Love in the Church will Automatically Preclude Racism in the Church
Love in the Church will automatically preclude racism in the Church
“He that is unjust, let him be unjust still: and he which is filthy, let him be filthy still: and he that is righteous, let him be righteous still: and he that is holy, let him be holy still.” - Revelation 22:11
“Little children, yet a little while I am with you. Ye shall seek me: and as I said unto the Jews, Whither I go, ye cannot come; so now I say to you. A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another. By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another.” - John 13:33-35
Do not primarily interfere with cultural concerns of the World. Concern yourselves foremost, dear Church of our same Master and Savior Jesus Christ, with loving each other in the Church. This will automatically preclude racism in the Church.
Our purview is the Church, not with solving the problems of the enemies of God. “He that is unjust, let him be unjust still..” “And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto me”, said Jesus in John 12:32. We don’t have to withhold succor from the World, but our focus must be the Church. We must love each other and spend our time and resources on each other. And when we help each other learn how to respond in love to each other, we will automatically be the most kind and gentle people the World has ever seen! This is healing, and this is potently helpful to them as well as to us. The World is God’s enemy. Understand. Let individuals in the World go to Christ when He calls them, and let us help those individuals who were in the World as they are in the Church, according to God’s will for us to love one another, even as Christ has loved us.

Racism is defined as distinguishing between races........................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................... .. . Races don't exist. Cultures do. So does a concerted effort to subvert the gospel as though it were an agent for social change - all the way, with no individual salvation from the beginning, as though Christ's death, itself, was just a sad icon of the evils of society that caused His death!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !! ! The SOCIAL GOSPEL IS HERESY. You can look up and find out what Walter Rauschenbusch did all those years ago and what he said. ... .. .The teaching to love that comes from Christ is enough to already combat so-called racism and other forms of surface judgement which leads to evil hatred. The Church already teaches it, without disparaging the *actual* gospel: Confess with your mouth Master Jesus, believing He died for our sins, according to the Scriptures, and that He was buried, and that God raised Him again from the dead on the third day, according to the Scriptures, and that He was seen afterward by Peter, and the Disciples and over 500 brothers at once, most of whom were still alive when this saying was going around and came to Paul, who wrote it in a letter to the Church at Corinth, then Master Jesus after His Resurrection was seen by James, and the apostles at large and then by Paul. Salvation comes by confessing with your mouth Master Jesus, and righteousness comes by believing in your heart that God raised Him from the dead! Salvation does not come from solving the WORLD'S PROBLEMS - THEY ARE INDICATIONS OF THEIR WRONGNESS. Don't try to cover them up for them (or give them ..soup..) and call it the gospel of Christ!

Stop using the word "racism" and "race", because there's no such thing. It's really fear-driven hate due to *culture*, marked by skin-tone, which is just a surface judgment that happens to go along with *culture*. Let's look at *cultural* differences, realize we don't care, and *then* breathe easy, letting the whole fiasco grow dim. Stop saying "race" - the use of that false word is just another form of eugenics! It doesn't exist!! The problems exist, but they are all predicated on something else besides the mythical races, and we need to look directly at the *actual* causes of our disdain in order to confront it!
