From Wikipedia's article on race: The modern concept of race emerged as a product of the colonial enterprises of European powers from the 16th to 18th centuries which identified race in terms of skin color and physical differences.

There was an article by Pastor Thabiti Anyibwile that explained that there is no biological basis for race. There are ethnicities and nationalities but race is just a made up concept based on the theory of evolution and Christians should reject it. I can't find the article anymore but it...

I think my husband would agree with you. His view is that using terms like "black culture" forces a collective view that's often full of negative stereotypes. My view is that this is true, but unavoidable and therefore not worth challenging. I cannot wake up and avoid being associated with...

It's actually refreshing. I don't like when people feel as though they can't ask questions about race because of modern politics.

I can't really help you too much. I use African American and black interchangeably. Growing up, when surveys ask me to identify with a race, the box always said African American, so Im just used to it for convenience and recognition's sake. Im not against the term because many black people in...

I don't believe in forced diversity or inclusion. But I also don't think any government resources should go to enforcing people's preferred races either. Growing up in America, in a melting pot of cultures, I have zero interest in the preservation of any race including my own. Case in point...

What's bad about that?

You'll never be anything. You're nothing. The alpaca wool scarf was arranged carefully on the mannequin in the corner of the apartment. The green and navy fibers blended together in an ombre transition. Kendra would have paired it with a modest but quirky ensemble with mixed patterns and...

So they are not saved, but they are to remain faithful? How? I don't agree with this statement. Ive heard it before. Not only does it seem unlike the character of a good Father, but where does Scripture say God commands us to do things we will fail at so we will turn to Christ? God expected...

Awesome post! Popular theology refuted by multiple Scriptures. Love it!

I think I read your free will breakdown three times...Im trying? Are you agreeing with me that mankind has free will because we live inside of time but there's technically no free will in heaven and in God's eyes?

Oh no. I'm not smart enough to understand this! Lol it's not your fault! Ill probably never understand freewill vs the Sovereignty of God.

It's good that you care enough to speak up. I must admit, I don't always speak up because it's easier not to. So I pretend not to care at times.

It may be that Christianity is a narrow path. But I don't think it's as complicated as some make it sound. Jesus pointed to children as how we should receive the Kingdom. I think when I start thinking negative thoughts about other Christians and their walk with God, it can be a discouraging...

Ive always thought of Jesus as the Bridegroom but Ill likely look into the verses you referenced.

I think I have a better grasp on your view of works now. I believe there are verses that point to God initiating conversion for sure. But then there are verses like the following: Hebrews 3:15 15 While it is said, To day if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts, as in the...
