"Identity":
racist "Christian" fad
From the Fall '92 issue of the Christian
Research Journal (page 20), "Identity: A 'Christian'
Religion for White Racists" by Viola Larson.
This religious movement is uniting many of the white
supremacist groups in the United States. Identity's
teachers consider themselves true Israel and view
the Jews as half-devils and arch enemies. All non-whites
are said to be inferior creations. Identity's religious
views are bizarre and occultic. Their view of history
is often informed by conspiracy theories. Identity's
use of the name "Christian" to promote racism
and violence is blasphemous.
Hate
and Nation of Islam/Black Muslims
"Hate Begotten of Hate" (Part
Four in a series on Islam from Forward magazine [which
became the Christian Research Journal], Fall, 1986,
page 9) by Joseph P. Gudel and Larry Duckworth. The
Nation of Islam (earlier known as the Black Muslims)
with its controversial leader, Louis Farrakhan, is
a faith based on racism and hate which expects that
all of its enemies will soon be destroyed, and that
its members will then rule the world. This article
takes a look at the movement's history, leaders and
doctrines ending with a biblical response.

Theology. Christian Research Journal, 1991:spring:p.27,
by Ron Rhodes. A form of liberation theology suited

influential in the African American community. Ron
Rhodes provides a historical and biblical analysis.
