Hi Anthony,
That is interesting reading for establishing someones racial or ethnic findings. Since i have been a historian
for some 45 years (from 11 years old) i did read about most of the conquest by many nations over the
centuries. Between Russia, England, Spain, Holland and many
(mostly) European countries; large parts of
the known World have been conquered, divided, renamed and resettled. Some of the most atrocious things
have been done, to many Nations; in the name of someone's: God, National Pride, Economic Needs or just
plain Evil Desires. It is good reading for learning history somewhat but
we now have a Higher Calling.
The Scriptures quite plainly state that: God is no Respector of persons, so all the past histories are
now to us dead letters in terms of our Relationship To God and Mankind. I do not have to like anyone
if my mind is still carnal but: The Great Commandment From Jesus Christ: Matthew: 22: 36-40
36-Master, which is the great commandment in the law?
37-Jesus said to him, You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind.
38-This is the first and great commandment.
39-And the second is like to it, You shall love your neighbor as yourself.
40-On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.
Romans 2:28:
For he is not a Jew, which is one outwardly; neither is that circumcision, which is outward in the flesh:
Romans 2:29:
But he is a Jew, which is one inwardly; and circumcision is that of the heart, in the spirit, and not in the letter; whose praise is not of men, but of God.
Romans 10:12:
For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich to all that call on him.
I Corinthians 1:23:
But we preach Christ crucified, to the Jews a stumbling block, and to the Greeks foolishness;
I Corinthians 1:24:
But to them which are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God.
Galatians 3:28:
There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for you are all one in Christ Jesus.
Colossians 3:11:
Where there is neither Greek nor Jew, circumcision nor uncircumcision, Barbarian, Scythian, bond nor free: but Christ is all, and in all. george.
