Those are quite the leaps in logic. Pointing out what Ryan Dumperth and Corey Mahler get wrong both Scripturally and scientifically is not denying Christ. Nor is it claiming our ancestors are damned.
What proof do you have that "virtually all of human history ever believed or practiced" was racism? I know that Ryan Dumperth and Corey Mahler make this claim but it simply is not true which is why they do not provide any evidence for the claim. It is why they get laughed out of the room in serious discussion. It is why no serious Bible translator or historian takes them seriously. They look for confirmation bias and disregard any and all evidence to the contrary. When they try to read "ἔθνος" as "race" then it means that Christianity is a race. Which totally undercuts their arguments about race.
The concept of race that Corey and Ryan imbibe in did not develop until after the Reformation. And even then there were loud voices of dissent about it. Ancestry does not bear on morality or religiosity. You seem weirdly obsessed with mine?
I do not believe I am more enlightened than my ancestors. You are again trying to read into what was said instead of dealing with what was said.
Finally, why wouldn't all dogs be equal? That comment makes zero sense.
The failure in your logic is showing. Chihuahuas and huskies are different, but one is not more or less equal than the other. They both have equal intrinsic value. There is one race, the human race - we are all descended from Adam and Eve and then again from Noah and his wife. We are all made in the image of God, we are all only redeemed by the blood of Jesus - who was born a Jew, and we are all sanctified by the same Holy Spirit. The Nigerian you look down on is just as equal as you. And through faith in Jesus Christ you would have more in common with a Christian who was born a Haitian than your direct ancestor who was a demon worshipping pagan.
I will be praying for you, Wade, that the love of Christ will come into your heart so you may love all your neighbors as yourself as Christ has loved you.
