Yeah blacks are the racists
This seems to be correct or at least correlative but it doesn’t explain Rome.
More to it than that.
I can’t remember who the participants were, but the story goes that during a debate, an atheist was asked by a Christian apologist this question:
If it was late at night in the inner city, would you rather confront a group of young men from a gang, or a group of young men coming home from a Bible study.
The atheist chose the latter.
Merely Libtards attempting to avoid both observable reality and all IQ test results. Races have different IQ scores.
Little IQ is needed to become an acceptable member of a society. Acculturation is essential and acculturation is best done by a married mother and father assuming both parents are themselves acculturated.
Absolutely true, till recently.
Unfortunately, cybernetics is increasingly creating a situation where there is very low economic demand for any role low IQ individuals are capable of performing, while there is increasing demand for services only high-IQ people are capable of providing.
I suspect the group affected by this enlarges by about one IQ point every two or three years. That interval is probably decreasing.
Yes, yes, but do you suppose the work of the Holy Spirit improves intellect? Especially over generations?
Go to the comments section.
Good. I recall that too.
The Romans’ and Greeks’ technological and cultural achievements, as well as those of the Chinese and whoever, are admirable to the extent that they represented progress up to a point. But the heathen barbarism was always there, as it still is in much of Chinese life under that Godless regime today.
One can of course point, as leftists always do, to the sins of supposedly Christian conquerers and governments over the centuries, however a good standard to use is the old “you know a tree by its fruit.”
I had a pastor who thought AA was useless because alcoholism was just a case of mistaken identity - if drunks would only realize that God is their Father and Christ is their Savior, they wouldn't need anything else. That doesn't explain that i have seen priest/nuns/pastors, etc., at meetings over the decades...
Feeding the spirit is always a viable and desirable option, but we also need to understand that Human nature is what it is and that it also needs to be addressed at the Human level too.
“If Jesus Christ really is the only true way, as New Testament scripture says, then it would appear that whichever race or races happened to have carried the Gospel the most would largely wind up with a special responsibility and position, wouldn’t it?”
I completely disagree. No one has special authority in any way.
Responsibility = Authority. Can’t have one without the other.
People have the responsibility to God, no to or over anyone else.
Explain the Great Commission, then
Paul said that God ordained the limits of the nations and their positions, so as to best permit them to hear the gospel.
Thus those nations which had the gospel, were permitted to have extensive influence in the world—and not for their own benefit, but for the benefit of the rest of the world.
(There was nothing otherwise about a cluster of islands off Europe, devoid of any resources except coal, to suggest that they would be able to absorb India, half of Africa, Australia, Pacific Islands, etc. etc. The idea would be absurd were it included in a gaming option.)
“Great Commission”
You mistake the word of Christ for a command of authority. A commission is a command of authority.
Jesus said to evangelize, which is a far cry from having authority.
Authority means I can hold you against you will to hear my word and to do as I need to command your obedience. Sounds like Islam, actually.
Intent upon driving traffic to the Clash blog, I see.
You’re going off the rails
But there are millions of Africans who are Christians. Ethiopia has been Christian for nearly 2000 years, longer than most of Europe. And we see little cultural advancement. Central America has been Christian for 500 years.
