Divine Rights vs. Reverse Discrimination-pg. 7
Marital segregation was also instituted among the tribes outside the race of Israel (Ne. 10:30). This protective law kept God's people separate from intermarriage with tribes of other races and cultures. Protective segregation laws help a nation develop with natural ease; it diminishes adverse effects upon a people from outside influences. Through protective national segregation laws, outside races and cultures were prevented from imposing their self-serving and false-god serving ideas upon a knowledge-of-God enlightened, innocent nation. It also prevented the downfall of Israel. These O.T. laws are still theologically commendable and analogically useful concerning protection and provision of the heir. It should be realized that intra and interracial segregation has served God's purposes. These godly laws should not be overlooked or distorted so as to appease what is thought of as civil rights equality. "Equal" can not be construed in the sense of being "fair" if it defrauds or unduly deprives the descendants of the founders. Nor can forced mediocrity induce or substitute liberty--its inherent element of restriction and suppression defeats its purpose. Only removing such imposition (such as Affirmative Action) will allow free enterprise. Governmental super-imposed legalism derived from self-serving, defiant, human proposition can not replace or substitute Biblical and spiritual principles--it will never work. Old Testament laws should be honored, understood, used for guidance, exercised and implemented as a source for construing our federal and civil laws concerning provision of the heirs. (However, as many of us well know, our chaotic government has mocked God's laws, O.T. and NT. It has rejected the virtue and responsibility of protection and provision for the heir in the recent decades.) It is fundamentally necessary and important to honor the promotion and inheritance rights of the descendants of those who established the nation. The re-instatement of segregation would be more socially moral and honorable than oppression of the heir through defiant and aggressive, anti-Biblical, countermeasures such as Affirmative Action and enforced non-segregation. The Biblical law also warns us from marriage to an infidel. Naturally, we should want to marry within our own race. Any woman of a man's preference should be a believer in the Lord Jesus Christ and willing to respect her mate's race [in a mutually protective way concerning racial homogeneity]. Any of our own women should be taught to associate gregariously within only our race, and that it would be a disgrace to her people if she wanted to date outside of our race. These Biblical tenets should apply not only to the Anglo Saxon race, but there should be similar tenets among all races. Each race has its own natural dignity, and opportunity for Christian dignity through faith. However, there is a reservation or exception to this general rule: Of course natural preference and power has its part in life. For instance, an extraordinarily beautiful woman may attract a man to marry outside of his race. [However, it must not be overlooked that homogeneity was established in Ezra. Concerning the antagonist's argument that after the Ezran covenant some Jews married into or descendants of less close tribes of Semitic families does not necessarily violate general racial homogeneity and Semitic genetic purity.] Nevertheless, the spiritual issue demands fulfillment before the natural desire; still, good advice requires that she should be a Christian (II Cor. 6:14-18). Similarly, government must fulfill its required duties (even though it may have many possible avenues) or else it can not achieve God's approval, and if it doesn't have God's approval, then wrath abides upon it. The Apostle Paul had a godly concern about his own people, the Israelites (Rom. 9:1-5). It is a good thing for every person to care about his own race as well as the rest of the world. By the way, I want to emphasize that I am concerned about all peoples and both genders, and their spiritual welfare; it is from the love of God which He has given me. I also realize it is necessary for a Christian not to be high-minded, but to fear; and to continue in kindness (Rom. 11:20-22).
