I realize I’ve covered this ground a few times before… but.. I am seeing so much ugliness from Nephilim and demonic influence, it angers me. Sooo, I’m going to say it again… and if I have to, again and again! Those who claim to “believe in God” apparently don’t, really!
Let’s get something straight right out of the gate. I have said this many times. If you claim the name of Yeshua, if you say He lives in you, that you walk by His Spirit, that you are His disciple, then you do not, under any circumstance, have the right to look down your nose at someone because their skin tone is different than yours. You don’t get to roll your eyes when someone doesn’t pronounce a word right, according to YOUR standards. You don’t whisper behind someone’s back because they didn’t go to college or because their grammar doesn’t match yours. If you do, you are not following Yeshua. You’re following you. Your own pride. And pride doesn’t belong to the Kingdom. It belongs in the pit.
Let’s walk straight into the Word and see what The Father has already made painfully clear. If we’d even bother to listen.
“There is no longer Jew or Greek, there is no longer slave or free, there is no longer male and female; for you are all one in Messiah Yeshua.”, Galatians 3:28
In Greek, that verse says:
“ou eni Ioudaios oude Hellēn, ouk eni doulos oude eleutheros, ouk eni arsen kai thēlu; pantes gar humeis heis este en Christō Iēsou.”
Let’s dig deep into it.
“ou eni” means “there is no” or “there does not exist.”
“Ioudaios” – Jew, someone descended from Judah.
“Hellēn” – Greek, shorthand for the non-Jewish world.
“doulos” – slave or bondservant, someone of lowest societal rank.
“eleutheros” – free, citizen, landowner, or someone with privilege.
“arsen” – male, and “thēlu” – female.
“heis” – one, united in identity and purpose.
What Paul is saying isn’t that we all lose our uniqueness. He’s saying that your social rank, your color, your gender, your nationality have zero bearing on your value in the Kingdom. None. If you’re in Messiah, you’re family. Period.
Now, let’s get a little deeper. The problem didn’t start with the Greeks or the Romans or the church in Galatia. Let’s go all the way back to the Torah. YHVH didn’t wait until the New Testament to deal with this mess.
“You shall not show partiality in judgment; you shall hear the small as well as the great. You shall not be afraid in any man’s presence, for the judgment is Elohim’s.”, Deuteronomy 1:17
In Hebrew:
“Lo takiru panim bamishpat, kaqatan kakadol tishma’un; lo taguru mipnei ish, ki ha’mishpat le’Elohim hu.”
“Lo takiru panim” – do not recognize faces, or in plain English, don’t show favoritism.
“kaqatan kakadol” – as the small, so the great.
“mishpat le’Elohim” – judgment belongs to God.
This is courtroom language, but the principle flows through every part of life. Whether someone is poor or wealthy, dark-skinned or light-skinned, well-spoken or barely literate, it makes no difference to YHVH. So what gives us the right to rank people?
Now let’s talk about speech, because it’s not just about how we look at people. It’s about what we say when they’re not in the room.
“But I tell you that every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment. For by your words you shall be justified, and by your words you shall be condemned.”, Matthew 12:36-37
In Greek:
“pan rhēma argon ho lalēsousin hoi anthrōpoi apodōsousin peri autou logon en hēmera kriseōs.”
“pan rhēma argon” – every idle word, empty, careless, gossip-laced words.
“lalēsousin” – they will speak
“logon apodōsousin” – they will give an account
“hēmera kriseōs” – day of judgment
That means that slick little side comment you made about someone being “ghetto”? That passive-aggressive joke about someone “not being from around here”? That sigh when someone says something “wrong” in a Bible study and you think you’re better than them? You’ll give account for every single one. That should sober us up real quick.
You want to see what kind of heart YHVH honors? Let’s go to James, Yaakov in Hebrew, Yeshua’s half-brother. He didn’t pull any punches either.
“If you really fulfill the royal law according to the Scripture, ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself,’ you do well. But if you show partiality, you commit sin and are convicted by the Torah as transgressors.”, James 2:8-9
In Greek:
“ean mentoi prosōpolēmpteite, hamartian ergazesthe”
“kai elenchomenoi hupo tou nomou hōs parabatai ginesthe.”
