I find it contradictory that a missionary would be against such a view. Human reasoning is strange after all.We didn't "misread" your piece.
Your piece just stunk.

I sincerely doubt he is trying to implicate those of us who are decidedly against identity politics. If I read him correctly he is against the notion of things like white supremacy, black supremacy, and the like that was prevalent a generation or two ago and still is around the world. So much insecurity on here, sheesh!
I think you are all talking past each other.

So...is it race...or races of mankind? You seem to write of both and assert one human race even as you speak of the races? A consistency in terms and a definition of how you define those terms would be a good starting point for profitable discussion.Well, given the low level of comprehension displayed in the responses, I thought "misread" was being charitable. It was either that, or lack of understanding of traditional metaphysics as employed in the Creeds, or defensive reaction to taking this errant belief and confession as seriously as other errant beliefs. I had hoped to offer another piece that might clear up misunderstanding of what I actually said, rather than what was assumed that I said. But I suppose now that there was no point in posting it here. Maybe discussions like this are better off outside the Reformed world.
I guess, keep on keepin' on. The Reformed church will beat those evil Social Justice Warriors after all.
What is being claimed is that if one wants to claim that races can be superior or inferior, then one is stuck with the logical implication that races differ by nature (substance).
Well Pergy, I note that Americans write 'color' rather than 'colour', 'honor' rather than 'honour', 'check' rather than 'cheque' etc. Are you part of that inferior American race that does not use the Queens English?First, lots of folks are said to be racist who truly are not. Racism usually just means that you disagree with a liberal or a social justice warrior.
Moderator Note:After being lambasted over the last post, "Why Racism is Material Heresy...", mostly by what appeared to be misreadings of the piece, I've attempted to answer the most persistent question in a follow up post:
