No Respecter of Persons

There are probably some husbands out there who'd be cute as can be in those uniforms.

As for your hiring practices,I agree with the principle but I can't help but recall an incident where some folks were arguing over whether a transgressor was evil or a fool.

One of the older and wiser folk said:

"I hope he's evil because you can't repent from stupid!"

Maybe,you could follow God's example and use each according to his strengths.

That way,the infidels could be exposed to the Word,the "works-in-progress" and seekers could see the love of God in action and the unqualified stauch believer could build up his skill set while revealing wisdom that would HAVE to have come from God because he wouldn't have the smarts to come up with it on his own.

(Why else would God have used to many "ordinary" people to perform extraordinary tasks on His behalf?)

Let the Lord fill your net for you.

He might give you a few fish you'd have thrown back but you'll wind up with a better roster than if you did all the picking on your own or let the world make your choices for you.

I'm glad to see that you're following through on your promise to keep the topic of homosexuality on the back burner.

I stated that entire blogs would not be devoted, a back burner still gets used every now and then.

They would be welcomed, bit would be told that the lifestyle was sinful, and that God can and will deliver them from it, same as all other sins.

The bible does give ground rules for excommunicating members.

There is a proper procedure to follow.

This would be used for habitual problem people especially people in leadership positions and especially myself and my family.

Habitual drinking will not be tolerated, no kind of drugs, affairs or violations of the law.

God's word will always provide the solution.

Matt18:15-18 explains this.

other verses are as follows:

Matt.18:17

1Cor5:5

1Tim 1:20

2 Thes.3:6

2Thes.3:14-15

1Cor.5:6

1Cor.5:5

2Tim.2:25-26

I would say the answer is yes, but if there is no change and they are blatant in flaunting their lifestyle, then the board would pray, and then vote and a decision would be reached.

Michael- aren't you the same person who recently posted about how upset you were when your own mother was asked to leave a church, because she did something that the church deemed inappropriate?

I smell hypocrisy.

As a man of God, it is your responsibility to bring people to God. How on earth are you going to teach the sinners, if you don't show them basic respect? I personally would never be a part of any church that would turn its back on a person, based on personal opinion of them.

If your doors are only going to be open to saints, you're going to have a hard time filling the pews.

Pray for them, of course.

This is just like Joe the Plumber who "wanted to start a business" and had no business or plumbers license and then said he'd be hurt under Obama's tax plan.. Basically a fraud, pretending to be something he's not for one reason or another. I, and many others plan to attend your church, wherever it is... and you won't even know who we are.

You say that now.. Just wait till the dialogue begins.

Hehe... They did that to Jesus when he told them the truth too... Roman much?

How would he know what a hooters outfit looks like, Do Christians go to Hooters just for the Chicken Strips?

Dale from King of the Hill worked at Hooters... That was a hilarious episode.

michael,

I have been to Hooters.

The remnant Old Man in me still suggests going back.

The New Man that Christ placed in me years ago knows I should not go back and be exposed to a temptation.

I am confident that what he started in me He will finish.

Personally, I don't think Hooters is such a big deal. At least you know what you're walking into before you ever even open the door. You can basically see the same thing hanging out at the bowling alley on Saturday night.

Besides, there's one thing about Hooters that should make you very happy. The building is virtually free of homosexual men.

Patience Michael. They do not know what they are doing.

I'm ready too but it is on His timetable. He will let us know when it is time to go.

Hopefully today some one new gets ready to go and experiences the peace and joy of knowing where Home Sweet Home is.

There is nothing that can compare to the Blessed Assurance.

The women at Hooters dress that way because it is the attire required. Nothing sinful there. A Christian could eat there just like anybody else. If man or woman decides to lust after someone that works there, then it would seem to me they would be the one who needs to pray for forgiveness.

So who in your church gets to approve the dress code? If you need any help, I bet the school board could help. Just kidding

in the garden,

I am not questioning your faith. I am glad you have faith. My faith is no better than anyone elses faith. My faith is in his Faith.

Do you know of anything that could ever get any better than the Blessed Assurance we have been given?

and how does one become a blogger on the Times site??

