Yeah and you're right. I just wanted to hear some interesting discussion about it.

You got me !!!!

They do hate those people. Well, I think racism and hate is a thing Satan puts in people, so they don't have to accept they are sinners. They can blame others for their problems.

Calvin describes God as something he is not, so I would be justified in losing respect for God if Calvin was right. However, that wouldn't happen.

People who aren't saved are so hateful and on top of that, often racist. It's definitely an anti-witness for sure. Who would want to be like that? However, people trapped in the snare of the devil will become like that to some degree. It's simply natural to them. Thank goodness saved...

The scriptures were not written in English.

It's difficult to cure racism among people who are indoctrinated by it. As for myself, I'm white and I work with a black person everyday and black people. The skin color is simply no more relevant than eye color to me. My life is about survival and I simply don't have time to hate and with...

I love the gospel, but I think the right approach is to show the love of God. Make people fall in love with God. One starting place for this is the gospels, for instance, the parable of the Good Samaritan and Prodigal Son.
