I can’t help but disagree with this sentiment. If you can’t help but recognise peoples ethnic distinctions, you somehow don’t know the Jesus he does? I’m confused. Did the Roman Christians not notice that their Jewish brethren were Jewish?https://twitter.com/D_B_Harrison/status/1049696399087099911 …
Did Paul not encourage believers to remain within their cultural context, not removing the marks of circumcision or getting circumcised? Did God not originate ethnic distinction at Babel? Did He not weave diversity into our DNA?

If there is beauty to be recognised in the distinction of male and female, I don’t see why we cannot likewise recognise beauty in our national distinctions. Do we apply this ethic consistently? Do not notice that someone is tall, short, slender, plump...

Do we ignore the colour of one’s hair, the colour of their eyes, the shape of their lips? Men have wrote entire treatise on the beauty of a woman they admire, but when it’s brown skin and ethnic distinction we’re supposed to pretend it isn’t there or we don’t know Jesus?

That’s a horrific notion to me and a betrayal of the beauty portrayed throughout Revelation when God draw as a people from every tribe, nation and tongue and the kings of the earth bring the cultural distinction of the nations into the New Jerusalem.
