[QUOTE="SongOnTheWind, post: 76018021, member: 434584"] Maybe it's not about opinion, but about truth. If we as Christ's Body searched for and received the truth instead of having itching ears, perhaps we would agree. What does God say about the issue of race? What does God say about injustice? I LOVE the parable of the good Samaritan. It's not always the people that others revere that will come through if there is a problem. Everyone is capable of being a good neighbour. Even a Samaritan. Even the people society at large thought incapable. It would help us a lot if we didn't pre-judge: "I already know what you're going to say, so I'm not going to listen!" Doesn't help anyone. Who here would see themselves not standing up for justice? No one. But the Samaritan's empathy went beyond race or political affiliation or status. He went over and above the call and was so [B][U]kind[/U][/B]. If one who wasn't under covenant (Samaritans were outside of Jewish fellowship, that's kinda the point of the story) can do it, then how much more those in covenant? I think we are being presented with a challenge and an opportunity. Up to the individual and the collective body to rise to it. [/QUOTE]