I have some issues i could talk about...

Church-ian-ity for one...

The looks don't matter to me or God , it is what is in the heart.

I have a dear friend[now deceased] who was covered in tattoos, and hair down to his waste and was one of the most devout Christians I ever knew.

But the question I ask is, Is there a cutoff point to what can be considered Christian?

If you want to get into a "holier than thou" contest I don't think Marvin would go to the head of the list. I think his comments prick so deep because they come so close to the Truth. Every time we get into one of these "don't judge" arguments I notice he and Michael and the most judged of all.

No particular #1. Check back through the blogs for the trail of stones. That should lead you to the guilty parties.

in the garden

I have never meant to convey the thought I was any holier than anyone. I know where my righteousness lays and it is not of my own. My righeousness was imputed to me.

My righteousness is not what saves me. It is the imputed righteousness of Christ alone that declares me justified.

I couldn't save a Krispy Creme doughnut this morning let alone my soul.

By no means am I "Holy". I know what it means to fall short of the Glory of God and believe me I fall short. I am a sinner and that is the only thing Christ came to save.

We all are sinners. Some seek Christ's righteousness for imputation which brings the declaration of justification with it and some seek to create their own righteousness which has damnation following it.

From the beginning the law was to be our schoolmaster. To show us how easy it is to be a sinner in God's eyes and provoke us into seeking the needed propitiation.

I believe Jesus even tried to simplify this understanding with us when he replied to the lawyer trying to convey to him that even with the law being reduced to only two commandments we all still fall short.

Mathew 22

34But when the Pharisees had heard that he had put the Sadducees to silence, they were gathered together.

35Then one of them, which was a lawyer, asked him a question, tempting him, and saying,

36Master, which is the great commandment in the law?

37Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.

38This is the first and great commandment.

39And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.

40On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.

I sincerly believe Jesus was trying to convey the plan of salvation in this teaching. It is remarkable how Jesus immediately followed with His own next question.

41While the Pharisees were gathered together, Jesus asked them,

42Saying, What think ye of Christ? whose son is he? They say unto him, The son of David.

43He saith unto them, How then doth David in spirit call him Lord, saying,

44The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand, till I make thine enemies thy footstool?

45If David then call him Lord, how is he his son?

46And no man was able to answer him a word, neither durst any man from that day forth ask him any more questions.

I believe the reason they could not answer Him a word was they could not spiritually see what was standing right in front of them. The Christ was standing in front of them asking a question about Himself and they stumbled all over it.

They were so caught up in their own self righteousness they missed recognizing the ONLY propitiation for sin was looking them straight in the eye.

Even with the law being reduced to the two commandments, I still recognize I fall short each and every day.

I know I do not love the Lord with "all " my heart. My flesh will not let go of "all" things else. It is an ongoing daily struggle to let go of many things that my flesh still craves and come into perfection with my God having "all" my heart "all" the time.

Be thankful to God that out of love He accepted the sacrafice of His son's righteousness as an imputable righteousness to us. Without it we are lost. With it we are saved. There is nothing more precious than the Blood of Jesus.

4fabfelines,

No doubt some of us Christians can set some pretty bad examples that can be miscontrued to an unbeliever and damage the cause of Christ. Old habits do not break easy.

I've never read the book you mentioned but I will order it and read it if you say it is a good read. The sound of the title alone hints at it being a worthwhile endevour.

parkerbrothers: the book is by Dave Burchett.

It is really awesome. If i had another copy i would give u one.

Peace... have a great rest of the week.

parkerbrothers: there is another by Dave Burchett that is excellant if you know someone who has gone through spiritual abuse in the church due to abusive leadership.

It is called Bring 'em back alive.

BEST book i have read on the subject.

We had a abusive leader for years and i needed alot of healing.

Pax Deo, 4fabfelines

up north:

I don't judge at all. The only thing i know is this: I was a alcoholic, a very depressed drug addict. I gave Jesus Christ my heart, and he loved me unconditionally. That is all i need.

The church is a differant matter. They are made up of imperfect people just like me.

