Here's a thought.
If everyone wants "equality", why do we continue to support special interest groups?
Why do we continually define ourselves as "African-American, Native American, Asian-American, or Mexican-American?
Why are there schools with that are defined by the amount of melanin in our skin? Why are there scholarships that you can only apply for if you are black, Asian, Latino, Baptist, Catholic, or homosexual?
Do we really want equality, or to be victims with a grievance?
What is sad are professing Christians who are living as socially created victims.
We excuse those in socially/politically defined people groups of protests, rioting, rape, theft, murder, anarchy, and every kind of violence under the sun.
That's not a cry for equality. That is Satan rearing up and blasting his curse across the landscape.
I refuse to call someone an African-American, or black American, or what ever else stupid thing comes up next. There are Americans, or Not Americans.
Immigrants are people who process into another country for the purpose of work and/or residency. I will not call anyone sneaking in like a thief an immigrant, because they aren't immigrants. They're Illegal Aliens.
I will not call a man in a dress my girlfriend. He's not a girl, even if he is my friend.
I will not let my boys sleep in a tent with a girl who decided she wanted to be a guy now.
I will not supply my children and grandchildren with birth control.
There is no such thing as "safe sex" and sure as hell no such thing as "safe sin".
What I WILL do is this.
I will care about people where they are. I don't give a rat's you know what about what color you define yourself as. It doesn't matter.
No really. It doesn't matter unless you decide it does.
Yes, I know there are people to whom it DOES matter. Continue to let others define you, and you've already lost.
I don't care if you think you're gay. I will care about YOU, but not your lifestyle. I WILL tell you the truth that God says about it. I will not beat you over the head, but you will have to decide for obedience or rebellion.
I will pray for you even if we're mad at each other. Even if we decide we can't play nice together, I will never forget you.
I will stand for what God has given us, and this Identity Group mentality is ridiculous. What do you see in the Bible?
Those who believe and obey, and those who do not.
Seriously. Read the 66 books and tell me if I'm dreaming.
The wars, the killing, the blessings, the dysfunctional families, the miracles,the cheating and lying, preaching and praying and hiding and all that.
They've got a bunch of names. Ammonites, Hittites, Hebrews, Romans, Greeks, Caananites, and the list goes on.
And He said to him, “‘You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind.’ This is the great and foremost commandment. The second is like it, ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’
Matthew 22:37-39 But the Lord answered and said to her, “Martha, Martha, you are worried and bothered about so many things; but only one thing is necessary, for Mary has chosen the good part, which shall not be taken away from her.”
Luke 10:41-42
Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father but through Me. If you had known Me, you would have known My Father also; from now on you know Him, and have seen Him.” Philip said to Him, “Lord, show us the Father, and it is enough for us.” Jesus said to him, “Have I been so long with you, and yet you have not come to know Me, Philip? He who has seen Me has seen the Father; how can you say, ‘Show us the Father’? Do you not believe that I am in the Father, and the Father is in Me? The words that I say to you I do not speak on My own initiative, but the Father abiding in Me does His works. Believe Me that I am in the Father and the Father is in Me; otherwise believe because of the works themselves. Truly, truly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do, he will do also; and greater works than these he will do; because I go to the Father. Whatever you ask in My name, that will I do, so that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If you ask Me anything in My name, I will do it. If you love Me, you will keep My commandments."
John 14:6-15
DO you see anything here that says "Keep fighting for the right to be separate!"
No.
DO you get to make up your own gospel because you and yours are mistreated?
No.
Do you get to be all nasty and angry because the WORLD is crappy and no one is giving you what you need?
No.
Just sayin'.
Believe me, I would LOVE to be on your side! I want my son back, I want my life back, I want my ministry back, I want what I want and I want it now.
That's not reality.
Reality is not what I want or think should happen.
Reality is it is a lost, frightening, hurt, angry world out there.
And it doesn't have to be, and isn't supposed to be, that way.
We have got to get our heads out of the satanically designed smokescreen of the fallen world, and remember why we are who we are.
I am a child of the Living King of Heaven.
I was designed from the beginning of time to be His child.
I cannot be overcome.
The world is counting on me being who I was created to be.
Nothing truly defines me but being a child of the Most High God of Heaven.
Not my skin, or my name, or my politics or my church.
He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To him who overcomes, to him I will give some of the hidden manna, and I will give him a white stone, and a new name written on the stone which no one knows but he who receives it.’ Revelation 2:17
DO you know the only mentions of skin color are in Song of Solomon? And it's talking about her skin being sunburned from working in the open fields. That was a hint that she was not a debutante fit for the king. Nothing else.
If you want equality, you're going to have to stop making yourself unequal first.
You cannot be equal as long as you continue to promote your superiority.
That's what I said
Your superiority.
Stop it.
Just, stop
** I gave up. Snowflakes, you gotta grow up.
