Is sticking to your own kind unBiblical?

[Ezekiel1]

Some around here said it's bad, but I might hold fast to people of the same color, and, no, I don't think we're better.

Sorry if this sounds prideful, just don't know how to say it.

Sorry if this sounds racist, just don't know how to say it.

Perhaps it is because I grew up in a small city, 30-35,000, but if you wanted to hang around with anyone your age and same likes and dislikes then you did not pick and choose what color they were.

Good friends are not determined by color, they just are.

Step out of your comfort zone, you just might be surprised.

You don't have to apologize for how you say things.

You say you don't think that you are better. Why do you think you do have this preference? Just curious.

I attended a large congregation Baptist church for a few months that was 99% black. It was okay at first, but after a while, I felt like I could not fit in with the culture and music style.

I believe it is natural to desire to be around others who are "like us." With differing "skin tones" or whatever come differing cultures which we may appreciate at certain times but are likely just more comfortable within our own cultural norm. They say that Church is the most "Segregated" time of the week and those who say this are probably right. You have Black Churches, Mexican Churches, Korean Churches, Indonesian Churches, and on down the list you go. If you have a "European Church," you're probably a racist! Kidding here but perhaps not too far from the actual truth regarding the way people think these days!

Musicians hang around with other musicians, fishermen hang out with other fishermen, "car guys" hang out with other car guys, and on it goes.

I am married to a Filipina, am surrounded by a huge Filipino family, and am a member of a predominantly Filipino Church! I often joke about being called to the Philippines as a missionary and when I didn't go, God brought the Philippines to me!

Art Bell was married to a Filipina woman, twice. The first one died, so he went to the Philippines and got another one.
