[Otto] I don’t really know what the church today sermonizes against. Once we… when we really come to it, all sins seem to have shriveled down to racism.

[Rushdoony] Yes.

[Otto Scott] Beyond that there is no sin…

[Rushdoony] Yes. That is very good. That is about the only sin that is left. And that is an odd thing to choose as a sin, because one of the characteristics of people all over the world has been a preference for their own. People prefer their own families. They prefer their own nationality or their own race, which is entirely legitimate as long as they don’t abuse and mistreat others.

I believe that the world has seen more racism in this century than ever before precisely because we are trying to equalize everything and we are trying to obscure the differences and say they don’t exist. And when you do that, you are going to create a situation where there will be a bootlegged and resentful recognition of differences.

[Scott] Well, you drive underground what doesn’t belong underground. The business of justice, the business of treating people fairly, the business of equality before law and meritocracy, so to speak, of making opportunities open to all, the whole idea of a civilized society is based on the idea of mutual respect. But respect is one thing. A denial of reality is something else. If in order to get along or to placate we have to pretend that everyone has the same intellect and intelligence, the same ability then we have downgraded all intelligence and all ability.

[Rushdoony] Yes.

[Scott] It is usually a question of let’s you and he be equal. Not you and I.

[Rushdoony] Yes. Well, by obscuring the fact of differences, what we have done is to create a climate in which any awareness of reality is gone.

[Scott] Well, it is dishonest.

[Rushdoony] Yes. You are not living in a real world if you don’t recognize differences and say he is better than I am. He is of another color. And he or she is not as good as I am in this particular field where I am good.

From the Easy Chair — Envy [00:24:42]  

In a Sermon by the missionary to the persecuted Church, Dr. Peter Hammond of Rhodesia and now South Africa said in a 2017 sermon;

“Considering how much the Scriptures teach concerning marriage and the many passages forbidding cross-cultural and inter-racial marriage with unbelievers and being unequally yoked it is extra-ordinary that there is so little teaching and preaching on this important matter. Marriage does not just involve two individuals. It involves two families and we need to honor our parents and seek the guidance of our church leaders when we marry. Those who become unequally yoked are being short sighted and they are being selfish. They are neither considering their ancestors nor their descendants nor are they placing God’s Word above their emotions. The first minister I had challenge me on this was (Black-African) Rev .  F. Tibsi, Zulu minister of ???. I heard him preach ‘those who marry outside their race are not honoring their parents, nor are they loving their neighbors as themselves, nor are they loving their children who will belong to neither the race of their Mother or their Father,’ and I thought, ‘this Zulu minister is being more honest than many of the white cowards I had discussed this with.

The Bible teaches that God seeks godly offspring (Malachi 2:15). (Here Hammond cites Genesis 24, 26, 18, Deuteronomy 7:3f and Joshua 23, Ezra 9, Nehemiah 13.) The law of God warns believers from following that which is popular and when you think how much this (inter-racial marriage) has been promoted in the adverts, on the billboards, in the films, in the textbooks, in the churches — when you see how this is so promoted by the world you know it is evil.

(Here Hammond quotes from the Book of Common Prayer on the Marriage Ceremony.)

‘I REQUIRE and charge you both, as ye will answer at the dreadful day of judgment when the secrets of all hearts shall be disclosed, that if either of you know any impediment, why ye may not be lawfully joined together in Matrimony, ye do now confess it. For be ye well assured, that if any persons are joined together otherwise than as God’s Word doth allow, their marriage is not lawful.’

And for 1950 years that was considered in the Church of England to have ruled out the possibility of marrying across racial lines.

But now, at the latter part of the 20th century and the beginning of the 21st century along with legalizing homosexuality, homosexual marriages, homosexual ministers, along with pornography, abortion, and all other men’s evil we have at last discovered that the for the last 1950 years has been wrong but we in this enlightened age have discovered what real marriage is and when the bible says, ‘you shouldn’t marry people of other races,’ it is not talking about that it is actually saying we should not marry a person of another faith even though many of those actually turn out to be frauds as well. Isn’t it interesting, many people believe the spirit of the age on this matter when you know they are lying about everything else.
