The Seed Blog: Racism, Slavery & Scripture, Part 2

9/1/2016

0 Comments

 
Picture
There is only the human race, created in His Image—no other: Acts 17:26. Therefore the only foundation for any ‘racism’ is simply through perceived bias in our personal bad experiences or taught bias through individuals and/or culture. There is not another factor that can contribute to allowing racism to be a reality. There are a number of reasons psychologically, that people become biased or prejudice, and there are very real, and serious issues within our culture that are fueling, and snowballing racism from all sides. We will address some of those issues headlong, because we will not dig to the heart unless we do so, but then, we will dig deeper into the Word of God, and the heart man because the answer to this awful hatred is not ultimately found in laws, restitution, or political correctness, but in God's Love—God's Spirit within us, helping us see reality through His eyes. If we, as Christians with the very Words and Spirit of God in our hearts, can't help others find our way through this selfish mess we are in—what hope is there for a lost world?
We’re going to address the elephant in the room—no beating around the bush, no political correctness will allow us to meet the problems we face, honestly enough, to let God’s love prevail. And though we can’t speak from every perspective, or feel the empathy from every experience, it doesn’t negate God’s Word. God’s Word triumphs our feelings, our justification and our experiences. [Let that sink in for a moment…]
