I absolutely abhor Christianity being labeled “The White Man’s Religion”.

It puts a single face on the Faith and by extension, salvation. Let me explain. When this phrase  implies that the only way Christianity can be known, is through the White Man. Only the White Man can know it and God, and only he has a big hand in spreading it on the Earth. So much so, the only way others can know it and God is if the white man’s involved in some sort of way, which further implies that the idea of salvation can also only be achieved if the White Man is involved. This contradicts Scripture, by implying that mankind (of any race) plays a main role in the deliverance of souls as a median. Which is in contradiction with:

John 14:6
“Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.”

John 6:44

No man can come to me, except the Father which hath sent me draw him: and I will raise him up at the last day.

Ephesians 2: 8-9

For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast.

(Especially that last sentence.)

Now, white people can testify and minister if they’re moved to by the Spirit, certainly, but at the end of the day, the white man, or any man really, does not and cannot save people. God saves people through his son Jesus and it’s up to Him to decide how and when He reveals Himself. It doesn’t matter how many churches, crosses, or sites you build. It doesn’t matter how many times you quote the Bible to someone, how many stock prayers you recite, or how many hymns you sing, at the end of the day, it is God who reveals Himself through these things and it’s up to individuals themselves to answer or ignore His call. Which is why this phrase (TWMR) is also a slap in the face to those of other races who had a genuine spiritual revelation and relationshipwith Him on their own. It’s common to have these people be denounced as traitors, suck-ups, brainwashed, or idiots. Other times they’re simply ignored because they don’t fit within certain narratives.

TWMR also ignores history and places everything in a American/European viewpoint. Which ticks me off considering Christianity has its origins and history in the Middle East and parts of Africa but has since then spread throughout the world, and whose main figure was an ethnic Jew. The oldest (possibly) Christian churchcurrently found is the Duras-Europos Church in Syria. Ethiopia also has a church older than most European ones, and has a long an incredibly devout Christian history despite being the only African nation to never be colonized by European powers. It also ignores saints and martyrs from other places who were, and still are, killed for their faith simply because they don’t fit the stereotype of “dE eBiL wHyTe MeN” pushing their beliefs onto others. (It also shows how ignorant and callous “progressive” Europeans/Americans can be when they cheer or mock the deaths of “POCs” as long as their part of a group they don’t like, i.e. Christians.)

The TWMR moniker also makes it seem like only white people can follow the Faith, and thus, be saved because of how exclusive it is. Which is incredibly heretical. One of the core beliefs of Christianity is that anyone can come to Christ. ANYONE.

Galatians 5:26-29
For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus. For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ. There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus. And if ye be Christ’s, then are ye Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise.

And

John 3:16-18
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.

EVERYBODY has a chance. EVERYBODY.

Now don’t get it twisted. I’m not ignorant of how Christianity became known to others, especially by those seeking to use it for abuse. I don’t blame these people, be they in the past or now, who have a strong aversion if not outright hatred for the Faith because of cruel people using it for their own selfish desires. I myself loathe these same people and find them to be a canker sore on the Christianity as a whole. Every time I hear a story or see coverage of a “”“Christian”“”“ doing something despicable and still claim to be of God, or worse, try to use the Bible of justification, I wanna throw my TV out the window in rage. I am not all downplaying the suffering that these people’s victims suffered; and it’s equally disgusting when the Church and other believers don’t call it out when they should. Worse, they try to hand wave it away. These criminals should absolutely be judged by both the Church according to God’s Law and the Law of Man and be punished as such by both.

The Bible mentions fake Christians and abusers of the Word frequently:

Matthew 15:8 These people honor me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me.

Titus 1:16 They claim to know God, but they deny him by what they do. They are detestable, disobedient, and unfit to do anything good.

Matthew 12:34 You brood of vipers, how can you who are evil say anything good? For the mouth speaks what the heart is full of.

Matthew 7:21-23 “Not
everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of
heaven, but the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven.
On that day many will say to me, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in
your name, and cast out demons in your name, and do many mighty works in
your name?’ And then will I declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from me, you workers of lawlessness.’

