it is making? In this lesson, we will be using the ASK method to evaluate truth claims. We will examine the authority, starting point, and knowledge of a source, and then determine whether we can accept the claim as reliable.
