Your ignorance is without excuse since I've NEVER said salvation isn't open to all - Jews, Israelites and Gentiles - or that we aren't all sinners in need of repentance and forgiveness, as offered by our Savior, the Passover Lamb, the King of the Jews, the King of Israel - or does that make you uncomfortable in your self-righteousness when you read the Bible and see how ethnocentric it is (for a purpose)?David Ben-Arielhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02271443642557427428noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16823188.post-51490166545640745972008-03-08T23:58:00.000-05:002008-03-08T23:58:00.000-05:00I am embarassed by your ignorance, and you should ...I am embarassed by your ignorance, and you should be too. You, like everyone else, are a product of your environment, upbringing, and in your case, lack of education. I hope for your sake that you come to know your God in terms of love and growth instead of ignorance and hate. It is people like you who force me to reach into myself as deep as possible to find compassion for you despite your appauling disposition. But I know that even the world's most ignorant, arrogant, and backward people are human, and imperfect, and equal in the eyes of God, (whatever God you choose to believe in, as ultimately God is Love, and goes by a million different names), and so I can only pray for you.jadehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15449092091123786610noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16823188.post-34004479589132445842008-01-22T16:56:00.000-05:002008-01-22T16:56:00.000-05:00You're more than welcome, Sapphire (sounds beautif...You're more than welcome, Sapphire (sounds beautiful).<BR/><BR/>At least you asked and I did what I could to answer.<BR/><BR/>Be well, :-)<BR/><BR/>DavidDavid Ben-Arielhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02271443642557427428noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16823188.post-22642846297562820912008-01-22T16:39:00.000-05:002008-01-22T16:39:00.000-05:00Thank you.

WE NEVER TAUGHT THAT, and <B>we teach children are innocent. </B><BR/><BR/>The Worldwide Church of God also never required such mixed race couples to separate, although I questioned that policy years ago since we would require homosexual relationships to break up, proving their repentance. Those who are mixed need to marry somebody, those so inclined, so they're free to marry whichever race they choose.David Ben-Arielhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02271443642557427428noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16823188.post-85919121005489099382008-01-22T08:52:00.000-05:002008-01-22T08:52:00.000-05:00I am aware that the World Wide Church of God teach...I am aware that the World Wide Church of God teaches that inter-racial marriages are a sin. I used to attend that church back in the 90's with my ex husband. We were married in the church in 1994. <BR/> I am mixed and he was Lebanese.<BR/><BR/>While you have the right to believe what you may, and I will not argue one way or the other, for Christians should not argue just for the sake of fighting...<BR/><BR/> I am curious, am I considered an abomination because of my mixed races? I mean, I had no choice in the matter. Does God see me as any less of a person because of what my parents chose to do...marry and have children?Sapphirehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10782258638470260875noreply@blogger.com
