MR PINKi User ID: 1708446 United States 02/05/2012 02:06 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | You CAN'T be a racist and a Christian at the same time. You have to choose one of the two options. Quoting: you have to choose one 10225490 Jesus Christ was born from a Jewish mother. Jesus Christ had 12 Jewish apostles. Jesus Christ told the Parable of the Good Samaritan for a reason: [link to en.wikipedia.org] Samaritans were hated by Jesus' target audience, the jewish people, to such a degree that the Lawyer's phrase "The one who had mercy on him" may indicate a reluctance to name the Samaritan. The Samaritans in turn hated the jewish people. Tensions were particularly high in the early decades of the first century because Samaritans had desecrated the Jewish Temple at Passover with human bones. As the story reached those who were unaware of the oppression of the Samaritans, this aspect of the parable became less and less discernible: fewer and fewer people ever heard of them in any context other than as a description. Thus cast appropriately, the parable regains its message to modern listeners: namely, that an individual of a social group they disapprove of can exhibit moral behavior that is superior to individuals of the groups they approve. Jesus was against the hatred and racial prejudice between Jewish people and Samaritans. In the first years of Christianity, the two main "racial" groups of Christians were the Jewish Christians, and the Greek Christians. But the Bible says, on Galatians 3:28: "There is neither jewish nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is no male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus." The reason for this to be in the Bible is: Christians should not be divided on racial groups. God loves everyone equally, and racial divisions should not exist. That's why the Bible warned that divisions between "Jewish and Greek" should not exist in the Early Christianity. Really now |

According to the OT, it was okay for jewish people to hate and kill all other races. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 7089700 Only the most confused of Xtians believe the OT literally. The only real Christian book is the NT, which is entirely different reading than the OT, which from all accounts, Jesus despised. |

The OT was the old covenant made by GOD.. The TEN COMMANDMENT is like a mirror that shows us that the human condition CANNOT uphold the COVENANT with God.. He loved us so much he made it easier on us to be with HIM. All we have to do is believe on JESUS CHRIST.. He did the hard part. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 4990480 United States 02/05/2012 06:28 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | ummm the OT was NEVER done away with! Afterall, EVERY text Jesus and the apostles quote was from the OLD TESTAMENT because the NEW TESTAMENT didn't even exist at the time! If you do away with the OT you do away with over 50% of the NT!! The old covenant was done away with. The old covenant was having to take lambs to the sanctuary, confess your sins on them, slay them, do the Day of Atonement and other feast days, etc. JESUS did away with that! it was nailed to the cross! Jesus FULFILLED the ceremonial law! He WAS the lamb slain from the foundation of the world! All the ceremonial laws pointed FORWARD to Jesus and what he would accomplish for us on the cross, but it did NOT do away with the writings of the Old Testaments, of which MOST is prophecies about Jesus and even things that will happen at the end of time! |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 4990480 So... if the law of the old testament that said it is okay to stone people to death was not meant to be changed by the change of mens HEARTS then why did he save the woman from being stoned? He asked " Who condems you?" She replied after she looked around and saw that everyone was gone "No one Lord" He replied " Neither do I. Go and sin no more". That is part of the New Covenant. |

I love my white heredity and love that my family was Confederate. They were not slave owners just because they were white. That is a silly myth. My ancestors were Indentured servants from England and Europe. I absolutely do not think I am better than any other race, but I can have great admiration for mine without hesitation. Quoting: ConfederateLady 9930673 You are not a racist if you LOVE YOUR kind, since "racism" implies HATING OTHERS. Then, the predominant U.S. ancestry is German and Irish, not English. Either way, I understand your point very well. So... |

He was rejected. He told his diciples to spread the word to the Gentiles (anyone who is not Jewish). That is the heigth of non-bigoted or racist action as the Gentiles are considered swine before the jewish people. Remember, the Jewish remnant will only be 144,000. |

They just didn't engage in anti-slavery fight, because they tought their mission was spiritual, and they should dedicate to this spiritual mission, and not divert their efforts to "mundane" issue, specially in a moment when their religious movement was newborn and so small. You are the typical son of a bitch who manipulate people with lies, and don't tell them the true words of the Bible. |