“prosōpolēmpteite” – from prosōpon (face) and lambanō (take/receive): literally, face-taking, or favoring certain people over others.
“hamartian ergazesthe” – you are working sin.
“hupo tou nomou… parabatai” – under the Torah… you are lawbreakers.
Let that sink in: showing favoritism based on face, wealth, background, education, or skin tone, is sin. Not a bad habit. Not a personality quirk. Not “just how I was raised.” It is sin, and Torah says you’re a transgressor if you do it.
Now, how about education? Oh, here comes the pride again. Just because you know Greek roots or memorized a few theological terms doesn’t give you the right to puff up.
“Knowledge puffs up, but love builds up.”, 1 Corinthians 8:1
Greek:
“hē gnōsis phusioi, hē de agapē oikodomei.”
“gnōsis” – knowledge
“phusioi” – inflates, swells like a balloon.
“agapē” – selfless, covenant love
“oikodomei” – builds up, strengthens, reinforces like a house.
If what you know makes you condescending instead of compassionate, you’re not operating in the Spirit. You’re just bloated with information. And bloated things don’t build. They just pop like a balloon.
Now, let’s bring this home with the Messiah Himself. If you want to know how to treat people, look at what He did.
“Then Yeshua, moved with compassion, stretched out His hand and touched him, and said to him, ‘I am willing; be cleansed.’”, Mark 1:41
This was a leper. The outcast of outcasts. No one touched them. People threw stones to keep them away. But Yeshua touched him. That Greek verb for “touched” is “hēpsato”, from haptō – not a light brush, but to take hold of. Yeshua grabbed hold of the one everyone else avoided.
So if you’re claiming to walk like Yeshua walked, ask yourself this: Who are you willing to touch? Who do you still keep at arm’s length? Who do you avoid, mock, or judge silently from across the room? Because He didn’t.
I’ll end this first part with the words of the prophet Micah. Short, sharp, and impossible to misunderstand:
“He has told you, O man, what is good; and what does YHVH require of you but to do justice, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your Elohim?”, Micah 6:8
In Hebrew:
“Asah mishpat, ahavat chesed, vehatznea lechet im Eloheicha.”
“Asah mishpat” – do justice
“ahavat chesed” – love mercy/kindness
“hatznea lechet” – walk humbly, quietly, without show
“im Eloheicha” – with your God
If we’re not doing justice in how we treat every person, regardless of skin tone, accent, grammar, paycheck, or past, we are not walking with Him. No matter how many worship songs we sing.
You can’t say you love God and hate your brother. And hating your brother doesn’t always mean violence. It can be sarcasm. It can be avoidance. It can be favoritism. It can be smugness. It can be silence when you should have spoken.
Yeshua died for all of us. He got whipped for all of us. He walked bloody and gasping with a cross on His back, for every tribe, tongue, skin tone, and story. How dare we look at someone He bled for and act like we’re better?
Let’s talk about the danger of what we say to others about people we think are beneath us. That kind of speech, mocking, demeaning, even just “venting” in disguise, is poison, and it reveals what’s already decaying in your heart.
Yeshua made it plain in Matthew 15:18–19:
“But the things that come out of the mouth come from the heart, and those defile a man. For out of the heart come evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies.”
In Greek:
“ta de ekporeuomena ek tou stomatos ek tēs kardias exerchetai, kakeina koinoi ton anthrōpon.”
“ekporeuomena” – go out, flow forth
“ek tou stomatos” – from the mouth
“ek tēs kardias” – from the heart
“koinoi” – defile, make unclean, profane
So when a believer casually mocks someone for their accent, or calls someone “slow,” or spreads some “harmless” gossip about someone with less education or from a different background, it’s not just rude. It’s unclean. Defiling. Like stepping into the Temple with a bloody rag in hand. Doesn’t matter if you sing in the choir or lead Bible studies, if your mouth is spewing contempt, your heart’s not aligned with Messiah.
And oh, how the Scriptures deal with those who look down on the poor or uneducated. Let’s read Proverbs 17:5:
“Whoever mocks the poor reproaches his Maker, and he who is glad at calamities will not go unpunished.”
