It Exists! Would the Racist Christian Enter Heaven's Gates?Posted : 25 Feb, 2010 12:23 PMRecent events have led me to research the terms Racism, Racist and Prejudice. Which by the way all have similarities. So many things we do and say are actually the ways and thinking of society and not Christianity. These 3 exist in all forms and fashion within so many around us and even within us. |

It Exists! Would the Racist Christian Enter Heaven's Gates?Posted : 25 Feb, 2010 02:13 PMThis is tough, you would think so but it is...the New Testament makes it clear that to hate someone is to commit murder in your heart. So...God sees that hatred as murder. Obviously a breaking of the Ten Commandments. On the other hand, God knows we are a sinful people and that's why He sent Jesus to on the cross to forgive us our sins...and yet (I feel like I'm running circles, haha!) when we come to God and repent, which means that we turn away from our sinful ways, we are supposed to do our best to live as Christ lived. So if we are trying to live our life as best to our ability as Christ did, I don't see how a Christian could hate/ be racist, I mean they would of had to of repented/turned away from the sin of hatred/murder. To continue in that kind of lifestyle would be a constant and deliberate act of sin against God. I say that cause I know that we all back slide from time to time but to keep a sinful lifestyle is not backsliding, that person never changed to begin with. So I guess to answer your question...No, I don't think a racist person who considers themselves a Christian makes to Heaven. |

It Exists! Would the Racist Christian Enter Heaven's Gates?Posted : 26 Feb, 2010 06:11 AMI do not think they would go to heaven if they are racist. I agree with all the others, in that if you hate then you are guilty of a sin. |

It Exists! Would the Racist Christian Enter Heaven's Gates?Posted : 26 Feb, 2010 10:58 AMMmm...I think that if someone was ignorant of the fact that racism was sin, then maybe they would be in heaven...but it would be very hard to be ignorant about racism...it's so obviously wrong. |

It Exists! Would the Racist Christian Enter Heaven's Gates?Posted : 26 Feb, 2010 07:33 PMDearest child ... does not the Lord our God say, " but I tell you this, the greatest command of all is to love one another as I have loved you " he does not designate any color or gender ... racism, bigotry and intolerance have been with us since Satan became the second most powerful force in the universe and has not been the province of any particular group of people .Did not Moses' sister decry his marriage to a woman of dark skin, an Ethiopean ? Numbers 12 I believe, and was not God offended by the questioning and thus afflicted her with Leprosy , white as snow, God's mercy, through the intervention of Moses ( a white man ) allowed Miriam to be healed from the Leprosy so incurable in the ancient world ... and his brother Aaron to be spared completely ... so to answer your question to the best of my poor ability ... I offer the following ... In God is healing and mercy for anyone and through Jesus, even the vilest sinner ( and there are those throughout history whose crimes render racism a minor offense ) truly repenting his sin and accepting the Living God into his heart, his soul, his very being will indeed see Paradise... we are the recipients of the Holy Ghost ...and as such, recognize our sins both past and present, with the right to petition God for needed forgiveness ... we are love for all, and I truly believe Heaven is color blind and God is the merciful Judge " WHO FORGIVES US OVER AND OVER AND OVER " much love to you for blessed are the peacemakers ... |

It Exists! Would the Racist Christian Enter Heaven's Gates?Posted : 26 Feb, 2010 08:10 PMTo be a little more specific, perhaps we should say, "No one with UNFORGIVEN sins would be found in heaven?" Otherwise the Heavenly City could end up being a ghost town . . . |
