Racism among Christians

 

We are all created in the image and likeness of God.And yes I am a creationist, I do not believe I evovled from anything I believe I am God's handiwork.Now brothers and sisters we need to stop spending so much time on the things that divide us. it is bad enoughwe battle between denominations we can not also have Christians dividing by race. If we are to accomplish the grat commission we need to move beyond that.
If we have a problem with a brother the bible tells us we are to straighten things out with that brother first. All who have accepted Christ have become one family,Christs body on earth. The bible says we will know them by their fruit and there are times I think some peoples Christianity needs to be question and searched for fruit.
I personally do not want anyone sent to eternal damnation because i was not bold enough to confront them. I think we are in a time where there are more and more false teachers with the anti-Christ spirit within them and we must challenge them at every turn.BUT it needs to be done as a Christian for the glory and honor of God and racism has no place in the equation.
Do not speak out of a place of racism nor avoid a confrontation because someone might accuse you of racism. Make sure you are speaking out of the heart of a Christian, be bold, be strong, but be loving.
The main thing I am trying to say is that during such a time as ours Christians need to be uniting under the banner of Gods desires for our lives and not separating because of some silly pact mentality which can only move you further and further away from the Lord.

Amen Hugh.  People should be judged on their character and no matter their race a good man is a good man and a evil one an evil one.  And nothing makes me more angry than being accused of being a racist because I'm conservative.  It just ain't so.

Thanks hugh I really do not think that America or Christians are stuck on race problems.  I think the media would like to keep us feeling guilty.

Hugh...as people of all races we seam to  have the need to put others down.  It doesn't matter where you go, it is an inherit behavior that one must make a conscience decision to change.

Ditto Michael * racism is LEARNED behavior so the sooner children are taught NOT to be RACISTS, they better we will all be.

Racism is something taught by parents or culture or even religion.  It isn't something anyone is born with.  Many Christian churches even taught racism for centuries.  Fortunately it seems like modern western society has put racism behind it.

Hugh,

I just wonder how God will separate us to keep us happy?. Actually he will not tolerate racism in anyone who claims to be his child.

We can all trace our roots back to Adam. Therefore we are all of one race. The human race.

I'm with Joni... there is no race other than the human race. it's all a matter of melanin. Some have more than others. I picture Adam as being a medium dark skinned and produced the whole spectrum of skin colors.  We do learn to treat others differently and it's just plain old ignorance. There is no place for this in the Bride of Christ.

Hugh - I was in the church from the earliest age, altarboy, the whole nine yards. I always wondered why God would allow so many different demoninations, Christian and otherwise. I mean, really, why allow all these people to waste their lives? Why not just clear it up once and for all? Can you imagine how many INNOCENT lives would be saved? When I think about being a child of God (are not ALL of us children of God?), I can't imagine any father (earthly or otherwise) who would so callously allow HIS OWN CHILDREN to waste their lives. Imagine YOU allowing your 2nd child to spend eternity in HELL just because s/he wouldn't listen to you for a minute...and instead lived in a place where 99.999999% of the people said something else was God? Please give me a rational explanation, if you can. Thanks!

Curt,

Quite simply because He is God and we're not.I was also analtar boy , parochial school , the who nine yards, not till I got much older and started reading the Bible did I realize Jesus hated Religion too. It si about a relationship not Religion and doctrine.

I do not believe there is anywhere in the world where 99.99% of the people worship another God, but that is why I try to do my part in fulfilling the great comission and spreading the gospel. But in the end God is sovreign and only he can open your heart to recieve the gospel.

My Father passed recently, He was a eucharistic minister for his church, i still have little doubt he in currently in hell.Just as I know if my daughter were to pass this very day she would join him there.

Someday we may undwerstand but for now my faith and trust is in Jusus who is the way the truth and the life, no one gets to the father accept through him
