Re: Racism is a sin, amirite?

How could you possibly come to that conclusion? Scriptually I'm talking about. If any race, and that a big if, was a chosen race, it would be the Isrealites, not the whites!

Listen my friend, if the white race was the chosen race why wasn't Jesus white? Why wasnt anyone whow rote the bible white? Saying that the white race is superior is complete falacy. We are talking about skin pigment. It's like saying ANYONE WITH BLUE EYES ARE GODS TRUE RACE. That just sounds silly doesnt it?

You truly are thick, aren't you. Jesus IS White. The fact that God loves America and has shed His Grace on Thee (America) from day one is clear evidence that Jesus is White. God is Jesus' father. Are you saying God is a hook-nosed jew?

John 8:12 Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.

Light isn't dark now, is it? He is the light, so the lighter the man, the closer he is to Jesus.

Please forgive me, but that has to be the dumbest thing I have ever heard. Let me guess. The white people with blonde hair the holiest! Gosh, how could I have been so blind.....ok, I'm sorry. but honestly, light and darkness are completely different from black and white skin.

And Ezekiel, why do you think God loves America? America is one of, if not the most, immoral country around. You quoted an old hymn as proof! That is no proof. If I wrote a hymn about God loving Africa, would that make the blacks his chosen ones too. You say i am blind, but it is time to remove the plank from your own eye.

Jesus was born a Jew! I'm sorry to burst your bubble.

The only people ever to have been called God's chosen people were the Isrealites. I'm saying that for what, the third time now?

I'm honestly shocked. You guys seem very dependant on what the Word of God says yet you believe whites are the superior race with no Biblical proof whatsoever, It's astonishing.

Re: Racism is a sin, amirite?

The Revelator,

You talk of Paul. I'm afraid to say that Paul is in part the cause of the early Christian Church. I'll also point out that Paul didn't write any of the books of the new testament. His many letters were referenced, but all he did was start new churches. He did this by himself, and used only his own words to start these churches.

The very nature of religion is to be xenophobic. This is part of the reason the joos fell from grace. Only by following the letter of God's words, can one hope not to fall into the category of hypocryite.

Re: Racism is a sin, amirite?

Pauk addresses I think every epistle he wrote in the New Testament as his own. Are you saying that the Bible is untrue?

Galatians 1:1-2
Paul, an apostle...unto the churches of Galatia:

Ephesians 1:1
Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, to the saints which are at Ephesus, and to the faitful in Christ Jesus:

Romans 1:1
Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ....

Colossians 1:1-2
Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God...To the saints and faithful brethren of Christ which are at Colosse:

Philippians 1:1
Paul and Timotheus, the servant sof Jesus Christ, to all the saints in Christ Jesus which are at Philippi.

Excuse my remark reverand, but have you read the New Testament? Paul opens up every book he writes with an introduction and then continues on with a personalized letter. Look it up yourself if you wish. To say that Paul is not the author of any New Testament book IS SAYING THAT THE BIBLE IS LIEING here. I dont know about you reverand, but I believe the bible is true 100% of the time, not just when I see fit.

I said that Paul did not write any of the gospels. He wrote many letters, and they were compiled and referenced within the gospels. Check it out. While he was moving throughout Europe founding new chruches, the other apostles were writing the gospels. He did however, write many letters to the previous churches he'd founded.

I agree that the Bible is the infallible and Holy Word of God. However, this does raise an interesting question - what if God is lying to us? Do you believe that God can lie?

Re: Racism is a sin, amirite?

The Pauline epistles are the thirteen or fourteen letters in the New Testament of the Christian Bible traditionally believed to have been written by the apostle Paul. Among them are some of the earliest extant Christian documents. They provide an insight into the beliefs and controversies of formative Christianity and, as part of the canon of the New Testament, they have also been, and continue to be, hugely influential in Christian theology and ethics.

Re: Racism is a sin, amirite?

Forgive me Dr. Davidson but you did say and I quote, "Paul didn't write any of the books of the new testament."

You didnt say just the gospels. If you meant the gospels but accidentally said new testament, then thats fine. But you need to know that Paul did write the majorit of the books in the NT.

Oh yeah, of course God does not lie. He is without sin.

Touche... I did make a mistake. I am by no means perfect. I meant to say gospels that first time.

If that was true, you'd have no arguments with our pastors.

Yeah, but the only problem is interpretation. You see people look at Scripture and interpret it different ways. Thats why we have so many different denominations under the umbrella of Christianity. I agree with your pastors on some things, other things I disagree with. But I know that we both believe the Bible is 100% accurate. It is simply a matter of interpretation.

[Mrs. Mary Whitford]

Re: Racism is a sin, amirite?

There is nothing to interpret. God had it written in plain old English so that we could all read His plain-spoken Word.

[The Revelator]

Re: Racism is a sin, amirite?

the Bible was written in Hebrew, Greek, and Aramaic.

Every other language comes from translations. The KJV version is just another translation of the Bible. With that being said, people can still misinterpret scripture. We can look at the same verse, written the same way, and still get different meanings out of it.
