Race</h3> <p><strong>Common definition:</strong> A classification of people into groups based on shared physical traits (commonly skin color, facial features), often treated as if biologically fixed.</p> <p><strong>Scriptural parallel:</strong> Scripture doesn&rsquo;t classify humanity by phenotype. The closest structural analogue is the &ldquo;Table of Nations&rdquo; (Genesis 10), which sorts humanity by <em>descent, language, clan, and land</em> - genealogical and geographic, not skin color.</p>
