One Human Race is what God Created! We all have been created in the image of God. We all descended of Adam and Eve. Then the flood wiped out everyone but Noah and his family. Noah’s sons started the world over again. So we are ALL related, we share the same genealogy background.
One Human Race
God doesn’t see color. God doesn’t even judge or look at us by our outside. He looks at what is inside, our heart. See 1 Samuel 16:7, the pull quote.
[pullquote] For the Lord does not see as man sees; for man looks at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart.”[/pullquote]
We all bleed the same and we all have the same organs. We all can be saved under the righteous blood of Jesus Christ. This is talked about in All Lives Matter. Your value is in Christ, not your appearance.
Genesis 1:27 “So God created man in His own image; in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them.” God created us and He created us in His own image!
Genesis 3:20 even tells us that Eve, is the mother of all living things. The Bible also tells us that Adam was the first man. See 1 Corinthians 15:45
One Blood
Even in Acts 17:26, it tells us that we are of one blood. “And He has made from one blood every nation of men to dwell on all the face of the earth, and has determined their preappointed times and the boundaries of their dwellings,” One Blood, we all bleed red!
The word blood in Greek is αἷμα haima (hī’-mä). It means blood as in kindred or refers to the seat of life.1 #G129
Kindred means:2
- a person’s relatives collectively; kinfolk; kin.
- a group of persons related to another; family, tribe, or clan.
- relationship by birth or descent, or sometimes by marriage; kinship
Looking at that Lexicon for the word blood, you can say that One Blood is referring to One Kinfolk.
Racism is something humans made up. It comes from living in a sinful, falling world. But, if you truly love God, you will love everyone just like God loves everyone. We saw racism in Bible times too. The Jews and the Samaritans for example they despised each other. The Jews would walk around Samaria to avoid them. They didn’t talk to them or have anything to do with them. Remember Jesus didn’t see the “racial” barrier. He went to the woman at the well and talked to her. He talked to this woman and gave her the Living Water. He didn’t see race or any other form of discrimination. He saw a soul that needed to be saved.
Quotes on Race
- “We may have different religions, different languages, different colored skin, but we all belong to one human race.” Kofi Annan, a Ghanaian Diplomat
- “Race is a social concept, not a scientific one.” Dr. Craig Venter, head of the Celera Genomics Corporation
- “We must come to the point where we realize the concept of race is a false one. There is only one race, the human race.” Dan Aykroyd, Canadian Comedian
What Scientist Say
Even in scientifically speaking, all human beings in the world today are classified as Homo sapiens. “Homo sapiens (Latin: “wise person”) is the binomial nomenclature (also known as the scientific name) for the only extant human species. Homo is the human genus, which also includes Neanderthals and many other extinct species of hominid; H. sapiens is the only surviving species of the genus Homo.”3
What Answers in Genesis Says
Answers in Genesis states that after the Tower of Babel, is where God created confusion. He gave everyone different languages to speak. See the quote below from AiG. “FROM ONE, MANY All people of the earth descended from Noah’s descendants, who scattered from Babel. “From [Babel] the Lord scattered them abroad over the face of all the earth.” Genesis 11:9″4 This shows that we were scattered around the earth at this time.
Creation Museum and Ark Encounter
During my visit to the Creation Museum and the Ark Encounter, they both have an exhibit that talks about the one human race and being created by God. It gives the scientific to this too. For example, all humans carries the same basic brown pigment called melanin in the skin. Another example they show we all carry Mitochondrial DNA. Plus the verses the two museums use are Genesis 3:20; Genesis 1:26-27; Acts 17:26; Genesis 2:7; John 3:16 – The image in this blog post are pictures of the posters at the exhibits at both locations.
Order of the images as shown on the image above.

- Who’s Your Brother (Creation Museum)
- Human Reasoning (Creation Museum)
- We Are All One Race – “One Blood” (Creation Museum)
- Was the Bible used to promote racism? – Ungodly Prejudice (Ark Encounter)
