Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution

Dennis Vogel:
All the world's a stage, And all the men and women merely players; They have their exits and their entrances, And one man in his time plays many parts, His acts being seven ages. At first, the infant, Mewling and puking in the nurse's arms.

William Shakespeare, 1564 - 1616.

We really are blessed to have this place where we can find people of like mind to fellowship with, from almost any where in the world. It's always good to remember that Christ is here with us.

Mat 18:20  For where two or three are gathered together in My name, there am I in the midst of them.

These discussions are for us to weigh one another opinions and hopefully come to a better understanding of these things... and offering Scripture to show why you hold a certain opinion is always beneficial. But there is never a good reason to disparage one another here... some of us have been studying these things longer than others, but that does not always take us to maturity. We can disagree in our opinions, but remember as we learn and grow our opinions change, so why would any condescend to another as we all are still learning?

I don't see any need to judge those in the world, especially if not even a Christian... but doing good is always of benefit, "if anyone's work which he built remains, he shall receive a reward" (1 Cor 3:14), and their time will come. But we should look to those we 'know' are God's chosen as our example, the Apostles. Let us keep our eyes on Christ and the Words He gave us and inspired the Apostles to write and be preserved for us. And we even have a modern day example in Ray as well. Yes we're very blessed and fortunate indeed.

mercy, peace and love

Is persecution only if it is done because of your faith?

It sounds as if you're stating that Ghandi's racism isn't a problem because Jesus was racist. After all, "Christ compared a Canaanite woman to a dog."

Is that what you get out of Matthew 15?

Hm. What  strange dicsussion.

Ghandi was known to be racist towards the south africans, you need only read some of his writtings to find it. He wasn't the martyr the world makes him out to be.

There really is no comparing Jesus to Ghandi and furthermore, Ghandi is elevated on a pedestal by the worldly people while Jesus is relegated to a myth that never existed. Your justifying racism by using Jesus as an example is the first time i've seen it done but I'm sure the sentiment is rampant upon those who would love to tare Him down.

My response doesn't bother you... what you made of my response bothers you because I didn't say any of this stuff.

My statement you're responding to was...

Gandhi said racist things? Christ compared a Canaanite woman to a dog.

Did Christ compare a Canaanite woman to a dog? Yes. Yes He did.
I was comparing someone saying racist things to Christ referring to a Canaanite woman as a dog. If that's not a fair comparison, I'm willing to learn your thoughts as to why and we can have a discussion about it without you putting words in my mouth or falsely accusing me of "justifying racism by using Jesus as an example" as you say.

I never said Gandhi was racist. You did. I never said Jesus was racist.
