The Bible, Race, and Racism

You are well aware that it is against our law for a Jew to associate with or visit a Gentile. But God has shown me that I should not call anyone impure or unclean…I now realize how true it is that God does not show favoritism but accepts from every nation the one who fears him and does what is right.
–Apostle Peter in Acts 10:28, 34-35 (NIV)–

You are worthy to take the scroll
    and to open its seals,
because you were slain,
    and with your blood you purchased for God
    persons from every tribe and language and people and nation.

–Revelation 5:9 (NIV)–

10 And a river went out of Eden to water the garden; and from thence it was parted, and became into four heads. 11 The name of the first is Pison: that is it which compasseth the whole land of Havilah, where there is gold; 12 And the gold of that land is good: there is bdellium and the onyx stone. 13 And the name of the second river is Gihon: the same is it that compasseth the whole land of Ethiopia. 14 And the name of the third river is Hiddekel: that is it which goeth toward the east of Assyria. And the fourth river is Euphrates. 15 And the Lord God took the man, and put him into the garden of Eden to dress it and to keep it.
–Genesis 2:10-15 (KJV)–
A river watering the garden flowed from Eden; from there it was separated into four headwaters…The name of the third river is the Tigris; it runs along the east side of Ashur. And the fourth river is the Euphrates.
–Moses in Genesis 2:10, 14 (NIV)–