In Hebrew:
“Lo’eg larash cheref osehu”
“Someach le’ed lo yinnakeh”
“Lo’eg” – mocks, scorns
“larash” – the poor, the one with little
“cheref osehu” – reproaches his Maker
“Someach le’ed” – rejoices at disaster
“lo yinnakeh” – will not go unpunished
So when someone in the fellowship snickers because someone else doesn’t know the Hebrew root of a word or asks a “dumb” question… they’re mocking God Himself. The One who made that person in His image. And Scripture says they won’t go unpunished for it. That’s not me talking. That’s His Word.
Want something even more piercing? Let’s go to 1 Samuel 16:7. You know the scene: Samuel’s looking to anoint the next king, and he’s judging by appearance, as humans so often do.
“But YHVH said to Samuel, ‘Do not look at his appearance or at the height of his stature, because I have rejected him; for Elohim sees not as man sees, for man looks at the outward appearance, but YHVH looks at the heart.’”
In Hebrew:
“Ki ha’adam yireh la’einayim, v’YHVH yireh lalevav.”
“ha’adam yireh la’einayim” – man sees to the eyes, or according to what is visible
“YHVH yireh lalevav” – YHVH sees to the heart
That means your skin tone? Your dialect? Your reading level? Not what He’s measuring. He sees whether the heart is humble, teachable, and true. So what’s our excuse for measuring each other by anything else?
This is where we’ve got to talk about the judgment we pronounce on others, and the judgment that’ll come back on us for it. Yeshua didn’t mince words in Matthew 7:1–2:
“Do not judge, so that you will not be judged. For with the judgment you judge, you will be judged; and by your standard of measure, it will be measured to you.”
In Greek:
“Mē krinete, hina mē krithēte. En hō gar krimati krinete, krithēsesthe.”
“krinete” – judge, decide guilt or worth
“krithēsesthe” – you will be judged
“metroum” – the measure, standard
If you’re harsh toward others because you think they’re “beneath” you? That same measure gets turned back around on you when you stand before the Throne. You judge people as inferior because of their skin or grammar or job? Brace yourself, because He’s watching how you measure.
Yeshua went even further in Matthew 25. Remember the sheep and the goats? The dividing line wasn’t doctrine or eschatology (end times studies) or education level. It was how people treated “the least of these.”
“‘Truly I say to you, to the extent that you did it to one of the least of these My brothers, even the least of them, you did it to Me.’”, Matthew 25:40
Greek:
“Eph’ hoson epoiēsate heni toutōn tōn adelphōn mou tōn elachistōn, emoi epoiēsate.”
“elachistōn” – the least, the smallest, most overlooked
“emoi epoiēsate” – you did it to Me
So when you shame someone for how they speak, or ignore them because they don’t look “put together,” or act like they’re a burden because they’re struggling, you’re not just doing it to them. You’re doing it to Yeshua Himself.
Let me say it again, plain: how you treat the people you think are “less than” you is exactly how Yeshua says you’re treating Him.
Now let’s flip it for a second. What should we do? What kind of heart does the Father want to see in us toward people who are different, people who struggle, people who don’t have the same privileges or polish?
Let’s go to Philippians 2:3–5.
“Do nothing from selfishness or empty conceit, but with humility of mind regard one another as more important than yourselves… Have this attitude in yourselves which was also in Messiah Yeshua.”
Greek:
“mēden kat’ eritheian ē kata kenodoxian, alla tē tapeinophrosunē hēgoumenoi allēlous huperechontas heautōn.”
“eritheia” – selfish ambition
“kenodoxia” – vain glory, empty pride
“tapeinophrosunē” – humility of mind, lowliness
“hēgoumenoi allēlous huperechontas heautōn” – considering others better than yourselves
What kind of upside-down Kingdom math is this? Treat everyone, not just peers or mentors or people who can benefit you, but everyone as more important than you. That includes the person who doesn’t understand Scripture like you do. The person who grew up differently. The one with broken English. The one with darker or lighter skin than yours. That’s the heart of Yeshua.