I pray i walk in love and kindness each day, and if i should miss it I would ask for your forgiveness for my stupidity and blindness.

I do believe you have got it figured out. That is a great attitude to maintain.

stolen25,

Why are you feeling angry at Michael today?

Why does his Biblical warnings and Biblical solutions upset you?

I believe if you would just take the time to consider what he is saying I think you could find A Joy and Peace to replace the anger you feel.

Acts 10:34 states that "God is no respecter of persons" and he is the only entity in the universe that can boast of this.

You want my respect, then earn it.

WOW!

michael,

Interesting comment and you are right. You could not even introduce yourself on your first blog before the hecklers started in on you and your message. Go back to the archives and click on the very first blog you did introducing yourself and family and sure enough you got skinned right off the bat by the now has become usuals. Within the first 5 blogs you had almost all the hecklers riding you.

As I have said before that is what made me think you must have a thick hide. 208 blogs later and they still scream out with anger and rage when they hear the Word.

Keep up the good work though. It is worth it in the long run.

Michaelbell,

When you start up your church you will no doubt get people who confess they are born again and believe this "Blessed Assurance" has been given to them!

This means they are no longer under the law, but the two commandments.

Now your congregation would not be bound by your new church by-laws and regulations, because they are not under the law, any law, because law is sin.

So if you remove anyone from your church, you are judging them as sinners and are a sinner yourself because you are invoking the law (sin) on God's children.

Does the church have the right to cast people out of their church? Most people who are asked to leave will not return nor bring charges against the church, but if they could make a discrimination sue against the church, you would face serious...?

Although there is a separation of the church and state, you will probable find many state laws you must obey just to operate as a non-profit church, overriding your authority as a minister or proprietor of a religion.

Pbros confesses that a homosexual, once saved can continue to be a homosexual because of his "Blessed Assurance". According to his teaching, homosexuals are no longer condemned from heaven, so they shouldn't be condemned from the church.

Of course, this would be your church and not pbrothers' church, so you have to do what you have to, unless pbros is a board member in your church.

A questionnaire asking your congregation if they are homosexual or not, would be out of the question!

Just keep preaching like you do on your blogs and they will stop coming to your church.

Unique-Lies,

You are confused again in your references to me.

By the way, you have never returned the two herds of goats. I still think you were sacraficing them back then in hopes of some attonement you had dreamed up when they all ran off and left your ole tale up on the mountain. Or perhaps that booger man you dreamed about did actually show up and the goats cut a trail down the mountain leaving you to deal with him.

Just joking with you Mr. Unique.

Glad to see you back on here safely off the mountain, with or without the goats :)))

parkerbrothers, you said:

"Those two commandments are a lot like the others. They too are meant to be the schoolmaster that show us how far we fall short."

Those Two Commandments are nothing like the other Ten Commandments! The Ten Commandments list ten things that we shalt not do. The Two Commandments list two things we should do. Notice the difference?

How can these Two Commandments show us how far we fall short? What can you compare them to?

You continued with, "No man but one could keep the original commandments and no man but one can keep the commandments when they are reduced to two."

If you or anyone can not Love God with all their heart, mind and soul and love their neighbors as much as themselves, then they shouldn't be allowed in God's Kingdom!

You contradicted yourself by saying "There is still the need for an attonement for the sin God sees when we miss even only those two marks." AND "It was the last needed Sacrafice and it was a Finished Work of His that attones."

Everyone knows that Jesus Christ is the atonement for everyone's sins. Jesus died once for everyone. There is no more atonement. It has already been done as you confessed above in the last sentence: "It was the last needed Sacrifice and it was a Finished Work of His that attones."

Jesus paid for everyone's sins 2,000 years ago when he was crucified. We are atoned when we accept him as our savior.

2 Peter 2:20-21

20 For if after they have escaped the pollutions of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, they are again entangled therein, and overcome, the latter end is worse with them than the beginning.

21 For it had been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than, after they have known it, to turn from the holy commandment delivered unto them.

You contradicted yourself by saying "There is still the need for an attonement for the sin God sees when we miss even only those two marks." AND "It was the last needed Sacrafice and it was a Finished Work of His that attones."

