Thank you for that post Andrew.

I agree with much of what you said. When I ask myself questions and search things out I realize how the word is full of lies, hypocrisy. It is truly incredible. In Isaiah, God said the whole head is sick when describing Israel.

 Jeff made a great point. We are all guilty of all. Perhaps we did not actually kill anybody but we are by no means innocent. Its easy to blame others such as politicians but we need to deal with the beast within. For me it is a long and humbling journey. Christ gave us a way of escape.

Kent I too have seen the older black people scared of the black youths. I live in a neighborhood that has a mix of old folks black and white and they do have their houses all bared up to keep the thieves out. I hardly see any old folks hanging outside anymore. I live in New Orleans and every night on the news is black on black killings I tell you you hardly ever see a white on withe killing. Not that it doesn't happen. I tell you we have 3to4 murders a weeken all black on black. As someone mention most serial killers are white. I don;t know the reason why but it is true most are white. Now someone said we all are guilty is some way or the other. I disagree I don't feel I'm guilty of the situation some black folks are in or not in. I have notice some will play the blame game on others for their situation, something that happen 300/400yrs ago. No I don't have any guilt for something i had no part of. That's just me and the way I feel. everybody is in title to their own opinion.

Hi Darren,
I wasn't saying we are accountable for everyone's sins, but in James it does say we are guilty of all (basically we broke the law). The reason I said it was to remind us that the Kingdom of God is within. Sorry if I was not clear.
Peace,
Steve

Dave in Tenn:
Steve, you are so correct in speaking of the scripture saying we are guilty of all.  This isn't just a theoretical concept.  There's many aspects to that, I'm sure, but one is that (especially in our families) these evils done before we were born are part of the 'cause' that still affects us and part of the carnality which has got to be burned out of us. 

It HAS to be carnal to divide people up into races.  In the Kingdom, there is not even male and female, nor Jew and Gentile, so how can there be division between races?  No...this is sin and has to go whatever God has to do to get it out.  I know that He will eventually, but I can't see me ready for the Kingdom giving more than a momentary thought to a person's race.  God help us all get there.
