Quoting: Anonymous Coward 24406931 Exactly. Ezra 9:2 For they have taken some of their daughters as wives for themselves and for their sons, so that the holy race has intermingled with the peoples of the lands; indeed, the hands of the princes and the rulers have been foremost in this unfaithfulness. NASB, 1977 DSL is better than cable! :) |

They will hunger no more nor thirst anymore, neither will the sun beat down upon them nor any scorching heat, 17 because the Lamb, who is in the midst of the throne, will shepherd them, and will guide them to fountains of waters of life. And God will wipe out every tear from their eyes.” Rv7:9 |

S W User ID: 24638433 United Kingdom 09/29/2012 03:45 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | We are already in Gods kingdom, Gods kingdom is his creation which we are a part. We, in Gods kingdom must rise from low resonance of soul frequency to high resonance of soul frequency. We are limited beings to become multi density and dimensional beings. Racism is not the reflection of the perfection of God, and therefore keeps the soul frequency low so that one cannot rise above the lower spectrum. Racism is a form of self denial in that all things are connected and created from the one, it signifies ignorance and a lack of understanding in the creature, a lower thinking creature cannot rise above the consciousness of the mid fourth dimension because it keeps itself in separation and the illusion of difference and deservedness and unfamiliarity. To be fully aware of the whole of God, one must behave like God, think like God, do like God, and separateness among the beings let alone God is not whole! And recognising wholeness is recognising that all creatures created are equal. |

God loves to create, Gods Sons love to create, why limit your creation if it is created with love it creates wondrous creations. It is man that is limits, God loves all his creations, they are beautiful and reflect the personality of our creator son. |

[link to thetencommandmentsministry.us] Thank you for the link. It's appreciated, but I have a problem with articles that make a statement, uses one verse, ignoring the others around it and claim it supports thier statment. Because of that, I didn't continue reading becuase the entire first chapter used that method. For instance, in this example, they say, "We are hearing much idle talk these days to the effect that there must be no such thing anywhere as "second class citizens.This nonsense is based on the assumption that God created all human beings equal in every respect, and that He has drawn no lines of distinction among them. But in the Bible we find inequalities that segregate into classes members of the same family, to say nothing about distinctive qualities of race and color. Not man but God decides a person's status in society." Then they go on to say: "As the Psalmist declared: "God is the judge: He putteth down one, and setteth up another." (Ps. 75:7)." Isn't that scripture about wickedness and righteousness? Good and bad, and that God will put down the wickedness and favor righteousness? The verses following that one indicate to me that is exactly what is meant. Nothing to do with race. If what your link supposes were true, how could these scriptures be explained? “When a foreigner resides among you in your land, do not mistreat them. The foreigner residing among you must be treated as your native-born. Love them as yourself, for you were foreigners in Egypt. I am the LORD your God” (Lev 19:33-34) First Samuel 16:7b says, “The LORD does not look at the things people look at.