Posted by Unique-Lies on Sun, Feb 1, 2009, at 8:05 PM

Unique-Lies,

There is no contradiction there. Only a little over reading into on your part.

There is indeed a need for the atonement of our sins. Our sin is still sin in God's eyes unless it is covered by the blood of the Lamb.

Only by Faith can we be covered by the attonement. Not by any of our works so we could boast.

God puts more on your plate than you can handle doesn't He!

using the analogy of food on our plate... not all good things are good for everybody. some can handle them, some can not.

For some unknown reason, I have developed an allergy in my adult life to pork and beef! That means no hamburgers, lasagna, tacos, pork chops, greenbeans seasoned with bacon... you get the picture! Even though for billions of people, it holds no adverse effect, for me - I would be gasping for breathe from my throat swelling shut!

God withholds from us what He desires, maybe to make us realize that what we want is not always best for us...

Thought I would pass this on, it came from a old school buddy of mine, because we did not thank the one who gave us the blessing, we are now under the cursing.

I think this could be done.

Dear American liberals, leftists, social progressives, socialists, Marxists, Obama supporters, et all:

We have stuck together since the late 1950's, but the

whole of this latest election process has made me realize that I want a divorce. I know we tolerated each other for many years for the sake of future

generations, but sadly, this relationship has run its course. Our two

ideological sides of America cannot and will not ever agree on what is right, so let's just end it on friendly terms. We can smile, slate it up to

irreconcilable differences, and go on our own ways.

Here is a model dissolution agreement:

Our two groups can equitably divide up the country by

landmass each taking a portion. That will be the difficult part, but I am sure our two sides can come to a friendly agreement.

After that it should be relatively easy! Our respective

representatives can effortlessly divide other assets since both sides have such

distinct and disparate tastes. We don't like redistributive taxes so

you can keep them.

You are welcome to the liberal judges and the ACLU..

Since you hate guns and war, we'll take our firearms, the cops, the NRA and

the military. You can keep Oprah, Michael Moore, and Rosie

O'Donnell (you are however, responsible for finding a bio-diesel vehicle

big enough to move them).

We'll keep the capitalism, greedy corporations,

pharmaceutical companies, Wal-Mart, and Wall Street. You can have your beloved

homeless, homeboys, hippies, and illegal aliens. We'll keep the hot Alaskan

hockey moms, greedy CEO's, and rednecks. We'll keep the Bibles and give

you NBC and Hollywood.

You can make nice with Iran, Palestine, and France and

we'll retain the right to invade and hammer places that threaten us. You can

have the peaceniks and war protestors. When our allies or way of life are under

assault, we'll provide them job security.

We'll keep our Judeo-Christian Values. You are welcome

to Islam, Scientology, Humanism, and Shirley McClain. You can have

the U.N. But we will no longer be paying the bill. We'll keep the

SUV's, pickup trucks, and oversized luxury cars. You can take every Subaru station wagon you can find.

You can give everyone healthcare, if you can find any

practicing doctors (that is practicing, Howard Dean) who will follow to your

turf (sic). We'll continue to believe healthcare is a luxury and not a right.

We'll keep The Battle Hymn of the Republic and The National Anthem. I'm sure

you'll be happy to substitute Imagine, I'd Like to Teach the World to Sing,

Kum Ba Ya or We Are the World.

We'll practice trickledown economics and you can give

trickle up poverty its best shot.

Since it often so offends you we'll keep our History, our Name, and our

Flag.

Would you agree to this? If so please pass it along to

other like-minded patriots and if you do not agree just hit delete and hang

on.

In the spirit of friendly parting, I'll bet you ANWAR

on who will need whose

help in 15 years.

