Texas Exit.

That takes either party to just quit the discussion, then it is no longer a debate going on.
Getting in the last word is useless, dont ever try to do that in any debate or disagreement.

 

...and here we see the open racism of Quantrill. Denying the inherent value of persons whose skin pigment is not white. Denying that all person's are created by God. That all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God. Denying that Jesus breaks down and cast away all barriers, making all redeemed person's equal in Christ with no respect for the skin pigmentation God gave them.
How disappointed Q will be when he sees person's from every nation tribe and tongue worshipping as one body before the throne of our King.
Q, you remind me of the Pharisees and Sadducees who rejected Jesus full inclusion of women and Gentiles into His Kingdom. May God break you of your racist thinking and reveal to you His reconciliation of people from all nations, tribes and tongues as one, equal, group.
My prayers are for your healing from racism.

 

I often wondered when God divided the races, and I think He did that after the flood when He divided the people into nations and forced them all to speak a different language. Not that they were suddenly colored or looked different, but their children were different.

Acts 17, God made all mankind from Adam alone, (includes Eve) so from one blood, many nations. And God determined the extent of their boundaries and PREAPPOINTED times.
God is definitely not letting things happen randomly, He predetermines the fate of nations and peoples, races and situational circumstances and is in charge of everything that occurs.

25 Nor is He worshiped with men’s hands, as though He needed anything, since He gives to all life, breath, and all things.
26 And He has made from one blood every nation of men to dwell on all the face of the earth, and has determined their preappointed times and the boundaries of their dwellings,

 

Much how God manipulated the genetic code with Jacob's sheep when Jacob worked for Laban, God manipulated skin color for various regions of the world as people moved to various places. It's a grace from God, not a curse so that humans could survive various conditions on earth.
Christians should be ashamed of harboring any forms of racism in their being.

 

Sounds like you're living in a conspiracy theory.
The civil war was a judgment from God because the United States refused to outlaw slavery from the beginning. God killed hundreds of thousands of people in that war in an attempt to get wicked, rebellious, sinners to repent. God ordained the fall of the South because they did not condemn slavery and bigotry.
Sadly such bigotry also resided in the North and still finds harbor in souls today. Such bigotry is a sure sign that Christians still need sanctifying everyday.

Falling upon States Rights is a means of scapegoating the wickedness of racism.

 

Christians, if they experience persecution or racism should heed the scriptures.
The concept is in the world your going to have fiery trials, but they are proving your faith genuine and giving you a sure reward, if you do not give up the faith.
Such as Jesus saying
40 If anyone wants to sue you and take away your tunic, let him have your cloak also.
41 And whoever compels you to go one mile, go with him two.
42 Give to him who asks you, and from him who wants to borrow from you do not turn away.

And Paul saying, dont go to court to fix your grievances in society, courts here are of this world, and the same thing regarding politics. Paul says you should rather let yourself be defrauded. As soon as you fall into the trap of the world by doing that, you have utterly failed the faith.

1 Dare any of you, having a matter against another, go to law before the unrighteous, and not before the saints? 2 Do you not know that the saints will judge the world? And if the world will be judged by you, are you unworthy to judge the smallest matters?
.......

5 I say this to your shame. Is it so, that there is not a wise man among you, not even one, who will be able to judge between his brethren? 6 But brother goes to law against brother, and that before unbelievers!

7 Now therefore, it is already an utter failure for you that you go to law against one another. Why do you not rather accept wrong? Why do you not rather let yourselves be cheated? 8 No, you yourselves do wrong and cheat, and you do these things to your brethren! 9 Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived. Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor homosexuals, nor sodomites, 10 nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners will inherit the kingdom of God.

And Peter about the wonderful salvation God has given you and then of your suffering in this world

6 In this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while, if need be, you have been grieved by various trials, 7 that the genuineness of your faith, being much more precious than gold that perishes, though it is tested by fire, may be found to praise, honor, and glory at the revelation of Jesus Christ, 8 whom having not seen you love. Though now you do not see Him, yet believing, you rejoice with joy inexpressible and full of glory, 9 receiving the end of your faith—the salvation of your souls.

And then the joyfulness even when your goods are plundered.
Hebrews 10:34
for you had compassion on me in my chains, and joyfully accepted the plundering of your goods, knowing that you have a better and an enduring possession for yourselves in heaven.

And you have need of enduring patience, people who do not believe don't get saved, even if you believed once, you must continue in faith till the end, v14. The example is Israelites who could not enter into God's promises because of unbelief.

12 Beware, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief in departing from the living God; 13 but exhort one another daily, while it is called “Today,” lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin. 14 For we have become partakers of Christ if we hold the beginning of our confidence steadfast to the end, 15 while it is said:

“Today, if you will hear His voice,
Do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion.”

Failure of the Wilderness Wanderers
16 For who, having heard, rebelled? Indeed, was it not all who came out of Egypt, led by Moses? 17 Now with whom was He angry forty years? Was it not with those who sinned, whose corpses fell in the wilderness? 18 And to whom did He swear that they would not enter His rest, but to those who did not obey? 19 So we see that they could not enter in because of unbelief.

 

What does this have to do with racism by believers.

Jesus gives us an example of racism falling when he shares the good news to the Samaritan woman and her entire town.

Paul openly confronted Peter for his racism when Peter allowed himself to be influenced by Judaizers who attempted to separate themselves from the body of Christ, somehow imagining themselves to be superior.

The fact is that racism is condemned by God.

 

They could have split and formed two countries. The godless practice of slavery would have continued in the South. God ordained the Union. God also ordained the Civil War and killed hundreds of thousands of people because they would not repent. God will bring even worse disaster upon the US for it's leadership in abortion.
