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

Are all Christians racist? That’s the claim Nate fields head-on in this episode of the Ask A Christian Podcast—complete with the classic “every Christian I’ve ever met hides behind religion to be racist” opener. Spoiler: the people who actually used the Bible to end slavery might have a few thoughts. Nate pushes back with history, Scripture, and the simple observation that if every Christian you’ve met is a giant racist… maybe the problem isn’t the faith. From there the conversation goes deep: Satan disguising himself as an angel of light, why false teachers inside the church need sharper pushback than open atheists, the Sabbath (for Israelites, not a papal plot), and whether handicap parking proves God can’t heal. Then a long, lively debate on who actually gave us the Bible canon—Athanasius’s 367 list, the early church already using those same 27 books for centuries, and why the Holy Spirit (not a later council in fancy hats) is the real Author of the canon. Praying to saints gets the necromancy/idolatry treatment versus the Mount of Transfiguration (Moses and Elijah showed up in person—Jesus wasn’t texting the dead). A Catholic caller raises dinosaurs, Neanderthals, hominids, and “why us?” Nate lands on the image of God and the soul as the non-negotiable difference, while still holding a literal Adam and Eve. Later: can Christians still sin without being of the devil, the Deuteronomy 22 “grape and pay 50 shekels” challenge answered with the Talmud’s actual practice, and a quick rundown of the rapture (pre-, mid-, post-trib) versus full preterism. Serious theology, zero fluff, and just enough playful irony to keep it from feeling like a dry seminary lecture. Perfect for anyone tired of the “Christians = racists” meme or curious who decided what’s in the Bible.