2 Corinthians 11:13-15 For
such men are false apostles, deceitful workmen, disguising themselves
as apostles of Christ. And no wonder, for even Satan disguises himself
as an angel of light. So it is no surprise if his servants, also,
disguise themselves as servants of righteousness. Their end will
correspond to their deeds.

Jude 1:4 For certain people have crept in
unnoticed who long ago were designated for this condemnation, ungodly
people, who pervert the grace of our God into sensuality and deny our
only Master and Lord, Jesus Christ.

2 Peter 2:1 But there were false prophets also among the people, even
as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in
damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring
upon themselves swift destruction.

Romans 16:18 For they that are such serve not our Lord Jesus Christ, but their own belly; and by good words and fair speeches deceive the hearts of the simple.

2 Timothy 4:3-4 For the time is coming when people
will not endure sound teaching, but having itching ears they will
accumulate for themselves teachers to suit their own passions, and will
turn away from listening to the truth and wander off into myths.

If you are a Christian of any race, gender, status, or what have you; and someone is not acting as they should according to the Faith,

CALL. THEM. OUT.

Not only to put them in check for their sake and others’, but because we are commanded to:

1 Corinthians 5:

9-13 For what have I to do to judge them also that are without? do not ye judge them that are within? But them that are without God judgeth. Therefore put away from among yourselves that wicked person.

Galatians 6:1 Brothers, if anyone is caught in any transgression, you who are spiritual should restore him in a spirit of gentleness. Keep watch on yourself, lest you too be tempted.

Matthew 18:15-17 If
your brother sins against you, go and confront him while the two of you
are alone. If he listens to you, you have won back your brother.
But if he doesn’t listen, take one or two others with you so that
‘every word may be confirmed by the testimony of two or three witnesses.
If, however, he ignores them, tell it to the congregation. If he also
ignores the congregation, regard him as an unbeliever and a tax collector.

1 Corinthians 5:1-2
It is actually reported that there is sexual immorality among you, and
of a kind that is not tolerated even among pagans, for a man has his
father’s wife. And you are arrogant! Ought you not rather to mourn? Let him who has done this be removed from among you.

Galatians 2:11-14 But
when Cephas came to Antioch, I opposed him to his face, because he
stood condemned. For before certain men came from James, he was eating
with the Gentiles; but when they came he drew back and separated
himself, fearing the circumcision party. And the rest of the Jews acted
hypocritically along with him, so that even Barnabas was led astray by
their hypocrisy. But when I saw that their conduct was not in
step with the truth of the gospel, I said to Cephas before them all, “If
you, though a Jew, live like a Gentile and not like a Jew, how can you
force the Gentiles to live like Jews?”

Lastly, I also have strong issues with the common depiction of Jesus as white. For starters, He wasn’t. He wasn’t black either, as many people insist, but he certainly wasn’t white either. He was a Jew from the land of Israel. But at the end of the day, it’s all pointless anyway. Being a certain race doesn’t magically make that race any closer to Him. They don’t get brownie points or a headstart over anyone else. They still have to stand before God on Judgement Day just like everyone else. All that matters was that Jesys was born, He lived and taught us, he died for our sins, He was resurrected, and will return in the New Heaven and Earth. That’s literally all that matters, everything else is cosmetic. Whatever shell He came in was just that, a shell. It was merely for interacting with this world and it’s people before ascending once again. I don’t give a damn if He was purple, polka-dotted, with rainbow hair. I don’t care if He looked like Homey D. Clown. All that matters, is that He gave His life for all of us and asks Him to follow Him in return.

Nothing else matters.

TL;DR

– “The White Man’s Religion” crap disregards history, ignores other races, is absolute heathenry in multiple ways and gives me bizarro Manifest Destiny vibes (often pushed by regressives).

– Call out false believers and heretics.

– Believe in Jesus, He died for everyone. Yes, even that one coworker you don’t like.

Christianity: Come for the Bread, stay for the Word. Everyone welcomed.