Let’s go straight to the Messiah’s own words in John 13:34–35. He’s in the Upper Room, washing feet. He knows He’s about to die, and this is what He chooses to say:
“A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another: just as I have loved you, you also must love one another. By this all people will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another.”
In Greek:
“Entolēn kainēn didōmi humin, hina agapate allēlous. Kathōs ēgapēsa humas, hina kai humeis agapate allēlous. En toutō gnōsontai pantes hoti emoi mathētai este, ean agapēn echēte en allēlois.”
“Entolēn kainēn” – a new command, fresh in tone, not brand new in concept, but a deeper kind of love
“agapate allēlous” – love one another (agapē love, covenant, self-sacrificing love)
“kathōs ēgapēsa humas” – as I have loved you, that means wash-their-feet, die-for-them love
“gnōsontai pantes” – all will know
“emoi mathētai este” – that you are My disciples
Yeshua didn’t say the world would know us by our church buildings, our theology, our end-times charts, or how many Hebrew words we can pronounce. He said they’ll know us by how we treat one another. So if someone walks into your home, your study group, your church, if they’re different than you in tone or color or background, and they walk away feeling tolerated instead of cherished… then you just sent them the message that Yeshua’s love has conditions. And that’s a lie.
Let’s call it what it is. That kind of lovelessness is a false gospel.
Now let’s talk about partiality, because that spirit has slithered into the body like a snake wearing a choir robe. People treat the man in a suit and tie like he’s full of wisdom, but the man with work boots and a drawl gets brushed aside. People quote a pastor with a degree, but when a woman who grew up hard brings insight, they smile politely and talk over her.
James 2 (which we already touched on) drives this home, but look at verses 1–4 this time:
“My brothers, do not hold the faith of our glorious Lord Yeshua the Messiah with an attitude of personal favoritism. For if a man comes into your assembly with a gold ring and fine clothes, and a poor man in dirty clothes also comes in, and you pay special attention to the one wearing the fine clothes… have you not made distinctions among yourselves, and become judges with evil motives?”
Greek gives it to us straight up:
“me en prosōpolēmpsiais echete tēn pistin tou Kuriou hēmōn Iēsou Christou tēs doxēs”
“prosōpolēmpsiais” – literally “face-taking”, favoritism
“diakrinō” – distinguish, separate out
“kritai dialogismōn ponērōn” – judges with evil thoughts
So Scripture doesn’t just call partiality “unwise.” It says you’re functioning like a corrupt judge. And what you’re judging isn’t even someone’s heart. It’s their wallet, their skin, their accent, or their education.
Here’s the core truth: Favoritism is anti-Gospel. Because the Gospel of Jesus Christ is forall who believe. Paul makes this unmistakably clear in Romans 10:12:
“For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek, for the same Lord is Lord of all, abounding in riches for all who call upon Him.”
Greek:
“ou gar estin diastolē Ioudaiou te kai Hellēnos, ho gar autos kurios pantōn”
“diastolē” – difference, separation
“pantōn” – of all
In other words, the ground at the foot of the cross is level. There’s no “first class” salvation and “coach” salvation. There’s no special treatment for those with seminary training or the “right” shade of skin. He is Lord of all, or He’s not Lord at all.
Now let’s shift to one of the hardest truths: if we do not love, truly love, those around us, we are not of God. That’s not a suggestion. That’s a dividing line.
“The one who does not love does not know God, because God is love.”, 1 John 4:8
In Greek:
“ho mē agapōn ouk egnō ton Theon, hoti ho Theos agapē estin.”
“agapōn” – loving with action and sacrifice
“ouk egnō ton Theon” – has not known God
John’s saying,if love isn’t coming out of you, you don’t know Him. No matter what songs you sing. No matter how many Hebrew words you’ve memorized. No matter how many Torah portions you’ve studied. If you mock, belittle, or reject anyone because they’re “less educated” or from a different background, you’re not operating in His Spirit. Full stop.
Yeshua came low. He wasn’t educated in the rabbinic schools. He was not born into a poor family. (Remember what the “kings and magi” brought him?) But He did come from “the sticks”, “Can anything good come from Nazareth?” was said with a sneer (John 1:46). And yet… He is the Son of Elohim.
You see what this means, right?