Sincerely,

John J. Wall

Law Student and an American

P.S. Please take Barbra Streisand,Puff Daddy,Bruce Springstein, Bill Maher,Katie Couric

michaelbell, it amazes me how you continue to claim you are preaching Gods' Word, but every so "often" you carry discriminative undertones toward others. Although what you posted is someone elses thoughts and words, you made a point to post it on your blog as an acceptance of it, therefore becoming your own words. I find it very hard to believe God placed this article on your heart to post on the blogs for others to see. Let me say this to you, all (man/human) belong to God, and if you feel the need to keep voicing division, seperatism, discriminative sarcassam in your posts, do not claim your doings is of God. Because it is not of God, but of division and hate. Have you ever heard the term "Together will Stand, But divided will Fall" This article used relationship and divorce as a metaphor but forgot the "Vows under God (For Better or Worse)". No one saids everyone has to agree with each other, and people are entitle to their opinion of others being too liberal or too conservative. But some of the words in your article are of discriminative undertones which you from time to time manage to posts.

Our two groups can equitably divide up the country

We'll keep the capitalism, greedy corporations,

pharmaceutical companies, Wal-Mart, and Wall Street. You can have your beloved homeless, homeboys, hippies, and illegal aliens. We'll keep the hot Alaskan hockey moms, greedy CEO's, and rednecks. We'll keep the Bibles and give you NBC and Hollywood.

Your wordings you chose to posts, shows the "True You" and God don't like ugly! This is exactly why people argue with you on your posts. You speak from self, not from God.

You answer is, yes !it used to be that way and I cannot change that, but in this "time of equality" should there be any discrimination of races?

People say that Christian's are supposed to love everyone and tolerate everything, I can't quiet find that in the Bible.

Jesus says to love your brother, if you are a brother in Christ, or sister, then you have my love and compassion.

To a Christian [a true Christian] the Bible is his guidebook and only the ones who follow with him are his brothers and sisters.

Some churches I would not want to preach in.

I still plan with the Lord's will to have a building later this year.

I can preach anywhere!

And my answer to your question is "no", but unfortunately their still is, not only whites but in ALL races. These organizations were started up because blacks were not accepted for certain roles in acting, singing, dancing, modeling, or any other role of entertainment, as well as good paying jobs. Even in this day and time their are still talks of blacks being paid lesser than whites for the same jobs, and men being paid more than women for the same job. Just because they allow blacks to take part in different types of roles now is no reason for them to "Close Down, or Stop their businesses". "Urban culture" today is still not accepted by some businesses, "SOME" of the dances and lyrics are very extreme and often needs monitured or rated. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Urban_cultu...

That is why it will continue to be in a category all by itself. The thing now though, Mr. Bell, is white children, asian, hispanics, etc. "are" doing hip-hop dancing, singing, and rapping. This is (NOT) a black people only type of culture anymore, many races that like this type of music, dances, singing, rapping, and even character acting are considered the "Urban Culture" or "Hip-Hop Culture" and we love all our races they bring new flavor to it.

People say that Christian's are supposed to love everyone and tolerate everything, I can't quiet find that in the Bible.-- Posted by michaelbell on Sat, Feb 7, 2009, at 7:52 AM

Michael Bell, Love everyone "YES", tolerate everything "NO". Do you remember "Love thy neighbor as thy Self"! It is part of one of the "TWO GREAT COMMANDMENTS". "Love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your might. And the second commandment is like unto it; "Love thy neighbor as thy self". Read: Matthew 22: 36-40 I know everyone ain't perfect, and we all make mistakes, but you being a minister should (Definitely know this!) Perhaps you need to stay (MORE) on GODS word, than an old friend or buddy.

Here are some more refreshers:

http://www.topical-bible-studies.org/24-...

Momof3&3step&1gran,

I can almost perfect color blindness until you and others (Jessie Jackson, Al Sharpton, etc., etc) remind me so often of their time when there was a most definite huge distinction of color. It seems they are forever going to remind us of their huge color difference. I think we all could become color blind if they would stop reminding us that we should remember it. Can not they ever get over it and move on. We can not change yesterday but we can help shape tomorrow. If they would quit screaming "I'm black" I might just not even notice they were? I honestly believe Jesus is color blind but undoubtedly someone will complain they are being discriminated against at the white pearly gates.-- Posted by parkerbrothers on Sat, Feb 7, 2009, at 9:52 AM

PB, first of all no one is telling you to be "Blind to the color of Black, Brown, Red, or Yellow". The color/race of someone is not the issue. The Discriminating "BECAUSE OF ONES COLOR, RACE, GENDER, SEXUAL PREFERENCE, RELIGION, ETC." I think you get the picture. Preventing one from because of (), or being hateful toward one because of ().

