That is easy to say but very hard to prove. Only God knows if they are truly saved by calling on the Name of Messiah.No, it's not a pointless triviality. But they aren't true Christians...
You did not address the point I made."You said that word was not found in the bible. I showed you it was.
Take it up with the translators of the NIV."
Like I said, stop spreading the "RACE" lie DAVEw
You just want to argue at this point. No, He doesn't. God cares about the heart... But hey, if you want to look at skin color, go right ahead... That's the problem with our society. People try to group other people into categories... We are all created in the image of God, regardless of skin color...
Like the Loa Loa maybe?Everything He does has a purpose, and was with thought and design.
Everything matters in God's eyes.
It happens:Then in God'd eyes it matters how tall I am. So why don't we divide societies up according to our height instead of our skin colour.
Cute.We could call it apart-height.
Pope Francis, Queen Elizabeth II, David Rockefeller, all the Rothschilds.... you know... the Illuminati, the "powers that be," the ones who worship Satan and have souled their souls for world domination. (Matthew 4:8-9). Wake up.
Promoting tolerance and acceptance for one or more particular groups (such as race) leads to the promotion of tolerance for all groups (such as all religions, sexualities, etc.). That is how multiculturalism works. The world defines the LBGT community as a culture. I have known many multiculturalist Christians who also promote tolerance for homosexuals. There are even gay Christians out there.
Ye shall keep my statutes. Thou shalt not let thy cattle gender with a diverse kind: thou shalt not sow thy field with mingled seed: neither shall a garment mingled of linen and woollen come upon thee. Leviticus 19:19
(“Field” is a reference to descended offspring, and “garment mingled of linen of wollen” (other versions say “clothing mixed with two kinds of material”) refers to a person who is a hybrid of two different races.)
But I have said unto you, Ye shall inherit their land, and I will give it unto you to possess it, a land that floweth with milk and honey: I am the Lord your God, which have separated you from other people. Leviticus 20:24
And Israel abode in [bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse]tim, and the people began to commit whoredom with the daughters of Moab. And they called the people unto the sacrifices of their gods: and the people did eat, and bowed down to their gods. And Israel joined himself unto Baalpeor: and the anger of the Lord was kindled against Israel. Numbers 25:1-4
And when the Lord thy God shall deliver them before thee; thou shalt smite them, and utterly destroy them; thou shalt make no covenant with them, nor shew mercy unto them: Neither shalt thou make marriages with them; thy daughter thou shalt not give unto his son, nor his daughter shalt thou take unto thy son. For they will turn away thy son from following me, that they may serve other gods: so will the anger of the Lord be kindled against you, and destroy thee suddenly. Deuteronomy 7:2-4
Thou shalt not sow thy vineyard with divers seeds: lest the fruit of thy seed which thou hast sown, and the fruit of thy vineyard, be defiled. Deuteronomy 22:9
A bastard shall not enter into the congregation of the Lord; even to his tenth generation shall he not enter into the congregation of the Lord. Deuteronomy 23:2
(Where “bastard” in the KJV is used in this passage, the Hebrew is מַמְזֵר or “mamzer,” which means “mongrel race” in this context. The Greek Septuagint (LXX) uses “allogenes,” which is a combination of two Greek words, "allos" meaning other, and "genos" meaning race.)
And the children of Israel dwelt among the Canaanites, Hittites, and Amorites, and Perizzites, and Hivites, and Jebusites: And they took their daughters to be their wives, and gave their daughters to their sons, and served their gods. And the children of Israel did evil in the sight of the Lord, and forgat the Lord their God, and served Baalim and the groves. Judges 3:5-7
And the seed of Israel separated themselves from all strangers, and stood and confessed their sins, and the iniquities of their fathers. Nehemiah 9:2
And the rest of the people, the priests, the Levites, the porters, the singers, the Nethinims, and all they that had separated themselves from the people of the lands unto the law of God, their wives, their sons, and their daughters, every one having knowledge, and having understanding... Nehemiah 10:28
Now it came to pass, when they had heard the law, that they separated from Israel all the mixed multitude. Nehemiah 13:3
Like the Loa Loa maybe?
Thank you, that was exactly the point I was trying to make...Or evil men, aka:men?
Some creatures are quite different post-fall, aren't they?
But, as you point out, that purpose and design often gets corrupted.i'm asking you to explain YOUR words, which stated that God has done things arbitrarily. I disagree. Everything He does has a purpose, and was with thought and design.
Not correct. We progressives are trying to move towards recognising these distinctions for what they actually are (as God designed), and ignoring, combating, and allowing for their post-fall corruption. (Matthew 6:10)Progressives have moved toward ignoring the distinctions and diversity which God Himself has made.
But, as you point out, that purpose and design often gets corrupted.
That's not so much discrimination than an interesting effect. I suppose it could technically be classified as discrimination. But it's orders of magnitude less significant than racism."The findings suggest that someone who is 6 feet tall earns, on average, nearly $166,000 more during a 30-year career than someone who is 5 feet 5 inches--even when controlling for gender, age and weight."
Not correct. We progressives are trying to move towards recognising these distinctions for what they actually are (as God designed), and ignoring, combating, and allowing for their post-fall corruption.
No.Are you saying that dark skin color is a corruption of God's design?
Men and women are created physically different for the purpose of making and nursing babies. But that's not necessarily the same as being different. Your question is ambiguous, so my answer depends on what you actually mean.Has God created men and women to be different?
No.
Good grief.
Try comprehending the whole post before replying...
I wrote: But post-fall these distinctions have become an excuse for arbitrary discrimination by evil men.
I'm saying that these distinctions (e.g.: skin colour etc.) that were designed by God for one purpose (global propagation), have been corrupted by evil men for another purpose (discrimination).

God created dark skin to propagate the earth?! Your posts are borderline racist, IMO.
Either you have a severe problem with comprehension, or you are trolling me.Breasts are the only distinction you see? Good thing there aren't any feminists around here.
Either you have a severe problem with comprehension, or you are trolling me.
I'm happy to explain, listen, debate and discuss with you when you start being sensible. But not before then.
I'll go against my keener instincts, and assume that you are not trolling. (Although the sentence "Good thing there aren't any feminists around here" strongly suggests that you are.)I've made a point using your bias, and I can tell it's landed. For those slow to catch on, use the back button.
Seeing as you seem to be having trouble comprehending my words, I'll give you a few clues.
1. Why do humans have a range of skin colours?
2. Why do women have mammary glands?
3. What are the other non-trivial differences between women and men?
