I am not a good Christian in popular terms, but, as a Bible Belter, I have the common courtesy to tak people’s faith seriously.
One commenter referred to clergymen who use the Bible to justify Political Correctness, as “cop-outs.”
Let’s call it by its name. This is not a cop-out. This is blasphemy. There is POWER in plain speaking.
I do not claim to have any religious authority. Those who do have assumed, in their and their follwers’ minds, a massive responsibility. When I hammer on “Do unto others as you would have them do unto you” I am expressing my own argument, nothing else. A clergyman has the right to say something is his opinion. But when he speaks for God as a representative of God, this takes on an entirely different character.
When CLERGYMEN who claim to be called by God state flatly that the latest dictuim of Political Correctness is what God wants, he is in a position I am NOT in.
If he truly believes what he says, that is one thing. But if his declaration is obviously to satfisfy the powers that be, that is straight blasphemy.
When Bob Jones IV saw that all the money men were going against the Confederate flag and joined them because he said GOD wanted it to come down, I caused a lot of protests from his followers by stating flatly that this was blasphemy, a term a Bible literalist should understand.
Jones quoted a passage from the New Testament which had been there for over a millenium and a half to justify his switch. That same passage had been there during the thirty years he supported the flag. He suddenly discovered it when he found that the money men could threaten his inherited family business.
That is not a cop-out, that is blasphemy..

All white people are Bible Belters. That’s why politically correct, anti-white racism is strait out of the pit. Those that knowingly love anti-white racism are very wicked. Those that mindlessly adhere to anti-white racism are on the broad path. That’s what I think.

I am slugging it out with some of these True Believer blasphemers now.

My paternal grandmother often osberved that with the clergy it had to be understood that the calling was sacred, not the damned fool called.

That’s a good point. There are passages in the Bible forbidding miscegenation. PC Christians ‘Reinterpret’ those passages nowadays. I point it out to them and their eyes go glassy.
Where were they for the last 2 millennia?

shari, if the Gospel turns out to be true, I know where they will be for the NEXT millennia.

Actually I didn’t mean anything unseen. I was trying to limit it to the seen. Today, anti-white racism is the broad and easy path. I’ll leave the Next millennia to God.

Well in this “Invasion of the Body Snatchers” where jews replace whites and those that were once white now get their cult of choice, many of them have the cross in their symbology. Now the usual shriek and retreaters are bemoaning this with the “all is hopeless” garbage I find this an opportunity.
Let us think outside of the liberal’s box. We could get the churches to have their parishinors to reject their white racial heritage and instead adopt the wordism of the day. Cults are best left to self destruct. Perhaps the cultists of white liberal PC could have public rejections of their race, we could challenge them to live up to their rhetoric.