Also, neither I, nor Jessie Jackson, Al Sharpton, etc. brought up "race issue here", MICHAEL BELL did. I responded to his comment of claiming blacks would be mad if their was a white only group. And like I told him before, there are PLENTY of white only organizations, business, shows, groups etc. through out America.

He should not be "HATING" on a group of people who are trying to have a better life, people that have goals and strive for them. If you want something in life you have to go out their and get it. And alot of times it don't come easy. Their are some people that don't want to see people do better in life, or have anything. They rather criticize, talk down to them, and tell them they don't deserve better. But when people stop trying, and stop doing things for themselves, they will be the first ones to call them Lazy, Good for Nothings. They are nothing but Jealous Hypocrites

Momof3&3step&1gran,

I think Michael brought up a good point in his blog about the racial beauty contests. I also think he is right in his opinion of the reaction that would be received if there was a racially restricted white only beauty contest.

My comments were only meant to convey the agreement I felt with his statements.

I also agree with some of your comments. It was terribly wrong to seperate the races in the manner that was allowed and carried out in an earlier time.

But why can not we learn from a terrible wrong? If you felt is was wrong to racially label beauty contests White only why do you condone the racial label of Black beauty contest.

Would not a sign above the restroom door that read "Black Only" seem wrong to you?

You made the comment...." And like I told him before, there are PLENTY of white only organizations, business, shows, groups etc. through out America".

I am not aware of these things you mention. Could you provide more information?

michaelbell,

Racial discrimination has been in this country every since they started slavery. It will continue in this country til Christ returns and even Prejudice against color, greed, nationality, gender or even looks will continue.

The media keeps it alive in their news reports when it is possible to use in a story.

The U.S. Government uses racial discrimination to keep the public distracted from what they are really doing or about to do.

Slavery consists of African men, women and children being kidnapped and many were sold to the slave dealers by their parents for money to help them with their financial needs. - their own families or relatives sold them to the slave dealers.

Many of these slaves went to other counties which may still have slaves today.

Our county freed the slaves, so blacks in this country should be glad they were brought to this country to be sold and not taken to other slave buying countries.

Today there are millions of children kidnapped and sold in slavery for sex. That has to be worst than just slavery of black people. These children have to grow up without any chance of becoming free. Most are murdered or OD on drugs. Very few are found and freed.

President Lincoln freed the black slaves from the white man and made them slaves of the U.S. Government.

Let me explain! Lincoln freed the slaves, so Congress had to amend the Constitution giving them their freedom. These Black Africans did have a citizenship to any country so Congress had the provide them with a citizenship to our country.

WRONG!

Congress gave them a citizenship under our Central Government. Our Central Government never had citizens under it's jurisdiction until Congress gave the blacks and the citizens of the territories a 14th amendment U.S. Citizenship.

Now the Central Government had Citizens of its own and had complete jurisdiction over them. The Central Government never had Jurisdiction over we the people who were born in this country. We are the Sovereignty in this country, not the government. The Blacks just traded their slavery to the Government.

As Government U.S. Citizens they were given "Civil Rights" but not Inalienable rights protected by the U.S. Constitution. - So we the people who are born in this country have inalienable rights protected by the constitution, but 14th amendment, U.S. Citizens only have "Civil Rights".

I prefer the "Inalienable Rights", which came from our Creator, than the "Civil Rights", which came from our Central Government.

This means that all the foreigners can only receive "Civil Rights" which are nothing compared to our "Inalienable Rights secured by the Constitution".

However, we must claim our Constitutional rights in person in a timely and specific manner, or we are considered U.S. Citizens who only have limited Civil Rights and only have equal protection of the law instead of Constitutional Rights.

