What was the motive for bringing race into it? - Is it because the person has preconceived prejudices towards black Christians and black Churches?
Yeah, that sentiment kinda rubbed me the wrong way too, but I really think that people don't realize how statements such as that come across. - I try to give them the benefit of doubt, and assume they mean no harm, it's just truly how they feel and think, and there's no changing it.

You are degrading me and I'm a minister. Why don't you practice what you preach. That would be a miracle. That spirit of condemnation has nothing to do with race. It has to do with the heart. Only God can deal with that.

So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed.
As it relates to sin and the behavior of imperfect men and women, there is no distinction when it comes to race, for all have sinned and fallen short.
As it relates to this forum/fellowship we should be kindly affectioned one toward another, building up and encouraging our brothers and sisters. We should not mimick the world on divisive topics but hold forth an example for the world. An example of respect, care and love for one another.

I agree. False accusations cause division.

Confrontation is necessary sometimes today. Love sternly, with meekness and gentleness confronts lies with truth. Confrontation is Biblical.

Disagreeing does not mean there is no love. Many have been here for years and do not agree on anything. So what.

Yes but if you want to confront the "Black church" or the "White church" or any other church, this is probably not the place to do it. Go find ye a church and have at it if led but no one here actually manages the "Black church" or the "White church".
The prophetic word does not cause strife.

John, If you call me a racist and I challenge you on that who is causing strife ? . We are hear to discuss church issues without someone calling us racist. They have used that buzz word several times before and it was always unfair and uncalled for as it is now. So I disagree with your stand that just shutting up and let them slander you is really love at all ?We are free to discuss ALL church issues in a respectful way. I challenge you to go back and re-read my posts and tell me with quotes where I was out of line ?
