Focusing on the Ethnicity of the Bible Misses the Point

Christianity is a beacon of profound and universal truths in the vast tapestry of religious discourse.

Yet, amidst its teachings of love, redemption, and salvation, debates often arise about the ethnicity of its central figures and the cultural contexts of its sacred texts. Fixating on the ethnicity of the Bible risks overlooking its fundamental message: that all the earth is entitled to God and faith.

At its core, Christianity is a faith of inclusivity, extending its arms to embrace all peoples, regardless of ethnicity or background.

The Bible's message transcends the confines of any culture or race. Its teachings of love, compassion, and forgiveness are meant to resonate with every human heart, regardless of where they come from.