Think of it this way Michael, if these 14th Amendment Citizens get a new civil right, we the people of the 50 several states already had that right and it can never be taken away from us, but it can be taken away from the other citizens because it is a "Civil Right" and was given by the Government as a benefit or privilege for being a new U.S. Citizen of our Central Government.

The ACLU can fight for all the rights they want to, because they are only Civil Rights and not superseded by Inalienable rights guaranteed by the U.S. Constitution.

Soon all will see that Christians will soon be in the minority, part of Obama's new world order will see to that.

Momof3&3step&1gran,

The fact still stands that it should be considered wrong to have any thing that is based on race.

Your two links only further document that it is still wrong to have a "black" beauty contest or a "white" bathroom.

Parker Brothers, I will agree with you their. To me if it is hurting others, or preventing others to participate then it is wrong. Maybe they will begin to look at things like this in a different light, and decide to allow other participants of different races and perhaps give it a new and improved name. Nothing should be one sided. And these contest should not be majority one race over the others either, because obviously alot of women and men (Which I would LOVE to see more of, even though I haven't seen the first men pageants yet) of all races would like to participate in it.

Evolution No. God Yes!

Bible speaks of Jews and Gentiles, Gentiles covers us all except for the Jews.

Momof3&3step&1gran,

In spite of all our beliefs, true or false stories, and of course, all the twisted stories I repeat, when the False Prophet, the Anti-Christ and the Beast begin their one world order and one world religion... we (Red, yellow, white, black, brown or green civilizations) will all be slaves or imprisoned or worse. This would include the Americans, Russians, Chinese, Japanese, Africans, Israelis and all the others.

Just as God destroyed all fresh in the worldwide Flood, the Anti-Christ will torment and torture all flesh worldwide. No one will be exempt, not even God's chosen few. And without the Famous Rapture to take Christians away, they will be stuck here also.

When I post, I report a summery of what I want to say. To explain every detail would be boring and take up too much space on the blog. My post go longer than the y should but I try to make it clear because it is always different from everyone's post.

I don't print anything I haven't read or seen that is suppose to be reliable. I will put it in my own words. My own words don't mean I don't know that all Africans are not all black just as all blacks are not Africans, and neither are all Blacks, black. Dido on all the other races also.

Not all blacks were sold by the relatives, but some were. That is awful no matter what race they are.

Black history is okay as long as the rebel troops and their flag are not allowed in the history of the black people. That doesn't work. Without the rebels and the rebel flag there would be no free slaves today. Brothers fought against brother in that war. Women and girls (black and white) were raped and killed by soldiers during the civil war. We turned against our own people just like it is coming now. People are turning their family, friends and relatives into the law for anything they do. It will get even worse according to Jesus.

Like I said in my post above. Slavery is not over. Many teens (from every country) are and will be slaves forever with no one to help them.

Joseph was sold into slavery and became the Kings right hand man in Egypt and went on the save his father Jacob and his other 11 brothers and a sister from starvation.

Because some slaves were sold in America, they unknowingly brought their descendants freedom.

Even the women didn't have equal rights in this country until the 1920s and they're still fighting for more equal rights.

I'm going to tell everyone something right here and now! You can read all the history you want to, but in a couple years they manage to change the history to read something entirely different. I seen it happen several times.

Even the bible is being changed and the stories in it to make way for the Anti-Christ. If you have an old bible, KEEP IT!

I like you, Momof3&3step&1gran, I tell everyone not to believe anything I say but to read it for themselves with the Holy Spirit.

There are many preachers that are just reading the scriptures and not understanding them because the Holy Spirit is not within them. Without the Holy Spirit, you won't understand the scriptures, only what preachers tell you.

michaelbell, You posted:

I have no issues with races of any kind, for the Bible declares tat you are either a Jew or a Gentile, man created the different ethnicities, not God.

I have to correct you on your quote. It says "neither" not either. I can not find your quote in any bible. If it exists, it would be in one of your reference books.

Galatians 3:28-29

28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus.

29 And if ye [be] Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise.

Also, neither circumcision nor uncircumcision:

Galatians 5:6

6 For in Jesus Christ neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision; but faith which worketh by love.

Galations 6:15

15 Neither circumcision nor uncircumcision means anything; what counts is a new creation.

Also ethnicities was created by God while the people were building the tower of Babel.