If He came today, we’d reject Him again. We’d say His grammar was off. We’d say His theology didn’t match ours. We’d critique the way He quoted Torah. We’d dismiss Him because He wasn’t “from around here.” That should terrify us. Me? I’d run right into His outstretched arms!
Let’s bring this part home with a word Yeshua Himself quoted from Isaiah, and it ought to shake every believer who treats others with contempt:
“These people honor Me with their lips, but their heart is far from Me. In vain do they worship Me, teaching as doctrines the commandments of men.”, Matthew 15:8–9
Greek:
“houtos ho laos tois cheilesin me tima, hē de kardia autōn porrō apechei ap’ emou.”
“matēn de sebontai me” – “in vain they worship Me”
“didaskontes didaskalias entalmata anthrōpōn” – teaching human rules as if they were divine
So if your doctrine says you’re better than someone else because of the color of their skin or how much they know, you’re not worshiping Him. You’re worshiping your own ego, and it’s empty, vain, worthless worship.
✝️ ✝️ ✝️ ✝️ ✝️
In this part, let’s begin in Acts 2, right after the Spirit fell during Shavuot (Pentecost). You know the story, tongues of fire, wind, everyone suddenly speaking in languages they didn’t study. But have you ever looked closely at who was in that crowd?
“Now there were Jews living in Jerusalem, devout men from every nation under heaven.”, Acts 2:5
Luke doesn’t exaggerate here. He actually lists the crowd, and the Spirit saw fit to preserve the list. Ready?
“Parthians and Medes and Elamites, and those living in Mesopotamia, Judea and Cappadocia, Pontus and Asia, Phrygia and Pamphylia, Egypt and the parts of Libya toward Cyrene, and visitors from Rome, both Jews and proselytes, Cretans and Arabs…”, Acts 2:9–11
You want diversity? That’s ancient North Africa, Asia Minor (modern-day Turkey), the Middle East, Southern Europe, Arab regions, all packed into the same courtyard, hearing the wonders of God in their own languages. Skin tones? All shades. Dialects? Dozens. Customs? Across the board. And what did the Spirit do?
He unified them. One Word, one Ruach, many tongues. He didn’t force uniformity. He brought unity.
And what happened next? Acts 2:44–45:
“And all who believed were together and had all things in common. And they began selling their property and possessions and were sharing them with all, as anyone might have need.”
Greek phrase:
“epi to auto” – they were together, in one place, in one accord
“koina panta” – held all things in common
That means the wealthy weren’t lording it over the poor. The educated weren’t holding lectures over those still learning. The ones who had resources shared. And no one was shoved to the side because they were different.
But that’s not even the peak of it.
In Acts 13:1, we’re told who was leading the congregation in Antioch, one of the most powerful sending churches in the early movement. Read this slowly:
“Now there were at Antioch, in the church that was there, prophets and teachers: Barnabas, Simeon who was called Niger, Lucius of Cyrene, Manaen who had been brought up with Herod the tetrarch, and Saul.”
Did you catch that?
Simeon called Niger – Niger means “black.” This brother was African.
Lucius of Cyrene – Cyrene is in Libya, also North Africa.
Manaen – a man raised in a royal palace under Herod Antipas!
Saul – trained under Gamaliel, a Pharisee, educated to the teeth.
Barnabas – a Levite from Cyprus.
That’s Black African, Middle Eastern, Roman-educated, Torah-rooted, wealthy, poor, academic, and blue-collar, all in one leadership team. That was normal. That was the ekklesia. What on earth are we doing today?
Don’t tell me racial reconciliation is “new.” It’s ancient. What’s new is the divisions we’ve allowed to fester inside Yeshua’s Body.
Now Paul, Sha’ul, he hammered this home over and over. Why? Because humans fall back into tribalism fast. But the Spirit won’t allow it.
Here’s Ephesians 2:14–16:
“For He Himself is our peace, who made both groups into one and broke down the barrier of the dividing wall… so that in Himself He might make the two into one new man, thus establishing peace, and might reconcile them both in one body to God through the cross.”
