On the Difference Between Culture and Identity.

There is a difference between culture and identity. Cultures, like identities, can be strong or weak depending on how sinful they are, and what distinguishes them is that they are prone to be more dynamic than identities. Dynamism in Culture, which is to say “Way of life,” is a plus, but when it comes to one’s identity, it is a bad thing. There is not a single, overarching, all-encompassing, White identity, so why should there be a Black one. A person’s identity is completely controlled by their belief system which is firmly rooted, in most cases, in religion. People that don’t believe in God, or assuming that they do, don’t actually love Him, have weak identities, and as such can get caught up in the world with all its game and end up completely wrecked. People, even all Israel, wind up crushed by heaven because they have no faith. In life, you either both loved your enemies and prayed for them or you didn’t; either you were a Christian or you were not. As for me and my future house, we shall serve the Lord and His saints.

Yours in Christ,
