Are All Christians Racist? & Who Really Gave Us the Bible Canon?

What happens when a caller declares every Christian he has ever met is a racist hiding behind religion? Nate fields the charge head-on in this episode of the Ask A Christian Podcast and refuses to let the sweeping claim stand. He points out that the same Bible and the same faith produced the people who ended slavery, then pivots to a deeper question still: who actually gave us the Bible canon? The conversation moves from Satan disguising himself as an angel of light, to why false teachers inside the church deserve sharper confrontation than open atheists, and finally to Athanasius’s 367 list and the Holy Spirit’s quiet preservation of the twenty-seven books long before any later council rubber-stamped them. If you have ever wondered whether are all Christians racist is a fair charge, or who decided which books belong in Scripture, this episode delivers the receipts.

Are All Christians Racist?: The Biblical Bottom Line

Nate dismantles the blanket accusation by noting the historical record. Christians who took the Bible seriously helped end the slave trade; they did not invent it. Scripture itself undercuts racial partiality: all people share one blood from Adam, and in Christ there is neither Jew nor Greek. The same episode then turns to the canon. Athanasius’s Festal Letter of 367 is the first surviving list that matches our twenty-seven New Testament books exactly, yet Nate insists the early church had already been reading and quoting those same writings for centuries. The Holy Spirit, not a later council in robes, is the ultimate Author who preserved the text. For a clear summary of the core beliefs that undergird both the rejection of racism and the authority of Scripture, see our Statement of Faith. Paul addresses the equality of every believer in Galatians 3:28 when he writes that we are all one in Christ Jesus. The charge that are all Christians racist collapses under both history and the text itself.

AI Hallucinations and Handicap Parking

Before the heavier topics, Nate wrestles with an AI that first claims it has no access to the Bible, then invents six verses for a single reference. He finally looks it up himself and lands on 1 Corinthians 2:14—spiritual things are spiritually discerned. Later a caller jabs that churches have handicap parking because God cannot heal. Nate answers with Job: whether healing comes or not, the true follower keeps worshiping. The exchange is pure Nate—patient with the jab, unwilling to let the theology slide, and ready with the next question the moment the feedback stops screeching.