Genesis 11:1-9

1 And the whole earth was of one language, and of one speech.

2 And it came to pass, as they journeyed from the east, that they found a plain in the land of Shinar; and they dwelt there.

3 And they said one to another, Go to, let us make brick, and burn them thoroughly. And they had brick for stone, and slime had they for morter.

4 And they said, Go to, let us build us a city and a tower, whose top may reach unto heaven; and let us make us a name, lest we be scattered abroad upon the face of the whole earth.

5 And the LORD came down to see the city and the tower, which the children of men builded.

6 And the LORD said, Behold, the people is one, and they have all one language; and this they begin to do: and now nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do.

7 Go to, let us go down, and there confound their language, that they may not understand one another's speech.

8 So the LORD scattered them abroad from thence upon the face of all the earth: and they left off to build the city.

9 Therefore is the name of it called Babel; because the LORD did there confound the language of all the earth: and from thence did the LORD scatter them abroad upon the face of all the earth.

Just because the last issue of slavery dealt with predominately African people does not infer that they were the only or the majority race to be in a state of slavery. Actually throughout time I would think that the African race was one of the least of people to endure slavery.

Parkerbrothers since the BEGINNING of Slavery, people of color, and africans of many different tribes have always been a part of slavery. Do you remember Moses delivering the Hebrew slaves (Israelites) out of Egypt. Moses had married an Ethiopian woman. Alot of the biblical characters are of color and african descent. Just because (Now days) all the pictures you see show a White Jesus, or a White Moses, and other characters as being white; it is not the Truth. These are pictures that have been revised to men of European race.

Momof3&3step&1gran,

When Jesus was born, he was the son of Mary who was a Jew. So Jesus no doubt looked like a Jew and not an American white man. Just as other countries paint him as a man of their ethnic background.

Remember the earlier post where God confounded the language of all the people building the towel of Babel so they would have to spread out and start their own countries? That is when all the different cultures and civilizations began.

I watched a few minutes of Pastor Perry Stone the other night and he said that Israel has 7 different lands. A land that would please everyone if they came to Israel. Interesting, so all the people who live in Israel may actually look like 7 different kinds of people! Who knows what Jesus may have looked like because He was all over Israel?

Historians are rewriting HISTORY every hundred years or so. What was said years ago may be changed in the future to read something different.

History and the Bible are two different things. The Bible is one of the oldest history books. It has been around for centuries. You could say some of it was here back in Moses's day. Look at how the Bible has been changed just from translating it.

Now, the "experts" want to rewrite History in the Bible to read differently. "The real truth about Noah and the Flood", "The real story of Jesus", "The stories about Mary Magdalene" and "her starting Christianity by herself" and now even "married to Jesus and having his child", The Da Vinci Code", (Not a truth but many swear by them). There are actually several Bible experts working on these anti-Christ stories. Sounds to me like they are not very expert on the bible at all.

When I went to high school and took History, I thought I would learn about Dinosaurs and cavemen and women. Nope! Nothing about History at all. I just read about government history and some history of the good Ol' USA. What about the Dinosaurs and cavemen. Didn't we come from them? I was so disappointed. Now they tell me after I leave school, that I was suppose to come from an Ape! Sorry, I don't buy that and actually read in the Bible where man came from and where he is going and what happens to him in between.

Many say I am anti-Christ and twist the truth around to mean what I want it to mean. If I did that I would twist it to make me feel good all the time. I know what happens and why. How many can say that?

What I know, I know that I know, that I know, that I know, that I know, that I know, that I know!

I almost FLUNKED English in high school, so my English isn't at its best.

For example:

I don't print anything I haven't read or seen that is suppose to be reliable.

I did twist this line up pretty badly. I should have said:

I only post things that I have read or seen that is suppose to be reliable from a reliable source. The internet isn't a reliable source, even if it is interesting. Even the History channel and A&E aren't a reliable source for the truth. It is only a version of a story.
