'''Christian Identity''' refers to a system of [[theology]] which is popular among some [[white supremacist]] groups. It asserts that the "[[Aryan]]", or white, people are the [[Israel]] of the [[Bible]], and that the [[Jews]] are not. Identity's doctrines are rejected by almost all mainstream Christians as a [[heresy]].
There are several different versions of Identity. Some of them assert that Jews are literally the offspring of [[Satan]] and that while Adam and Eve were white people created in the image of [[God]], non-white people were created earlier (so-called "Two-Seed" doctrine of Identity). This version of Identity generally asserts that salvation is only available to white people.
Groups adhering to Identity doctrine have included, [[Aryan Nations]], the [[Posse Comitatus]], some [[Ku Klux Klan]] groups, and a scattering of small independent churches such as the "LaPorte Church of Christ" led by [[Peter J. Peters]].
