trial case plessy v furgersion

Good morning your honor, I am Nick Randall, and I am here to argue in Mr. Plessy’s case from a religious standpoint which I hope all of you can connect with as good Christian people. The bible and biblical world are multi-ethnic and racial. Many different ethnic and racial groups, including blacks, were involved in God’s unfolding plan of redemption. All people are created in God’s image; therefore, all races and ethnic groups have the same status and unique values. Interracial or interethnic marriages are sanctioned by Scripture when they are within the faith. The gospel demands that we carry compassion and the message of Jesus Christ across ethnic and racial lines. The New Testament teaches that as Christians, we are all unified together in Christ, regardless of our different ethnicities or races. Furthermore, our central concept of self-identity should not be our ethnicity, race, or color, but our membership as part of the body and family of Christ. The picture of God’s people at the climax of history depicts a multiracial congregation from every tribe, language, people, race, and nation, all gathered together in worship around God’s throne. The Bible does not condone racism, and there is no reason that we, in our good Christian judgment, should be separating people based on race; separate but equal is not equal. It is there to keep the blacks away from the whites when in our sacred text, The Holy Bible, people of all races, ethnicities, and colors were all living together in harmony, and I see no reason why we can’t do what God had planned for us to do all this time. Not to mention that the separate but equal isn’t even comparable, to begin with. If it were, there would be no need to separate at all. Thank you for your time, your honor, I rest my statement.
