Why Do Christians Promote Racial Harmony

Why Do Christians Promote Racial Harmony

1. 'Love thy neighbour'

   • Treat others how you would like to be treated

2. Jesus treated everybody equally

   • On the cross he said to the thieves beside him "Tomorrow I will be with you in paradise"
   • He would welcome prostitutes and theives as his friends

3. The Good Samaritan

   • The Samaritan didn't judge the Jew, he helped him
   • The Samaritan was the better neighbour

4. The Bible

   • "From one human being he created all races on earth and made them live throughout the whole earth" (Acts 17:26)
   • "Do not ill-treat foreigners who are living in your land" (Leviticus 19:33)

5. God created Heaven and Earth for everyone

6. "If an alien comes into your land, do not mistreat him, for you were aliens in Egypt" St Paul, Galatians

7. They believe in equality

   • Part if this is religious pluralism, a healthy view
