Some choose to not respond to those who don't have enough guts to sign their names to whatever it is they express. But I do and will! Thank you for reminding us that God's Word is no longer really significant -- if it is referred to, it amounts to nothing more than "spouting off" and certainly cannot be employed as the Source of authority when it comes to any issue in human experience, including the problem of racism. Whether you want to admit it or not, Jesus identified the root problem of sin as located in the inner nature of each human being -- I could give you a reference on that, but then that would be more "spouting off" would it not? And as mentioned in the post, Jesus spelled out the demands for experiencing the cure of all that divides and destroys the members of the human race. At least some can testify positively that His way does indeed work. Racism in the church will diminish when His demands are met and only then!PA Maverickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01543635628491223561noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5283470628243930644.post-71336138295208755812008-04-05T22:02:00.000-04:002008-04-05T22:02:00.000-04:00Your cynacism is stunning! "This racism thing"? ...Your cynacism is stunning! "This racism thing"? I'm not from W.Pa (W.Va here), but I'll certainly let Paul know that racism DOES remain, and that the grace of God has yet to eliminate it completely from God's church. I doubt that the training is to teach you how to be racist (don't we already know that all too well?). Perhaps, it is to aid Christian leaders in eliminating racism form the church, an undoubtedly Godly and worthwhile venture. The only way to think otherwise is to think that racism doesn't exist, not a sin or not worth the church's effort to fight it. The truth is you need to do more than spout off Bible verses to combat racism in the church. I hope that the training's potential usefulness is not sabotaged by your bad attitude.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