Greek key words:
“autos estin hē eirēnē hēmōn” – He Himself is our peace
“ta amphotera hen epoēsen” – He made the two into one
“to mesotoichon tou phragmou” – the dividing wall of partition
“katallaxē” – He reconciled, brought together again
He’s not just talking about Jew and Gentile. He’s modeling what the Gospel does, it tears down the walls humans build up. Race, education, gender, status, they become meaningless when compared to the cross. That “one new man” in Greek is “hena kainon anthrōpon” – a brand new human, something never seen before, a people not built on bloodline, but on the blood of the Lamb.
And in Colossians 3:11, Paul says it again, crystal clear:
“Here there is no Greek or Jew, circumcised or uncircumcised, barbarian, Scythian, slave or free; but Messiah is all, and in all.”
Let’s get into that:
“Barbaros” – not just “foreigner,” but someone who spoke broken Greek, unrefined, “uncultured,” looked down on.
“Skuthēs” – Scythian, the ancient version of “backwoods.” Nomadic, rough, stereotyped as savage.
Paul is saying even them.
So when we judge someone by how they pronounce words, or by their background, or we smirk at their lack of polish, we are standing in direct opposition to what Messiah came to build.
You want to know how serious this is to Yeshua? Let’s go to His prayer in John 17. This is the real “Lord’s Prayer”, the one He prayed the night before He was betrayed. He could have asked for anything. What did He ask for?
“I do not ask on behalf of these alone, but also for those who believe in Me through their word; that they may all be one, just as You, Father, are in Me and I in You, that they also may be in Us, so that the world may believe that You sent Me.”,John 17:20–21
Greek:
“hina pantes hen ōsin” – that they all may be one
“hina ho kosmos pisteuē” – so that the world will believe
So our oneness, our unity across color, class, education, culture, isn’t just a side benefit. It’s evidence that the Father sent the Son. Our unity preaches the Gospel. Our division blasphemes it.
Let me say it again for the ones in the back: if people see racism, elitism, and favoritism in the body of Messiah, they have no reason to believe the message we preach. Because we’re living like it’s false.
So where do we go from here?
We repent. Not just privately. Publicly. We start calling out partiality and prejudice wherever we see it. We invite the poor to the front row. We listen to the unpolished voices. We elevate the brothers and sisters we’ve overlooked. We wash the feet of the ones we used to judge.
We stop assuming Yeshua looks like us, thinks like us, votes like us, talks like us. He doesn’t. He came in a form none of us expected. And He’s still doing that.
And if we really want to follow Him, we don’t get to decide who’s worthy of love. We love with no measuring stick. No screening process. No quotas. Because that’s how He loved us.

Shelving truth, calling it reconciliation
The “Church of England”, one of the most historic, global denominations, has officially acknowledged deep structural racism. A recent report revealed that although Black candidates made up 15% of clergy applicants, only 3% were appointed, and Black priests often faced overt racism and were blocked by “English culture” biases1. Even now, they’ve drastically slashed funding for racial justice work, a move church leaders called “bewildering”2.
- White congregations are still silent

✝️ ✝️ ✝️ ✝️ ✝️
The bottom line: this isn’t solved nor healed. And it’s not just a few loud instances, it’s built into systems, embedded in church culture, bleeding into every level of leadership. The “believers” who mock accents, dominate pews, or slip into favoritism, Scripture calls them transgressors.
This is not an accusation, it’s a cry for repentance. The world is watching. They see churches funding less racial justice, educational systems that favor the privileged, congregations where diversity is surface-level but hearts haven’t changed. And they’re walking away, not because they reject Jesus, but because they never saw Him in us.
We need this teaching not someday, not next year, but now. This mastery of Scripture forces the Church to face itself. Without repentance, every gospel we preach rings hollow.
What next? We plant today’s truth roots deeply. We speak widely, Bible study, pulpit, online, from your living room. We challenge the systems. We elevate the marginalized. We live the unity that Jesus prayed for in John 17. And we don’t stop until the Gospel looks like Jesus’ Body, a kaleidoscope of skin tones, accents, educations, all held together by covenant love.
WE TEACH ALL TO “CHANGE YOUR WAYS OR PAY THE COSTLY PENALTY!” No one will get away with their evil ways.
