What you call the "social justice gospel" is what Jesus taught. You don't want to hear these words do you?
Mat 25:41 Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels:
Mat 25:42 For I was an hungred, and ye gave me no meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me no drink:
Mat 25:43 I was a stranger, and ye took me not in: naked, and ye clothed me not: sick, and in prison, and ye visited me not.
Mat 25:44 Then shall they also answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, or athirst, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister unto thee?
Mat 25:45 Then shall he answer them, saying, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye did [it] not to one of the least of these, ye did [it] not to me.
Mat 25:46 And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal.

Here Jesus is talking about feeding the poor, clothing them, giving them medical help and visiting those in prison. I think you would call these things part of the "social gospel" wouldn't you? Doing these things does not save you but all those who are saved exhibit this kind of behavior.
Here my friend Jemima, comes over every time we have pancakes.
And yes, I am mocking you. Your question shows how dumb liberals are. Just because you have had a Korean or African American or whatever over to your house does not prove you are not a bigot. In fact, anyone who has to tell other people they have had a black or oriental or any other person in their home is really showing they are bigoted. At the very least you are worried you are a bigot, and must prove to others you are not.
Taking a large class of people together and assigning the same beliefs and actions to all of them, as you and most of the CONs here do, is inherently discrimination.
discrimination - treatment or consideration of, or making a distinction in favor of or against, a person or thing based on the group, class, or category to which that person or thing belongs rather than on individual merit: racial and religious intolerance and discrimination.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
The Bible tells us to treat people as individuals not as part of large groups.
Gal 3:28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus.
Why does this seem like boasting to me?
Perhaps so few have answered the question because they are uncomfortable boasting.
Simply answering the question i not boasting. Answer the question.
So is sin.
Yeah. It's a sin to waste time arguing with puffed-up libtards. Guess I'll go count minorities.
I was merely pointing out how silly it is to accuse someone of being discriminatory, then being discriminatory yourself. It didn't take you much time, either.
Anyhoo, this is still the stupidest thread I have seen in a while.

Ah, but that's the whole point. By answering the question from the original post, one must agree with the original poster that having minorities in one's home makes one more righteous ..... and more liberal than others. I don't agree with that. Ergo, I can't answer the question without rolling my eyes.
The question itself was a boast. And a dare. An "I-dare-you-to-prove-your-love-of-those-different-than-you" type of thing. Any serious answering of it is, as I said earlier, just a p***ing contest.
I have had minorities in my home, but not very often. Does that REALLY mean something to anyone? Does that REALLY tell anyone anything at all about my Christianity, my politics, or my character? I would hope that we were not all that superficial.
I'm not. I can't tell anything about people by knowing or not knowing if they have had minorities in their homes or not.
The real test as to whether or not one is a racist is how one speaks of them or refers to them when they are NOT around. Any white person can be courteous to a black person who is a guest in their home or a co-worker. It's how that white person refers to black people when no black people are around that betrays any racist tendencies.
Jesus said that we are to love our neighbors even those who are our enemies. Anything that can be interpreted as doing this is in obedience to His command. All the rest of this is in the details.
I find the OP a very racist question. Why focus on one group of people? What is the purpose of asking about how many of us had someone from that one group of people stay in our home? If I have not had one of these people in my home, does that make me bad/evil/racist/sinful?? What if I have? Am I better? I don't know but I've had PEOPLE stay in my home - saved and unsaved. THAT is the only division I worry about. The unsaved heard the Gospel, the saved were wonderful fellowship.
I just don't understand the line of questioning.

Alatide, you are plain dumb. As I wrote in another post, my very best friend for years was black. He was not a house guest, he was my FRIEND. He came over to my house, I went over to his. His family knew my family. We were friends. It had nothing to do with color.
But you know what? We used to joke each other about race all the time. Once we were driving and I was going a little too fast. My friend Leroy said I should slow down or we might get pulled over by the cops. I said, "I'm not worried, it's not me they are going to pull out of the car and beat!"
Now you, being a liberal could never get that. We were friends. We could and did joke about things like that all the time. We loved each other with a brotherly love. We weren't hanging out with each other to prove to others we weren't bigots.
I promise you I have spent more time with black people than you. My sister-in-law is half black. But unlike you, that is no big deal in my family. We all love each other for who we are, not color.
You just don't get it. By asking stupid questions like this you are showing that inside you are prejudice and bigoted. You are also self-righteous.
He did it because billwald was trying to find an underhanded way to call people on this board racist.
By the way, for those scoring at home, his attempt failed miserably.
You know the sad thing? I think there are a couple of people on this board that would be sad to know I'm not racist. They really wish I was, because it helps them be more puffed up.
Why don't you just answer his question?
Being cute is not being wise nor does it show any thinking. I guess sophomores like these kind of cutie answers.

Do you know how to keep a liberal in suspense?
I do not know who you think is in suspense. I am amused at how far many will go to not answer the question.
Simply answering the question does not show nor does it not show racism.
I am not comfortable boasting like some others here seem to be.
