I agree. And I think modern science has born this out. Humans are the same species and subspecies. Race is an obsolete distinction, that appears to be based solely on appearance.

Negative? maybe you're mixing me up with another poster. I don't think modern nomenclature is wrong or negative. The problem is when you falsely apply it to biblical nomenclature. I do think it would be helpful to get rid of some unnecessary distinctions. I think that's what MLK wanted...

Also, interestingly, blood types transcend modern racial distinctions. Distribution of blood types O A B AB Aborigines 61 39 0 0 Ainu (Japan) 17 32 32 18 Albanians 38 43 13 6 Grand Andamanese 9 60 23 9 Arabs 34 31 29 6 Armenians 31 50 13 6...

Neither does Scripture, that's the point. And Scripture says there is one blood, not multiple bloods. Modern distinctions of blood types have nothing to do with anything. You're making a nomenclature error. Scripture holds that human blood is human blood (distinct from animals bloods), and...

Indeed. The Canaan curse was fulfilled by Jacob conquering their land. And the cruse was not racial, but behavioral. Nothing about skin colors is mentioned. The Canaanites, a single nation from Ham, were very wicked. All nations are wicked, some worse than others, but the use of this text...

No one denies Jesus and the gospel are the end goal. But I don't think trying to do good and point out God's truths gets in the way of that. To use a colloquialism, we can walk and chew gum at the same time. (I don't mean that offensively, in any way) In fact I would argue that doing good...

Another truth we can offer the world is that police and law enforcement are from God. Paul described them as God's ministers. Rom. 13:1 Let every soul be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and the authorities that exist are appointed by God. 2...

I'm for tempting with meat and then shaming them with footage on social media. They would never show their faces again. Exactly why we need to tempt them with meat!

I agree, but this is in God's timing. Some are ready for salvation, others are not. In the meantime, does the testimony of words and deeds matter?

Agree, and I totally trust his judgment. This is the part I'm not clear on. Created equal in worth before God is a truth we can embrace. The fact that some are born into humble circumstances, doesn't change that. Which to me, sounds like we're all equal before God. You seem to be arguing...

"Where is the outrage?," sister of slain officer black officer asks. https://twitter.com/CalebJHull/status/1270787340122890241 That's what I'd like to know. What is with this white silence?

So it looks like these well-organized revolutionaries have a small problem. The homeless took their food. Antifa Organizer in Seattle’s “Autonomous Zone” Begs For ‘Vegan Meat and Soy’ to ‘Keep Area Operational’ After Homeless People Take All Their Food They seized 6 blocks in Seattle, but...

A good example for this topic may be the Ty Cobb story. He has the reputation for being a terrible racist and a dirty player. But is this true? Calling Good People "Racist" Isn't New: the Case of Ty Cobb Does it matter?

Is the gospel the only thing we can offer, or the only thing we should? Does our citizenship and other deeds help in any way? Our testimony, for example? Our revealing of certain truths?

Hmm. While I agree, that we must be born again to be saved, I'm not sure I agree that an unbeliever can never be a good citizen, never accept the truth about anything never distinguish between good and evil. Perhaps you can reexplain that. In fact, I believe the the Church can and has been...

One thing, also, this debate desperately needs is an emphasis on the importance of truth. Truth matters needs top all other matters mantras. Truth is losing its importance in today's society. Truth and justice are no longer the American way. It was left out of the modern Superman movie...

I'm not sure what you're saying here. If you're saying that some men are born more sinful than others, I disagree. If you're saying that only some races can be saved, I disagree. If you're merely saying that various men will be born into various situations, and some will have advantages, like...

This is a key point I've been thinking about. Maybe we are not having real meaningful race discussions yet. Maybe the real discussion is too difficult to have. If we're all in Adam and all under a curse, and all have a sin nature, then maybe we need to be looking beyond the white community...

They are in sense. The term born again, is significant, as we are all born in Adam, and to escape this identity, we are born again into Christ. You could certainly say there are just two races, those still in Adam and those in Christ. Jesus himself called Christians kinsman or brothers.
