It is a bit of a chicken and the egg argument - did God make Whites more capable of following Him, or are Whites blessed for recognizing God in greater capacity than other races, thus earning more blessings? I would classify it as a mystery. (mysterion) However, what we can conclude, is that it is always God as the root cause of White ascendancy, so no matter what, Whites cannot hold themselves as superior for something that was given to them by mercy. The same goes for Jews (the ones who accepted Christ, that is).
Nothing humans have is actually deserved, but bestowed through mercy and grace, which is why pride is always the deadliest of sins.
Nephon understands these racial differences, but this does not mean one needs to worry about upholding the purity or intergrity of such racial communities. If they were put there by God, why does anyone need to worry about it? God gives, God takes, it's beyond our control and therefore not to worry.
All we need to worry about is our own personal relationship with God, then our Neighbors, then the stranger, then the enemy's relationship with God. Everything else will sort itself out afterwards.
If they were using the terms Whites, Blacks, and Yellows 1700 years ago, then that's an excellent reference point as any other. We may have created more precise measurements of the observed phenomena, but this does not change underlying base observations. The 3 base races are an excellent starting point and largely hold true through most scrutiny, similarly to Newtonian Mechanics.
Never said any of these divisions are artificial, but that they are trivial in comparison to God.
Pagan ideas can be neat, but, it's like comparing a toy soldier to a real soldier. Greek pagans stood out compared to others, but by the end of Hellenistic thought the most intelligent, such as Aristotle, had arrived at the idea of a single God which showed their vast maturity compared to virtually any other group of Whites. It was Aristotle that redeemed the entire Greek race, for example, and showed many more of them could be saved.
Because if one Black can be saved, who knows how many more can be saved? This was the reasoning of St. Nephon. Likewise it is true for Whites or Asians.
I've interpreted it correctly, I believe you did not read me correctly.
Never said any of the above, for example.
Yes, Paul's words do have to do with those things, and it is a reference to the salvific nature of Christ being able to transcend such material divisions.
And the body of Christ are those who have been baptized and grafted into Christ.
I'm surprised you can't see through such hallow statistics. If you could find the murder rate of just Orthodox Ethiopians, you'd find it similar as any White murder rate.
The vast majority of murders in Ethiopia comes from the ever present low-level warfare between Islamic and Orthodox factions battling each other, year after year, village by village. You'll have situations where Orthodox villages will sometimes band together and simply genocide an entire neighboring Islamic village after one too many rapes or murders occurs from their "neighbors."
The same is true in America; if you look at
murder stats of just Chicago, for example, it is 30/100k, far higher than Ethiopia even when counting Muslims. This proves my point; the fact that a nation with constant religious warfare is already more peaceful than Black Chicago is hard proof of the transformative power of Christ on Black populations, especially Orthodoxy.
The only reason an entire country (Ethiopia) has a lower murder rate than a single city (Chicago) can only be explained if the murder rate of Ethiopians is extremely low in the Orthodox parts to bring the average down.
Certainly, they are the ones we must start with and work on the most, since they are our kin. If we cannot save our brothers, who then can be saved? If we cannot love our own people, are we not less than tax-collectors and pagans?
This isn't a Hitler debate thread, we can make one if you want to hammer out more on Hitler. However, Hitler was entirely pragmatic and used Christianity, which was smart, but all of his ideas were materialistic in nature and his adoption of the Iron Cross (which barely looks Christian) wasn't his idea. It was just him being a pragmatic politician keeping to tradition.
As for Hitler being backstabbed, that was entirely his fault for not invading Britain. Hitler was not a good Christian, otherwise he would have crushed Talmudic Britain immediately. Instead he idolized race and believed his "Germanic" British brothers would come to good sense after the fall of France, which was laughable. He doomed the White race due to his race idolization, which proves my point about Pagan movements being abject failures.
Historically, Christian political movements were always the most successful; the failure of great empires such as Byzantium was due to the Catholic backstab and genocide of Constantinople in the 4th Crusade. Otherwise the Byzantine Empire would have preserved just fine. The other great loss of Byzantine territory occurred with the Jewish Revolt under Heraclius in the 6th century, which, again, shows the folly of not obeying Christ enough and casting pearls before swine, turning a blind eye to the Talmudic menace just as did the Tsar Nicolas did at the turn of the 20th century.
